The history of the Grammy Awards is surprisingly incomplete. Despite current nominees receiving a lot of attention, many incredibly influential musicians – artists who truly defined their time – have never won a competitive Grammy. These artists have sold out stadiums, pioneered musical genres, and continue to inspire today’s biggest stars, but they’ve never been recognized with the industry’s top award.
The update includes improvements to make the system more stable and provide a better user experience, according to the brief release notes.

Steam has been a popular platform for over two decades, but it’s become even more widely used recently, particularly since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic six years ago. The number of people using Steam at the same time has more than doubled compared to before the pandemic, and its growth is happening faster than ever.
Nick Kaman shared with Game File that a running joke within the team unexpectedly influenced Peak’s pricing strategy. He explained they’d often discuss the perceived value of a game, joking that to a player, there wasn’t much difference between $5 and $6. He said, ‘Five bucks feels like five bucks, but six bucks still feels like five bucks.’
In 2024, Shannon Hobby, a voice actress and software engineer, initially shared a Stardew Valley voiceover mod as a test. This week, she expanded the mod to include voiced lines for all the characters you can romance in the game. Her goal is to give a voice to every character in Stardew Valley, and she’s continuing to work on it.
Laine explained on the game’s Steam page that his partner helped him realize his mistake, and he shared why he initially used AI-generated content.
I have to say, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s first feature is a fascinating piece of work. It disguises a surprisingly complex political message within a really quirky, over-the-top melodrama. On the surface, it’s about everyday objects suddenly coming to life, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a sharp critique of modern capitalism. It’s also a moving story about the importance of embracing queer identity, remembering the past, and challenging outdated traditions that prevent progress. It’s a film that really asks us to consider what it means to move forward.
If you’ve ever been defeated by a strong attack that was easily countered, you’ve likely encountered the Hero Wizard. This card costs five elixir to play, but it’s not his basic stats that are getting everyone talking. It’s his powerful Hero Ability, which only costs one elixir to activate. Unlike a fragile attacker, the Hero Wizard controls the battlefield with strong area-of-effect damage, excellent crowd control, and good movement. He’s part of a new type of card with a special, activated skill, and his ability is one of the most game-changing we’ve seen. It takes the classic Wizard and turns him into a strong defender capable of winning any match. His power comes from a quick, low-cost tornado that provides incredible value, leading many players to question how such a strong ability made it into the game. He essentially combines the usefulness of several cards into one, with a reasonable deployment cost and an ability cost that seems surprisingly low.
The update includes a much-anticipated adjustment to the Kettle, a popular weapon among PC players. It had become extremely powerful because players were using a Macro to make the semi-automatic rifle fire continuously, resulting in a very high rate of fire and significant damage.
