You can see it coming a million light years away: A game developer announces something that its players are obviously going to be infuriated by, and then a week or two later posts a black jpg with white text that says, one way or another, 'Oops! Our bad.'
Twitch has issued new «clarifications» to its sexual harassment policy in a bid to make it easier to understand, released alongside an update to its AutoMod moderation tools designed to let streamers curb inappropriate messages in chat.
Earlier this week players of Nexon's new looter-shooter The First Descendant made a wonderful discovery: The game has its own Destiny-style loot cave. Soon christened «the Valby Run», this area features mobs that respawn infinitely and at a high rate, which can be farmed endlessly for oodles of the game's currencies and gear. And the big surprise was that the developers didn't seem all that bothered, and indeed said they were going to lean-in and basically make other areas more like the Valby Run.
I have a Fractal Design case and I have a Raspberry Pi. I love them both. I was therefore flummoxed when I discovered people have been making mini versions of the Fractal Design North case for their Raspberry Pi without me knowing about it.

And lo on the 23rd day of the seventh month of the year of our Zuck, verily did Meta release a new open source AI model, all 405 billion parameter's worth. Known as Llama 3.1, it is apparently the largest such open source model yet and so Meta's main man Mark Zuckerberg has taken to various YouTube channels to promote its technological and social munificence. Oh, and to speculate on a future of AI that's predictably icky, plus complain about his competitors, mainly Apple.
Every time I think I've mentally adjusted to Magic: The Gathering's crossovers, a new one comes along and further discombobulates me. Hatsune Miku and King Arthur from Monty Python and the Holy Grail will soon be able to share the same deck in the same TCG. What a time to be alive.
Recently the International Olympic Committee joined up with the National Olympic Committee of Saudi Arabia to announce the first-ever Olympic Esports Games, set to be held in 2025. Now it's been made official, following a unanimous vote in favour by the IOC's executive board: a bit like that meme where Obama's giving himself a medal.
The most powerful weapon in Agent 47's armoury isn't in his armoury at all. It's adjacent to it: just down the hall and off to the side, where you will find the tool that's dispatched more scoundrels than any other: The toilet.
