Welcome

Hello everyone, welcome to another issue of the webzine B-side Gaming. It has been a month since the last one, and I have gathered once again lots of content to read. Doing these once a month is much more work than I thought (and the interest in these is a bit low for now), so I think I will be switching to irregular intervals between issues. Maybe even do small ones from time to time, like only news roundups. But for now, let us focus on this one. Since it's a lot of stuff, I will be linking again to my https://write.as/ so I can fit everything. Posting content in the comments that I tried initially last time did not work out well because of the character limit that comments have. Finally, I wanted to ask if there is any interest in having these in a downloadable format. At the moment, I have md files for each issue on my hard drive. There are many apps that can read md files, like the Moon Reader+ on Android. But I could also convert them into PDFs if that is preferred. I would have to check where I can host them, but I think I will find something. Maybe on Itch.io.

Enjoy reading.
