For some background, Blue Prince is a PC (Windows/Mac) and Xbox/PlayStation puzzle game in which you inherit a 45-room mansion from your late, eccentric uncle, but to earn it, you must reach the rumoured 46th room. The twist is, all the rooms reset every day (except a couple permanent rooms), so every time you come to a door, three blueprints (get it, Blue Prince) are drawn like cards from a deck, and you choose the one you want. Some are dead ends, some have goodies, and some have traps. (Sort of.)

“There’s plenty of room to do Gunforged better than I did,” says its creator.

The Postal series is essentially the videogame equivalent of Uwe Boll’s filmography*. They’re notoriously awful—the last one we reviewed was Postal 3 in 2012, which earned a dismal 21%—and they keep happening for some reason. A new addition to the lineup was announced on December 3, in fact, called Postal: Bullet Heaven. And then approximately 24 hours later, everything went very sideways.

More fall out from the AI bullshit

Currently, only GOG and Itch are still selling this game.

It’s going to be such a hack job with this takeover.

I’m not comfortable having a unitary absolute monarchy sticking their fingers in my hobby.

Weird x86 chip is actually AMD-derived.

“An early thing we talked about with the devices we hope to build is, if you have this really smart AI that you trust to do things for you over long periods of time, to filter things out, be able to be contextually aware of when it should—not really bother you but when it should present information to you or ask for your input and it has this incredible contextual awareness of your whole life—you can then go for a vibe that is not like walking through Times Square and getting bumped into but sitting in the most beautiful cabin by a lake in the mountains and enjoying the peace and calm.”

Edit: After I posted this, I found out there are serious questions about how true any of this is. See here for more info. But also, self-serving propaganda is pretty strongly on-brand for anything in the “aRtIfIcIaL iNtElLiGeNce"(tm) space.

Microsoft also points out that the license related only to the source code, and “does not include commercial packaging or marketing materials”.

The latest plea for official Proton support started on Reddit, where Scout339v2 shared their screenshot of Rust running “on a server with EAC disabled to show that the game already works perfectly on Linux.” Disabling Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) is the key factor here, and part of a broader conversation where Facepunch and its Linux/Proton userbase don’t see eye-to-eye.

Due to the UK’s Online Safety Act implemented earlier this year, accessing my Bluesky DM’s now means I need to allow a third-party service to scan my face, ID, or bank card. Understandably, that gives me the willies. So I can either simply never look at my messages again, whip out the likeness of Norman Reedus, OR I can log on via a VPN. However, the days of this vastly preferable third option may be numbered.

“I think it’s better not to release something than to release something weird, so I don’t have any negative feelings about that,” Yoko said.

Just minutes before it was set to deliver its financial results for the first half of its 2025-26 fiscal year, Ubisoft mashed the brakes on the whole thing, postponing the release of its results to an unspecified future date.
