    Garry's Mod Forced to Pull Nintendo Content from Steam Workshop

    It's shocking the content lasted as long as it did.

Nintendo, being supremely protective of their intellectual properties, have issued takedown requests for Nintendo related content that users have uploaded.

    The notice about the removal of the content calls the takedown requests by Nintendo "fair."...

    TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

    Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

    On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

    This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

The permanent shut down comes after the servers were taken down "temporarily" in January 2024.

    Sony cites "ongoing technical issues" as the reason for the...

    Refunds Offered for 'Rushed' Cities: Skylines 2 DLC

    Refunds and other compensation offered to disgruntled fans.

    Cities: Skylines 2 did not have the most spectacular of launches. The game's biggest issue is that it ran like absolute trash, even on the highest of high-end systems. While there has been some progress in addressing the performance woes, there are still several issues that fans would love to see addressed.

    What fans didn't want was a paid piece of downloadable content that was light on content and contained...

    Team Fortress 2 Update Adds 64-bit Support; Big Performance Gains Reported

    Some report framerate increases of up to 20%.

    On April 18, 2024, Valve released an update for Team Fortress 2. This alone isn't terribly noteworthy, if only because Valve (well, at least one person at Valve) has been actively updating the competitive team shooter somewhat regularly over the past year. What is notable here is the fact that last night's update added 64-bit support for the 17-year old game.

    I had actually completely ignored last night's update when it came...
