Valve has announced the Steam Frame, a new standalone VR headset with that packs a powerful punch – and smartly offers wireless tethering. We tried it out up at Valve.

So not only is Square Enix going to try to replace 70% of its QA with AI, it's also apparently laying off at least 100 people (possibly significantly more) as it continues to consolidate its operations further and further:

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

Ball x Pit is a surprisingly deep brick-breaker that relies heavily on smart strategy, clever experimentation, and careful planning more so than RNG and luck alone.

We push back on embargoes we find unreasonable a lot more often than y'all ever hear about.
Sometimes that results in changes, sometimes it doesn't – but I'd always rather be late with a review I am proud of than early with one that's PR approved.

Nintendo’s embargo for Age of Imprisonment stipulated that reviews could not cover ANY non-public story details. None.
Avoiding spoilers or surprises is one thing, but we simply could not agree to such a broad restriction, so we decided to hold our review until launch.
