NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

I was a little sad when I heard that the great puzzle game maker Zachtronics was closing, but then they opened a new studio and started making more puzzle games lol. "This is a Coincidence game, which is a totally legally distinct game studio." www.pcgamer.com/games/puzzle...

AI thought leader types are declaring war on ‘the humanities’ for not loving Chat-GPT enough and demanding things like ‘a benchmark for creativity’ …it’s pretty interesting. Like one of those 4X game factions that’s into tech but also wears robes.

spent a casual 80 hours in Monster Hunter Wilds over the last two weeks for this review, in which I extoll the timeless virtues of the hammer, mourn the loss of the Meowscular Chef, and delight in a more bureaucratic Hunter's Guild: www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

I remember people taking “IQ” seriously when I was a kid, but then for a while it seemed like we’d dismissed the idea and the term was just shorthand for “smart.” Now I see it used everywhere, across political lines, to signal a new belief in hard metaphysical limits on thinking.

Pretty wild that you can now communicate directly with the most powerful people in the world via posting, but they know so little and are so delusional that you may as well be talking to a bucket of clams.

At D.I.C.E. Summit this week, Obsidian said that it sets a game's budget with the assumption that it will be a "mild success," not a massive hit, and plans to keep at it for at least 100 years. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ob...

Mostly because no one specifically told me not to, I'm currently live-blogging my annual simulation of the Super Bowl over on PC Gamer. To be clear: you can't watch the simulation live, but you can watch me blog about it live. www.pcgamer.com/games/live/n...

Civ 7 reviews are up. I agree with Rob Zak's assessment here. Interesting changes, not all for the better, and I think Civ 5/6 players will find a lot to miss. I'm enjoying it in the dopey just-playing-with-my-little-soldiers way that I always enjoy these games in. www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

I like what I've played of Civ 7 so far, but I'm also aware that I'm easier to please than the real 4X sickos out there. I think there'll be a bit of a brawl over it. www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

So, so sad to have lost Gordon Mah Ung. May he keep giving Apple shit forever from the afterlife. If you ever read his work -- he was the beating heart of Maximum PC for many many years before writing clearly and insightfully for many more at PC World -- please consider donating to his family.

So yeah I played a bunch of Elden Ring: Nightreign in Tokyo last week and had a good time with it, though I’m not 100% sold on the e map’s replayability yet. Tried to get as many details down in this explainer, but anyone is welcome to ask questions not answered here and if I know I’ll tell you!

While everyone else is busy putting things on the computer, did you know we still take games from the computer and print them on paper every month? We call it a magazine and @robertnjones.bsky.social will mail it to you personally (he's very busy). Here's the latest issue.

At PC Gamer we've been talking about how to convey the scale of 16,000+ game devs being laid off in a year, without forgetting that number represents individual people with their own stories. This is our first attempt: 16,000 dots, alongside voices of those affected. www.pcgamer.com/the-impact-o...
