Evening Reading - February 3, 2026

It's nighttime in America, which means time for another edition of Evening Reading.

Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday. That means it’s ol’ TJ up to bat, having just come off of a really fun Indie-licious. If you haven’t been watching, I played Viscera Alien today and it was a blast of a cheap little Suika Game riff. We have plenty of fun going on elsewhere as well, so be sure to stay tuned to the site for all sorts of awesome content. For today, it’s time to wrap it up with another Evening Reading. Enjoy!
