"I'm always playing somewhere between three and six games at a time."

Steam is an elephant, and we are all trying to describe it blindfolded. To bring order to this economic chaos, I have curated a list of must-play games—indies, cult hits, no brainer classics, all ones I like personally—that are $5 or cheaper in the 2026 Summer Sale. Five bucks is my threshold for "not a big deal," and unless the economy is even worse than I thought, it's likely yours...

Sony drove another nail into the coffin of physical videogames today, announcing that it'd cease production of PS5 discs in 2028.

New research explains a method that helps AI make 3D CAD programs from images, which would help product designers and engineers more quickly and easily create 3D prototypes. Naturally, this also sparks deep-rooted dread over it helping robots to build themselves, relegating humanity to the trash. But setting aside my noir nightmares, the new method looks like it could be of significant benefit to some 3D designers and engineers. According...
