This modder made such a great change to Starfield’s food it’s actually making me hungry-

I get the concept behind the way Bethesda designed Starfield’s food items. In the year 2330, humanity has become a spacefaring species, blasting across the galaxy in spaceships—and just as people are sealed inside spacesuits for protection, food is kept inside clear little plastic containers.

But there’s something unsatisfying about seeing a tasty chicken tikka, some crispy alien nu…

A new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod fills the game with origin character voice lines you probably missed-

More Reactive Companions is one of those mods that just makes sense: it takes a huge reserve of background dialogue lines already present in Baldur’s Gate 3 but exclusive to origin characters, and repurposes them as companion banter.

The fact that Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you play as any of its companions instead of a custom blank slate is sick, but I think most of us are rol…

Warzone 2 is giving everyone keys to the nukes for the next week-

Call of Duty has no greater a flex than the tactical nuke. Back in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, the nuke was a killstreak that could only be earned by putting down 25 kills without dying. Triggering a nuke immediately ends the match in your favor, kinda like grabbing the golden snitch in Quidditch, but with skin-melting radiation. It took less than a week for players to figure out how Infinity Ward…

We regret to inform you that Palworld has a smutty lizard ‘seeking a night of love’ with humans, which raids bases in hordes of ‘rampaging fangirls’-

Palworld is an edgy game—more in implication than reality. While it’s grown a reputation for a Happy Tree Friends-style subversiveness, everything in its world is pretty sanitised. For instance: Pals eat human cadavers, but they just peck at them until they vanish. 

The whole game feels like a send-up of Pokémon’s simmering ‘it’s messed up if you thi…

Windows 11’s Teams Chat bloatware will soon no longer taunt me with its very existence-

Looks like Microsoft will soon let us rid our Windows 11 PCs of the Microsoft Teams Chat feature, which is currently impossible to uninstall. Microsoft appears to be reacting to concerns over a potential antitrust investigation from the European Commission, after complaints were made by several companies over Teams being just too damn prevalent.

We’ve all been subject to bloatware. For co…

Keyboard customisation is a big deal at the moment, and you don’t have to look far to find a host of different ways to tweak your favourite clicky clacky device to your heart’s content. For those of you with an axe to grind however, Dbrand has just released a limited edition aluminium keycap with the immortal words “Fuck off” milled directly into the face. Call me crude if you must, but I want …

Update: At around 9 pm ET, Microsoft announced that “users should no longer be encountering issues signing in to Xbox Live and services.” The cause of the outage has not yet been revealed. 

Original story:

Microsoft says a “major outage” at Xbox Live is keeping some users from logging in, and it’s taking longer than expected to get the problem …

WoW’s UI arms race rages on as Blizzard says they’ll crack down on sparkly new combat overlays-

As a Final Fantasy 14 player, I’m sometimes jealous of how good World of Warcraft players have it. Thanks to FF14’s EULA forbidding interface addons entirely, I have to stick to definitely only hearing about them third-hand through unmentioned friends, with mods I absolutely do not have installed. Then I’m reminded of events like this, and I’m suddenly counting my blessings.
