"Why are younger players gravitating toward retro titles - and how should studios respond to this trend?"

Heroes III is the top-selling retro game on GOG... and almost half of buyers are under the age of 25.

GOG's theory: for younger generations that grew up with Minecraft and Roblox, graphical/technical fidelity *does not matter*, which is a huge market shift #GDC2026

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

No one should be remotely entertaining the NOTION of artificial-intelligence rights so long as we are still debating which humans deserve any HUMAN rights. And especially if we are burning and wholesale slaughtering the NON-HUMAN life we share this mud ball with to create those supposed AI.

I prefer the straight up sea variety tbh.

Stuffing the side compartments of your car with paper maps that no one could properly parse. Many a wrong detours taken.

And one more from the mid 90s: if you were on the web, and mom needed to make a call, you better not be doing anything important...

The home electric meters didn't have a digital display - there was this funny little wheel that spun and increased an analog counter.

Paper maps held in the side compartments of a car.

Palm oil in *everything* and no one cared.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

‘Titanic’ statue of Trump and Epstein on the Mall draws praise, scorn The statue, depicting them embracing on a copy of the Titanic bow, is the third placed on the Mall by the artists depicting a connection between Trump and Epstein.

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.

It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

Wait... 3X3 / Trinetra has a game?! 😱

Fortnite is memey garbage anyway. Can't wait to see it sink into irrelevance.

wait what

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

I'm safe

Which checks out, as they also made the criminally underrated 'Do Not Enter'.

Bonus points as, from what I gather, they manage to release consistently yet stay away from the Doomworld quagmire.

I don't really play #Doom nowadays, but on a whim I downloaded this one 'Canister' by J-Force and it was excellent. Good use of IWAD textures.

[OC] Kenzo Tange's Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium, Takamatsu (1964) - Another Brutalist gem living on borrowed time, sadly scheduled for demolition (despite various viable reuse proposals submitted). r/brutalism

Never cared much for the game tbh (it lived in that 'early 3D' space that I don't vibe with), but it's always good to see old games properly dusted up and preserved.

Going to try this one out in between WoW leveling. Looks fun.
