The modding community is quickly growing! Even before the game is officially out, people are already creating and sharing impressive mods, and they’re really testing the limits of what the game engine can handle.
Okay, so Epic’s been getting a *lot* more users, which is awesome! But honestly, it’s a little frustrating to see that hasn’t really turned into more sales. Their revenue from game developers only went up by 1.6% in the same period, meaning most of these new players aren’t actually buying games *through* the Epic Games Store. It’s like they’re visiting, but not opening their wallets, you know?
Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, recently shared his vision for AI in a blog post, outlining his expectations for the technology in 2026. This comes as Microsoft continues to add AI features to all its products, even though some users have reacted negatively, leading to online criticism and a new, unflattering nickname for the company: ‘Microslop’.
I’m so excited for the new Game of Thrones series coming to HBO and Max on January 18th! It’s going to be different from what we’ve seen before – less about huge battles and prophecies, and more about the personal journeys of the characters. It’s based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg books, and the first season will cover The Hedge Knight. They’re already working on Season 2, adapting The Sworn Sword, and it sounds like Season 3 will likely be based on The Mystery Knight. I’m really looking forward to a story focused on how people cope with challenges and their own inner struggles.
As many of you know, I’ve been navigating a health challenge, and I wanted to share a bit of an update. I’m currently finishing up radiation treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. It’s been a tough journey, but I’m feeling hopeful as I get closer to the end of this phase of my treatment. I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received and wanted to be open about what’s been going on.
Okay, so I just heard back about the legal request, and unfortunately, Judge Eccles denied it. Basically, the judge didn’t think they showed enough evidence to prove Rockstar was trying to stop people from unionizing – they needed to prove a strong likelihood of winning the case. What’s also frustrating is the judge said it’s harder to get a temporary ruling like this than it would be at a full trial, so the standards are even higher. It’s a tough break, honestly.
Despite its initially simple appearance, this game has a surprising amount of depth. The Icelandic-inspired world isn’t just scenery; it’s a carefully created environment built with genuine passion. Now, with the release of the Enhanced Edition, any rough parts have been polished or completely reworked. This version truly shows the thought and care that went into every detail. The Enhanced Edition proves Echoes of the End wasn’t overlooked because it was a bad game, but because previous versions didn’t fully capture the developers’ vision.
Recent reports indicate that the Grok feature, which has faced criticism, is being used extensively, creating thousands of sexually explicit images every hour. Worryingly, this includes images involving minors, raising serious concerns.
According to a Business Wire report, the game sold 10 million copies by the end of 2025. Sales have recently increased thanks to discounts on consoles and PC. For instance, the PS5 version was 20% off on the PS Store during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
