After its successful launch in December, Infinity Nikki has finally made its way to Steam. However, the gacha game has quickly been branded with “mixed” reviews after players reported a plethora of issues when launching the game, including multiple crashes and the inability to load into a server. These issues come as a result of…
Elden Ring has reached yet another massively impressive milestone, with 30 million copies sold after just over three years. It’s an impressive feat and one that FromSoftware is celebrating a month before its next game, Elden Ring Nightreign, releases. “Dearest Tarnished, we are profoundly thankful for your lasting devotion,” FromSoftware says in a social media…
I recently interrupted a colleague mid-flow on an old Razer Huntsman to ask why they enjoy clacky keyboards so much. In response, they offered me an impassioned speech about mechanical keyboards, concluding with the words “God, I wish it had a lever, you know? Something I could pull at the end of every line —…
While I personally do love a mechanical keyboard that offers a hearty clack on every keypress, those I share my living space with aren’t quite as into the rhythm of my percussive typing. If you’re anything like me, chances are you’d like to cap off a long, hard day of looking at the bad screen…

This time it appears that it’s the turn of the Atari ST to get its own version of Doom, with the developer Jonas “Indyjo” Eschenburg flexing their porting skills to try to get the ID Software’s iconic first-person…
Decompilation project is around 80% complete. While emulation is commonplace these days, we’re seeing an exciting new trend emerge: decompilation. This process allows the homebrew community to recompile native (not emulated) PC versions of classic games, and we’ve seen the likes of Star Fox, Super Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time benefit so far….
