I can’t compare my experience writing a review for The Splintered Sea, the first paid expansion for the dastardly clever physics puzzle builder Besiege, to that of a journalist keeping a diary facing deadly storms on the horizon. But if we take for granted the idea that a review is only really valuable as an insight into the player’s experience, I haven’t felt particularly good this week. That in mind: Splintered Sea is more Besiege, carefully applied to the already extensive toolkit. More importantly, it’s currently bringing me deep and much-needed moments of untainted, childlike, vaguely-Orcish joy.

The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a small full-frame camera for content creators
Panasonic has been making pocket-sized interchangeable lens cameras for over a decade, ever since it pioneered mirrorless camera technology (alongside Olympus) with the Micro Four Thirds standard. Now it has announced the latest in that long legacy of cameras with the brand new Panasonic Lumix S9. Unlike previous Lumix cameras such as the Lumix GM5 … Read more
The same genetic mutations behind gorillas’ small penises can hinder fertility in men
Silverback gorillas are known for their impressive, bulging physiques – and their rather modest genitals. Now scientists have discovered a potential genetic link between these apes’ small limbs and infertility problems in male humans. On average it is only 3 centimeters long, the penis of an adult man gorilla (Gorilla) is the smallest phallus of … Read more
Eight micro interiors that make the most of their small space
For our latest lookbook, we’ve rounded up eight micro-apartments and micro-homes that use clever solutions to best fit into one room, which often functions as both a living room and a bedroom. A ‘sleeping cocoon’ and built-in space-saving furniture are among the solutions used to create comfortable living and sleeping spaces in these projects. The … Read more
The small but powerful pocket knife made of titanium + carbon fiber is smaller and lighter than your house key – Yanko Design
It doesn’t get smaller than this, lighter than this, or more viciously sharp than this. The WaspArmor Micro Folding Scalpel measures just 57mm (2.5 inches) when closed and weighs just 5.6 grams (0.19 ounces). It floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee… or a wasp, as the name suggests. The titanium and carbon … Read more
Being small seems to be the secret to evolutionary success
Small seems really nice from an evolutionary perspective. The largest dinosaurs, pterosaurs and mammals may look impressive, but these giants are vastly outnumbered by microscopic bacteria and single-celled algae and fungi. Small organisms are also ancient and incredibly resilient. The first evidence of single-celled organisms dates from about 3.8 billion years ago, shortly after the … Read more
