https://morflare.com/en Writing on technology and games. en https://morflare.com/en/games/paradox-ataturk-crisis https://morflare.com/en/games/paradox-ataturk-crisis Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Paradox issued two statements, reviewed bans and introduced an 1800 cutoff rule after the Atatürk controversy on the Hearts of Iron IV Discord. The one thing missing was the two words players asked for first. https://morflare.com/en/technology/gta-6-multiplayer-2027-claim https://morflare.com/en/technology/gta-6-multiplayer-2027-claim Sun, 20 Sep 2026 09:33:00 GMT On September 17, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy talked about GTA 6 multiplayer arriving 'next year.' On the same day, Take-Two reiterated the game's single-player launch plans. The remarks do not contradict each other — but Clancy's comment is not a release window announced by Rockstar. https://morflare.com/en/technology/steam-vram-survey-windows https://morflare.com/en/technology/steam-vram-survey-windows Sun, 20 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT Steam's overall survey put 16GB VRAM ahead of 8GB, yet its Windows-only results tell the opposite story. A VRAM reporting fix, an unusual February sample and an unexplained gap between platform totals make the headline harder to interpret than it looks. https://morflare.com/en/games/rdr2-spider-mystery https://morflare.com/en/games/rdr2-spider-mystery Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A hidden spiderweb puzzle in Red Dead Redemption 2 went unnoticed for years. Just as players were making progress, they realized they may have missed its opening move: a seven-year-old pentagram mystery they had been treating as something separate. https://morflare.com/en/games/super-mario-bros-ace https://morflare.com/en/games/super-mario-bros-ace Sat, 19 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT Super Mario Bros. has been played and analyzed frame by frame since 1985, and its world record is just four frames short of the theoretical target. Yet in 2026, researchers found a way to run their own code inside the game — following a clue from an entirely different Mario title. https://morflare.com/en/games/steam-deck-anti-cheat https://morflare.com/en/games/steam-deck-anti-cheat Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:00:00 GMT Around 59% of the anti-cheat games tracked by Are We Anti-Cheat Yet are broken on Linux/Proton or have been explicitly denied support. Yet EAC and BattlEye have Proton-compatible paths. For major games such as Apex Legends, the obstacle is often a developer's security decision rather than a technical impossibility. https://morflare.com/en/technology/pacman-fusion-ai-control https://morflare.com/en/technology/pacman-fusion-ai-control Sat, 19 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT Princeton's PACMAN framework can predict and prevent plasma instabilities in a tokamak roughly 200 milliseconds before they develop. The more important story isn't its speed: AI can be given real control over a machine without being allowed to change its physical safety limits. https://morflare.com/en/technology/lucid-bolt-robotaxi https://morflare.com/en/technology/lucid-bolt-robotaxi Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:55:00 GMT Lucid and Bolt have announced a partnership targeting at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles across Europe. The number is impressive, but the details are more measured: there is no binding vehicle order, the first model based on the underlying platform has been delayed until 2027, and the provider of the Level 4 driving software has not been disclosed. https://morflare.com/en/technology/google-home-mcp-ai-agents https://morflare.com/en/technology/google-home-mcp-ai-agents Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:40:00 GMT Google has opened its smart home ecosystem to third-party AI agents. The most interesting part isn't what it allows, but where it draws the line: agents can read the state of a smart lock, but unlocking the door is blocked at the server level. https://morflare.com/en/technology/snap-specs-2195-dollars https://morflare.com/en/technology/snap-specs-2195-dollars Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:25:00 GMT Snap's new AR glasses are up for preorder. The specs it has revealed are interesting; the ones it hasn't may be even more important. Resolution, brightness, refresh rate, RAM, and battery capacity are still undisclosed — and one of those missing figures directly relates to an issue reviewers noticed in hands-on testing. https://morflare.com/en/technology/data-center-electricity-costs https://morflare.com/en/technology/data-center-electricity-costs Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:10:00 GMT The U.S. House passed a bill aimed at preventing data center infrastructure costs from being shifted onto ordinary ratepayers by a 417–3 vote. A day later, an attempt to fast-track it through the Senate by unanimous consent was blocked. The numbers explain the broad agreement; the mechanism shows why the underlying problem is far from settled. https://morflare.com/en/technology/openai-misalignment-reporting https://morflare.com/en/technology/openai-misalignment-reporting Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:50:00 GMT OpenAI introduced a framework on September 16 for reporting model misalignment incidents and disclosed six cases. All six were observed during training. What matters may be less the incidents themselves than the reporting model OpenAI is beginning to adopt. https://morflare.com/en/technology/gpt-6-astra-minecraft https://morflare.com/en/technology/gpt-6-astra-minecraft Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A creeper blew up GPT-6 Astra's chest, and the model spent hours farming potatoes. The internet called it 'depression.' That interpretation is unproven, but the incident raises a useful question about recovering from setbacks. https://morflare.com/en/deals/microsoft-store-deals-september-2026 https://morflare.com/en/deals/microsoft-store-deals-september-2026 Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Four picks from the Microsoft Store's PC game sale: edition differences, bundle contents, and supported platforms to help you avoid paying for extras you don't need. https://morflare.com/en/technology/nemotron-moe-vram https://morflare.com/en/technology/nemotron-moe-vram Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Nemotron 3.5 Lightning uses around 3 billion parameters per token. But its VRAM footprint reflects a very different number. A look at what MoE architecture reduces, and what it doesn't. https://morflare.com/en/games/gta-6-release-calendar https://morflare.com/en/games/gta-6-release-calendar Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The industry narrative is simple: publishers fled GTA 6 and piled into September. A game-by-game look shows the pattern is real, but the evidence behind it is far more fragmented than the story suggests. https://morflare.com/en/games/witcher-3-remastered-lifecycle https://morflare.com/en/games/witcher-3-remastered-lifecycle Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Remastered edition launches free on September 29, and the older expansions are now free too. Taken together, these moves look less like goodwill gestures and more like a product lifecycle strategy. https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-slowdown-call https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-slowdown-call Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Amodei published a plan to slow the frontier, and Altman and Musk backed it. The immediate reaction was that big AI wants to block open-source rivals. Here is where that reading holds up — and where it gets more complicated. https://morflare.com/en/technology/apple-watch-ultra-4-glonass https://morflare.com/en/technology/apple-watch-ultra-4-glonass Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Apple removed Russia's GLONASS satellite system from the new Ultra. The obvious explanation is political — but the Series 12, launched the same day, still supports it. That single detail changes the story. https://morflare.com/en/games/dlss-5-neural-rendering https://morflare.com/en/games/dlss-5-neural-rendering Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT DLSS has spent years being associated with higher performance. DLSS 5 does the opposite: it can significantly reduce frame rate in exchange for reinterpreting how the game looks. That is where the controversy begins. https://morflare.com/en/technology/microsoft-ai-code-of-conduct https://morflare.com/en/technology/microsoft-ai-code-of-conduct Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Microsoft has published a draft requiring its AI not to resist correction or shutdown. The document matters — but having a procedure and verifying that it is actually followed are two different things. https://morflare.com/en/deals/epic-games-end-of-summer-sale-2026 https://morflare.com/en/deals/epic-games-end-of-summer-sale-2026 Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Epic Games Store sale (September 3–17) sorted into price bands using Turkish lira prices, plus this week's and next week's free games. https://morflare.com/en/technology/iphone-duo-vs-samsung https://morflare.com/en/technology/iphone-duo-vs-samsung Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The iPhone Duo isn't lighter or thinner. Apple's difference is treating the inner and outer screens as two scales of the same interface rather than two separate spaces. https://morflare.com/en/technology/what-is-nvidia-pair https://morflare.com/en/technology/what-is-nvidia-pair Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT PAIR gathers several computers on a home network behind a single local AI endpoint. But it does not pool the memory of your graphics cards. https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-radiology-prediction https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-radiology-prediction Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT In 2016, we were told to 'stop training radiologists.' Ten years later, AI really did enter radiology — but the need for radiologists did not disappear. That contradiction tells us something different about AI and jobs than many people assume. https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-ram-ssd-prices https://morflare.com/en/technology/ai-ram-ssd-prices Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT RAM and SSD prices are much higher than they were two years ago, and AI is often blamed. The connection is real, but it is not as direct as it sounds — there are several steps in between.
