Superheroes are a difficult genre to pin down in TTRPGs—game balance is basically impossible when you’re talking comic books, since having a cast of seriously varying power levels is part of the whole appeal.

Nier: Automata creator Yoko Taro says ‘nearly half’ of his autographs ‘being resold are actually fake’, since he puts ‘small unknown features’ in them

I already knew scalpers and the like probably weren’t the most reputable people on the internet—but I’ve just had that assessment re-affirmed, because they’re trying to grift game developer’s autographs now.

The first US-made Nvidia Blackwell wafer just came out of TSMC Arizona, but don’t get carried away thinking about RTX 50 Supers yet

Chip manufacturing moving over to the US might seem like a 2025 phenomenon, thanks to the Trump administration’s very vocal pushing towards this goal, but TSMC, the world’s biggest computer chip manufacturer, approved production of its Arizona plant back in 2020. The US-based fabrication plant (fab) started churning out wafers last year, and it has…
