The most volatile part of A Minecraft Movie was always going to be community reception. Despite being around since 2009 and still retaining its aging playerbase, Mojang has also managed to keep the game incredibly relevant among younger players. It’s for this reason that finding the target audience for A Minecraft Movie was always going…
Some of my favourite films discuss the idea of how important it is to hold onto the spark of creativity and passion as we get older; the fact that no matter how much the world weighs you down, getting back up and pursuing your passions is an inextricable human trait. While I wasn’t expecting A…
I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to work on the set of A Minecraft Movie, surrounded by incredible sets, Minecraft memorabilia, and, of course, getting to watch Jack Black as he mined mountains of lapis lazuli. But it turns out that the best part was just how creative and enthusiastic…
“It’s harder to create than to destroy. That’s why cowards tend to choose the deuce.” You may be wondering where this quote is from. Could it be Aristotle, or maybe Friedrich Nietzsche penned it in The Birth of Tragedy? It’s certainly thought-provoking enough to be mistaken for the work of any notable philosopher. Need To…
Survival MMO Dune: Awakening releases next month on May 20, and Funcom is churning out information about it faster than a sandworm poops out spice. (Wait, is spice just sandworm poop? It must be, right? Gross.) In a recent livestream, members of the Dune: Awakening team answered questions from chat, and interestingly one of those…
It’s been quite a ride for Baldur’s Village, the big Stardew Valley mod that brings Baldur’s Gate 3 characters and content to the world’s most popular life sim. It launched in early March and everyone loved it including Larian boss Swen Vincke, but then whoops, Wizards of the Coast clobbered it with a DMCA takedown…

It is also, now, the best part of a decade old, and there’s no sign of anything like it on the horizon, especially with Paradox cutting Harebrained loose in 2023. But…
I didn’t realise a criminal empire would lead to so many early mornings. Yet, here I am, waking up at 7 am every morning and skateboarding around my regulars, making sure they’ve got enough stuff to get them through the day. The cash from the morning’s take goes to a hole in a wall, and…
White PC cases are very common these days but finding hardware to color-match with them can be tricky. Thankfully, there’s a growing number of motherboards and graphics cards to choose from when it comes to creating a clean, white PC and the ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wi-Fi is one of the cheapest options out there…
If you’re looking to build a Mini-ITX PC using one of AMD’s Ryzen 7000- or 9000-series CPUs then there’s quite a range of Mini-ITX motherboards to choose from, bolstered relatively recently by the launch of the B850 chipset that mostly brings lower price points than X870 and X870E. One of these is the ASRock Phantom…
