Interested and want to get the most out of the site? Here are Stuff’s top tips and tricks for getting started with Bluesky, and ensuring you have a great time while doing so. Get…

PlayStation 4 is over ten years old. Time is a construct, true, but a decade has seemingly passed in an instant. Probably because the years have bled into one after playing God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 far too much. Want to feel really old?

As someone who’s lived in the area for years and watched the old News Lounge space change hands over and over, I was cautiously optimistic when renovations for a new concept began more than a year ago. A vegetarian restaurant wasn’t high on my wishlist of new neighborhood spots.  Still, the charming outdoor patio with its thatched roof and swaying basket lanterns lured me, along with aromas of potent espresso and fresh-baked pastries. Flora, it turned…

Games consoles come and go, but one thing is certain: clever engineers deep inside Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are hard at work on a new console generation. It’s a rhythm that’s been pulsing away since even before the NES and Master System. The current generation has been in play since the announcement of the PS5 in 2019, and is gearing up for its second phase now that Sony has the PS5 Pro. But disappointing sales of the regular console, even in the face of the refreshed PS5 Slim, suggest a full-on replacement can’t be much further away. The Japanese electronics…
