Nostalgia makes people do crazy things in an effort to rekindle that feeling of warmth from the past. We see all sorts of mods around nostalgic tech, especially for enjoying old media like the swathes of retro consoles I saw at Collect Fest last weekend. A lot of this is about celebrating physical media for the certainty it brings us in ownership, and also for the memories it evokes.That's not...

The days of every movie getting a PS2 tie-in have long past, and we seem to have settled into a new era of smaller-scale spin-offs like those made by Bithell, and monster triple-A projects like Insomniac's Spider-Men."It has fully split....
Pope Leo XIV is a pontiff of firsts: He's the first American Pope, his love for Wordle makes him the first gamer Pope, he's the first Pope to declare war on AI, and now he's the first Pope in human history to both own and have signed a Pokémon card.Yeah, I wasn't expecting that one either.
