NIMBY
By Joonatan Itkonen

THE HISTORY OF SWEAR WORDS is a funny, if slight, exploration of what swearing means to us. Netflix just needs to dig deeper into this shit.

CYBERPUNK 2077 REVIEW
CYBERPUNK 2077 REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️ CYBERPUNK 2077 is an ambitious, but tone-deaf and politically muddled attempt to bring the dystopian RPG to life. Riddled with bugs and an incoherent narrative, it simply isn't finished yet.
