The original Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time occupies a similar space in my heart as The Black Cauldron, The Last Unicorn, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, and all of the other fantastical experiences of the ’80s and ’90s in that, while fundamental to creating who I am today, they were also extremely dark. Though Majora’s Mask is (understandably) referred to as the darkest Legend of Zelda game, it’s crucial to remember that Ocarina of Time had its fair share of creepy content, too. Part of this is due to the game’s themes and subtle focus on mortality, but…

In March, two Democrats and two Republicans opposed to the law’s broad spying authority introduced a bill to limit the government’s ability to obtain Americans’ private communications without a warrant. This week, lawmakers failed to pass even a short-term extension of FISA amid disputes over proposed surveillance reforms and President Trump choosing Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. Pulte has no experience in national security; he previously led the Federal Housing Finance Agency and used the post to accuse Trump critics of mortgage fraud. While some Republicans have sought reforms of FISA, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.)…

Earlier this month, GameStop disclosed that it achieved the highest profit in the company’s history during the first quarter of its latest fiscal year.

The company began trading on the Nasdaq exchange in New York City at $135 a share, valuing SpaceX at nearly $1.8 trillion.

The budget smartphone market may be heading in an unexpected (or expected?) direction this year. According to a recent post from a reliable industry insider, several sub-brands of major smartphone makers are preparing to launch new devices in the sub-1,000 yuan (around $140) segment. The surprising part is that many of these phones will scale back hardware instead of improving it. Samsung never retired the waterdrop notch in the Galaxy A0X series. In Image: Galaxy A07 5G The report claims that the upcoming budget phones will continue to use 1080p LCD panels and bring back the waterdrop notch. The entry-level…

Splatoon’s single-player modes have always harbored some interesting ideas, but they’ve all either felt like drawn-out tutorials or been relegated to brief paid DLCs. That’s why Splatoon Raiders, the series’ first single-player spin-off, is a big deal—Nintendo has a chance to finally give players the full-length, fleshed-out mission we’ve been waiting for. Previous trailers have taught us that the player (after selecting a hairstyle from possibly the coolest list of options in a Splatoon game yet) will take on the role of a scrappy little mechanic who has to fend off salmonids. Big Man, Shiver, and Frye are returning, and…

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s internal announcement on Friday about a “large” companywide AI hackathon next month quickly sparked frustration and disbelief among employees.In internal messages seen by WIRED, some workers wrote that added responsibilities in the wake of recent mass layoffs at the tech giant had left them with little time to join such ancillary activities. Others said they felt discouraged from participating because of what they viewed as low morale and declining trust in management across the company.“I’m literally preoccupied with keeping the lights on for my team,” one employee wrote on Friday. “I have no incentive to participate,…

Usually when people hear the term “spin-off,” they think of some kind of supplementary material that you don’t necessarily need to experience to get the full experience of the primary course. That doesn’t apply to Kingdom Hearts, however, as just about every game in the series, whether it’s a numbered entry following Sora, Donald, and Goofy’s Disney-world-hopping adventures or not, is basically required reading. Kingdom Hearts IV seems to be carrying on that tradition, as the latest trailer teases the presence of several characters who originated in a game that a lot of fans probably haven’t played. The problem is,…
