Update, 4:15 p.m. EST: In a statement to Kotaku, TiGames says that the full Zoopunk game is all human-made, but players will have generative AI tools to make user-generated content. The full statement reads as follows: “All our works are original creations and the culmination of our artists’ hard work and dedication. AI will only be used to assist players in producing user-generated content (UGC) at a lower cost, such as vehicle skins, clothing color schemes, and similar items. In other words, AI serves as a tool to support players in secondary creations and in maintaining the mod community.” Original story continues…
When Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this September, it took the world by surprise by reverting a defining iPhone Pro feature. The new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max would stop using titanium — a material they’ve had for only two years, since the iPhone 15 Pro. But they didn’t revert to stainless steel, no not even that. The new iPhones — all of them, save for the Air — have aluminum bodies.Apple was clear that the decision was made to improve heat dissipation. Ever since the company introduced its first 3 nm chip — the A17 Pro —…
Two years ago, Ooni brought the pizza party indoors with the Volt 12. With that device, the company entered new territory and proved that its brand of outdoor cooking could be transformed for use in home kitchens. That model wasn’t without its flaws though, including its bulky stature and high price. Still, it impressed me enough to earn a spot on our best pizza ovens list.With the Volt 2 ($699), Ooni completely overhauled its concept of what an electric indoor pizza oven could be. That starts with a more polished design that’s slightly smaller than the first generation. The company…
Zork, the classic text-based adventure game of incalculable influence, has been made available under the MIT License, along with the sequels Zork II and Zork III. The move to take these Zork games open source comes as the result of the shared work of the Xbox and Activision teams along with Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO). Parent company Microsoft owns the intellectual property for the franchise. Only the code itself has been made open source. Ancillary items like commercial packaging and marketing assets and materials remain proprietary, as do related trademarks and brands. “Rather than creating new repositories, we’re…
Archaeologists have recovered a single human skull from the walls of a 2,000-year-old fort in Spain. Their study of the skull reveals that a local soldier was brutally killed by Roman forces, who then decapitated him and placed his head on the walls of a fort as a warning to others.In the first century B.C., Rome repeatedly waged war against the Cantabri, fierce Celtic warriors who lived in what is now northern Spain, to gain control over the Iberian Peninsula. The Cantabrian Wars (29 to 19 B.C.) were fought in part by the first Roman emperor Octavian (later known as…
It’s video game awards season, which has now become synonymous with the annual reminder that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 star Ben Starr is an absolute gem. Not only is Starr once again being a total goofball for everyone else’s enjoyment, but he’s also using his voice to speak out against the industry’s inability to retain talent. Go off, anti-layoff king. Though he’s been an actor for a while, Starr catapulted to gamer fame after playing Clive Rosfield in 2023’s Final Fantasy XVI and going viral during that year’s Game Awards. He then became the face of 2024’s breakout card battler…

The survival horror game Total Chaos has been in development for years and it’s finally available for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC. Incidentally, this a Game Pass release if you’re hankering to spend $30 a month. The launch announcement was made during a recent Xbox Partner Showcase.This is an interesting title for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s absolutely dripping with style. The art direction seems plucked right out of the Alan Wake universe. It also seems to have something akin to an insanity mechanic, which reminds me of recent games like Dredge and not-so-recent games…
ByHeart voluntarily recalled two batches of formula on November 8, but said the decision “was made purely out of caution, to go above and beyond what’s required and ensure the highest level of safety.” On November 10, the company pressed the FDA to test unopened cans of its formula, suggesting that CDPH’s positive finding was due to contamination. Things have changed since then. On Wednesday, the company said that it had partnered with an independent food-testing company, and the results were in: “We have just learned that those tests identified Clostridium botulinum in some samples of ByHeart formula.” The company…

First of all, this watch is Garmin’s biggest design leaps in years. Instead of the…
