An Associated Press report says Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky has been sentenced to eight years in prison after being found guilty of spreading false information about the Russian military in online posts.

Charges were first leveled against Glukhovsky in June 2022, a few months after the Russian government outlawed independent reporting and protest of the invasion of Ukraine. The charges appeared to arise from a March 12 Instagram post in which Glukhovsky invoked the city of Mariupol, which stood for months as a focal point of Ukrainian resistance, and called on readers to “recognize that this is a real war against an entire nation and stop it!”

Glukhovsky was found guilty of posting text and video messages on his social media channels accusing Russian soldiers of comm…

An unexpected connection of the dots—as discovered by Reddit user Mr_Twiddles—has given us a window into the fascinating moon logic of Starfield’s economy. While Mr_Twiddles was misled by an admittedly convincing fan-made ship I wrote about earlier this month, they weren’t far off. 

The patty melt, which restores a whole 15 health, is priced at 295 credits. One starship from the gameplay deep dive is priced at 15,950 credits. That prices the starship at around 54 sandwiches, which either means starships are dirt cheap, or these melts are the equivalent of gold bars. 

I’m now thinking back to that one sandwich hoarder from the direct—we all saw her fascination as a zany personal quest, like hoarding cheese wheels in Skyrim, but I actually think she…

I know Fallout is the big topic of conversation when it comes to Bethesda these days, but let’s pull our eyes away from that flickering Radiation King and focus on The Elder Scrolls for a moment. It’ll be quite a while before we see The Elder Scrolls 6, but in the meantime we’ve been eagerly anticipating the rebirth of one of the earlier TES games: Morrowind.

Skywind, the mod remaking Morrowind in Skyrim’s engine, has been in the works almost since the moment Skyrim was released in 2011. In the years since, a team of volunteer modders have been diligently working on the ambitious project, and a new video released today lays out the history of the mod, how much has been done, and how much work is still ahead.

No, that release date we’re all hungry for still hasn’t been announ…

Stardew Valley developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has a habit of being pretty quiet on social media, so when he does speak up everyone pays attention. Today he tweeted just two words: “iridium scythe” which is a nod to a tool upgrade apparently long-desired by way more players than I’d anticipated.

Last we heard, Barone was taking a hiatus from development on his next game Haunted Chocolatier to focus on a 1.6 update for Stardew Valley. At the time, Barone said that 1.6 is “mostly changes for modders” but that it would include some content updates too. So the obvious guess is that he’s planning to add a new harvesting tool tier in that eventual update.

Stardew Valley’s scythe is initially used to harvest grass for crafting or feeding animals and is als…
