During the Game Developer’s Conference 2025, Monica Harrington—one of Valve’s founders and its first chief marketing officer, who once outright threatened Sierra over the rights to Half-Life—gave an illuminating talk on the company’s infancy.

Noctua founder, Roland Mossig, showed off the prototype of its pumpless thermosiphon cooling unit in Japan this weekend, and according to Japanese tech outlet Hermitage…

I have something to admit to you, dear reader—I came late to the Silksong cope party. I’ve been writing for our illustrious website for almost two years now, but before then, I pretty much tucked it in the back of my mind. I liked Hollow Knight, I just had other games to play and get…
