The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is celebrating its 15-year anniversary today, May 17, 2026. Below, we examine how its release reflects a particular time in gaming history, making it one-of-a-kind.The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was a standout RPG when it launched fifteen years ago, but it’s the kind of game you could never make now.Each of the three games in the Witcher series marks an important moment for developer CD Projekt Red. The Witcher was the moment the organization went from being a studio that mostly translated games from other territories to being a developer of new games.…

During the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert—the world’s very first test of an atomic bomb—a new material spontaneously formed. It was discovered only recently, by an international research team coordinated by geologist Luca Bindi at the University of Florence, which identified the novel clathrate based on calcium, copper, and silicon. It’s a material never before observed either in nature or as an artificial compound created in the laboratory.What Are Clathrates?The term “clathrates” denotes materials characterized by a “cage-like” structure that traps other atoms and molecules inside, giving them unique properties. Of great technological…

There have been half a dozen official iterations of Smash Bros. over the years, but some folks just love the classics, as there’s a very dedicated community of players who still consider the original Nintendo 64 release of the game to be their favourite. However, if you want to play some competitive Super Smash Bros. these days, you previously only had two options: lug a Nintendo 64 console to a friend’s place, or endure the hellscape that is delay-based netcode via an emulator. Thankfully, there’s now a third option: RMG-K, a fork of the original RMG Nintendo 64 emulator that…

Apps for budgeting and personal finance do a good job of tracking your money as you earn and spend it. Some also have excellent debt calculators that help you figure out how to pay off your debts.Each debt calculator is a little different. Some suggest a specific method for paying down debt, while others are simulators that let you see how your total amount paid will decrease if you increase your monthly payment.Here are a few useful calculators and some guidance about what makes them different.A Straightforward Plan: BankrateBankrate’s free debt payoff calculator gives you a timetable for paying off…

It’s likewise smartly designed, packing up into—as you likely already gleaned—the shape of a suitcase. The heavy-duty handles and latches are strong. Though the Nomad is 28 pounds, which is a bit on the heavy side for a single-hand carry, the shape and large handle actually make it easier to carry than smaller and cheaper models.The Nomad uses a dual-venting system to achieve good airflow, even when the lid is closed. The vents, combined with the raised fins on the bottom of the grill (which elevate your charcoal, allowing air to flow underneath), allow for very precise control of both…

Once configured, setup proceeds much like the Aiper and pricier Irrigreen apps: You create a zone, then use the app to define its boundaries. Similar to the aforementioned systems, Oto’s sprinkler is designed for precision watering, firing water in a beam in a single direction instead of a wide spray. That said, Oto’s spray is comparably narrow, only hitting a single, designated patch instead of producing a two-dimensional curtain of water like Irrigreen’s “water printing” system. You get a nice preview of this as you set the boundaries of your yard.Like its competitors, Oto lets you set each zone as…

Lately, Kegel has been steadily improving its automation, to the point where today’s machines do the entire job without any human intervention.The lanes you and I bowl on as amateurs are oiled very differently from the ones pros use.At your local bowling center, public lanes are oiled in what’s referred to as a “high” ratio: The level of oil present in the middle of a lane is eight to 10 times higher than what’s on the outside. At the far left and right of the lane, many public bowling alleys have no oil at all.“On a normal pattern at your…

Inside a makeshift workshop in Gaza, rebuilt after it was damaged by Israeli air strikes, Suleiman Abu Hassanin stands among piles of broken concrete, trying to give them a new form. His voice over the phone sounds tired, carrying the weight of what he is trying to do: rebuild in a place where building materials are no longer available.Gaza’s construction crisis did not begin with the latest war. For years, the Israeli blockade restricted the entry of cement, steel, and other building materials, slowing reconstruction efforts across the enclave. But after nearly two years of intensified bombardment, the scale of…

Last year, EchoStar sold off most of its spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX for $40 billion. EchoStar was in dire financial straits and so it shipped off to AT&T its mid-band 3.45GHz airwaves along with its low-band 600MHz spectrum. The carrier already deployed the mid-band spectrum in November, allowing AT&T to boost 5G download speeds by as much as 80%.EchoStar’s Boost Mobile can not be the fourth facilities-based wireless provider in the U.S.SpaceX received 40 MHz of AWS-4, 10 MHz of AWS-H Block, and 15 MHz of unpaired AWS-3 spectrum. It will use the mid-band airwaves it receives for its direct-to-device (D2D)…

Commuter bikes don’t come with the same constraints many other bikes do. Mountain bikes must glide gracefully through all sorts of abusive terrain; road bikes need to mix high performance with enough comfort to let riders stay in the saddle for hours on end. All a commuter bike needs to do is comfortably and reliably get you from A to B on typical roads with minimal fuss. So it’s been surprising how rarely the commuter bikes I’ve tested have gotten it right. At the low end of the price scale, as you’d expect, the required compromises have a big impact…
