TikTok owner ByteDance can choose to be banned in the US, or sell up.

“While GTA lets players experience a fictional underworld of lawless enterprise, the entities behind PlayerAuctions own and operate a real one". So claims a lawyer for GTA 6 and Borderlands publisher Take-Two Interactive in a complaint filed on Tuesday against third-party asset marketplace PlayerAuctions. They accuse PlayerAuctions - who have already faced similar accusations from Roblox - of selling modified player accounts obtained by hacking, via Polygon. (I have no choice but to respect the ...

Today in "news that will get you banished from society if you try to explain it to anyone who doesn't live on the internet," the owner of an erotic Balatro subreddit has had their moderator status revoked from the main subreddit after a brief civil war surrounding AI generated art culminated with developer LocalThunk intervening. Cheers to Garbage Day for the spot. Many threads lie dead and buried in the bloody wake of all this, but the brief rundown is that moderator DrTankHead - who also runs ...

NASA's SPHEREx observatory is now in space for a two year year mission to create a 3D map of the entire celestial sky. The telescope left the ground on top of a Falcon 9 rocket from a launch pad in California, four years after NASA announced that a SpaceX flight will launch the mission, along with NASA's PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) microsatellites. SPHEREx separated from SpaceX's vehicle at 12AM Eastern time on March 12 and will remain in low Earth orbit, where it wil...

The leaks were (mostly) legit!

My first run in Expelled! was a completely miserable affair for our poor protagonist, Verity Amersham, a scholarship student at Miss Mulligatawney’s School for Promising Girls. The entire playthrough took just a few minutes; I was escorted to Miss Mulligatawney’s office, dressed down, and booted out. This was just my first attempt, and I soon...

The arrival of a new Inkle game is always cause for celebration in my books, but I'll admit I was somewhat surprised when Expelled received 'An Overboard Game' as an addendum. Previously known as Miss Mulligatawny's School for Promising Girls, the name change did dampen my excitement for it a bit, because as much as I've enjoyed Inkle's games in the past, Overboard is probably the one I've liked the least. It's got nothing to do with the game's top notch writing or deliciously villainous heroine...

We know that another new DLC is on its way soon, and World’s Edge has just revealed that it’ll introduce five - yes, five - new civilizations. However, before it arrives, there’s a huge new update to come which is billed to be one of the most significant in AoE 2 history.

Rebellion makes big games, but not that big.

Netflix’s Devil May Cry series is less than a month away, and if the new trailer is any indication, it’s certainly set to live up to the spirit of the video games. Netflix released a new trailer Tuesday, which gave us our longest look yet at the series and maybe even a hint at what...

If you were asked to name some of this year’s new games with the highest Steam scores, names like Split Fiction and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will probably spring to mind. However, unless you played the original or you're a big Metroidvania fan, you’ll probably overlook Ender Magnolia. Sitting on a 95% user rating, it’s an absolute masterpiece, and it’s just got even better thanks to a huge new update that adds a boss rush mode and New Game Plus.

It's been a bit of a busy day in the world of virtual reality, thanks to a flurry of PSVR 2 and PCVR announcements courtesy of the aptly named VR Games Showcase.

In Grimoire Groves you explore an enchanted forest and grow plant creatures in your garden.

The Remote Desktop app for Windows is (almost) dead; long live the Windows app. Microsoft said on Monday that its legacy Remote Desktop client, which has already been replaced on other platforms, will no longer be supported on Windows after May 27, 2025. But you aren't losing any functionality here. You can still do tech support for your parents using built-in Windows functionality or the modern Windows app, which is somehow both the simplest and most confusing naming convention Microsoft's mark...

The Dungeon-themed event was supposed to go live on April 1, but it looks like someone hit the wrong button.

Apple last week introduced new versions of the iPad, iPad Air, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio, with plans to launch the devices on March 12. It's already Wednesday, March 12 in New Zealand and Australia, which means customers who pre-ordered one of Apple's new iPads or Macs have started receiving their devices. Apple's updates focused primarily on introducing more powerful chips, with few other changes. The ‌MacBook Air‌ received an M4 chip and a new Sky Blue color option, while the ‌Mac Studio‌ is...

The trio of NES Mario Bros. games is finally complete!

Destiny 2 has experienced some pretty wild and problematic technical hiccups in recent months, but with Heresy Act 2 going live, Bungie has just made an unbelievable blunder. Slated to launch in a few weeks’ time with the start of Act 3, Destiny 2’s Rite of the Nine event has somehow gone live early, allowing people to start playing its tweaked fan-favorite dungeons and even unlock the new reprised weapons.

iRobot just announced some new Roomba vacuums and they feature interesting capabilities. The Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo Robot is being advertised as "the industry's first onboard mechanical debris-compacting system." In other words, it squeezes dust and debris together like, well, a garbage compactor. This allows users to go eight weeks without having to empty the vacuum. It also eliminates the need for a dedicated debris bin.  Otherwise, the 205 is a full-featured hybrid vacuum/mop. There’s...

First introduced in Monster Hunter 4, the flagship monster is as deadly as ever, making use of its aggressive nature to inflict the challenging Frenzy state. Whether or not you’ve fought the creature in the past, there’s a lot to keep in mind...

Jin Dahaad is one of the biggest creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds, and possibly the most complicated fight of them all. The monster covers its body in ridges, which need to be broken before you can start dealing serious damage. This is, as expected, easier said than done. If you’re scratching your head over this...
