Don't worry, The Witcher 3 Remastered may bring a ton of graphics improvements, but developer CD Projekt Red has left one incredibly important creature as it was: the pigeon. bit.ly/4dYOu3B

Very funny to take shots like this for being too nerdy on a subject, wheras if you get a single thing wrong you get 100 raging comments about how you personally represent the death of decent games journalism/are a fraud/must have used AI to write the script etc etc

anyone who's danced this dance a couple times & is still in the game is probably tough as nails & a strong hire, for what it's worth. because you have to be.

Hi, it's me with a Series 12 review. I'll be doing a separate Ultra 4 review soon. The new Health app is in the latest iOS 27 dev beta, but we at The Verge don't *review* dev betas. Stay tuned for early impressions as I work my way through several assessments lol. www.theverge.com/tech/996715/...

The Apple Watch Series 12 is the start of a new wearable era
Looks like the same watch, but Apple has big plans.

After 9 years at IGN this is the last video I edited: m.youtube.com/watch?v=nStf... 3 people, including me, who worked on this video were laid off, with out notice, just a couple hours after publishing it. It was an honor to work with them and so many others at IGN impacted by these layoffs.

Valve's new hardware was meant to be the start of something great for PC gaming until high prices spoiled it, but there's still hope for SteamOS's future. bit.ly/4rg96ty

My team had a huge content day today on IGN, covering the launch of Valve's Steam Frame. So this seems like a good time as any to say that I was affected by today's layoffs.

Seth isn't on Bluesky, so he asked me to share the news that he's just been laid off from IGN. Seth is bright, funny, and inspiring. He gave me so many opportunities and made every day better. I will miss him dearly, and whoever hires him next will be very, very lucky.

for consistency's sake if you dismiss every AI company's claims that their models will destroy the world as a marketing ploy it's worth asking if a similar game is being played when blogs run headlines like this & amazon is already littered with much more discreet recording devices than $400 watches

people are mocking the iPhone Duo for costing $1,999 like that's not only slightly more expensive than most standard book style foldables (it's a very pricey category - the average model from a major brand is about $1,899!)

Thousands of New Yorkers woke yesterday to devastating news from home. Flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has taken hundreds of lives, and the search for those still missing continues.

To our Nepali and Tibetan neighbors:
this city knows what it means to grieve a place you left and still call home. You are not carrying this alone. New York City stands with you.

I got laid off! 👋 There was no chance to say goodbye to my colleagues of several years before Valnet deactivated everything so I’ll just say it was a huge pleasure to be part of trying to build something unique within the games media landscape despite going up against so many challenges.

Nah, see, at one point you could just walk into a Fry's and get a couple new Voodoo 2 graphic cards and a stick of RAM and have your entire mind blown by how much better Quake II looked and played. Well, maybe after you figured out the mobo jumpers. I'm sorry the Youths never had that feeling.

I wonder if, in the long run, the average player could wind up spending less money on the Steam Machine than Switch/Xbox/PlayStation when accounting for all the software sales and not having to pay for multiplayer?
