You can use the “Adjust Donation” drop-down menu to fine-tune how much goes to the publisher, the charity, or Humble.

Every once in a while, a neat-looking little movie comes along and gets tons of flak for very stupid reasons. Now, it’s A24’s turn to face AI-related criticisms only because Isaiah Saxon’s The Legend of Ochi looks adorably clean.The movie, which stars Helena Zengel, Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe, follows a girl on the run after finding a weird little guy from a rare animal species that’s feared by the local northern population and hunted down on sight. It looks quite gorgeous and inoffensive, like classic Amblin meets Wes Anderson, but the generative-AI-produced slop we’ve been exposed to for the past two years or so has hurt many people’s perceptions. Couple that with engagement/rage-farming being a career choice for many, and you’ve got a shitstorm going!To see this conte…

After a number of trashy sequels that skipped cinemas, the property is returning to the big screen, but this new take on it, likely led by Jack Black and Paul Rudd, isn’t what anyone was expecting.We first heard about a reboot in the distant year of 2020, back when I was just starting to put words together in exchange for money. Evan Daugherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) was working on a script, but the entire project went silent… until now.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The Hollywood Reporter’s new report on the franchise refresh leads with Black and Rudd’s potential casting, but the most intriguing bit comes right afterwards: “…
Read moreIf you’ve booted up the mobile versions of Resident Evil 4, 7, or Village recently, and found you couldn’t play without an internet connection, you’re not the only one.It’s pretty common for a lot of mobile titles to require an internet connection, particularly gacha games that’ll be running checks to make sure you’re not cheating, but it’s rare for single-player games to need them. Except as spotted by some fans online, a recent update for Resident Evil 4, 7, and Village on iOS respectively all made it so that you need an internet connection when booting the game up. “Due to changes to the startup process, an internet connection is now required when starting this app,” reads the update note for each game.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings This is ob…
Read moreI cannot begin to wrap around my head how the absolutely awful Silent Hill: Ascension has won an Emmy.We all know that Silent Hill: Ascension is a bad “game” right? I put game in air quotes there because it’s hard to call it one, really, when all you got to do was vote on what cutscenes played out. And yet somehow, against all odds, it has won an Emmy. Yes, the same Emmys that give out awards to actually good TV shows as opposed to whatever Ascension actually is. The award it specifically won is for “Outstanding Innovation In Emerging Media Programming” and I don’t know about you, but I don’t think either the word “outstanding” or “innovation” belongs anywhere near that mess of a Silent Hill game.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings I’m not actually su…

With that in mind, rocket devastators and gunships are having some extra limits put on their explosive potential.The studio is offering little snippets of the notes for Patch 01.001.007 at the moment, building on what it shared in last week’s blog post and building up to the update dropping on September 17, followed by the Chemical Agents Warbond just a couple of days later.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Arrowhead’s latest update note reveal concerns rocket-toting foes, which have been the subject of some criticism from players, e…
Read moreWarning: Spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3, specifically the bits Wyll is involved in or can be present for, lie ahead.Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 7 and the huge array of other post-launch additions and tweaks Larain has made top the game – it’s not quite done either – have fulfilled a lot of the things fans wished were in the base game, or wanted to be improved. However, some Wyll uber-fans don’t reckon the studio did as much for him as it could have, with a couple of modders having now decided to try and rectify that themselves.This isn’t the first instance in the BG3 community of folks taking stock of the situation post Patch 7 and wishing that Larian had done more with an aspect of the game they love. Just the other week, a bunch of Durge mains started petitioning the developer to revamp some c…
Read moreGood news, folks who bought God of War Ragnarok’s PC port and were immeditely a bit cheesed off by the PSN account sign-in/linking requirement that’s been a point of contention between Sony and players for a good while now. There’s now a mod that may well be able to help you get around the need to do that.As you might remember, this kind of thing’s been a big talking point around a lot of the PC ports and releases of PlayStation titles we’ve seen this year. Helldivers 2 had a whole review-bombing mess over PSN account linking becoming mandatory on PC, leading that to be walked back. Ghost of Tsushima and God of War Ragnarok have then ended up living under that shadow, with both facing questions and/or negative reviews over how they handled the same kind of thing.To see this content please …
Read moreAstro Bot has more cameos than you probably realised there were PlayStation games, but there’s one game that feels conspicuously absent: Final Fantasy 7.I feel like it probably isn’t hyperbole to say that Final Fantasy 7 is the quintessential PS1 game, right? I mean, it’s the second best selling game on the platform throughout its entire time on the market, only beaten out by Gran Turismo (another classic, but even with those sales I doubt most would look back to the PS1 and immediately think of it). Despite how popular a title it was at the time, and how embedded it is into the history of PlayStation, neither hot boy Cloud Strife nor any other Final Fantasy, or Square Enix character as a whole, made it into Team Asobi’s Astro Bot. It’s an odd omission, and one you can only assume is down …

Read moreVariousThere are so many ways to be a Dungeons & Dragons fan these days. The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet.
