Yes, technically you can play World of Warcraft with hot dogs

Addison2k uses hot dogs as unconventional controllers to play World of Warcraft, navigating the game with a setup that includes 3D-printed controllers housing four hot dogs wired for touch input. One hot dog controls movement while another manages abilities, but limitations arise, such as the inability to control camera movement. During gameplay, he occasionally resorts to traditional keyboard controls for specific actions. His fellow players support him with humor, teasing about the absurdity of the situation. Addison2k successfully completes the game, but notes that his hands smelled like hot dogs afterward.

If you’re finding Resident Evil: Requiem a bit scary, why not mod it to make the enemies tiny

Resident Evil: Requiem features a mod called the Enemies Scale Modifier, created by modder lucablight83, which allows players to adjust enemy sizes, making them smaller or larger, thus adding humor to the horror gameplay. This mod requires the installation of the RE Framework and enables players to scale enemies down to 10% or up to 300% of their original size. It introduces comedic elements while maintaining gameplay challenges, such as aiming at miniaturized foes. Additionally, there are other mods available that enhance the game with humorous elements, like transforming Leon's Porsche into a driveable hamburger, or introduce serious challenges, such as zombie bites that infect players. A VR mod is also available for an immersive experience.

I might have a reason to press my Copilot key as this absurd Windows 11 app adds some comic relief: “I can’t stop laughing”

Microsoft has announced plans for new Windows PCs that will include a dedicated Copilot key, marking a significant change to the Windows keyboard in 30 years. The option to remap this key in Windows 11 has been temporarily suspended to prevent bugs. The developer community has created a utility called NoCopilotKey to revert the key to its original function as the right-side CTRL key. Additionally, an app called TypeFart produces humorous sounds with keystrokes but does not allow users to assign unique sounds to specific keys. Microsoft has clarified that outdated language in Copilot's terms of use, which suggested it was for entertainment purposes only, will be updated to reflect its current capabilities. The company is also working on improvements for Windows 11, including the return of the movable Taskbar and better integration of Copilot.

Apple’s chips are the core of a new landscape, but its biggest win is Windows

Apple introduced its M1 Apple Silicon systems in late 2020, which received admiration but raised concerns due to a restrictive ecosystem. Over five years, Apple’s architecture has evolved, addressing challenges like gigabit Wi-Fi and high-speed expansion, yet it remains focused on desktops and laptops. The anticipated MacBook Neo, lacking an M-type System on Chip, has created apprehension within the Windows ecosystem. Currently, no Windows laptop can match the MacBook Neo in hardware quality and startup experience, while macOS offers a more tranquil workspace compared to the distractions of Windows 11. Apple has effectively utilized advancements in processor technology and manufacturing control to produce efficient chips and maintain a coherent ecosystem, making its products increasingly accessible. In contrast, Windows OEMs face challenges with component sourcing, build quality, and reliance on bloatware. There is potential for Microsoft to create a Windows Neo variant that meets user needs, while the sustainability of current business models for Windows OEMs is uncertain.

What is the Microsoft Windows game that Iran is ‘using’ to tease Donald Trump

The United States and Iran are engaging in digital tensions, with Iranian embassies using social media for pointed critiques of President Trump. A notable instance occurred when the Iranian consulate in Mazar-i-Sharif shared a satirical video combining gameplay from the 90s game Minesweeper with a map of the Strait of Hormuz, humorously highlighting Trump's navigation efforts. The video features animated explosions and sarcastic text, emphasizing the risks associated with US navigation in the strategically important waterway. Iran has stated it deployed mines in the Strait of Hormuz to control maritime traffic, and the use of Minesweeper in this context serves to illustrate the dangers of navigating these waters.

I watched the first TV show ever based on a game and it made me realize: we’ve really got it good these days

The animated series Pac-Man, produced by Hanna-Barbera from 1982 to 1983, features characters such as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man (Pepper), and Pac-Baby living in Pac-Village, which is governed by the Pac-President and protected by Super-Pac. The series includes antagonists like Mezmaron and a group of ghost monsters: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue. Mezmaron seeks to capture Pac-Man for his knowledge of Power Pellets, which grow on Power Pellet Trees in the Power Pellet Forest. The show consists of 44 episodes over two seasons and often concludes with Pac-Man consuming the ghosts, who then return to Mezmaron in new ghost suits. The humor is aimed at children but lacks cleverness, and notable voice actors include Peter Cullen and Alan Lurie. The second season introduced a younger version of Pac-Man named PJ and increasingly bizarre plots.

Fortnite’s AI-generated brainrot characters are here, and I hate it

Fortnite has launched the Brainrot Bundle, featuring two new characters: Ballerina Cappuccina and Tung Tung Tung Sahur, each priced at 1,500 V-Bucks. The bundle includes additional themed items, totaling 2,400 V-Bucks for the complete collection. Concerns have arisen regarding the origins of these characters, as they are inspired by memes linked to generative AI. Epic Games recently raised V-Buck prices and laid off 1,000 employees due to a decline in player engagement since 2025. A post on the Fortnite subreddit expressing discontent over the layoffs and the new bundle has gained attention within the community.
