10 Video Game Villains Who Foolishly Aided the Hero to Win
Video game villains come in various shapes and sizes. They possess different capacities, but there is only one end to everything they do: to ensure that the protagonist does not fulfill their mission in the long run. Video game villains employ different tricks and tactics to achieve this objective. Some disguise themselves as a friend […]

Ten Horror Games That Were Banned for Being Even Darker
We’ve already covered the ten horror games banned for being too dark, but apparently, there’s no shortage of developers willing to take things even further. Whether it’s graphic violence, real-life tragedies turned into “entertainment,” or just concepts that should’ve been rejected immediately, these games didn’t just cross the line—they removed it. Due to commenters’ demands, […]

Reviving a dead audio format: the return of ZZM
Long-time readers will know that my first video game love was the text-mode video game slash creation studio ZZT. One feature of this game is the ability to play simple music through the PC speaker, and back in the day, I remember that the format “ZZM” existed, so you could enjoy the square wave tunes outside of the games. But imagine my surprise in 2025 to find that, while the Museum of ZZT does have a ZZM Audio section, it recommends t … ⌘ Read more

Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation “fields” works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box.

All in all it’s quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The lin … ⌘ Read more

Football (soccer in America) is undeniably the world’s most popular sport, celebrated across continents from South America to the Middle East.

** Bouncing off of books **
After playing a few hours in Fields of Mistria I decided to put it down for a bit. I’m really really enjoying it. The farming is low key, and feels more like grinding for resources so far (positive), the relationship sim stuff is fun and the quests and tasks are really approachable (and there is, my favorite thing in the world, an in-game quest log!). All in all it’s a supremely, deliciously, snackable game. If I had to level critique against it, it’d be that the day/nigh … ⌘ Read more

And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide’s assistant - holding the flashlight.
