Four years ago, we declared that ingenious puzzle designer Zach Gage’s Knotwords might dethrone Wordle as our favorite daily word puzzle game. Well, here I am making the same claim again in 2026: Gage and his collaborators at the puzzle site Puzzmo have a new game out today, called Ribbit. Ribbit has something Wordle is…
Reuters reports that Microsoft has agreed to a $250 million settlement in a lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund Sjunde AP-Fonden over allegations that, simply put, Activision sold out too quickly and too cheaply when it was acquired by Microsoft. Microsoft dropped $69 billion on Activision Blizzard in the 2022 deal, a nice, hefty sum…
Have you ever wanted to see a grown-ass man complaining to the EU parliament about having to play as a Black man or queer person in a videogame? If your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ then allow me to invite you to enjoy this video of the European Parliament’s recent debate on Stop Killing…
Last June, as a 2002 New York magazine feature had reemerged in which an 11-year-old Zohran Mamdani said he was hoping to receive FIFA 2003 and SimCity 3000 as holiday gifts, I posed a tantalizing question: If then-mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani had been a preteen SimCity sicko, did that mean he could become New York…

Welcome to the Party, Pal! is the most frustrating challenge to kick off Series 1 of the Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6. It’s the first daily challenge, so at least you’ve got up to a week to beat it, and you might need it, since you’ve got to finish round three of a Horizon…
Ever since clapping my eyes upon the sea shell ereader prop in 2014 horror flick It Follows, I’ve had an unhealthy obsession with itty bitty e-paper projects. Today, I’ve spotted an even smaller ereader build that also boasts functionality akin to a magic 8-ball. When shaken, the EFortune Cookie by gokux will display one of…
If you own a Lenovo PC, it turns out you’re far from alone. The company has announced its Q4 and full year financial results over 2025/26, and in among the celebrations over the “strongest year in the group’s history” is a fun fact—its global PC market share topped out at 24.4%, which means it retains…
To PvP or to PvE? This is a question that’s plagued Arc Raiders ever since its launch, with players split between their love for banding together and killing arcs, as opposed to their love for tearing each other limb from limb and taking the scrap to trade for more scrap—it’s a tough choice.

My least favourite challenge in Forza Horizon 6 right now is by far the Floor It! task, which requires you to earn three Great Speed Skills in Horizon Racing. There’s a similar challenge in the Gazoo Racer weekly challenge, where you need to earn six Speed Skills in the 2022 Toyota GR86. As annoying as…
