We’ve all had frustrating experiences in multiplayer games. Heck, it’s not that unusual for the worst of them to upset you in real life for a brief spell, and perhaps inspire some intemperate messages or uncivil voice chat. But for one Diablo 2 player, KrimzontheRed, the insult dealt by a bunch of gankers in the…
Alan Wake 2 certainly isn’t afraid to be weird, whether it’s letting you change the layout of a level at the press of a button, or suddenly turning into a full-blown musical.

Miklos Daniel Brody, a cloud engineer formerly employed at a bank, has been sentenced to two years in prison for “a network intrusion and for making false statements to a government agency” following a secret service investigation. Seemingly angered by his employer taking disciplinary action against him, Brody kept his work laptop under false pretences…
While accessibility options in games are by no means perfect—and often at the whim of a studio’s budget or predisposition—they’ve certainly improved. However, one particular niche I inhabit is all over the damn shop: color blind settings. Baldur’s Gate 3’s fourth patch introduced some, and for me? They didn’t really help. But first, I’m going…
