Asger reached a point where digital game libraries stopped helping him play and started delaying it. Hundreds of titles sat behind menus, so choosing one required scrolling, second-guessing, and more scrolling. Childhood cartridges had worked differently. A glance at a few plastic cases settled the decision before any screen lit up.

Karen Antorveza Paez finished her doctorate at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich after years spent turning a known bacterial process into finished architectural pieces. Certain living bacteria called Sporosarcina pasteurii can lock loose grains of sand together by growing microscopic crystals of calcium carbonate between them, the same mineral that forms limestone and seashells.
Amazon placed a spherical device known as Echo Time with a 3.2-inch circular touchscreen on the nightstand and left the camera out entirely. The form sits low and rounded, finished in Graphite, Glacier White, or Coral Pink, with a woven mesh covering most of the body.
AMC Theatres just revealed its next round of sandworm popcorn buckets for Dune: Part Three, and the designs pick up right where the last one left off. One version features two sandworm mouths rising from a sandy lid so two people can reach in at once. Another extends a single longer worm higher above the container and adds a small working thumper that moves up and down while the popcorn disappears. Both come filled with a large serving and will sit on counters at AMC locations across the United States plus Odeon theaters in Europe.
