Steam and Counter-Strike have various types of bans. These can result in temporary suspensions from the game, and frequently include cooldown periods that prevent you from quickly joining new matches, especially if you leave games before they finish.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins was first released last year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Steam, and we named it our second-best game for design and immersion. It also ranked among our top 10 games of 2025 overall. You can find Josh’s review of the original game and the large downloadable content pack linked here. I’ve also reviewed the game on the Switch 2, and that review is available here.
Rural towns and villages in Japan are starting to use drones to keep bears away from homes and businesses, according to TBS News Dig. These drones are equipped with features like speakers, bright lights, and even pepper spray to frighten the bears and encourage them to stay away from people.
As a big fan of Bethesda games, I was really bummed to read Kurt Kuhlmann – one of the creators of Skyrim – talking about not getting to work on another RPG with them. He actually shared his thoughts with PC Gamer, and while he didn’t trash Starfield, he didn’t exactly rave about it either. He seemed to feel it didn’t quite reach the legendary status of some other RPGs, which is a little disappointing to hear.
So, I’ve been hearing from a lot of streamers lately, and it’s kinda crazy. Even though making content and streaming can actually be a full-time job now, it’s still tough to be taken seriously by, like, banks and stuff. Some people have even been denied mortgages or new bank accounts because their income isn’t ‘traditional’. It’s a real struggle when your job isn’t seen as ‘real’ work, you know?

This game was created using RPG Maker VX Ace. A screenshot reveals it features a 3D world map that players can use to travel by air, made possible by extra plugins.
MrBeast previously gave away a similar island in the first season of his Prime Video show, and Mia Speight was the winner. This time around, in season two, the island was won as part of a special episode that combined elements from the show ‘Survivor’.
Okay, so I’ve been thinking about the Super Earth flag, and it’s kinda messed up. That blue isn’t just there – it’s totally intentional. They picked that specific shade to make us feel good about what we’re doing, even though what we’re really doing is pushing their version of ‘democracy’ on everyone. It’s sneaky! While I’m out here fighting for freedom, that flag is working on my brain, making Super Earth seem stable and like the ‘good guys’. Honestly, the whole look of Super Earth is designed to mess with your head, but that blue? It’s doing most of the work. It’s calm and reassuring in a chaotic universe, and that’s why it’s so effective… and kinda creepy when you think about it.
