After the art director of Marathon was fired, the company proudly announced a way more generic look of the game. Since alpha, they mostly got rid of toon shader and now it's Apex Legends 2 kind of thing.

Do you prefer the new look?

Why did Apex Legends Mobile look better than this desktop grade game from 2026?!

Disco Elysium is free on Epic Store for one day, so let me explain the game, if you haven't heard of it. Here's how I died during my first two hours of gameplay:

— I woke up and died right away
— I jumped to get my sock and died
— Flirted with the girl and died
— Ran from an old lady on a wheelchair
— Kicked the rubbish bin
— Argued with the nasty kid
— Argued with the creepy worker

Perfect simulator of being 35, 10/10

In most cases you better avoid making hand-painted weights for wind distribution of every single plant, dammit!

You can simply use object-space to apply gradients from the origin based on height and distance from the stem. And apply the angle of the stem. Or at worst a mask that will apply more force to leaves.

After all the hate I've heard from the media, it was a surprise to actually watch 28 Years Later. The movie has such an obvious vision and director's view, that it shines regardless of being both disgusting and dorky at the same time.

The kid does an exceptional job, but it would be so much easier to like the whole thing if it was not forging the ground for the sequel.

This crap is the real ad in Minecraft which caused a massive backlash from players and mental health specialists.

It's highly likely that this message can cause problems for people who already experience issues with socialization. And such a toxic game is the last solution you should think of that case.

Community Notes is spreading lies about John "MegaTextures" Carmack

Rainbow Six Siege has been hacked in several attempts by different groups.

First ones got access to the game server admin panel: they banned people and gave away $300m+ worth of goods for free. It seems that hackers banned Ubisoft employees while Ubisoft banned "people with suspicious amounts of currency". Most of these bans are rolled back now.

Then a few more groups seemingly got the full access to all the sources of the game. This still has to be confirmed, since Ubisoft is only discussing the admin access. They temporarily shut down the marketplace and secondary ban system that has been breached.

The security issue is not coming from Ubisoft, it's MongoBleed: MongoDB Zlib Vulnerability (CVE-2025-14847), affecting millions of servers worldwide.
