There's something about sci-fi horror that hits all the buttons for me. Derelict spaceships the size of cities, creatures engineered by science or nature to be perfect predators and the claustrophobia of space all manage to get me excited every time. The Alien franchise made me fall in love with this sub-genre, along with gems like Dark City and Event Horizon. One of my lesser-known favorites is Pandorum. Released in 2009, it's a claustrophobic trip into space where a mechanic wakes up on a col

Valve has apparently updated its Steam Early Access policy to no longer accept games with what the company deems to be "mature themes." As first reported by Gamesmarkt earlier this month, gaming studio Dammitbird, which develops the adult adventure game Heavy Hearts, was not allowed to put the title on Steam Early Access because of its content.

With web publishers in crisis, a new open standard lets them set the ground rules for AI scrapers. (Or, at least it will try.) The new Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard creates terms that participants expect AI companies to abide by. Although enforcement is an open question, it can't hurt that some heavy hitters back it. Among others, the list includes Reddit, Yahoo (Engadget's parent company), Medium and People Inc.

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted. His past few years in non-Tesla activities include: buying and renaming Twitter; going all in on President Donald Trump’s election campaign and then an obscure Wisconsin Supreme Court race; a lot of babymaking, plus attendant drama; and months spent standing up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

It's a major escalation in the firm's increasingly desperate attempts to encourage its highly divisive leader to stick around and stay attentive.
