There are few things that can keep a certain kind of mechanically-inclined mind entranced as well as a marble run, and few structures that look as interestingly organic as procedurally-generated …read more

AI models don't just hallucinate. They also "scheme," meaning deliberately lie or hide their true intentions.

By connecting logic, learning and live data, the long-held dream of a truly responsive and intelligent agent is finally becoming a practical reality.

On July 16, the world of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPG) was shocked to learn that former senior Dungeons & Dragons designers, Christopher Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, had joined the ranks of Darrington Press. The news arrived just weeks after Critical Role Productions’ tabletop games imprint launched its first in-house game, Daggerheart. Back in April, Perkins […]

I Want Shorter Games With Worse Graphics and I'm Not Kidding is a catchphrase calling for the video game industry to step away from AAA video games in favo

When John Nash wrote 'Non-Cooperative Games,' his Ph.D. dissertation at Princeton in 1950, the text of his thesis (read it online) was brief. It ran only 26 pages. And more particularly, it was light on citations.

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to...

The US Copyright Office has been rubber-stamping plenty of AI-assisted creations with copyright protections—but only under specific circumstances.

Researchers in “natural language processing” tried to tame human language. Then came the transformer.

When it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.

By using some of the paradoxically smallest large language models around, Meng has brought on-device "AI" to vintage systems.

: Recently formed AI Preferences Working Group has August deadline to develop ideas on how to tell crawlers to go away, or come for a feast

In a new survey, 76% of scientists said that scaling large language models was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to achieve AGI.

Oiia oiia.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <p class="intro_text">With The Sims 4 now more than a decade old, it feels like there’s certainly space for challengers in the life game space. While 2024 saw the cancellation of promising rival Life By You, I’m looking forward to upcoming games such as InZOI and Paralives this year. But out right now is <strong>My Little Life</strong>, a new life sim with a unique twist. Built to fit neatly at the bottom of your screen, it’s designed to keep running while you go about the rest of your day, and you can get it on Steam at a bargain price, with a bonus launch sale if you’re quick. </p><div class="legion_primiswrapper"><div id="nn_player"></div></div> <p><a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/my-little-life">My Little Life</a> comes from indie developer Stevis Andrea and 9FingerGames, and it revolves around that satisfying feeling of watching your virtual avatar’s journey that makes the <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/best-games-like-sims">best games like The Sims</a> tick. Starting from their early days in a messy, cramped apartment, you’ll help them find a job, earn a living, and begin expanding and decorating their house. As things progress, more people can join your community. </p><div class="youtube" data-embed="6ot7sr4suhw" data-embed-type="standard"><img alt="YouTube Thumbnail" decoding="async" height="309" loading="lazy" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/6ot7sr4suhw/sddefault.jpg" width="100%"/> <div class="play-button"></div> </div> <p>Where My Little Life stands out is in its clever layout. Rather than taking up your full monitor, your house is laid out along the bottom of the screen, much like the <a href="http://gamesn.com/rustys-retirement/out-now-steam" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">delightful 2024 release Rusty’s Retirement</a>. If you feel the modern urge to multitask at all times the way I do, that makes My Little Life a perfect addition to your day. Don’t like the horizontal layout? You can opt for a high-rise vertical house instead that sits down one side of your display. </p><p>Designed to be non-intrusive, you won’t be constantly pestered by loud notifications, and your digital denizens won’t demand constant attention to tell them what to do. You’re welcome to direct and manage them as you wish, but left to their own devices they’ll go about their day, living their life and earning credits (for working) and fulfillment points (for satisfying their hopes and dreams). You can then spend these to build, expand, and decorate their home. </p><p>With more than eight careers to pursue, 1,000 different items to unlock, and the ability to have up to 10 people hanging out in your pad, there’s certainly a lot on offer. Even better, if you’re eyeing up something to scratch the life sim itch while we await the <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/inzoi/guide">InZOI release date</a>, you can snag My Little Life at the low price of $6, meaning it won’t break the bank – and it’s even less right now in a <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam/sale-next">Steam sale</a>, so get it while you can. </p><p><a class="gallery" href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/sites/pcgamesn/2025/02/my-little-life-steam-the-sims-rival-simulation-game-out-now-indie.jpg"><span class=""></span><img alt="My Little Life - A demonstration of the vertical mode, which sits along one side of your desktop." class="alignnone wp-image-429046 size-full" decoding="async" height="1080" loading="lazy" src="https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/sites/pcgamesn/2025/02/my-little-life-steam-the-sims-rival-simulation-game-out-now-indie.jpg" title="my-little-life-steam-the-sims-rival-simulation-game-out-now-indie" width="1920"/></a> </p><p><strong>My Little Life is out now on Steam, with a 10% launch discount available through Friday February 7.
