Hyperyuki: Snowboard Syndicate, an upcoming arcade-y snowboarding game with some big Jet Set Radio vibes, isn’t trying to hide what it is. Hyperyuki is an attempt to make a new SSX Tricky game while EA is too busy being bought by Saudi Arabia and making live-service slop. And while it isn’t the first game to try to replicate the SSX formula, it is by far the most successful and stylish yet. I was recently given early access to a PC demo for the upcoming Hyperyuki: Snowboard Syndicate which, weirdly enough, is being published by a revived Acclaim. What’s available in this…

“We trained the bots. We did the grind. Now we’re being left behind,” chanted a horde of contract workers who gathered outside Meta’s offices in Dublin, Ireland, on Friday afternoon. Waving flags, brandishing signs, and armed with whistles and vuvuzelas, they were out to protest a round of planned layoffs.The workers are employed by Dublin-based company Covalen, which handles content moderation and data labeling services that help Meta to fine-tune its AI products. In April, Covalen told 700 employees that their jobs were at risk, citing “reduced demand,” WIRED reported.A large swath of the affected workers won’t receive any severance…
It’s not the best choice, it’s Spacer’s Choice. That satirical slogan has been dogging The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition since it arrived with some annoying issues at launch back in 2023. It’s once again become appropriate after the game’s latest unexpected snafu. Players who owned the original version of the game were recently supposed to get a free upgrade, but Obsidian Entertainment ultimately had to decline “due to various entitlement restrictions and backend issues.” This all started with the original version of The Outer Worlds being delisted this month. As a result of that decision, Obsidian Entertainment promised everyone…
Meta is the undisputed leader in the nascent AI-powered smart glasses market, and that is unlikely to change even after Samsung and Google join the space later this year. That success was at least partially attributed to Meta’s partnership with EssilorLuxottica, but it appears that the relationship between the two companies could change very soon.New Meta smart glasses are probably launching soonMeta appears to be getting ready to launch multiple new AI glasses models in the coming months. The company’s plans were revealed by newly published FCC filings, which usually mean a release is imminent. Meta’s FCC filing. | Image…
The only Father’s Day gift I can recall my own dad getting was a plate of fried sardines. It was prepared by my mother, his ex-wife, who knew how gratefully he’d receive a dish he grew up with in the Italian neighborhood of a steel town dying with such theatrical flair that Bruce Springsteen named a song after it. (An acoustic Springsteen song, at that.) We lived in a nearby city that had plenty of red-sauce restaurants, but they weren’t serving tinned fish in those days. As my father had only the most limited of food preparation skills and didn’t…
I’ve lived through all of Pokémon’s 30 years, so I’ve watched as the ‘90s Pokémania descended into the modern-day scalper culture that has soured millions of people on the hobby and put those who remain in a constant state of vigilance. Maybe because I was so young when Pokémon was first starting out, I still have a lot of joy and whimsy attached to the series, but it’s been pretty tragic to watch the light leave the eyes of our collective consciousness when we see the little yellow guy because scalpers have turned the whole thing into a get-rich-quick scheme.…
A space-themed White House website that mocks immigrants and compares them to extraterrestrials claims Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested almost half a million people in nearly 12,000 cities and towns in the United States.

In 83 of the locations, every single arrestee is reported to be an American.The White House unveiled the website, Aliens.gov, on Thursday after teasing the launch on X with a 10-second video captioned “They walk among us,” leading many users to suspect…
Like it or not, iOS has some nifty features that are missing from Android and vice versa. Besides sparking the interminable debate about which OS is better, that gives manufacturers opportunities to borrow from their rivals, which Samsung appears willing to do.Samsung will update how the One UI 9 call log worksSamsung is preparing an update for the call log on One UI 9 that would make it function like the one on iOS 26. The app will start listing calls made through third-party apps, such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Third party calls listed in the Samsung Phone app. |…
Mina the Hollower is a very funny game. Its characters are real weirdos with big personalities, a lot of them have lines that are either directly funny or at least darkly so, and Yacht Club Games understands the physical comedy of enemies leaping out at you and knocking you into pits very, very well. In honor of the game’s release today, I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite characters in Mina the Hollower. His name is Klumpy Dee, and he’s a clown that leaps out at you when you least expect it, shrieks at you, and then…
