Occasionally, I’ll see someone online say they want to finish all the games in their backlog before they buy anymore. It’s a nice idea that increasingly feels (to me at least) like saying you’re going to become the President of the United States. You know you can’t just… do that, right? Well, maybe some people can, but they seem like the kind of people who don’t have big backlogs in the first place, because they don’t buy more games than they can play....

Summary MinecraftdeveloperMojanggave a bunch of the game’s biomes a major face-lift earlier this week, revealing thatpig variations and new ambient features would be part of the first major game drop of 2025. Wildflowers, falling leaves, and crunchy leaf litter were all added to select biomes in an attempt to make them a little prettier, but it seems the latter is actually having the opposite effect. Ever since the leaf litter was added in the latest snapshot, several threads by disappointed Minecraft fans have popped up on both Twitter and Reddit, calling the texture “ugly” or just declaring their hatred for it....
