Mixing together elements of RimWorld and Terraria, the open world survival crafting game Necesse has a huge graphics overhaul update out now. Work on this graphics overhaul has been going on for over a year, with the developer pulling in two new artists to make it happen. Another great thing about this update being live now, is that the "artists are no longer playing catch-up with the content updates" so we can expect to see much quicker updates and larger updates in future once again.

Analgesic Productions have opened up the full source code for their 2D-3D action-adventure game Anodyne 2: Return to Dust. This is a Source Available release, not to be confused with true Open Source, since it's using a custom license with certain restrictions. However, it does effectively make the entire game free (if you build it yourself), since it also includes all the assets. This is the same thing the developer did with the first Anodyne game and also with Even the Ocean as well.

Super reaKtor is a unique bullet hell where you absorb various orbs using your laser beam, and while the idea is great it really did annihilate my brain. The developer, SuperSAZ Studio, just put up a demo on Steam (with Linux support) and this has to be one of the most interesting versions of a bullet hell I've seen for some time. I gave it a brief highlight a month ago, curious with how it would actually feel and now I've had the chance to play, I love it — but wow is it surprisingly difficult to get to grips with.

Regarding the women on “Tyler Perry’s Sistas,” everyone in the crew drives us nuts. It’s almost like, did you watch an episode if you didn’t have a moment, or a few, yelling at the women on screen as if you knew them? Lately, those moments have been frequent when it comes to Andi, who never managed to get Gary out of her life, even when there were obvious signs that she definitely shouldn’t have trusted him and needed to take drastic action like a restraining order, or at least going to authorities about his behavior. Now it’s too late, and she is knee-deep in a hell of her own making. For someone who is a smart, ambitious lawyer, she makes less than smart decisions often when it comes to Gary, and it’s hard to get through an episode without more questions and no answers. So, if you were dear Andrea Barnes’ girlfriend, how would you handle her behavior lately? You’d chat with her to get to the bottom of how she has been moving, right? Here are six questions that need answers from Andi as soon as possible.

If there is one filmmaking trick to have up your sleeve on a no-budget production, it’s the ability to shoot day for night. This is when you shoot a night scene during the day, and color it in post to make it appear as if it were actually night.

Another week, another set of great cats who right now, at this very minute are hanging out at a Kansas City shelter (or a foster home), waiting for you to discover them. First up is Rain who is currently at Great Plains SPCA sound asleep, despite the barking dogs in the distance. She's a youngster, just one year old and you'll find that she's shy at first. Give her a little patience and some time to acclimate to her new environment, and you'll find that you'd be hard pressed to finer a sweeter, or cuter, cat.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
