Imagine a future straight from a science fiction film: soon, hotel guests in Japan won’t need showers or baths. Instead, they’ll be able to use a machine – often compared to a dishwasher – to get completely clean automatically.
A 327-page lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan on October 8th alleges that these companies intentionally designed their platforms to be addictive for young people, using techniques to spread popular content and keep users hooked. The suit claims this behavior constitutes a public nuisance.
The Hellwalker shotgun, inspired by the iconic Super-Shotgun from the Doom series, is getting a boost. Its base damage is increasing by 30%, making it even more effective against regular enemies, especially when combined with Jakobs-specific upgrades and skills. The Torgue pistol, Queen’s Rest, is also being improved. It will fire bullets 50% faster, and its special ability – which launches a homing, sticky projectile – will now activate twice as often, increasing from a 30% to a 50% chance.
Battlefield 6 will launch on Friday, October 10th for PC (through Windows, Steam, and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players can currently pre-order two different editions of the game.
I’m creating a tier list for the best Imagine characters in Blue Protocol’s Star Resonance system, considering each class and how well they synergize. Keep in mind that the rankings can change depending on the class you’re playing – I’ll highlight the best class for each Imagine. It’s a good idea to get the top-ranked Imagines as soon as possible using free rewards to avoid spending too much time (and resources) trying to get them through the gacha system, as some have very low drop rates. While the system can be a bit demanding, these Imagines are essential for challenging content like Chaotic Realms and endgame raids.
Okay, so if you somehow missed it, *Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song* is getting a physical and digital release on PlayStation and Switch on December 9th! It’s a remastered version of the 2005 PS2 remake of the original *Romancing SaGa* from the Super Famicom. The 2022 remaster really improved things with a bunch of quality-of-life features and added content. I thought it was great – you can check out Adam’s review if you want to know more!
In the film, Steve Robinson plays Ron Trosper, a recently promoted employee at Fisher Robay, a company that builds shopping malls (their slogan is: ‘Integrating Mother Nature With Centers of Commerce’). The story kicks off with a typical Robinson character moment: a public embarrassment. Ron gives a presentation for a new project in Canton, Ohio, and while he tries to be inspiring, things don’t go as planned, leading to a slightly awkward moment in front of his coworkers and boss, Jeff (Lou Diamond Phillips). Most people would brush it off, but Ron fixates on it. This embarrassment quickly spirals into an obsession, and he becomes convinced it’s part of something bigger. He starts investigating, and surprisingly, his paranoia seems to be confirmed, leading him down a strange path of questionable situations and false clues, all while his personal life begins to fall apart.
One reason *The Simpsons* has stayed on the air for so long is its simple, consistent storyline. Unlike shows with characters who age and change, the people of Springfield have remained largely the same since the show began in 1989, with very few exceptions.
Linus Tech Tips is stopping its use of YouTube’s membership-only videos because of recent changes the platform made to the feature. In a video posted on October 7th, Linus Sebastian criticized the new system, calling it a manipulative tactic designed to create fear of missing out, and explaining that it’s cluttering recommendations and making YouTube difficult to use.
