I hate scalpers. I especially hate scalpers when they swarm gaming hardware that already has limited availability. They buy it before regular customers and gamers can get a fair shot, and then relist it at cartoonish prices for the people who actually wanted to use it. We’ve seen this issue time and time again, but Valve’s latest move might be the best anti-scalper weapon I’ve seen in a while. Steam’s database now suggests Valve may already have a reservation queue system prepared for the upcoming Steam Machine. The discovery reportedly comes from a recent Steam update spotted by user Pepeizq,…
Every morning, millions of people open Wordle, stare at a blank grid, and spend a few quiet minutes locked in a private battle with the five letters. There is no host narrating your every move, no studio audience gasping when you waste a guess on a word, and absolutely nobody cheering you on. Just you, the word, and the slightly smug satisfaction of getting it right under three attempts. However, The New York Times wants to change that by bringing it to NBC primetime. Wordle is becoming a game show, hosted by Today anchor Savannah Guthrie and produced by Jimmy…

Hot off the heels of Nintendo announcing a Switch 2 remake of Star Fox 64, now is a good time to revisit the original Nintendo 64 adventure from start to finish. First released in the US on June 30, 1997, to critical acclaim, Star Fox 64 is the second entry in the Star Fox series that sees Fox and his crew battle t defend the Lylat system from the villain Andross. Star Fox 64 is also kind of a reboot of the original Star Fox, and that’s only the beginning of this game’s strange trajectory. It has been remade for the…

Discord launched its Nitro subscription almost 10 years ago, and it’s changed a lot over the years. While its current tiers mainly offer users more emojis, higher quality streaming, and generally more customization options, it used to include complementary games, but that perk was discontinued in 2019. Today, the company announced plans to revive that idea and partner with Xbox and provide Game Pass for Nitro users – kind of.According to a blog post on Discord’s website, the new program is called Nitro Rewards, and it’s exactly what it sounds like – perks for Discord’s paid subscribers. Discord describes today’s…
Summer is when pools move from being part of the setup to becoming part of everyday life. What starts as a manageable routine quickly turns into regular use, whether it is weekends with family, hosting friends, or simply spending more time outdoors. It is also when maintenance stops being occasional and begins to demand consistency, which is where most systems start to fall short. Surface debris returns faster than expected, shallow areas remain inconsistent, and steps that were meant to be automated begin to come back into the routine. What looks simple at the start of the season starts to…
