    Whipped Monday

    Every Easter Monday (one day after Easter), the sickle is replaced by a pomlázka - a braided willow whip used in a tradition where men whip women to ensure their health and beauty, in exchange for a painted egg or a shot of booze. It’s weirdly charming... and slightly terrifying.

    HROT review: serviceable Soviet shooter saved by scintillating level design

    "Does that pommel horse have a grenade launcher?" is one of many bizarre questions I found myself asking while playing HROT . This Slavic shooter revels in the strange, straddling the line between hyper-bleak Soviet satire and goofy memetic joke factory. This isn't the best thing
