Weekend Discussion - July 12, 2026

As Sunday comes to a close, let's reflect on the past two days with Weekend Discussion.

Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Your daily dose of sudoku

The grid looks like a Street Fighter input sequence.

Playing Dark Souls 3 for the first time

I'm loving this series.

New Bismuth doco just dropped!

This bloke is the ultimate historian.

The house is coming along nicely

Fella is going to have an entire village by the time he retires.

Collect everything!

There are so many odd bits and pieces in Dark Souls.

Picross games are neat

Sort of like a sudoku!

Dune: Part Three looks amazing

I can't wait. Dennis has released more Dune movies in a shorter amount of time than some TV series take to film.
