It’s a given that the question “What’s the oldest computer you can run modern Linux on?” would produce a more gratifying answer than “What’s the oldest computer you can run modern Windows on?” given Windows 11’s draconian hardware requirements. But I have to say I had no idea the answer to the former question dated…
As the saying goes, records were made to be broken—and that’s especially true if you invent a bunch of records just so you can say they’ve been broken. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie came out last week and, despite it kinda sucking, predictably had a monster of a weekend at the box office. But after…
Hot on the heels of fan-made PC port Jak 3, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will soon have a playable PC release of its own. As with previous ports of Nintendo classics like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64, the Twilight Princess port is based on a decompilation of…
Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn creator Lucas Pope spoke about what he’s working on next—and why we’re not hearing about it more—on the latest episode of Mike & Rami Are Still Here, the podcast of Nuclear throne developer Rami Ismail and No More Robots founder Mike Rose.

For nine years I had the world’s sweetest Swiss Mountain Dog mix, Vega, who never knew a stranger… unless you were a man. He hated men. A line of women could all walk through the door, and he’d happily wiggle and wag for their attention, but a man? On sight woofin’ and barkin’ until they…
Imagine you’re a professional World of Warcraft player trying to be the first in the world to kill the final boss of the newest raid and, after days of attempts, you finally see its health bar hit zero. You begin to cheer, ecstatic that you beat all the other guilds around the world, that you…
Considering it’s emulating one of the most complex consoles ever made, PS3 emulator RPCS3 is remarkably easy to use. On desktop it has a load of helpful tooltips explaining the basic, recommended settings, with lots of graphical settings and checkboxes for the tinkering-inclined to play with if they so choose. The controller-friendly “big picture” experience…
In a sublime example of the internet’s “I made this” effect, an Italian TV channel temporarily took down Nvidia’s March 16 video “Announcing Nvidia DLSS 5” via copyright strike, claiming the content as its own. As reported by NikTek on X.com, the DLSS 5 reveal trailer was unavailable in Italy for more than 24 hours,…

The ill-fated Highguard‘s dwindling player count was almost treated like a spectator sport, and you’d think some people are willing Marathon to fail the way they obsess over its concurrents. Among all this, it’s edifying to discuss…
