They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.


But man would a Team Fortress 3 be welcomed. Like running a franchise into the ground, the lack of levity in games nowadays is sorely lacking.



This article is real clickbait.

7%. That’s the gains on AMDs new APU. You’re going from 48 to 51 FPS.

What’s impressive to me is how efficient Valve and AMD got the custom APU that it’s taken this long to catch up. The next generational leap will be worth it, but talk to me when we’re looking at 25-50% gains. Then you’ll be looking at having a real upgrade cycle.

The secret sauce is in the whole package. SteamOS, the controls, and the form factor.


Really enjoyed the demo. 19 CAD is a little steep for what it appears to be though on my end. Looking forward to picking this up on a sale when it’s 50% off.


In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users. Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

For those late to the party, this is a day old already. The drivers have been pulled, pending an update.


To be fair, it seems that AMD is intercepting, modifying, and injecting code. That’s not a false positive, that VAC working as intended.

What’s wild is that AMD didn’t have a conversation with Valve before releasing this. You can’t go messing with someone else’s code, particularly in such a highly competitive game, and not expect to screw some things up for players.


For those curious, the game was released March 11, 2022.

Making the server support just over a year and a half of running the servers before pulling the plug. That’s not something I’d be spending 60USD (which is what it is on sale for today) on.


I had no idea what SHMUP is… so if you’re like me they are SHoot eM Up games. Either bullet hell or isometric shooters.


Good interview. They didn’t let them off the hook, but weren’t pushing an agenda either.

This is going to be a moving target that someone is going to pay big bucks to figure out in court. International laws are not up to speed on what is or isn’t ok here, and the ethical discussion is interesting to watch unfold.


That’s not how this works.

You’re free to create stories, video, of your own video game in the universe. If you chose to make that public domain and give it away for free, then good on you.

Others can create freely in this universe with their own expression, which they could charge for.

Much like how there are movies about Cinderella or Red Riding Hood which are under copyright, but the base story itself is in the public domain and free to use.


F-Zero. Saved you a click.

This is all speculation and dependant on a “reliable leaker” do take it with a huge grain of salt until it’s been announced. It’s been 19 years since the last F-Zero entry.


What I like about this posturing is that the big tech dogs have given up trying to fight the EU. They know that the law makers are serious about enforcing their rules, and the market/fines are too large to ignore.

They’ve moved fully over trying to circumvent the law, or get exemptions. Historically, the EU has not been kind to that either.


You’re going to need to provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing. Taking a screenshot shows the default behavior on my end, opening the regular style sheet.
