I want to echo Rami's call to play and review the House of Hikmah, and while I'm not one to rock the boat, I do also want to call on other outlets to cover the game.
It currently has only 3 reviews on MetaCritic, and needs at least 4 to get an aggregated score. Help people find this beautiful game.
One thing that's easy to miss about the just-released House of Hikmah is that the Islamic Scholars are known with the same awe and reverence as superheroes in Western culture. It'd be hard to grow up without learning of the exploits of some of these characters.

Melania Trump is now bringing up the Epstein files to distract everyone from the complete disaster that is the Iran war which was started to distract from the Epstein files
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Oh my god.
The Prime Minister's social media account puts out a post reflecting on the horrors of one genocide, hours after refused to explicitly condemn the threat of another.
(Not to mention the failure to close loopholes that see Canadian companies arm yet another genocide -- in Gaza)
Four headlines in which Marjorite Taylor Greene, Tucker Carolson, Piers Morgan, and Alex Jones condemn Trump for his genocidal threats to Iran.
Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters
Sorry, which side is supposed to be religious zealots here, someone remind me.
Over on The Gamers’ Inn this week, I’ve wrapped up my latest backlog adventure with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, while @joceplays.com contemplates on what to play next. Over in the news, we have updates/rumours from the major console players.

TGI March 2026 Host Special - Jocelyn - Rise of Battle Royale

Ugh, I hadn't heard the full story. That pisses me off so much. If you didn't like the original, pass it off to someone who does, don't scrap the whole thing. The show had its problems but it was ICONIC. That guy sucks.
It's very sad. As someone of a certain age, I was looking forward to SMG returning and bringing a badass, mature Buffy into being. I liked mentor Buffy from Season 7. I hope another, smarter platform buys the rights and makes it into something awesome.
On TGI this week, @jonjagger.bsky.social from @coreshow.bsky.social returns to the show to discuss Resident Evil Requiem. We keep plot points contained to what’s presented in the marketing, and with multiple playthroughs complete we’ve got plenty to chat about!

The vast majority of Canadians no longer consider the United States to be an ally — except Conservatives:
🔴 LPC: 5%
🟠 NDP: 4%
⚜️ BQ: 5%
🔵 CPC: 56%
Maybe we should not all be forced to build games that require servers
On the latest The Gamers’ Inn, @joceplays.com returns to a few past favourites, while I share early impressions on Resident Evil Requiem. Plus, our thoughts on the God of War TV show first look, new Pokémon in 2027, and Highguard shutting down next week.

Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."
February 2026 TGI Game Night VOD now available for Patrons!
@joceplays.com and I returned to R.E.P.O., and it turns out the game had a few updates since we last played, which led to some scary moments for our players. Tune in and find out who got scared the most!

Unsurprisingly the new head of Xbox (the previous head of "CoreAI") painfully obviously used genAI to write her mission statement.
You can practically hear the deleted emojis next to the three big pillars that all kinda sound the same?
That's why I like it here so much more. Deleting those apps was so good for me!
Coral Island is back on The Gamers' Inn as I explore the post 1.0 launch version of the game. @joceplays.com spends more time with the Steam Deck. In the news, we go over RAM and storage shortages, and PlayStation outlines 2026 plans in the latest State of Play.

It's all always the about Epstein files.

pretty huge spike in atproto firehose during Bad Bunny superbowl half-time show; much larger than overall superbowl coverage.
also more 2x API request rate on bsky services
Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.
It's open for a couple of months.

I truly admire Bruce Fanjoy's desire to remain Poilievre's #1 troll
