It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped last month’s download charts. August continued sports supremacy as Madden NFL 26 led the charge on the charts in the US, while Mafia: The Old Country had success on both the US and EU charts for PS5, and Delta Force dominated the…
In December, Twitch relaxed its rules to allow for “artistic depictions of nudity” in streams—things like “content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’”—as long as it was labelled as containing “sexual themes.” Two days later, following “community concern,” it chickened out and walked the changes back: “Moving forward, depictions of real or fictional…
Medieval duelling simulator Half Sword was a whole hit during last October’s Steam Next Fest.

I’ve dabbled in hand-embroidery, cross stitch, and now crochet to varying levels of success. But there’s one format I am much too intimidated to try: ceramics and…
Infinity Blade for PC As I was browsing Reddit the other day, as I’m wont to do from time to time, I came across a post about something of great interest to me that I knew nothing about. The post discussed the release of a PC port of Infinity Blade II. For the uninitiated, the…
Crafting a Bloodforged Sigil is your first step in attempting the new Abattoir of Zir dungeon in Diablo 4. This seasonal endgame dungeon is supposed to provide some extra challenge to those who’ve already done everything and crave something a little harder. The Abattoir of Zir is basically a post-tier 100 continuation of Nightmare Dungeons,…
