Mount & Blade studio co-founder Ipek Yavuz just passed away. She was only 54 years old.

Their duo with Armagan Yavuz made a very unique series possible despite not many initially believed in the such a mix of genres. Her most recent achievement is the release of the big War Sails DLC for Mount & Blade 2 (came out last year).

PlayStation Network went offline for hours in a row, proving that offline gaming is a must. Most of the new games aren't working at all when servers are down.

Google made Jimothy Easter egg: he now appears running in search window!

According to scientists, there are actually least two of them, not one.

After a few days of trial and error, I have found the perfect all-around local model (can run from LM Studio or any other environment):

The knowledge is limited to January of 2024 but you can easily feed it with the data. Nearly instant on modern RTX cards, fairly usable even on Ryzen 6800U handhelds.

And yes, that's not a generative AI, just an LLM with fairly good quality to performance ratio and decent tech issues solving skills. This version is unlocked, so you can discuss nearly anything without hitting the censorship wall

Godot Engine was in parity last year when Unity developers got into the show a bit late. This year Godot clearly wins.
