TikTok creator kxttydrea and Snorvix co-own and operate cross-platform Minecraft SMP Forgelands. AI-Generated.
This server is centered around a traditional SMP experience, but it also builds on that foundation with extra features that make the game easier to play and more fun over time. Players can claim land to protect their builds and resources from griefing, which lets them work on bigger projects without worry and gives everyone more creative freedom. For example, players can build houses, farms, or even large community projects safely. Beyond the main survival world, a central hub connects players to different game modes, including Lifesteal, Bedwars, and Bridges. This variety lets players enjoy many types of gameplay while staying connected to the main SMP world. Whether someone likes building and exploring, playing competitive minigames, or joining server-wide events, Forgelands gives opportunities for all these styles of play, making it easy for players to switch between activities whenever they want.

Why World of Warcraft on Console Suddenly Makes Sense
It’s been a long time since people were able to play WoW on a controller using third-party software, and lately it’s become especially popular on handheld devices like the Steam Deck. Despite that, there is still no official controller support for WoW. Especially last year, many people have speculated that ability pruning and general simplification are actually preparation for WoW eventually moving to consoles. The recent addition of a one button rotation only added fuel to that discussion. For most players who would use it, it wouldn’t really make a difference in performance anyway, since it’s clearly not aimed at endgame players.

This is how Fromsoftware ruined gaming for me
Among the games that we play, there are a few that we always talk about differently. In most cases, if you are older, those games are also older. For me, most of my favourite games are actually very old. For a long time, I didn’t have any new game that I considered as good as the old ones. Part of that was, of course, nostalgia, but part of it was the fact that games changed, and not all changes are good.

Beyond the Pixel The Golden Age of Spain Gaming Revolution in 2026
The global gaming map has traditionally been dominated by the giants of Silicon Valley, the meticulous studios of Japan, and the creative powerhouses of Northern Europe. However, as we move through 2026, a new contender has firmly established its seat at the high table: Spain. What was once seen as a secondary market, primarily known for its passionate players rather than its creators, has transformed into a critical hub for game development, esports innovation, and cloud-based gaming infrastructure. The Spanish gaming industry has transcended its "emerging" status, now contributing billions to the national GDP and employing over 100,000 highly skilled workers across a decentralized network of studios that stretch from the sun-drenched coast of Malaga to the creative heart of Barcelona.

It Wasn’t Worth It, Geoff... High Guard Impressions
(Intro) For anyone that watched the Game Awards in December, you know it ended on a very controversial trailer, from a development team we’ve never seen before. Highguard, a new first-person team-based hero shooter released on January 26th, and the lead up to this game was quite bizarre. After the reveal trailer wasn’t received well by the masses across the internet, the team was radio silent until three days before launch. And even now, on the release day we are now just getting some more media going over the gameplay heroes and much else. And while I personally wished a few other games at the award show were given the final trailer spot, the host Geoff hyped this game up quite a bit before showing the trailer; talking about how he played it himself and was very impressed, setting an expectation the likes of which Highguard had absolutely no chance of meeting. Which is a shame, but after playing the Highguard for a couple of days, while there are a few things about the game, I personally find interesting, in the end it doesn’t feel worth trying to slog through other elements of it just to enjoy those small moments. Sorry Geoff, but I don’t think putting Highguard last was worth it. But we’ll see in the long run.

When Is a Move Final?
The Commitment Problem in Modern Chess Modern chess operates under a fractured commitment model that no longer aligns with how players think, how turns function in most games, or how chess itself is actually played across physical and digital formats. At the heart of the problem is that chess treats physical contact with a piece as binding commitment while simultaneously relying on a separate explicit action to end a player’s turn. This creates a logical contradiction: a move becomes final before the turn is over. In most turn-based games, interaction with game components is provisional until the player explicitly signals the end of their turn. Chess is an anomaly in this respect, and the inconsistency becomes increasingly visible in modern play.
