Helldivers 2 players died over 10 million times taking one planet, Mort, from the Automatons last week, and you'd better believe that galactic D&D game master Joel was watching the whole thing from the front row with a bucket of popcorn in one hand and a waving lighter in the other.
This Attack on Titan-inspired Palworld city is one of the survival game's best and biggest builds yet, and took a staggering 2 weeks to make with no mods

Presumably not ready to leave Attack on Titan behind after its anime finale, one Palworld player has recreated the series' iconic central city on a massive scale, purportedly without the use of any mods to make things easier.
Reddit user Commercial_Neck8986 shared their finished city with the survival game's community a few days ago, following up on multiple previous posts chronicling the build's progress. Just two weeks ago, all they had was a proof-of-concept starter area for Paradis Island. That soon ballooned to an expansive town with elaborate neighborhoods, multiple layers of walls, and a multi-level castle.
It's fascinating to watch the in-progress videos back, like counting the rings on a tree. You can see how the land's been terraformed to suit Commercial_Neck's vision, which was, in a word, big. There's no telling how many individual buildings the finished city contains, how much stone went into them, or how many hours it took to construct it all.
Commercial_Neck said in their post that it "took me two weeks to finish" without using any mods, and I'm ready to believe them. I've also reached out to them hoping to talk through the design process for this enormous build, and will update this story if I hear any fun details.
The big challenge here is that, because this city far exceeds the size of a Palbox that lets you build from your inventory, Commercial_Neck would've had to transport a lot of building materials by hand, and stone is a notoriously heavy material in Palworld (and, I suppose, real life). One bit of good news is that you can now move just a little bit even while massively encumbered, but that's still a lot of stone.
"No mods, carried enough stone to not [go] overweight," Commercial_Neck explained in a Reddit reply. "Good thing trees are present everywhere so I just chop off some wood for the roofing."
"I made a storage near the Palbox and transport from point A to point B," they added. "A lot of return trips tbh."
What awaits you at the peak of Palcity? Deep in the halls of its crowning castle, past the vault and doors where impossible builds may happen, you'll find mankind's one true throne: a nice porcelain toilet, in this case from Palworld's unlockable bathroom cosmetic set. At least Commercial_Neck didn't have to go back to their normal base for potty breaks, I guess.
Now they just need to get a giant, bugged Pal and the Attack on Titan look will be complete.

Helldivers 2 got so big that its virtual D&D master Joel needed "emergency" assistance: "He's only one guy, and he was just not sleeping ... sending me messages at 4am"
Helldivers 2's dynamic warfront is being conducted almost exclusively by a single D&D-style game master named Joel, but the co-op shooter's explosive launch has gotten so big that Joel needed "emergency" reinforcements of his own within developer Arrowhead Game Studios.

MMO community celebrates beloved player's release from hell after a truly filthy 2,500-hour Old School RuneScape grind: "I'm astounded at the sheer willpower"
Old School RuneScape – and also regular RuneScape – developer Jagex has a new corporate owner, but it's business as usual for the MMO's community, which is still hard at work finishing grinds that nobody, not one soul on this Earth, asked or expected them to actually do. The latest landmark achievement comes from well-liked content creator Limpwurt, who's finally emerged from a self-imposed grind that started some 2,500 hours of game time ago in August 2023, but at least he's got a really cool cape and a baby mole to show for it.

Helldivers 2 escort missions are out of control, but we're in this together so the community's desperately trying to help their fellow recruits stay alive
Helldivers, we have yet another problem. Despite their best efforts, some Helldivers 2 recruits – and I'm not just talking about new cadets, who get the benefit of the doubt – are really struggling with the escort missions currently dominating the Automaton warfront. I get it, they're hard. Arguably too hard on occasion, the occasion being, almost every single one on any remotely high difficulty. But the bugs and bots ain't going anywhere and neither are escort missions, so we're gonna have to get through this together. Luckily, the community's been hard at work sharing helpful tips for escorting civilians while keeping their insides inside at least 25% of the time.

Nintendo takes Switch emulator Yuzu to court in major lawsuit, alleging it fueled 1 million illegal downloads of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom before release
Prolific Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu is the latest to receive a lawsuit from Nintendo, and it's a big one. The house of Mario alleges that the program fueled a rush that saw The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom illegally downloaded over 1 million times before the game was properly released, and that's just one item on Nintendo's laundry list of alleged damages, which collectively take aim at a major emulator in a way that's rarely seen, even from such a famously litigious company, drawing many comparisons to Sony's lawsuit against Bleem.

"The biggest revolution in gaming in decades" is a $180 AI-powered fart box that makes your room smell of blood, gunfire, explosions, and – seriously – "clean air"
Technology, as storied author Ursula K. Le Guin noted in a prescient 2005 post, is not limited to high-tech hardware but also encompasses the likes of paper, furniture, medicine, and much more. I would go further and argue that some outwardly high-tech hardware should not be classified as technology, and I will now point any naysayers to the GameScent Automated Gaming Scent Atomizer, a $180 AI-powered box that will fart out smells designed to match whatever game you're currently playing.
