1,465 consecutive days of (mostly) no Silksong news: I spoke to the Sisyphean internet hero that’s kept folks informed, every 24 hours, for 4 whole years

(Image credit: Team Cherry) Silksong has rapidly outpaced Elden Ring in terms of the amount of copium—a fun little portmanteau of ‘cope’ and ‘opium’—its fanbase has had to generate to keep its heart pumping after six whole years.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has now banned 136,000 accounts as part of the ongoing struggle to ensure fair play but still says that IP banning isn’t an option

As with any live service competitive shooter, the developers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have their work cut out for them trying to deal with the seemingly never-ending supply of cheaters who keep popping up.

The Silksong hive is buzzing over a dev tweet that sees a chocolate cake, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Imagine Dragons all pointing with red string to the April Switch 2 Nintendo Direct

(Image credit: Team Cherry) I mean this with all the affection in the world—I cannot think of a single gaming community that is as cooked as the Silksong fanbase. “Cooked” as in, stewing in their own juices for so long that said juices have evaporated, leaving behind a shiny braised lump in a scorched pot.
