NASA has demonstrated a successful transmission of a high-definition video from a probe over 30 million kilometres away in space. Instead of using the traditional method of radio waves, the system onboard asteroid-probe Psyche utilises a powerful near-infrared laser beam. Rather than showing us the unnerving splendour of the empty void, engineers chose a 15-second…
The port will be available “soon”. The critically acclaimed indie platformer Spelunky is getting a promising new fanmade port for the Commodore 64, and it looks like we won’t have to wait too long to get our hands on it.

Less than a week ago, AMD released the full source code for its FSR 3 generation technology, and one of the first mods to utilise it has been released. This one is a bit special, though, as it can be used to replace DLSS 3 Frame Generation in any game that uses Nvidia’s system. It’s…

In a further thread, JoCat lays out a timeline following the wake of his I Like Girls video—a…
Double, double, toil and trouble…. Looking as if it’s been torn straight out of an alchemist’s journal, Potion Craft is a gorgeous simulation game that’s sure to appeal to the mystically inclined, although — oddly — it feels like a bad fit on Switch. Arriving on Nintendo’s console one year after its PC and Xbox…
