Call of Duty won’t release Modern Warfare or Black Ops back to back anymore

I set out to write about what I think all these “HD-2D” games mean and found in them a beautifully futile desire to make games that will not someday look old and embarrassing

It’s ugly, it’s beautiful, it’s how you know a game might be a classic
Part modern, part retro.

Big change coming to Reddit: it's "moving away" from r/popular in favor of "better, more relevant and personalized feeds," according to CEO Steve Huffman. But the company isn't saying much yet about what those new feeds might look like.

Reddit’s CEO says r/popular ‘sucks,’ and it’s going away
Instead, Reddit wants to show users more personalized feeds.

So. Remember when Valve announced a VR headset that also plays Windows games?

Remember when I played a Windows copy of Silksong on my Android phone?

Valve planted the seeds for *all* of that. It's the same technology. Valve is behind Fex. www.theverge.com/report/82065...
