In another classic meditation on the concept of can vs. should, the streamer who made her name beating Elden Ring using her mind has once again made incredibly unconventional use of her Master’s degree in psychology. Content creator PerriKaryal is back with by far her most dangerous experiment yet: a custom controller rigged to her literal head that apparently controls her actual real-life bodily movement to a degree.As reported by PC Gamer, PerriKaryal’s latest stunt involved hacking her own brain’s balance system using a technique called galvanic vestibular stimulation. In a genuinely frightening TikTok video, the streamer attached nodes originating…
The future for Highguard does not look bright. Developer Wildlight went through mass layoffs barely two weeks after launch, and if the game can stage a comeback at this point, it’ll be something beyond a miracle. Today, however, a bizarre twist in the Highguard saga has emerged, as a new report suggests Chinese megapublisher Tencent financially backed the game.Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group, which makes games including Pokemon Unite and Delta Force, “was the undisclosed lead financial backer” behind Wildlight, according to Game File. Exact details of the arrangement, including the amount of funding, when or if it ended, and why…

Even the most beloved video games have their critics, but it’s not often that those critics are the people who made the game. But that’s exactly what happened at the end of a recent Witcher 1 playthrough by the game’s lead narrative designer Artur Ganszyniec, who became frustrated during an action sequence in the game’s epilogue but kept it classy and took the entirety of the blame.Ganszyniec recently published the final episode of his 26-video saga, in which he played through the entirety of the first Witcher for the first time in 20 years, and at about the 23-minute mark…
Overwatch players have had a week to familiarize themselves with new hero Jetpack Cat’s ways, but no one really knows anything about the flying feline’s history. The official story is that the support hero Brigitte found her as a stray and gave her that custom jet-propulsion rig, but let’s be real, that doesn’t exactly clear everything up.Seemingly in an attempt to calm down the growing chorus of critics demanding answers, Blizzard has released a lore video for Jetpack Cat, and I’m sorry to say it, but they’re sticking to their guns. Jetpack Cat’s just a cat. Nothing more to see…
Highguard is in a bit of a Schrödinger’s cat situation. That’s because at the time of writing, the official site only shows the shooter’s logo, and text that reads “This site is currently unavailable. Please contact support@codethirtytwo.com for assistance,” alongside links to its official Discord server and Dwitter page. This, of course, could just be a blip, but even as I’m writing this it’s been the case for several hours, and there’s not a single word from developer Wildlight about why it’s down. So, it is both dead and not dead until someone opens the box. This obviously isn’t…

Steam Deck OLED stock is the latest victim of the AI boom-related explosion in RAM and SSD prices, it seems. Valve has just added a notice to its Steam Deck store page explaining that “Steam Deck OLED may be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.” Steam Deck supply has often been hit with outages, particularly during the early days of the launch of both the Steam Deck LCD and Steam Deck OLED, thanks to Valve’s gaming handheld simply being so popular that it regularly sold out. However, several years into its existence, stock of the…

“Huh.” This, as admiringly as I can make this sound, was the first thought I thunked when I put down the demo for Titanium Court. Here is a game that is many things. The first thing it is is a play, in perhaps a literal sense, perhaps as a tool to immediately allow one to suspend their sense of disbelief at everything that is about to follow. We’re watching a play, a narrative vehicle where anything can happen as long as what’s on stage is convincing enough to make us believe it’s happening. And truthfully, I’m still trying to…
