Nokia phones brand is discontinued — the legendary Finnish phones will no longer be produced by its current owner HMD Global.

For me it's a huge part of my own story with years of IT journalism that began with the Nokia N8 launch. Look at this young fella, he still has hopes and dreams!

A tiny update: Flatout Ultimate Carnage is still awesome, grab it on sale, especially for handhelds!

It has been updated in 2024 (after 12 years of silence). They got rid of GFWL online service, added Steam achievements, and fixed it for modern platforms.

My biggest disappointment is soundtrack: Flatout 2 had Yellowcard, Nickelback, Papa Roach, Fallout Boy, and Rob Zombie, while UC has none of them. The music is a little generic, but okay.

Yes, please, can they stop Fortnite-ifying EVERY DAMN THING?

According to the Blender foundation, RTX 5090 is about 30% faster in Cycles rendering than 4090. This seems to be almost the same for 5090D (a special Chinese model with limited AI and some other features).

TikTok is banned in the US. But since the country doesn't have an efficient targeted system, they also accidentally blocked Marvel Snap and some other stuff along the way.

With all my personal negative feelings towards TikTok as a brain rot platform, it was extremely efficient for indie games marketing. And it seems that Trump is planning to restore it later on.

House of Cards moment: TikTok is available again in the US and referencing Trump.

Fun fact: Trump was the initial person behind the first attempt to ban TikTok during his first term. And now MAGIC MOMENT — he's the savior 🌚

That's a dedication! 😮

According to my experience: when someone is banned for creating by me or teams where I used to work, they were cheating. And they will cheat again.

Epic Games shared their vision of color theory, to highlight the path of the pixel from textures to the screen:

This one is still valid after all these years: be wise if you are looking for a publisher!

— What areas can they cover
— Is it better than self publishing
— How are THEY funded
— Is their PR internal
— Do they have global presence
— What are your terms
— Never sell your IP

And it's very nice to see a publisher saying this. Don't fall for the first deal you've got under any terms they offer.

Switch 2 is significantly bigger than the original one. Keep that in mind if you are willing to buy one.
