Yesterday brought us the inaugural New Game+ Showcase, in which multiple content creators decided to cut out the Kojima-glazing middleman and just show off a crapload of games. While the event ended up getting ridiculed a lot for feeling more like a podcast than a showcase, it did include interesting new glimpses of a number of upcoming games, including what claims to to be one of the largest open-world RPGs of 2026. Crimson Desert, the sprawling action-adventure with the racecar-like horses from Black Desert Online developers Pearl Abyss, is set to launch on March 19. PR rep Will Powers was…
Heated, cooled, shaken, and settled – NASA’s StarBurst instrument is several steps closer to being ready for launch. The small satellite is now awaiting instrument calibration following a successful integration in Canada and rigorous testing by engineers at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. StarBurst is designed to detect the initial emission of short gamma-ray bursts, some of the most powerful explosions in the universe and a key indicator of neutron star mergers. This would provide valuable insight into such events, which are also detected through gravitational waves by observatories on Earth. These events are where most…
While iOS users have an easy smartwatch choice in the Apple Watch, Android owners have a few more options, as well as face shapes, to choose from. The semi-squircular Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch 8 Classic have both a unique look and set of health features, and are currently marked down to as low as $280 at Amazon for the 30mm Bluetooth version, or as low as $433 for the Watch8 Classic.Photograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuSamsungGalaxy Watch8 and Watch8 ClassicAs the first watches to sport Google’s Wear OS 6, these made waves when they released with bigger, bolder watch faces,…
Amazon is making a return, of sorts, to physical retail via plans to build a big-box retail store in the Chicago suburbs, The Information reports. The 225,000-square foot retail space will open in Orland Park, Illinois, and give the company the opportunity to sell more than just groceries after it closed most of its physical bookstores and gift shops in 2022.The new store will offer in-store shopping, but also act as a fulfillment center for online orders, which could make it similar to competitors like Target and Walmart, and some of Amazon’s existing Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh locations. “The…
GameStop has been in hot water for some time now. But the company’s CEO, Ryan Cohen, should come away relatively unscathed, because, thanks to CNN, we now know he will score a $35 billion payout if the storefront hits a $100 billion market cap. One small issue: that’s about 10 times its current value. How is Cohen planning on getting it there? Thanks to a Polygon report, we know that he intends to close hundreds of stores and to offer customers a 20 percent trade-in bonus via a QR code. Although we don’t have concrete numbers on exactly how many…
In 2024, scientists announced the discovery of a newfound anaconda species in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Now, in a new nature series, filmmakers have released nail-biting, never-before-seen footage of the moment they encountered the snake in the wild.The footage transports viewers to the Baihuaeri Waorani Territory in the Amazon rainforest, where researchers were sampling anacondas in 2022 for a snake genetics study. In the video, venom expert Bryan Fry and actor Will Smith travel by boat with Indigenous Waorani guides along the banks of a murky river. In a small clearing, the group spots a gigantic anaconda, which the guides manage…
“This project will create jobs, spur local innovation, and advance American leadership in energy technology,” Urvi Parekh, head of global energy at Meta, said in a statement. “By investing in baseload nuclear energy, we’re helping build a resilient and sustainable future for our communities.”It’s not unusual for utilities to negotiate long-term contracts for fuel for reactors. But this is the first known incident where a hyperscaler is purchasing the fuel that will generate the electrons it plans to buy, says Koroush Shirvan, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.“The Oklo model that they have advertised is that they build,…
60W RMS From A 4″ Bass Driver And Dual 1.25″ Silk Dome Tweeters Portable speakers are a confusing product, with some being much better than you’d expect and others which you would think would be amazing are actually awful; before you even consider the subjectivity of people’s ears. Edifier is one brand you would expect to provide a high quality portable speaker and their ES300 is no exception, at least to NikkTech’s ears. The ES300 will give you at least 10 hours at playback at 80% volume with the LED bar at 100% brightness, longer if you turn the light…
Meta’s messaging app WhatsApp could soon be subject to deeper scrutiny (and punishment) under the European Commission’s Digital Services Act, Reuters reports. Because the app’s broadcasting feature WhatsApp Channels grew to around 51.7 million average monthly active users in the European Union in the first six months of 2025, the feature has crossed the 45-million-person barrier that lets DSA rules apply.A platform is designated as a “very large online platform” or VLOP once it has 45 million monthly users or more, according to the European Commission. Once an app or service passes that amount, it’s subject to the DSA and…
The boss behind the studio that developed one of 2025’s best RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, says that online controversies about the game and its predecessor involving representation likely didn’t hurt the game’s sales and only mattered to “a handful” of people who are online 24/7. Some quick history. In 2017, in the lead-up to the launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, developer Warhorse Studios was criticized by some online for not including people of color in the game. The studio defended this by claiming it was historically accurate that in early 15th-century Bohemia, especially in the countryside where the game…
