After 43 hours of consecutive work GPT-6 Astra becomes the first LLM to clear the S tier.
Astra now has only 4 hours left to try to win against Pluto, the best human created StarCraft bot in the world.

I think it's quite possible that the Warcraft 3 Reigh of Chaos main menu has the most aura of any game menu of all time.

Time for the 5.0.17 PTR! Based on feedback for the last patch, we are rolling back most balance changes to 5.0.15, while keeping bug fixes and the current map pool. This will be on PTR for the next few days while we bug test, before we push to live.

If I was stuck in an era of gaming forever, I would choose this one (late 90s).
What about you? Locked in forever... what time would you pick?

One of the best eras of PC gaming. Staying up way too late hunting for loot in Diablo, building your base in StarCraft, or spending hours playing Warcraft III.
Those big game boxes on the shelf, the glow of the CRT, and weekends spent getting lost in these worlds. So many good memories. Would love to experience those days all over again.

I've said it for years: video games are massively underrated. Unlike TV or phones, the data on people who play videos games casually is surprisingly good.
It's people who are addicted to them and play them compulsively that give them a bad reputation.
Playing Super Mario 64 for 30 minutes a day for two months physically grew the brains of the people who played it. A 2014 study in Molecular Psychiatry scanned participants before and after two months of daily play and found increases in grey matter in three regions involved in memory, planning, and fine motor control.
The study was led by Simone Kuhn at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. She gave 23 adults a Nintendo DS and told them to play Super Mario 64 for at least 30 minutes a day for two months. A control group played nothing. MRI scans taken before and after showed that the Mario group had measurable increases in grey matter in the right hippocampus, the right prefrontal cortex, and the cerebellum, and the increases were not found in the control group.
The hippocampus is where the brain stores spatial maps. Super Mario 64 is a game built entirely around navigating three-dimensional space, jumping between platforms, remembering which doors lead where, and building a mental model of a world that does not exist. The brain treats a virtual world the same way it treats a real one: it maps it, stores it, and grows to accommodate it.
The prefrontal cortex handles planning and strategy, which the game demands constantly. The cerebellum handles timing and coordination, which every jump requires. The brain was not just entertained. It was being trained, and the tissue responded the same way muscle responds to a weight: it got bigger.
Kuhn said the results suggest that video game training could be used as a therapy for conditions where these brain regions are reduced, including post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and age-related brain shrinkage. The prescription is a plumber in a red hat, 30 minutes a day. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2416…
