Absolutely loving The Blue Prince (store.steampowered.com/app/1569580/...). The pacing is fantastic, every play a satisfying revelation. I thoroughly recommend buying a small notebook to accompany your journey - designing the structure and indexing system of my notes is almost as fun as the game :-)

Google’s AI-powered search is cutting the need to click links, with early data showing major drops in web traffic.
The Mail reports clickthrough rates falling by two-thirds when AI overviews appear, and Bain says 80% of users rely on “zero-click” results in at least 40% of searches.
