    First time reading RPS? They’re what’s left of a humor blog after all the actual humorists left. It’s nothing but awkward attempts at randomness and making constant references to the time when they were still good.

    It sucks, because 15-20 years ago they were one of the best sites to follow for PC gaming. Now they’re a hollow shell of their former self that thinks being “quirky” and filling their posts with impenetrable in-jokes is a substitute for good writing.

      I fucking hate RPS. They have some of the absolute worst headlines too, and have a weird aversion to actually saying what game they’re writing about in said headline.

        That’s clickbait. They think leaving out info will get more people to open the article.
