Voxile, The Builder's Update is out!
This includes a lot of building-centric features we've added recently such as better carpenter tool and building plans, a very buildy world called Crystal Cathedral, and also grenades, angry NPCs, better falling physics..

Unless thereβs a rift in the space-time continuum I donβt know about, this Facebook email isnβt trueπ€β¦
Interestingly, Steam just rewrote - but did NOT remove - its 'does your game have AI in it?' dev disclosure form.

Is this true?
Someone just used PayPal to share their 2 cents about how they can improve my business⦠literally. A+ for innovation!

5g is trolling my phone. Coverage is so spotty yet it opts for 1 bar of 5g over 3 of LTE effectively locking me out of the internet. Maybe LTE was peak? Is this how Starlink wins?

Just used Gemini to quickly learn how to turn off Copilot in the newest Word.π π€ If they had personified Copilot as Clippy this would have been a much harder decision.π
TIL that the Italian term βchiaroscuroβ has the same literal meaning as the French βclair obscurβ but while culturally the former mainly refers to Renaissance painting techniquesβ¦the latter represents 19th century French philosophy and symbolism.
Sounds like both Steam and EGS/Fortnite went down as well. Too many holiday gamers?!
