This $1,500 robot cooks dinner while I work

As I'm sitting in my office writing this review, delicious, cheesy, garlicky scents are wafting up the stairs. I can hear whizzing and whirring, and the occasional clunk, as a robot chef in my kitchen is making macaroni and cheese.

The best thing I bought this year: a portable mechanical keyboard

As a writer, I take the tools of my trade relatively seriously. I’m not crazy enough to drop $3,600 on a keyboard, but I also find typing on a MacBook for extended periods of time deeply unsatisfying — and distracting. So this spring, I started looking into distraction-free writing setups, which included an e-reader / […]

The Rogue Prince of Persia parkours around Hades in its own roguelite lane

In a year where Hades II dominated the roguelite headlines, Evil Empire's The Rogue Prince of Persia slipped by largely unnoticed.This is the second time Supergiant's game overshadowed The Rogue Prince, with both titles entering early access at similar times last year.In fact, the story you may best remember of Evil Empire's game was the frothing criticism of the Prince's art style – a unique blend influenced by Arabic miniatures, Mœbius comics, and the purple-skinned sprites from the 1990 PC CGA port of the first Prince of Persia game.
