Part 2: How Subnautica 2 got its CEO back Welcome back to the strange tale of video game publisher Krafton, the bonus they really didn't want to pay to developer Unknown Worlds, and the contract dispute that delayed release of the much-anticipated game Subnautica 2. In part 1, we learned the back story behind the tense relationships, and the terms of the contract. Here in part 2, Jenessa walks us through the absolute bench-slap from a judge who has had it up to here with Krafton's transparent attempts to breach the contract now and justify it later.

Existe uma sensação crescente de que algo mudou no mercado de PCs, mesmo que nem sempre seja fácil apontar exatamente o quê. Decisões que antes pareciam simples começaram a exigir mais cuidado, e aquela lógica mais direta de montar um setup já não funciona da mesma forma.É a partir dessa percepção que a gente puxa a conversa neste episódio do Diocast. Ao lado de Diego Kerber, do Adrenaline, a proposta é olhar com mais atenção para os sinais que o mercado vem dando, principalmente aqueles que costumam passar batido.A gente debate mudanças no comportamento do mercado e novas formas de consumir tecnologia, como o crescimento dos consoles portáteis, incluindo o Steam Deck e o ROG Ally, além de decisões de hardware que começam a gerar resultados diferentes na prática. Também entramos nessa desconexão entre expectativa e realidade, que fica mais evidente quando tentamos aplicar hoje fórmulas que funcionavam bem até pouco tempo atrás.-https://diolinux.com.br/podcast/pc-baratinho-morreu-com-diego-kerber.html#Diocast #Diolinux #DiegoKerber #Adrenaline #PCBaratinho #PCGamerBarato #MontarPC #Hardware2026 #PCdeEntrada #ConfigPC #SteamDeck #Tecnologia #Linux #PodcastTech #HardwareBrasil

Vom Handy bis zum Smart-Kühlschrank: Der Chip-Mangel ist in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen. In diesem Talk gehen unser Hardware-Urgestein Nils Raettig und Tech-Redakteur Jan Stahnke nicht nur auf die steigenden Preise ein, sondern suchen gemeinsam mit der Community nach Auswegen.

Relooted, an African-developed game about black people heisting museums for artifacts to return them to the cultures from which they came, released to a resounding 57 players on Steam. Despite being an utter failure for “modern audiences,” Kotaku and PC Gamer are covering the game as if it's actually popular. We discuss the situation along with TheGamer's complaints about Overwatch's new female hero design, RuneScape going woke, and the delay of the third Horizon game due to a spinoff no one asked for.

Photo by Aneta Pawlik on Unsplash Published 26 January 2026 e540 with Michael, Andy and Michael – Stories and discussion on mobile controllers, AI playing Anchorhead, Zork & Roller Coaster Tycoon, an isometric NYC, human artistic creativity and a whole lot more. Michael, Andy and Michael get things clicking with some mobile controllers.  Starting with one of Andy's latest technology acquisitions, the team enjoys hearing about Andy's experience with the MCON.  And they especially like the “saucer separation” functionality.  The featured image from Unsplash was selected because there were very few TNG images – if you want to see the saucer separation that inspired this week's show title, have a look at the YouTube video below.  After discussing the Anbernic controller, which has some interesting features like a screen and heart rate monitoring, the team moves forward with AI. Claude features in a couple of the stories – first with an article from Fernando Borretti who details how he hooked Claude into the text based adventure Anchorhead.  The co-hosts have been intrigued by this kind of thing for years, and were reminded of the recent open sourcing of Zork.  Ramp Labs also used Claude with Roller Coaster Tycoon, which struck the team as a great way to run optimization routines across a multitude of data points that make us the game.  Next up was a story about using AI to create a SimCity-style rendition of New York City (New York City!) with astounding detail.  There were a couple of jumping off points of note from this story – Nvidia's Omniverse digital twin, traffic optimization routines and another being the language in SimCity called Simlish – and a translator is included below for the listeners to enjoy. After all the news on AI – it is refreshing though unsurprising that Hermès selected human creativity, complete with the imperfections that make the artwork more real.  Wrapping up the episode, the team closes with Netflix's foray into social engagement. What game would you like to have AI set up to play?  Have your bots

Online game design veteran Raph Koster recently posted a new piece about how he thinks about game design, which got us talking about the history of online multiplayer, so then we figured, why not talk about that subject in a (slightly) more comprehensive way on this podcast? So that's what we did this week, dipping into topics like pre-TCP/IP network gaming, the early video game consoles' various half-baked online solutions, how Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies were both way ahead of their time, how much the infrastructure has evolved for facilitating multiplayer -- and how expected it is as a feature these days -- and plenty more.Koster's new piece: https://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/PC Gamer's Everquest history: https://www.pcgamer.com/breaking-the-internet-the-story-of-everquest-the-mmo-that-changed-everything/Dreamcast online functionality and Sega.net history (with links to similar pages for PS2, GameCube etc. at the bottom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_online_functionality Support the Pod!
