PC Gamer’s Morgan Park treated us to a story last week about the downsides of a life of crime in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—specifically, a very conspicuous brand that did not improve his standing with the local folk. He was also warned that if he continued behaving like a jerk, he could end up being…
First reported by Ars Technica, the “big cheese” of online search appears to have really curdled things, and in the heart of America’s dairyland, no less. An ad for Google’s Gemini AI that played in Wisconsin during the Super Bowl was first shown online last week with a “hallucination”—that is to say, a bald-faced lie—visible…
It may have felt like you’ve been waiting for ages, but the long wait is almost over: Civilization VII comes ashore on February 11, and the developers over at Firaxis Games have a lot in store for long-time fans and new players alike.

I’m a member of way more Discord servers than I actually engage with, and I can only put so much blame on my pathologically narrow attention span. I’d be frequenting a few more communities were it not for something I’m sure we’ve all experienced: having to share spaces with somebody whose vibes are frequently, y’know,…

And if you think that means he’s ready to commit to a PC version…
In a recent Bloomberg interview with Balatro creator LocalThunk, the notably private, anonymous developer opened up a little bit about the roguelike card game’s origins, including how he first realized he was on to something special with what had started as just another hobby project. LocalThunk worked in IT before making Balatro, and was apparently…
Rainbow Six: Siege esports team M80’s head coach, Matheus ‘Budega’ Figueiredo, and team manager, Igor ‘Vivas‘ Vivas, have been “ejected” from the 2025 Six Invitational by Ubisoft, following an “altercation” that was partly caught on camera. The incident occurred after M80 had lost a match 2-1 to DarkZero Esports, and saw Budega shouting at members…
