Image credit: Digital Sun Digital Sun – the independent studio behind addictive roguelike Moonlighter and atmospheric RTS Cataclismo – has postponed a scheduled Steam playtest for its upcoming title, ReVamp, due to worries about “games being reverse-engineered, replicated and published before the original is even out.” The developer had intended to allow players into its vampiric “Tower Defensevania” ReVamp towards the close of this eerie month, but a rising trend of gen-AI imitators replicating both classic and forthcoming games left the studio concerned. Watch on YouTube “So many of you registered for ReVamp’s initial playtest here on Steam (thank you!), but we’ve opted to initiate with something more limited on our Discord, with the public playtest set to follow at a later date,” the developer mentioned in a recent Steam blog post. Digital Sun highlighted concerns regarding “reports of games being reverse-engineered, replicated and published before the original has even launched,” expressing that “sharing... Read More

Someone has made a Lego Millennium Falcon out of a chicken set, and now I think I’ve seen it all

(Image credit: Lego) Just when I believe I’ve observed everything, someone decides to transform a chicken into a Lego Millennium Falcon. More precisely, they have fashioned the galaxy’s swiftest heap of junk utilizing a Moana Lego Hehei kit (which is adorably google-eyed and frequently available for less than $30 at Amazon). Enthusiast Switz399 shared their creation on reddit, and it’s… rather impressive, actually? Yes, it might appear slightly more floral than Han Solo’s ship usually is because of the flowers on Heihei’s foundation. Yet, it’s unmistakably the scruffy nerf herder’s aircraft. Most remarkable of all is the revelation that they seemingly utilized every single part in the box. Don’t waste, don’t want, I assume. Will it Falcon HeiHei Chicken from r/lego In addition to the design being accurate (including the challenging cockpit that protrudes at a peculiar angle), this construction adeptly captures minor yet easily-overlooked features like the circular grills at the rear and...

I’ve been covering MMOs for 13 years, and this is by far the most disgusting grind I’ve ever seen

Ralph 0 13 Views

(Image credit: Jagex) In January 2023, an Old School RuneScape enthusiast made history by soaring to 200 million proficiency in the MMO’s challenging Agility skill in less than a minute by redeeming eight years worth of accrued minigame tickets. It was unparalleled – a ‘witness it to believe it’ instance, akin to observing someone topple a series of dominoes as vast and intricate as the Taj Mahal. On October 16, 2026, another OSRS player, Vollshtandig, achieved 200 million Agility proficiency following a 3,475-hour effort that is somehow even more daunting. A few months earlier, Vollshtandig revealed his ambition to attain 200 million proficiency in every skill – a feat that only 73 individuals have accomplished in OSRS’s history, or merely 60 if you consider the newly introduced skill Sailing – by focusing on them individually. Once he selects a new skill, he cannot gain experience in any other until he achieves max proficiency in... Read More
