When people think about improving off-road performance, they often picture major upgrades like suspension lifts or oversized tires. While those modifications certainly matter, many drivers overlook how much impact smaller, targeted upgrades can have on real-world trail performance. The truth is, thoughtful improvements in the right areas often deliver noticeable gains without the cost, complexity, or tradeoffs of major overhauls. Accessories like properly mounted led off road lights can immediately improve visibility and safety, making every trail run more controlled and enjoyable. Small upgrades also allow drivers to fine-tune how their vehicle performs in specific conditions. Instead of changing everything at once,…

Asus has announced an updated version of its high-end gaming monitor, the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen 3, adding a few notable refinements to an already familiar formula.

According to Asus, the added layer improves black levels in brighter rooms and cuts down on the purple tint QD-OLED panels can show under strong ambient lighting.…

The authors, Mark Butler, Donald Behringer, and Jason Schratwieser, hypothesized that these solution holes represent an ecological trap. The older lobsters that find shelter in a solution hole would emit the chemicals that draw younger ones to congregate with them. But the youngsters would then fall prey to any groupers that inhabit the same solution hole. In other words, what is normally a cue for safety—the signal that there are lots of lobsters present—could lure smaller lobsters into what the authors call a “predatory death trap.” Testing the hypothesis involved a lot of underwater surveys. First, the authors identified solution…

Caroline Muller looks at clouds differently than most people. Where others may see puffy marshmallows, wispy cotton candy or thunderous gray objects storming overhead, Muller sees fluids flowing through the sky. She visualizes how air rises and falls, warms and cools, and spirals and swirls to form clouds and create storms.But the urgency with which Muller, a climate scientist at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria in Klosterneuburg, considers such atmospheric puzzles has surged in recent years. As our planet swelters with global warming, storms are becoming more intense, sometimes dumping two or even three times more rain than…

Take yourself back to 2017. Get Out and The Shape of Water were playing in theaters, Zohran Mamdani was still known as rapper Young Cardamom, and the Trump administration, freshly in power, was eager to prop up its favored energy sources.That year, the administration introduced a series of subsidies for struggling coal-fired power plants and nuclear power plants, which were facing increasing price pressures from gas and cheap renewables. The plan would have put taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars. It didn’t work.In subsequent years, the nuclear industry kept running into roadblocks. Three nuclear plants have shut down…

….And we’re back. Sorry about last year. Our previous owners, G/O Media, were a pack of idiots with more money than brains, who decided to stop anyone at Kotaku from writing personal top ten lists. Why? Pretty simple, really: They had no idea what they were doing and nearly destroyed this place. Anyway, they’re all gone now, and I’m still here. So let’s talk about my 10 favorite games of 2025! This 2025 list was an odd one to put together. I started with over 20 games that I played this year that I liked a lot. But whittling this…
