Last week saw a fairly typical mini-cycle of bad reporting: an anonymous internet account posted a claim that Steam had been hacked and over 89 million passwords were compromised. The data breach was widely reported, and outlets advised users to do the usual: password changes, enable 2FA, etcetera. Except… it turned out the breach never…
There are 21 Oblivion Remastered skills divided into three distinct categories: Combat, Magic, and Stealth.

Not least because it’s currently showing off a titanium RTX 5090 that feels like it’ll last until the end of time, among many other weird and wonderful delights….
A new episode of Netflix’s Love, Death and Robots is based on a short story written back in the 80s by former Valve writer and now professional retiree Marc Laidlaw.
