D&D Beyond recently launched playtests for “Villainous Options,” introducing four new, free subclasses for D&D players to try. These include options like the Hellfire Domain Cleric and Hell Knight Fighter. But the playtest isn’t just about subclasses; it also includes “Paths of Villainy,” a system built around two connected sets of feats.
![Trajectory-persistent adversarial attacks reveal that recurrent state space model (RSSM) architectures amplify initial perturbations-increasing by a factor of 2.26× in the deterministic GRU world model-before GRU contraction attenuates them, a phenomenon not observed in single-step baselines, and which is mitigated through adversarial fine-tuning-reducing amplification across all steps-resulting in a reward gap of only [latex]0.000892 \pm 0.000057[/latex] at a planning horizon of 30, and demonstrating a fundamental trade-off between model expressiveness and robustness to adversarial input.](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.01346v1/x1.png)
As artificial intelligence builds increasingly complex models of reality, new safety vulnerabilities emerge from the systems’ imagined environments.
I had a chance to chat with the game’s creator while playing, and he shared what inspired the game and explained some of its more subtle details. It’s a relaxing game that breaks from the usual mold – it has levels, but there’s no pressure to hurry or complete things quickly.
I was really excited to see John Krasinski direct and star in a Jack Ryan movie, but honestly, I’m a little disappointed there won’t be a fifth season of the show. It feels like his story deserved more time to develop. This Ghost War movie is cool, but it’s basically like getting just two or three episodes worth of content instead of a full season, and that’s a bit of a letdown.
Apple TV+’s Shrinking, created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein, has earned critical praise for its honest and funny look at mental health. The show starts with Jimmy (Jason Segel), a therapist dealing with his wife’s death, who begins to tell his patients exactly what’s on his mind. While initially planned for three seasons, the series was surprisingly renewed for a fourth, leaving viewers curious about where the story will go.
Post-apocalyptic stories are entertaining to watch, but actually experiencing those worlds would be frightening. Whether it’s deadly zombies, dangerous people, or the loneliness of survival, these futures are truly terrifying. Thankfully, many of them also include a glimmer of hope.
The first Mononoke film set a dark and mysterious tone, but Mononoke The Movie: Chapter II – The Ashes of Rage delivered the action fans were hoping for. Now, a year later, Mononoke Movie 3: Hebigami is coming out in May and is expected to be the best installment in the series. This third film will explore the consequences of the second movie’s events and introduce Kusuriuri’s biggest challenge yet, leading to the most intense conflict in the story.
Many popular detective shows feature a lone investigator, but most pair their detective with a partner—another detective or someone outside of law enforcement who can offer a fresh viewpoint. These partnerships have created some of television’s most memorable detective duos, each with a unique approach, story, and influence on the genre.
Beginning May 1st, 2026, the movie Dawn of the Dead will no longer be available for streaming on Netflix.
Bitcoin, everyone’s favorite digital rollercoaster, tends to outperform traditional safe-haven assets like gold in the two months following global crises. Shocking, right? According to a study by Mercado Bitcoin – that’s a Brazilian crypto exchange, by the way – bitcoin doesn’t just survive crises, it thrives on them. Apparently, it likes to show up to the party while gold is still figuring out how to open the door.
