gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-26 06:21:15

Magic: The Gathering is having an even bigger moment than usual this year, thanks to a lot of attention around its splashy crossovers and its rapid rollout of sets. But with that attention, there’s definitely been some consternation about just how wide-reaching Magic‘s aesthetic is getting, between experimental in-universe sets and those aforementioned “Universes Beyond” bringing more and more licensed material into the game.

How the 'Minecraft' Score Became Big Business for Its Composer

news.ycombinator.com Kristin Robinson 2026-01-02 12:48:54

In 2009, in between full-time shifts at a local factory, then-19-year-old musician Daniel Rosenfeld composed a score for an independent video game. “It was just a side hustle, maybe not even that. It was a hobby, really,” explains Rosenfeld, who records under the name C418. The game, Minecraft, turned out to be successful beyond Rosenfeld’s wildest dreams. In 2014, Microsoft purchased Minecraft’s Swedish developer, Mojang Studios, for $2.5 billion, and through 2023, it had sold 300 million copi

My Family and the Flood

news.ycombinator.com Aaron Parsley 2026-01-15 20:07:47

Rosemary, the four-year-old, woke up first. She told my brother-in-law, Lance, that there was something on the roof. Seven of us were at my family’s river house on the Guadalupe, between Ingram and Hunt, for the Fourth. Our little stretch of river is wide, green, cool, deep, and slow. It is some of the best swimming anywhere and one of the most beautiful spots in Texas, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve spent many peaceful afternoons there, floating and staring up at the cypress trees that tower ov

Encounters with Reality on Christine Rosen's the Extinction of Experience

news.ycombinator.com Regina Munch 2026-02-27 08:52:38

When I was fourteen, my family went on a Caribbean cruise. I have always been allergic to the idea of going somewhere for the explicit purpose of “having a good time.” But that’s exactly what a cruise—at least this particular kind of cruise—is: a never-ending parade of convenient entertainment and diversion. Gorge yourself at breakfast; use the coupon in your welcome bag for a mid-morning massage; have lunch brought to your table at the pool; shop luxury brands on the promenade in the afternoon;

Apple explores new technique to make AI better match users’ writing styles

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-07 06:10:50

As more users start relying on AI for writing tasks like email drafts and document summaries, one common frustration remains: the output often sounds way too generic. Even when models like ChatGPT or Gemini are given detailed prompts, they rarely nail a user’s individual tone or voice without plenty of manual tweaking. Apple is now proposing a solution. In a new research paper (Aligning LLMs by Predicting Preferences from User Writing Samples) to be presented at the International Conference on

Steam finally goes native on Apple Silicon, here’s how to try it

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-17 07:53:33

After a years-long wait, Steam for Mac is finally a native Apple Silicon app. Or about to be. Valve quietly rolled out the new version as part of a beta update, and you can try it right now. Until now, Steam has relied entirely on Rosetta 2 to function on Apple Silicon Macs. To many users, that meant extra overhead, slower performance, and a clunky experience across the board, especially in the Chromium-based UI that powers much of the Steam client. And now with the Rosetta 2 sunset on the hor
