Dispatch

Latest dispatches
The dispatch is the running desk: shorter items across every subject this site covers, in the order they land. Pieces here are notes and single facts rather than explainers — anything that grows past that moves to its own section.
About this section
The dispatch is the open end of the desk. The five sections above are edited: a piece lands there when someone has worked through the subject and can stand behind the explanation.
What goes in the dispatch
The dispatch takes the shorter items — a release that has just landed, a patch note worth reading, a hardware revision, a tournament result, a studio announcement — and puts them up in the order they arrive, newest first.
How it is filled
Entries are posted here automatically as they come in, which is why this page is the one part of the site that changes without an editor opening it. Each entry carries its own date and links on to the source it came from. Nothing is rewritten on the way in, and nothing here is sponsored: paid placements on this site are marked as such on the page they appear on.
Reading it
If an item in the dispatch turns out to matter, it is followed up in the section it belongs to — games, hardware, esports, retro or screen — and the longer piece stands there, not here. So the dispatch is worth skimming for what is new, and the sections are worth reading for what it means.
