EA announced a battle royale mode was in development for Battlefield 6 a while ago, and now we know what it'll be called. RedSec releases tomorrow, alongside the game's first season update, and it will be completely free to play. More details will be revealed tomorrow, but we already know that RedSec will feature an insta-kill zone system, far less lenient than any other game.| Latest from Tom's Hardware
ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, is reportedly creating its own Steam competitor targeted at global markets.

To explain today’s game we need to go back to 1982 and a company from the London area, Rabbit Software, which I’ve written about before. To recap: they were a mail order company that spun off from a computer shop early in 1982, quite quickly filling their catalog with solicited content. They had some drama […]| Renga in Blue
I’ve finished the game; my previous post is needed for context. The creatures here all very standard-issue (troll, dragon, minotaur) and the author even has in the title (“Odysseys” plural) the implication that this is a mash-up of sorts, but at the very least I think we can pin him on thinking of Clash of […]| Renga in Blue

A short tale of heads, memory, and virtual farms. I was hanging the laundry to dry outside on a sunny morning, and there it was: a headless field mouse resting on the lawn. Then I remembered the camera had caught a dry-heaving cat the previous night. A domestic, well-fed cat with outside access is probably not that interested in eating its prey. In fact, my husband found the mouse’s head elsewhere in the garden a few days later. What a grim end for the poor little thing. --- I finished read...| Design & other obsessions by Silvia Maggi
