During Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion a new feature was introduced – Daily Discoveries. Each day of the week would have different events and/or perks (but only happening Sunday through Friday). Already there were longstanding events for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so it was quite the surprise when…

In a move that makes me happy as a primarily PC gamer, Ubisoft has announced that the newest update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 will bring mouse and keyboard support for players. I’m not sure if that means Joy-Con 2 mouse mode is included finally, but if…

Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion is focused on celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary (or, at least leading up to the big day, as the season shall end a month before the game’s actual anniversary). One of this season’s features is Daily Discoveries, where different events and/or perks will…
