If you enjoyed Pentiment, Inkulinati’s cheeky ink-based strategy is a great history lesson
I loved Obsidian’s medieval mystery Pentiment when it released last November, and part of my admiration was for its incredible art style. It was like the dev team had nicked a bunch of 16th-century manuscripts, scanned the delicate pages, and then fully animated them to life.
Pentiment was clearly made by a team who had a deep love for the time period, and the same can be said for Inkulinati, a 2D turn-based strategy game that also uses illuminated medieval drawings. But Yaza Games have taken a bit of a different direction with Inkulinati’s vibe by adding a whole heap of cheeky humour. You wouldn’t think it would suit the stuffy nature of religious manuscripts, but actually those monks were pretty cheeky blokes, and Inkulinati’s humour is done in a way that stays completely loyal to the source material, fart jokes and all.
Persona 3 Portable isn’t only a great JRPG, but a history lesson too
As someone whose only experience with the Persona series lay with Persona 5, I dove into Persona 3 Portable‘s PC re-release with one expectation: it will be old and therefore quite bad. Looking back, was I naïve? Yes. And was I wrong? I’m delighted to report that I was catastrophically wrong.
From what I’ve played so far of Persona 3, I reckon it’s well worth a whirl if you’re a newcomer, or a Persona 5 fan who’s concerned that a game from 2009 won’t be all that good. Not only does it stand on its own as a fun high school mystery with an alarmingly dark undertone, it almost acts as a fun history lesson too.

Steve Martin and Martin Short teach a science lesson in ‘SNL’ skit
In a very special presentation of “Science Classroom,” Saturday Night Live hosts Steve Martin and Martin Short teach a science lesson about snow with the help of junior volunteers Lonnie (Cecily Strong) and Josh (Mikey Day).
Lonnie and Josh aren’t the brightest but they’re trying their best and they’re definitely testing the patience of Martin and Short. If you’ve ever wanted to know the frustration behind being a teacher, well this sketch is for you.
It’s understandable that some might have a hard time answering science questions but even knock-knock jokes are met with baffling responses. Honestly, thinking about this skit has frustrated me more than the hosts. I need a break.
