If The Alters Had a Wardrobe Mod, It’d Look Like ZA/UM Atelier in Paris
ZA/UM Atelier just crash-landed at Paris Fashion Week with The Alters collection – a cyber-survivalist line fusing gaming weirdness, Gorpcore outerwear and glitch-pattern kimonos. It’s clothing built for alternate timelines, dystopian cities and looting your future self’s wardrobe. A sharp, worldbuilding collision of high fashion and speculative identity play.

Tumblr’s Princess of Pop: MARINA Returns
MARINA’s Princess of Pop sparkles with nostalgic synths and playful hyperfemininity. It’s a vibrant, sometimes cheesy, love letter to Tumblr-era melodrama, blending honeyed vocals with neon-bright metaphors. Not perfect, but utterly her — a bold, unapologetic celebration of pop’s glittery, chaotic heart.
Infinity Nikki is Falling Apart at the Seams
What was meant to be Infinity Nikki’s redemption update turned into its biggest disaster yet. From crashing servers to a fandom at war, the long-awaited 1.5 patch exposed deeper cracks in the game’s foundation — and now, both players and developers are scrambling to save what’s left.
Fancy That: PinkPantheress Quietly Reigns
PinkPantheress keeps her distance on Fancy That, a 9-track rush of confessional lyrics, glitchy beats and deadpan delivery. It’s short, self-aware, and strangely addictive—less a big pop statement than a late-night scroll through old feelings. Even in a tiara, she’s not oversharing. And that’s what makes it hit harder.
Mudborne is the Anti-Chore Cosy
In a gaming landscape overrun by pastel to-do lists, Mudborne croaks back with surreal swamp logic, frog genetics, and cosmic pond gods. It’s cosy with edge, structured without stress — a tender, muddy rebirth for players burnt out by the genre’s grind. Finally, a cosy that doesn’t condescend.

Mario Kart’s Women Are Finally Taking the Lead
Mario Kart World marks a bold step forward in embracing female characters, with expanded rosters, customisation, and stunning new skins. While the game celebrates diversity, there’s still room for growth, particularly with underappreciated characters like Birdo.
Fantage: A Glittering Digital Ghost Town
Ah, Fantage—a flashback to the days when the internet felt like a freshly discovered galaxy. Imagine it: 2008, an era where the internet was less algorithmic and more anarchic, where the hottest trend wasn’t about who had the most followers, but who had the most neon-clad avatar in an online game designed for kids. Fantage was the digital utopia for the tweenage crowd, a place where your biggest dilemma was whether to splurge your hard-earned Stars on a new virtual outfit or save up for a more exclusive hairdo. It was a pixelated paradise, until it wasn’t.

Mum’s Letters in Animal Crossing
In the world of Animal Crossing, the letters from Mum (or Mom) have evolved into something of a cult artefact, a weird blend of digital nostalgia and a reminder of that soft, maternal nudge from a simpler time. They’re these peculiar little notes you receive as you toil away, pulling weeds and catching bugs on your quaint little island. Mum’s letters are equal parts endearing and slightly offbeat—a perfect encapsulation of the game’s charm, but with an undertone that makes you question who’s really writing them and why they keep coming.
So… Why Are Trinkets Now Cool?

Whether it’s Sonny Angels, Pokémon cards, or even vintage annuals, there’s something magnetic about the act of collecting that resonates across generations.
Dave The Diver: Plunging Headfirst into New Worlds
Too scared to play Subnautica, but want to traverse a deep sea environment?

Pact full of incredible animations, dynamic boss battles and quests, Dave The Diver is easily one of the best games I’ve had the pleasure to play this year.
How “Very Mindful, Very Demure” Became the Internet’s Latest Phrase
Because nothing says “I’m totally unbothered” like meticulously curated restraint.
