Opt! created a tiny digital camera that resembles a classic film canister. The OPT100 Neo Film measures 47mm x 25mm x 25mm and weighs only 25 grams, making it ideal for sliding into a pocket or attaching to a keychain without drawing attention to itself. Available in multiple variants of the original Kodak style, including the iconic black and yellow combo, white with a bright orange flash of color, and some eye-catching multi-colored patterns reminiscent of vintage film packaging.

A cassette tape squeezes a snapshot and then spits it out in an altered state. Jordan Blanchard, the mastermind behind this project, calls it the Digital-Analog Tape Picture Camera. It’s a handheld device that digitally captures still images, converts them to sound, saves them to standard cassette tapes, and then allows you to view them.
Kratos begins as a boy in God of War: Sons of Sparta, a far cry from the god-slaying monster that fans know and love. This 2D action-platformer transports you to his adolescent years at the notorious Agoge in Sparta, where the Spartans train their young warriors to be the fiercest of them all. Just like the games we know, but from the opposite end of the chronology. Sons of Sparta, developed by Mega Cat Studios with the story team from Santa Monica Studio, was released as a digital-only title on the PS5 today, and cost $30 or $40 for the digital deluxe version.
The Razer Kishi Ultra, priced at $70 (was $150), is undoubtedly the best option for anyone who takes mobile gaming seriously, whether on a phone or a small tablet. A variety of features work together to make it seem like a high-end controller. So the full-sized grips on this thing allow your hands to rest comfortably, much like holding a pair of Xbox controllers connected together in the middle. Smaller clip-on alternatives can become cramped after a time, but the Kishi Ultra avoids that. The comfort level is really high, to the point that you can play Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile, or stream from a PC for hours without your hands suffering.
LHS 1903 is a tiny red dwarf star in the Lynx constellation, 116 light-years away. This small star is around half the mass of our Sun and emits a faint glow that is scarcely visible against the night sky. Nonetheless, subsequent observations have revealed a system of four planets, and what they’re exhibiting is a pattern that utterly contradicts our assumptions.
Salim Benbouziyane spent months obsessively designing a computer that folds up like a typical laptop but includes all sorts of custom features that you won’t find in any ordinary off-the-shelf machine. He refers to it as the CM Deck, and every aspect of its design stems directly from his decision to use the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 as the foundation of the project.
Sony’s recent State of Play event revealed that the Unbreakable X-Men are joining Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Arc System Works, the company behind the recent Guilty Gear successes, has stated that their next major item will be released on PS5 and PC on August 6, 2026. Pre-orders begin on February 19th on the PlayStation Store and certain retailers.
Google has finally released the official YouTube app for Apple Vision Pro, more than two years after the headgear debuted. This standalone software brings the full YouTube experience to visionOS, allowing you to watch videos in a truly immersive and expansive way from within the device’s spatial area.
A high-end gaming PC often requires a lot of room, with full-size tower cases, large fans blowing air all over the place, and wires coming out of everywhere. Zac Builds, on the other hand, takes the other approach: he stuffs around 1000 watts of performance into a typical desk drawer, keeping your workstation neat and hiding all hardware until you need it.
Nintendo took a chance in 2001 with the Pokemon Mini, the world’s smallest cartridge-based platform to date. This teeny-tiny device was smaller than a matchbox and only held ten official games before fading into obscurity. Game makers had to get creative with the tiny 160×100 monochrome LCD screen driven by an Epson S1C88 CPU running at 4.194304 MHz, resulting in charming, simplified Pokémon adventures. Four AAA batteries kept the fun going for about 20 hours before needing a recharge, with cartridges containing a maximum of 2 MB of ROM, but the hardware was so constrained that game programmers had to get somewhat creative with the design.
