 Alain’s picks:

• I’m Going to be the Queen of the Pirates
  A history of Chinese sea piracy leading up to the career of Ching Shih. Sadly there are not enough resources for the whole episode to be about Ching Shih.
• The Legend that Never Was
  A look at the legendary game Polybius.
• It Turns Out Invading Russia is Never a Great Plan
  Charles XII’s war against Peter the Great starts to go south.

  Kate’s picks:

• Project Octopath Traveler (Working Title)
  This RPG for Switch was announced on the recent Nintendo Direct. I love the combined styles of 16-bit with 3D backgrounds. The backgrounds almost look like real miniature sets! Eight stories to go through the world with sounds great and it is cool that each character has a unique ability in how they interact with people they meet along the journey. I love everything, except the title. Go now and play the demo!

 Alain’s picks:

• Otaku Time Capsule
  It only makes sense for Oldtaku no Radio to look at the quintessential old person otaku anime.
• Back to Babylon
  I forgot the Shadow War ended so quickly into the fourth season.
• Making Accessibility Accessible
  It is actually easier to implement accessibility options if you plan them as part of the game from the start.

  Kate’s picks:

• Even More Shades of Magic
  I have recently started reading this delightful fantasy series staring parallel magical Londons by V.E Schwab. So while I’m not finished with the trilogy yet, I’m still thrilled to hear that more stories set in the universe will be forth coming.
• The Future is Here: Nanomachines Repair Your Phone
  OK, not nanomachines but reading this article definitely made me think of them.

Clearly the work of those Studio Giant Ax people:
