We just pushed a new version of esoterica to github. This is the culmination of around 2 years of work. Massive improvements across the board but most notably a brand new and modern DX12 based renderer. If you want to build your own engine, it's a great starting point! github.com/BobbyAnguelo...

I am not sure I can overstate how useful this tool is. Not sure if your game is paging out GPU-memory to system-memory? Well now you know :) github.com/jonasmr/demo...

If you've been waiting for the next great, XCOM-style tactics experience, Star Wars Zero Company is that and more: Lovers of Mass Effect and the Clone Wars animated series will be eating good here.

pcgamer.com

Star Wars Zero Company is more than just 'Star Wars XCOM'—it feels like Mass Effect but with turn-based tactics and permadeath

This Clone Wars tactics game from former XCOM devs may end up 2026's biggest surprise.

Google Gemini was tasked to hallucinate the front page of Hacker News on December 9, 2035. Highlighted is an entry that links to killedbygoogle.com with the headline, “Google Kills Gemini Cloud Services.”

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

Seeing the Northern Lights is one thing - but have you ever seen a *city* up there? Yes, like that scene in ep. 1 of 'His Dark Materials'. Because here's the weird thing: they exist. You can indeed see cities in the sky. There's credible, explainable science on it. Let's do this. 🧵 1/

I was asked to verify and photograph a Nintendo 64 Disk Drive (64DD) Development Kit from a private video game collector. The system was new in box and needed to be carefully documented. This is what it looks like to unbox one.
