I’ve gone through the same wash countless times over my life, gaining and losing weight, giving up and trying again and again. It’s only over the past few years that I’ve managed to keep my fitness goals relatively stable, and I’ve still got a lot to learn. Having said that, over the years of using, testing,…

Pragmata captured my attention way back in *checks notes* 2020 (wow). I finally played Pragmata earlier this year at Gamescom and walked away both thoroughly impressed and annoyed with Capcom for making my demo only 20 minutes long.
