Around the middle part of 2024, just as a dire political season kicked off in earnest, I realized I needed to change my diet. Not the kind of food I ate, but the kind of news media I consumed and, most importantly, how frequently I consumed it. I badly needed stronger firewalls to keep the...

It's not as risqué as you might think. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on Switch has been rated 12+ by PEGI (Pan European Game Information), just like every other entry in the series. What folks have seemingly noticed, however, is that the new release comes with an added 'sex' warning as part of the overall rating; something that wasn't present on the original Wii U version. Observe the below post from @starfallblossom on social media; they post a comparison of both physical editions ...

A few years ago, the American automaker General Motors (GM) announced that it would be phasing out support for CarPlay and Android Auto in its new electric vehicles, in favor of its own software platform. It was a controversial decision, as many drivers who are in the market for a new vehicle consider CarPlay to be a must-have feature. Looking to capitalize on the situation, one GM dealership near Detroit, Michigan last year began offering an aftermarket CarPlay installation service in GM's newe...

Valve's Steam Deck pushes out impressive frame-rates in a wide range of software - up to and including a range of current generation exclusives. A broad array of demanding games are at least playable on the portable and many cross-gen or last-gen games excel. However, the steady drumbeat of progress gets pounded every day and we're seeing an increasing number of games that truly push current-gen consoles - and mainstream PC systems - hard. It stands to reason that if desktop computers are strugg...

I like Signalis. Hollowbody and Crow Country are both solid variations on the survival horror theme. Even on the occasions that I found it frustrating, it was hard to put down Conscript. But if we’re making a direct comparison to old-school Resident Evil - if we’re talking about games that could actually pass for a canceled RE that’s somehow been brought back to life - Phase Zero is without a doubt the most authentic I’ve ever seen. Resident Evil 9 might still be happening, or maybe a remake of ...
