As much as I like easy money and blowing everything up, it’s the ability to zoom out that I’ve played around with the most. Spelunky 2 plays on the limits of your vision, with traps that can be triggered while still off-screen, or easy-to-miss objects or doors you can find yourself urgently backtracking to find. Being able to zoom out changes all that. It doesn’t erase the game’s challenge, but it changes how you make decisions when you know there’s turkeys ahead, or lava to the right, or a really good shop near the exit. It’s been enough to freshen up an experience that, for me, had grown stale after 150 hours. … [Read more...] about Spelunky 2 mod Overlunky lets you zoom out and blow up every level

It turns out the FCC ‘drastically overstated’ US broadband deployment after all
"We're very glad to see that the FCC has addressed the error Free Press identified. While Chairman Pai isn't a big-enough person to say our name or to mention Free Press's role in discovering an error that had eluded staff, we will take heart in the good result and leave Pai's pettiness out of it. Of course, fixing this error doesn't fix the other huge flaw we cited in our letter about BarrierFree: the Pai FCC keeps trying to take credit for broadband deployment and speed increases well under way before and during Title II's reinstatement," Wood said. … [Read more...] about It turns out the FCC ‘drastically overstated’ US broadband deployment after all
PS5 Resident Evil Village Maiden demo helps fans piece together the tall vampire lady’s backstory
Another letter includes a list of names divided up into candidates and rejects. There's a cup you can interact with and, if you twist it one way, you see clearly someone drank blood from it. What appears to be the case is staff are hired to work at the castle, then chucked in the dungeon - Maiden's starting area - to be killed and potentially used in the making of Sanguis Virginis.

6 times outgoing FCC chairman Ajit Pai made the internet worse
Maybe the only good thing to come out of Pai's time at the FCC is his big Reese's mug, which is so ridiculous someone filed a FOIA request for Pai's emails related to it (as usual with Pai's administration, the FCC stonewalled). Still, we appreciate that the mug gave us the perfect image to accompany every story about Pai's stewardship of the FCC with a big, orange reminder of his loyalty to corporate interests. … [Read more...] about 6 times outgoing FCC chairman Ajit Pai made the internet worse
