S.E.E.S. the day. If you’ve yet to play any version of Persona 3, then its darker tones and subject matter might come as a bit of a shock. The opening scene shows supporting character Yukari Takeba sitting alone with a gun pointed at her own head, working up the courage to pull the trigger. Even…
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. However, Masks—one of my favourite systems—nails it completely, and it’s also in Humble’s new RPG Bundle. This (up to) 27-item bundle…
“I’ve always admired bees, so I thought I’d build something that not only looks like a hive, but actually simulates one.” So says YouTube channel Full Stack Woodworking, which set out to build a desk that simulates a bee hive. A simple enough concept, but let’s just say this one spiralled a bit. And then…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Tamriel Rebuilt is one of the most impressive mod projects of all time. Its quest is to build every part of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind’s titular province that Bethesda didn’t get to, and it’s been doing that for literal decades. Earlier this year it released…
And they’ve both just landed on modern consoles. The publisher PixelHeart and developer Picorinne Soft have partnered up this month to release a promising pair of Gradius-inspired shoot ’em ups across Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, and Xbox consoles. Infinos & Infinos 2 are two titles that were originally launched on Windows PCs during…
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. That’s per a post by Yoko Taro, director of the Nier games, to X. Taro was shown an image of a signed copy of…
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…
I have come to commend what I can only describe as 8BitDo’s commitment to the bit. From the 8BitDo Retro keyboard and the Pro 3 gamepad, to the R8 gaming mouse sat under my palm, they all have a distinguished and unique look, but they’re so much more than a retro facade slapped on top…
