Rock Paper Shotgun’s newest Sunday Papers kicks off with a personal moving-day story rather than heavyweight gaming scoops. The piece rails against being drafted to help shift boxes after a relative insisted a bargain flatbed trolley bought from an overseas marketplace would be sufficient — a purchase that promises more hassle than help. As a result, this week’s edition is lighter on videogame coverage and leans into miscellany.

  • Anecdotal opener: the columnist was pressed into helping a family member move, despite worries the £40 trolley would collapse and leave a trail of broken plywood and splinters.
  • Less game news than usual: the roundup favors offbeat reads and short takes over in-depth videogame reporting this week.
  • Reflective tone: the editor argues that not every week — or every game — deserves intense scrutiny, so the selection tilts toward cultural curiosities.
  • Curated reading: if you’re after the full set of links and short essays, the roundup still serves as a tidy, leisurely batch of weekend material.
