On May 12, a developer going by FzzyBzzy released the wildly racist slavery simulation game Plantation Simulator onto Steam. Ten days later, Valve is still radio silent on this game, despite the fact that it pretty clearly violates multiple Steam content guidelines. Meanwhile, the game itself has taken an unexpected turn after its creator updated it, seemingly to troll all the gleefully racist people who bought it. Plantation Simulator was, I am sorry to tell you, exactly what it sounded like when it launched. It’s a top-down sim game in which you play as a Southern plantation owner forcing a…

Microsoft agreed to pay $69 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard in 2022. One of the Call of Duty publisher’s investors, a Swedish pension fund, thought that number was too low. It later sued Activision Blizzard and CEO Bobby Kotick claiming the deal was rushed to avoid fallout from the sexual misconduct scandal the company was embroiled in at the time. Microsoft has now agreed to pay $250 million, more than the entire development budget of 2020’s The Last of Us Part 2, in order to settle the case, Reuters reports. The judge overseeing the case at Delaware’s Court of Chancery…
The Ebola outbreak erupting from the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to escalate wildly, with cases nearing 750, deaths reported at 177, and around 1,400 contacts now being traced, the World Health Organization reported in a press briefing Friday. The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15. And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.” A revised WHO assessment has moved the risk level from “high” to “very high” at the national level,…

It’s almost summer, which means we’re headed for hot days on the beach, outdoor concerts, and frantically shooting paint guns at giant salmon armed with frying pans. What, is that not what your season looks like? That’s how my summer is going to shape up, thank you, because on July 23 I will be playing Splatoon Raiders on Nintendo Switch 2. Splatoon Raiders is a single-player-focused spin-off of the wildly popular Splatoon trilogy, and while it features similar gameplay, a lot of the game’s other elements are very, very different from what we’ve grown used to in the other Splatoons. Specifically,…
According to Gillinger, the cross-track distances between the four Russian satellites and ICEYE-X36 now range between about 500 meters (1,640 feet) and 22 kilometers (13.7 miles). All of this is taking place in polar orbit at an altitude of approximately 340 miles (547 kilometers). Russian satellite operators are now in a position to close in on the ICEYE satellite with “minor adjustments” in “satellite eccentricity and average altitudes,” Gillinger wrote in his newsletter. A fifth satellite from the same Russian launch last month now appears to be performing a similar set of maneuvers to move closer to ICEYE-X36. Co-planar or cosplay?…
