I’m a big fan of both weird cool tech and environmental conservation. These might sound like opposing ideas, but we deeply need more of both, especially if they’re working together. In one of my favourite examples this week, a UK startup is working to make plastic eating enzymes to help deal with fast fashion. TechCrunch…
This week we saw the United States government implement hikes to tech tariffs that are already having flow on effects to the greater industry, including some big players from Japan. The tariffs are set to target products built in lower cost countries like China and Mexico that are then sold in the United States. According…
Wearables have been trying to thread a particularly tricky needle as of late. Though funky chunky hardware will always have its appeal, you ideally want kit that sits on your body to be both reasonably powerful and lightweight. Some smart glasses bulk up their frames in order to stash impressive lenses alongside computational power, while…
“This is not what we were expecting”. Over the years, Nintendo has put out some truly weird adverts for its consoles and games, including the wonderful SNES collaboration with the late, great Rik Mayall, and the bizarre sing-a-long commercial used for Super Mario Sunshine. Many of them pale in comparison to the NES Legend of…
Say hello to the MagicX Zero 40. Emulating systems like the Game Boy Advance, SNES and Mega Drive / Genesis is pretty straightforward these days, but the Nintendo DS is a slightly trickier proposition, thanks to its dual display format and touchscreen capabilities. We have the AYANEO Flip DS, but that powerful handheld PC is…
Monster Hunter Wilds has barely been out for a week and already it’s dominating the PC gaming world. The newest in the beloved series continues the fine tradition of grinding beautiful and fearsome creatures down into weapons and armour in order to fight even bigger creatures, ad infinitum. Of course, that’s if your PC can…
“I need a bigger gun”. We thought that last week’s reveal of the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition ‘Don’t Worry’ remix might be the only peek we’d get at the upcoming remaster’s soundtrack, but we were wrong! Nintendo UK is back with another track, and it’s another banger. This time, it’s the battle theme ‘Black…
“There’s more to being a good person than just having a stereo television”. No matter how much you think you know about video games, there’s always information out there you’re not aware of—and today is one of those days for us here at Time Extension. Thanks to a social media post by iFixRetro, we’re now…
Now back to farming. In case you missed it, Stardew Valley‘s most recent update (Version 1.6.15.1) included an error on the Switch. While the game was “mostly playable, there were some issues like “crashes”, text problems and some other issues. Fortunately, the game’s creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has been working to resolve this issue and…
A new wave of NSO icons are also available. It’s the month of March and for Xenoblade fans it means the return of Monolith Soft’s Wii U game Xenoblade Chronicles X. Of course, this new version for Switch is the ‘definitive edition’ and that means updated visuals as well as additional content. As we noted…
