Supporters | Off-Topic: The travel show magic of Footy Scran
Authentic bangers.
I don't have the greatest of relationships with Twitter. It's wormed its way into the cracks of my life now, weeding out and up into the in-between moments, the time when the human brain is supposed to be empty, supposed to be just taking a sec to recover. Queues, coffee breaks, compulsive tab-switches between bursts of work. I am perennially in the process of phasing it out - and then, magic. The latest is an account that's not just an occasional day-brightener but something more, something worryingly close to obsession. That is: Footy Scran.

Plus: are Elden Ring PC recommended specs in any way meaningful or helpful?
The latest DF Direct Weekly has landed - and it's a first.

There's also discussion on why we chose not to take another look at the game on PC: ultimately, our settings recommendations remain the same, even though ray traced local shadows have been added to the game in addition to all of the other RT loveliness already contained therein.

Feature | There's a game about straightening wonky pictures and it's a joy
Neat.
You're at a friends' house having dinner and they need another fork, and they ask you to get it. So you get up, go to the cutlery drawer and open it - and you freeze. Look at the state of that!

You saw their bookcase when you came in, you saw their shoe rack. Chaos! Utter chaos. Why can't they just tidy it up!

Supporters | Podcast: The story of Heaven's Vault maker Inkle
80 yays.
I've had a soft spot for Inkle ever since playing Sorcery! on my old banger of an iPhone many years ago, and I've been delighted by every single game it has made since. Games like 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Overboard! and Pendragon - games that wield words masterfully.

Digital Foundry | Cyberpunk 2077's next-gen patch tested on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles
The Digital Foundry verdict.
Welcome back to Cyberpunk 2077, a game transformed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. The prior 'back-compat plus' versions of the game yield to a brand-new rendition based on current-gen SDKs, allowing CD Projekt RED to fully tap into the capabilities of the new wave of consoles. This is a game with a troubled history and this new 1.5 upgrade delivers both 30fps ray tracing and an enhanced 60fps performance mode, combined with other current-gen improvements such as improved loading times - but how much of an upgrade do users actually get?
