According to that test, which was better for hanging coats?

Banana with cables attached

Fun fact: In blind tests, people can't reliably tell the difference in sound quality between a signal conducted through expensive audiophile cables or a banana.

"Premium" audio cables are a scam. Especially considering that for the price of 1 meter of cable, you can get several meters of bananas.

Atari ST Rogue box art. An hero in a cave reaches for a magical amulet, black background with neon lines.

Are there any games whose art style resemble the 1980 Rogue cover art?

It's not a phase. It's a feature. Godot plush with black eyeliner. #GODOT #godotengine

Btw, it's actually a real patent Sony got in 2012: patents.google.com/patent/US824...

New patent:

Ya know, idk about you but I have not once ever thought this.

Game Idea: Cooking game with Noita-like particle simulation physics. Watch as you boil an egg and the liquid eggwhite and yolk turns solid. Try to make a perfect crisp while evenly cooking insides. Watch yeast particles in the bread dough make gas particles, etc. Basically kitchen chemistry sim.

Have you ever played a game and thought "I wish I could purchase some Walmart products from within this game without exiting it"? Unity got you covered! #gamedev

Worst of all; while taking this picture, the waiter of the restaurant asked me something and pointed at the table. I didn't hear, but assumed it was about clearing the table.

So I turn around saying "Ah yeah, I've finished eating", while visibly holding a fake decorational apple with a bitemark.

Negative steam review saying "Too much content"

Free-to-play audience

YouTube video by Jenna Stoeber 230 games came out the first week of 2026: An Investigation.

Note these Steam disclaimers are self-reported, so it's fully possible some users are just choosing to not inform about it, meaning the likely percentage is higher.

First week of 2026, #Steam had 230 game releases.

Media analyst @thejenna.bsky.social combed through all of them to figure out how the #pcgaming landscape looks like at the start of this year:

> ~35% of all new Steam games declared they used AI.
> Among X-rated games, AI usage is up to >80%

EditorHotbar with E having two dots over it

> Me wondering why I can't fetch a specific node path

Suggestions: Rename mushroom shuffle to truffle shuffle

Great feedback happening at the Dig Dig Boom discord

For context: The game was previously bought by Riot (League of Legends), grew bigger in scope and attempted remade in new engine, but deemed unfeasable to finish; cancelled and shut down, bought back by original creator, patched together from earlier version, released as Early Access.

After 10 years of development, the game being cancelled, then resurrected, @hytale.bsky.social CEO says there's 2.8 million active players on day 1.

If #Hytale was on Steam it'd be the second highest concurrent player count of all time! (3.2M record) First day est. to have made >60 million USD.

Main complaint so far I think is that some enemy AI is kinda dumb in terms of pathfinding. You telling me a polar bear will not go into the water to kill me?

So far very impressed by the environments in the game. Even underwater has variety to it, and scary monsters.

#Hytale is also #Subnautica?!

It's basically Minecraft 2
