Have you ever wondered what might happen if you put Armored Core and Vampire Survivors into opposite ends of the teleporter from The Fly and flipped the switch? The resulting mash-up would probably look a lot like Vital Shell, a game by solo developer Marvin Wizard released to Steam on January 8. Vital Shell, fortunately, is less a monstrous example of scientific hubris and more a competent, top-down arena shooter that combines fantasy mechs with automatic battling mechanics and adds an aesthetic splash of PlayStation 1 visuals and ambient jungle music for good vibes. I spent a few rounds running…
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have just spotted a new type of celestial object: Cloud-9, a starless, gas-rich cloud of dark matter that was slightly too light to become a full-fledged galaxy.As detailed in a study published Nov. 10 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and presented this week at the 247th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Phoenix, this odd object is located more than 14 million light-years from Earth, near the spiral galaxy Messier 94 (M94). Cloud-9 is a cosmic relic, a primordial building block of galaxies that confirms the critical mass threshold needed for a body…
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is being used to flood X with thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors wearing minimal clothing. Some of this content appears to not only violate X’s own policies, which prohibit sharing illegal content such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but may also violate the guidelines of Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store.Apple and Google both explicitly ban apps containing CSAM, which is illegal to host and distribute in many countries. The tech giants also forbid apps that contain pornographic material or facilitate harassment. The Apple App Store says it…
Fender Audio may have announced its new headphones and speakers right before CES, but Las Vegas afforded us the first opportunity to see the brand’s new lineup in person. Fender Audio is a Fender-owned brand from Riffsound that’s designing and making new devices after licensing the name. It’s been a while since the guitar and amplifier company made any general-use speakers of its own, and this new arrangement is similar to what Zound was doing with Marshall for a spell.Logistics out of the way, let’s get down to what the Mix and Ellie are like in the flesh. First, the…
A 1TB Drive That’s Better Than The Larger Versions There is something special about the 1TB version of the Samsung 9100 Pro, for contrary to your expectations it tends to run faster on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E APEX than it does on an ASUS Z890 Apex. It also outperforms the 4TB and 8TB versions of the Samsung 9100 Pro on that AMD system. This single-sided SSD also runs cooler and more efficiently than just about anything on the market, so it’s also perfect to stick in a console as well as PC. The only drawback is the size, you…
The news that Wolfenstein 3 is in the works is music to my ears. I’ve long been a fan of Sweden-based MachineGames’ take on Wolfenstein, which transforms B.J. Blazkowicz’s one-man war on occult-powered Nazis into a grisly and moving narrative about the strength of family and communities while finding oneself amidst endless conflict. Wolfenstein 2 showed the importance of resisting the narrative that fascism can and will win. If I have one concrete hope for a potential sequel, it’s that it doesn’t ease up on the gas. The first of these games, Wolfenstein: The New Order is really good, as…
NASA will host a live news conference at 5 p.m. EST on Thursday from the agency’s headquarters in Washington to discuss the International Space Station and its crew. On Jan. 7, the agency announced it was postponing a planned spacewalk originally scheduled for Jan. 8 while teams monitored a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory. The matter involved a single crew member, who is stable. Due to medical privacy, it is not appropriate for NASA to share more details about the crew member. Participants in the news conference include: NASA Administrator Jared…
Silicon Valley giants like Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI are racing to develop “operating systems” for AI-powered devices—and 2026 is likely the year these efforts will start to take off. The devices are largely built around a future where AI agents can take actions on a user’s behalf, without requiring them to visit an app or website.In theory, this sounds like an idyllic relationship between humans and technology. But it could rewrite the business model for a huge swath of consumer tech companies.Instead of tapping through apps filled with ads and upsells, AI devices promise that a user will be able…
It’s been almost two months since Fubo has stopped carrying NBCUniversal-owned channels, and there’s still no sign of them coming back to the streaming service. Customers have had to find alternate methods of watching Sunday Night Football, all the latest episodes of the Real Housewives franchise, and so much more because of Fubo and NBCUniversal’s contract dispute, so channels like NBC, USA Network, Telemundo, and Bravo have been unavailable on Fubo since Nov. 21.A message released by Fubo to their customers explains, “Fubo believes customers should have the option to choose among multiple distributors to access the content they love.…
The TÜV Rheinland Circular Polarization Is Supposed To Be Easy On The Eyes Over the last couple of years display technology has been fun to follow as it is continually evolving. QD-OLEDs have become more robust and less fuzzy, refresh rates have soared and coatings, both glossy and matte, have gone through generational changes. The AOC Q27G4SL/WS offers yet another new take on display technology, emitting circularly polarized light which is more like natural light than the traditional straight-line or linear polarization found on most displays. TweakTown did feel that the circular polarization reduced eyestrain, with the added benefit that…
