US Supreme Court strike down majority of Trump's tariffs, so hopefully that's one less hardware buying headache to worry about

For once, I bring what should hopefully be good news for folks looking to buy or upgrade their PC hardware without having to factor in a bunch of inconveniences they can do nothing about. The RAM crisis is still in full swing, but the US Supreme Court have struck down the majority of President Trump's tariffs on imports.

XCOM designer Jake Solomon reveals "Life Sims + The Truman Show" game... while announcing his studio's closure

Midsummer Studios announced their existence in May 2024 with a promise to “revitalise the life sim genre”, but now, they’re closing down.

Fogpiercer is a tactical game that recognises the true joy of artillery is using it to give your enemies a little shove

The thing you need to understand about Fogpiercer is that this deckbuilding roguelike, in which you control a train battling Mad Max-style road bandits, knows the secret joy of artillery. It is one of the few games that recognises that while it's satisfying to hit an enemy with a shell from a howitzer, it's even more satisfying to target the space next to them and use the force of the blast to give them a sideways shove into a wall.
