Hey everyone, just dropped a new video diving deep into Cyberpunk 2077 - its rocky 5 year development history, its initial horrible launch, and how we ended up with a fixed game. Plus, an analysis on what it could mean for the future of gaming! Check it out here >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJE7...

I actually completed a side project for once! I decided I wanted to learn more about low-level computing and C++ all at once and I ended up making a Game Boy emulator. Read my blog post linked in the reply to join me on my journey! Thanks!

A thumbnail image for a blog post. On the left hand side, it says "Making a Game Boy Emulator", and on the right hand side, it shows a Windows 11 styled window titled "GameByte" with Tetris for Game Boy running within it.

holy fucking shit Epic won this is huge, massively positive news for the games industry at large! Epic isn’t an angel but their case and cause on this was 110% the correct decision App Store not being able to gate 3rd party purchases in the US is !!!!! www.theverge.com/news/659246/...

A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store

The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

A screenshot of an Xbox 360 with a message titled "FreeMyXe beta 2", with the message "About to start patching HV and kernel... / Your CPU key is: <censored> / Write that down and keep it safe!". There is only one option: "OK".

i can't put into words just how happy it makes me that someone was able to hack the xbox 360 hypervisor after all these years. it's something i'd been trying to do for the past 3 years and Grimdoomer finally came along and did it good having the cpu key for my childhood 360 is surreal. thank u ryan
