This massive 45-ton electric dump truck never uses more energy than it generates on its own — here's how that works Researchers in Switzerland, along with a mining company, built the massive truck to haul lime and marl rocks.

My favourite "EVs are good actually" story in this vein is about an electric dump truck, for quarrying so it's huge, that never needs to be charged.

If it gets loaded at the top of a hill, it'll *gain energy* braking on the way down. And drive back up empty.

17-Bit's Jake Kazdal stops by to talk Zelda anniversary memories, his upcoming game Awaysis, Virtual Boy do's and don'ts, and all the big news out of Microsoft and PlayStation. 8-4.jp/podcasts/202...

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

The Awaysis demo has taught me what Diablo always needed was a crumb of Gang Beasts slapstick Slapstick 'n' swordplay.

Extremely cool that PC Gamer is talking about why Awaysis is bringing the SILLY to dungeon brawling. The demo is on Steam Next Fest nowwwwww! 🐸⚔️

Avowed was always great, but now that it costs what it should have at launch and nobody's being weird about it online, it's kinda perfect A permanent $20 price cut may be the most transformative patch of all.

Avowed is really good, especially for $50 and without really obtuse people yelling at you because it's too woke or whatever. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/av...

For any folks that are into VR, Character Bank is making a fully realized RPG straight from Kyoto. Check out their Kickstarter and get this while it's hot!

Very excited to launch indiedispatch.online into the world with @sheegoggery.bsky.social. It's way earlier than we expected, and we don't even have the logo yet. But the whole YouTube thing meant we just wanted to hit the ground running.

An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input.

That… seems pretty worth paying attention to.
