You can build yourself a multi-color MacBook Neo, if you got the DIY tools handy

The MacBook Neo may be Apple’s cheapest laptop, but it is also turning into one of the weirdest fun DIY projects the company has enabled (accidentally) in years. As Macworld points out, Apple has opened up MacBook Neo parts through its Self Service Repair program, and the way the store works seems to leave room for some creative color mixing.

In other words, you can order something like a Citrus bottom case for a silver MacBook Neo, or Indigo keycaps for a blush-colored model.…

Is Stardew Valley cross-platform?

Despite indie darling Stardew Valley only being built by a single developer, you certainly wouldn’t know it by the amount of support the game has received since its launch in 2016. Regular updates, ports to other platforms, and even a fully-fledged online multiplayer mode make the game feel essentially endless.

With Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update adding that multiplayer mode, fans have been begging for cross-platform play, as well as cross-progression. So, if you’re looking to recruit some fellow agriculture enthusiasts or some farming friends, read on to…

Soulframe Is A ‘Response To The Cynicism Of The World,’ According To Digital Extremes

Warframe developer Digital Extremes is hard at work making its first game in nearly a decade, Soulframe, alongside the community in its early access “Preludes” form.

Pragmata Review – Hack And Blast

Third-person action-shooters have been around a long time, so it’s relatively rare that we see a wealth of new ideas at play. Pragmata’s greatest feat is successfully introducing a twist on the form, integrating two distinct mechanics –  hacking and shooting – that run simultaneously in the midst of a fight. While Capcom’s long-awaited action game has some other problems, that single innovation keeps things interesting, even while some of the surrounding game treads familiar ground.Hugh is a specialist sent to a corporate moonbase where 3D-printed environments, bots, and other objects are researched and built at the direction of a…
