Non-Viklya CLXXXV: Spring Avitaminosis
A collection of authorial posts from the past week. Or perhaps another time since the last issue.
Unlike the once-official almanac Gamer Weekly (from which the name derives), Non-Viklya is created by regular users of the site.
Issue No. 185 (March 13, 2023 - June 4, 2023)
Well, it seems that without nemsik and Doctor, the spring collection turned out to be quite weak. But at least this time we managed not to delay Non-Viklya. It has been about three months since the last one.
Non-Admin
I remind you that we have groups on Steam, VK, and Facebook. I especially recommend the VK group, where I try to publish some news every day.
In general, if anyone has more suggestions regarding the portal and the groups - feel free to voice them. We will discuss everything.
Authorial
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Fights, Dice and Artifacts
Review of the DIGMA DM-MONB2707 Monitor
Three reviews from Textoplet - two gaming and one dedicated to the monitor.
My reviews can also be divided into those dedicated to games (or rather, expansions), hardware (specifically peripherals and gadgets), and the "Sobikon" festival.

Ebon Jaguar. Predatory Mech from the Dark Creators
Summoner. Tor-Summoner from the Jade Falcons
vladforn has brought us a nice surprise in the form of four articles dedicated to mechs from the BattleTech universe.
The review from Simfono, although delayed, draws attention to the main drawbacks (and merits) of the latest Harry Potter game.

I remind you that our portal has a curation group on Steam. Subscribe to it, and then you can write your own review for which there will be a recommendation link.
Of the games mentioned in this Non-Viklya, the following received a positive recommendation: [Cities: Skylines](/games?search=Cities: Skylines), Stellaris, [Tropico 6](/games?search=Tropico 6)
Information recommendations were given to: Ravenswatch, [Clash: Artifacts of Chaos](/games?search=Clash: Artifacts of Chaos)
Awards
The main award of 10GG and 500 experience goes to vladforn. His dossier on the mechs from the BattleTech universe has been a pleasant surprise in filling the portal with interesting materials. The second award of 5GG and 200 experience goes to Textoplet for reviews and news. Everyone else who made it into the authorial category receives 2GG and 100 experience.
Meanwhile, it is getting harder and harder to resurrect the site from the dead...
P.S. If I missed someone’s post, please do not hesitate to point it out.
