Butchering “Butchering Pathologic” is a series of articles on Pathologic 3, inspired by Quintin Smith’s peerless retrospective for the original game. Last time, we butchered the Clock. Today, we’re thinking about bodies, disease and discipline. Videogames have given us many fascinating healing mechanics and ideas about healing, from the motley support playstyles of Overwatch to the musical cooldown management of Wild Growth, but one thing developers rarely capture is that healing is an expression of power over somebody. However kind, it has the potential to be demeaning, intrusive, even abusive. In my experience of doctors and hospitals, healing is…

Clean up aura and gossip with curious characters on a mysterious ship in the very 3DS era Zelda-esque Bel's Fanfare
It’s undeniable that for throwback 3D retro aesthetics, the original PlayStation and Nintendo 64 are the consoles that most people try to emulate. So I’m always quite chuffed to see a game that takes its visual cues from more recent consoles, like, say, Bel’s Fanfare, a very 3DS-era looking Zelda-esque game where you play as a little demon girl who works as a cleaner on a strange, massive ship. Armed with nought but a funny-looking shield, Bel is specifically tasked with aura cleaning, aura being a mysterious substance that comes from impurities of the soul, i.e. globs of…
OpenAI could ditch Nvidia GPUs, handing a lifeline to PC gamers desperately seeking affordable cards
Well, this wasn’t in our top ten 2026 expectations. According to eight sources “familiar with the matter,” OpenAI is “unsatisfied with some of Nvidia’s latest artificial intelligence chips”, and actively seeking to move away from Nvidia GPUs in favor of more specialized processors. Were this to cause a significant reduction in demand for Nvidia GPUs for AI, it could mean GPUs for graphics cards becoming more readily available, though it remains far too early to tell exactly how this situation will play out. The reason for this potential shift in demand is that while Nvidia GPUs remain dominant for training…

"When you make literally billions of dollars on Skyrim," Bethesda veteran would be "shocked" if Amazon's Fallout TV show makes the studio "any money they care about"
Prime TV’s hit adaptation of Fallout is obviously the result of a collaboration between Amazon and Bethesda, the company holding the rights to the IP, but according to Bruce Nesmith, a former veteran of the studio who left in 2021, the money Bethesda makes from the TV show pales in comparison to what it earns from highly successful games like Skyrim.”What you have to realize about things like the Fallout TV show is that they don’t make Bethesda money directly,” Nesmith told Press Box PR. “I would be shocked if Bethesda is making any money that they care about really,…
The Outer Worlds 2 sounds like it's not getting a follow-up any time soon, but Obsidian plan to give Avowed some wacky cousins
Despite any PR babble you might have heard about 2025 being the “Year of Obsidian”, the studio have admitted that putting out three games in the course of 12 months isn’t something they’re keen to do again. Sadly, two of those games – mushroom-encusted RPG Avowed and space capitalism-encusted RPG The Outer Worlds 2 – haven’t managed to hit the sales targets corporate overlords Microsoft assigned them. As it stands, Obsidian say they’re keen to do more in the fantasy world of Eora, but aren’t working on an Outer Worlds 3.
