There are plenty of valid critiques of the streaming era. Sure, it’s convenient that you can watch the Stranger Things finale at any time on any screen, but with that convenience comes shorter TV seasons, brutally long waits between those seasons, and a tidal wave of forgettable slop. And one of the biggest issues with streaming can be summed up in two words: Surf Dracula. Meme’d into existence with a 2021 tweet, the term Surf Dracula describes the trend of streaming shows that promise a major moment up front, only to drag out the build-up for an entire season or…

Highguard, the new free-to-play PvP “raid shooter” from Wildlight Entertainment, has barely been out for a day, but it’s already been a wild ride for the new FPS. Though critical reception is already glowing, player response runs the gamut. And arguably toughest of all: It’s become a meme. Currently, its Steam user score is sitting at “mostly negative,” with 32% of nearly 15,000 player reviews giving the game a thumbs-up. Players have complained of long match queue times, getting kicked from the tutorial, and other server issues. More still said the game also performs poorly, with frame rate drops and…
