In macOS, a Text Clipping is a selection of text that you've dragged from an application to another location on your Mac, where it becomes a unique kind of standalone file. The relatively little-known feature has been around since at least Mac OS 9, and it offers a convenient way to save out pieces of text from pretty much anywhere for later use in another app or document. To create a Text Clipping, simply highlight any piece of text, then hold left-click and drag it with your mouse to your Desk...

The upcoming reboot for Fable, the fantasy role-playing game of British chortles 'n' chuckles, has been delayed until next year, says head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan. Developers Playground Games need "more time" to create the world of Albion, it turns out, but Xbox has offered a sparse sprinking of of game footage as compensation for the delay. There's nothing particularly mind-blowing among it. Some combat, some vistas. But it's something.

Survivor-like bullet heavens are are all the rage right now from Vampire Survivors to Brotato and everything in between. Maze Mice answers the question no one asked: what if it was like Pac-Man?

It's no secret that stock of the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is hard to find, but as revealed by Overclockers in the UK, it could take up to 16 weeks for customers to receive a card they have already pre-ordered. You can read our RTX 5090 review to find out why this is the best graphics card that money can buy for 4K gaming. However, Nvidia has struggled to keep any of its new gaming GPUs in stock, and this has also caused prices to skyrocket around the world. Overclockers' openness with its lea...

I knew going in to Promise Mascot Agency's Steam Next Fest demo that there was a high probability it would be absolutely my bag. Made by the same developers behind the excellent Paradise Killer, this is a game about a disgraced yakuza (voiced by none other than the same actor behind Yakuza/Like A Dragon's very own Kazuma Kiryu) who gets banished to a run-down, forgotten town out in the countryside during Japan's Showa Era, and is tasked with reviving the local mascot agency business to help win ...

The next booster pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket has leaked.

Framework continue doing some really impressive stuff with their modular approach to hardware, and they just had a big event to reveal the Framework Desktop, Framework Laptop 12 and an upgraded Framework Laptop 13.

I can't be certain, but the music for Castle V Castle sounds very much like it was made on an old Roland TR-808 drum machine or equivalent plug-in. Your ears will be familiar with the 808 even if your brain isn't - it's about as ubiquitous in hip hop as the Amen break. That's actually quite fitting, because this minimalist strategy game has the rhythms of a call-and-response rap battle. That's something you could say for all I-go-you-gos to an extent, but the bellicose back and forth here is esp...

There's a lot of different stands and protective cases for the Steam Deck, all with their own unique selling point and the Steam Deck Folio looks like another interesting option.

In first-person stealth game Skin Deep you are a "deep freeze insurance commando" who gets defrosted whenever pirates board the space vessel you're aboard. The ships you work are crewed by talking house cats with big personalities and a poor track record in information security. It's your job, when things go wrong, to save them from their captors. We've seen a couple of trailers for this sci-fi Die Hard homage before but now we have a full demo to blast through, in which you can throw fishbones ...

Warner Bros are closing three video game development studios as they seek "to get back to a 'fewer but bigger franchises' strategy", according to a leaked staff memo from Warner Bros head of games and streaming JB Perrette. The three studios in question are MultiVersus developer Player First Games, free-to-play specialists Warner Bros Games San Diego, and Monolith, the 30-year-old studio behind No One Lives Forever, F.E.A.R., Condemned: Criminal Origins, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and a tro...

It's the GBA action-platformer Ninja Five-O (also known as Ninja Cop). This Switch version was originally announced last month and you can download the title right now for USD $24.99 / GBP £19.99 (or your regional equivalent). Physical copies were also announced, but have already sold out.

"It's good to have our games reach more places". Xbox has shifted to a new strategy where it's now bringing more first-party IP to other platforms including Nintendo's devices. We've already heard from Phil Spencer how the plan is to support the 'Switch 2' when it arrives, and now Xbox Game Studios' head Craig Duncan has elaborated on the company's "multiplatform" approach going forward.

"Due to rising prices for repair parts". The Switch 2 is almost here, but Nintendo is still showing support for the original hybrid system in all sorts of ways. This includes repairs, but today it's provided an update about the prices of this service in Japan. As highlighted by OatmealDome on social media, Nintendo has announced it will be increasing the price of Switch repairs due to the rising costs of spare parts. This adjustment will kick in towards the end of next month on 26th March 2025 a...

The new Wonder Woman project has also been axed. The video game industry has already experienced a lot of layoffs this year and now Warner Bros. has announced it's shutting down three studios. This includes Player First - the team behind the Smash-like brawler MultiVersus, which also announced the end of its service earlier this month and will go offline in May 2025. Apart from this, WB San Diego is also closing its doors. This team supposedly had an exciting new AAA free-to-play in the works.

Ryu Ga Gotoku releases banger after banger, and as their games get more popular, they continue to get weirder.

March is going to be an exciting month. Nintendo is gearing up for a massive year with the upcoming 'Switch 2 Direct broadcast' but as we keep saying here on Nintendo Life, it's not done with its original hybrid system just yet. It seems we'll be getting a solid list of offerings throughout 2025 and if you are wondering what's ahead in March, Nintendo has now reminded us about four exciting titles on the way. First up we have the return of Carmen Sandiego - releasing on the 4th March 2025. The s...

All the way back in the original Sims, your suburban paradise could be threatened by a thief. Bedecked in white and black stripes, the thief even had their own theme song that would play as they snuck around your property looking for valuables. Burglars reappeared in the Sims 2 and 3, but have never been a part of The Sims 4 - until now. With the rollout of its latest free update, you can finally get robbed in The Sims 4.

If your Sims 4 nights have been lacking a certain criminal frisson for the last 11 years, things are about to get a whole lot more exciting. Over a decade after its release, The Sims 4 has finally added the series' iconic burglar as part of its latest free update.

Microsoft announced that it is making some features available for free in its Copilot AI assistant. Everyone now has unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper, which is powered by OpenAI’s o1 model. Copilot got the Voice feature, which allows users to have conversations with the AI assistant, in October 2024. Think Deeper is intended to parse complicated queries, such as assessing the pros and cons of major home purchases, taking cost and long-term value into account. "We are working hard to sc...

A bizarre bug is causing iPhones to automatically change the word “racist” to “Trump” when using the built-in dictation feature in iOS. The issue, which seems to have been discovered by TikTok users, crops up when using the voice-to-text feature in Apple apps like Messages. When speaking the word “racist,” iOS briefly transcribes the text as “Trump” before changing it back to the intended word. It’s not clear what could cause this behavior. Engadget was able to replicate the issue, as you can se...

In 2023, Matt Poitras joined the Boston Bruins on a three-year contract after being drafted by the organization in the second round. At the age of 19, Poitras had immediate impact, earning his first point on an assist in his first-ever National Hockey League game. But his rookie season was cut short by shoulder surgery...

If you are anything like me, you wish far more games would learn lessons from Silent Hill and Resident Evil. These classics still hold up, not just as tightly constructed video games, but as major works of art in their own right. Silent Hill 2’s descent into purgatory is unforgettable and Resident Evil’s mansion is still one of the most satisfying and intricate puzzles in gaming. Luckily, retro survival horror is in the middle of a major revival. Upcoming game Heartworm looks to expand the still...

All for a good cause, though.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is one of my favorite games of the year, so you'll forgive me if I spend the next 300 words or so writing about a limited-edition plush the game's creator, Gareth Damian Martin, is producing with the help of crowdfunding platform Makeship. Starting today, you can pledge $30 to support Martin's campaign, and if enough other people do as well, everyone will get a cute cat plush sometime later this year. The toy was designed by French illustrator Guillaume Singeli...

The Federal Aviation Agency has started testing Starlink terminals for upgrades to the networks that manage airspace, creating the latest conflict of interest between the US government and Elon Musk. The FAA posted (fittingly on the social network Musk also owns) that it is testing a Starlink terminal in Atlantic City, NJ, and two terminals in Alaska. The post claims that the department had been considering using the SpaceX tech since the prior presidential administration. The agency, which over...

Plenty of games have taken inspiration from the mystical martial arts prowess of Wuxia films, from the Monk class in World of Warcraft to Final Fantasy XIV’s lavish costumes and environments. However, the 2012 MMORPG Blade and Soul pushed to directly translate the genre’s grandeur to videogame form. Despite a tie-in anime and a sequel, the MMORPG has been dormant for many years, but it just got a revitalization. The shiny new remake, Blade and Soul Neo, has arrived and you can play it right now.

The Pathologic 3 prologue is set to launch in March.

What if Wikipedia was a place you could visit? That’s the idea behind The Museum of All Things, a free and open-source procedurally-generated museum built on Wikipedia’s vast knowledge base.

Listen, I love the ROG Ally X, but its 1 TB of built-in storage barely puts a dent in my Steam Library. I know I could use a microSD card for some extra space, but the sub-optimal transfer speeds means downloading anything takes forever, and I don’t have that kind of time. Thankfully, there’s an...

Fans have wondered what HBO’s new Harry Potter TV show will be like since the moment it was announced in 2023: What would a long(er)-form retelling of the classic book series look like? Could the show get out from underneath the shadow of writer J.K. Rowling’s gender politics? Do we need to see Hogwarts again,...

The new way is faster, but I'd happily go back to having a personal chef.
