The new role-playing game, created by Square Enix and KLab Games, launched on April 21st for both iOS and Android devices. It’s the first game in the Dragon Quest series to feature roguelite elements – meaning levels are randomly generated and players start fresh with each run. Players battle monsters in dungeons, gain temporary power-ups called Blessings during each stage, and obtain new weapons and gear through a collectible system called the Transmuter.

Amazon Luna is different from Steam, so its shutdown isn’t as bad as some are saying. It’s not a huge loss of game ownership, but rather a removal of access to games through Luna’s service—similar to a streaming service dropping a show, not deleting your purchased games.

Buc-ee’s OverBite is a massive chocolate treat – a quarter-pounder topped with their beaver logo. It’s been gaining attention online because of its incredibly thick shell, generous filling, and its unusual size – people say it looks more like a piece of sports gear than a typical chocolate cup.

Ys: Memories of Celceta first came out in Japan on the PS Vita in 2012, and in the West a year later.

Now, over ten years after the original release, Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is available on Nintendo Switch in the West.

Okay, so this new show is all Richard Gadd’s doing – you might know him as the guy behind Baby Reindeer on Netflix. That show blew up earlier this year, everyone was talking about it, and it racked up a ton of awards. It’s really exciting to see what he comes up with next!

Everyone has those days when getting out of bed for work feels like a struggle. Bad weather can make it even worse, turning your commute into a difficult and exhausting experience.
