The Digital Version of ‘Twilight Imperium’ Will Save You *So* Much Clean Up Time

Twilight Imperium has had a rep for endurance almost since it was first introduced. A dense tabletop experience of spacebound strategy, it’s become the face of marathon-length board gaming as players spend hours after hours dictating their space operatic maneuvers through the medium of many, many, many little tokens and cards being shuffled and passed around the board. So, good news for people who’ve always been interested but daunted by those occasionally tall tales of just what an effort it ev

The New York Times Mini Crossword Is Behind a Paywall: Here's a Way to Play

I'm a fan of the New York Times Mini Crossword -- a sporty, streamlined companion to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. Typically, the Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) has roughly a dozen clues to work through -- six across-clues and six down-clues -- and you can complete it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But in late August, some Mini Crossword players suddenly ran int

Doom crash after 2.5 years of real-world runtime confirmed on real hardware

Post by minki » 2025-09-16 IMG_20250916_224553.jpg (81.99 KiB) Viewed 26683 times Two and a half years ago, I started my now longest real-world software experiment. I had read an article about how DOOMs engine works and noticed how a variable for tracking the demo kept being incremented even after the next demo started. This variable was compared with a second one storing its previous value. The issue here being, each incrementation would cause the variable to slowly get closer to an overflow,

'Baby Steps' Is a Hiking Game That Trolls ‘Slightly Problematic’ Men

Game developer Bennett Foddy was watching a Greek myth unfold in front of him. A playtester for his latest project, Baby Steps, was struggling to navigate the game’s lead—Nate, a 35-year-old “failson” in a stained onesie—up a slippery hill. Each time, the terrain proved to be too much, and Nate skidded uselessly down it. Foddy has a reputation for making onerous games that take a little bit of masochism to master. This was not one of those times. Neatly placed next to the slippery hill was a s
