This piece is essentially a personal anecdote from a gaming journalist stuck mid-kitchen renovation rather than actual gaming news. The author describes abandoning a half-finished redecorating project, complete with terracotta walls and missing cabinet doors, to chase a press trip for work. The writer expresses frustration at not being able to cook a proper meal at home.
The article fails to deliver on its headline promise. "What are we all playing this weekend?" suggests gaming coverage, yet the actual content discusses home improvement disasters instead. Rock Paper Shotgun's typical weekend gaming column apparently took a hard left turn into domestic renovation complaints.
There's no actual gaming discussion here. No new releases covered. No recommendations offered. No industry insight provided. Just one exhausted journalist venting about life getting in the way of both hobbies and professional obligations. If you came for gaming coverage, you got clickbait masquerading as a gaming article. The piece exemplifies what happens when a publication stretches thin on actual content.
