Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story. What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew. Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?








Obsidian has already made it publicly known that they DID NOT want to make a Fallout game. Microsoft is pointing a gun to their heads and forcing them to do it. Imagine if Larian was forced to make BG4. What's the likelihood that game would've turned out great? I have very little faith that NV2 gives players what they want.




@captive_dreamer @thevivafrei You want lead fragments in your meat???















Minecraft has added sitting. Cushions can be placed on any flat surface, allowing the player to sit.



Remembering TotalBiscuit on what would have been his 42nd birthday — The Cynical Brit 🎮 John Bain passed away from cancer in 2018. He was a passionate gaming critic and advocate for consumer rights in the industry. Gone too soon, but his voice and impact continue to be felt.



JUST IN: All new cars sold in the EU are now required to include an infrared camera that monitors the driver's eyes and face for distraction.





This should not be possible @Steam Would be cool if you could finally do something about your refund policy... Got dozens of reviews like that and 21% refund rate even though the Reviews are 90% very positive... Thats over 55,000 Refunds btw...


be Mateo - 23 years old - solo game developer from Germany - goes on vacation, tries paddle boating with his brother - realizes how hard it actually is - gets home, builds a physics-based coop paddle game around the idea - ships the demo in 2 weeks - releases the full game as "Paddle Paddle Paddle" - game blows up - sells over 150,000 units - goes full-time as an indie dev - named Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2026 should be a total win - 90% positive reviews - game clearly works, clearly isn't broken but the game is short, tight, and easy to finish fast - 55,000 refunds - 21% refund rate - $164,000 clawed back at $2.99 a copy not because it's bad because Steam's refund window has a blind spot - less than 2 hours played, 14 days since purchase - instant refund, no questions asked - built to protect buyers from broken games - can't tell "this didn't work" from "I beat this and want my money back" this exact exploit already happened in 2021 - different indie dev, Emika Games, hit the same wall - nearly quit the industry over it Valve still hasn't fixed it - posts about it publicly, gets support from the community - keeps developing anyway - already teasing his next game, a coop voice-controlled chaos game called CAAAHR went from a shower thought on vacation to 150,000 units sold to a six-figure hole in his pocket, all from the same industry that put him on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list
