Leading off this week, a terrific story from Eurogamer about people using games to effect positive change in their lives: From virtual to reality: the people who reshaped their lives thanks to video game simulators.
From Dave Y., and it's for curling fans: Broomgate 2.0: New sweeping controversy comes to a head at WFG Masters.
From DQ Story Advisor John Harwood, and it's delightful: Interstellar Docking Scene – Recreated in LEGO // Blender Animation.
From Wally, and it's the first of many (in reference to board games): Tariffs Are Driving Up Game Prices Now.
From Leo M., and it's staggeringly beautiful: Tuesday Telescope: Does this Milky Way image remind you of Powers of 10? Also: New MeerKAT radio image reveals complex heart of the Milky Way.
From C. Lee, and it's a deep dive: Is The U.S. About To Go To War With Iran? A thoughtful analysis: The powerful force behind Trump’s tariffs. Unsurprising: Trump Supporter Mel Gibson Will Have Gun Rights Restored: Report. We're a kleptocracy now: Big brands are spending small sums on X to stay out of Musk’s crosshairs. One of many possible nefarious uses: AI Can Now Make Fake Receipts—Restaurants and Retailers Beware. Excellent: A guide to the 4 minerals shaping the world’s energy future. Concerning: What's in that bright red fire retardant? No one will say, so we had it tested. There's no compelling reason for this to happen: Toxic dust on Mars would present serious hazard for astronauts. This is incredibly unfortunate: “They curdle like milk”: WB DVDs from 2006–2008 are rotting away in their cases. So true: Nah, Man: It's not Nintendo's fault, but 2025 sure is a time. The Digital Antiquarian comes through yet again: The CRPG Renaissance, Part 5: Fallout 2 and Baldur’s Gate. This is incredibly kind: Nurse opens hotel catering to terminally ill patients. I agree; we are no longer considered reliable partners: The American Age Is Over.
