On October 13th, streamer Stodeh shared a video on X demonstrating a glitch. In the video, he repeatedly missed his target with a sniper rifle – hitting it only on his third shot despite aiming directly at it.

With more games now letting players use either keyboards and mice or controllers, the potential for cheating has also grown. Some cheating methods are clear – like becoming invincible or seeing through walls – while others are more subtle.

The movie *Monster: The Ed Gein Story* features Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein, the real-life killer whose horrific crimes heavily influenced famous horror characters like Norman Bates from *Psycho*, Leatherface from *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre*, and Buffalo Bill from *The Silence of the Lambs*.

I was a little worried about Xbox’s future with all the talk about potential price increases, but it sounds like Target and Walmart are still totally on board with carrying Xbox consoles, games, and accessories! A Microsoft rep told Windows Central that they’re still strong partners. Apparently, the rumors started because Costco took all the Xbox stuff off their website before the price changes, which made people think something bigger was up. It’s good to know things are still looking solid with those other major retailers, though!

The Digital Foundry team analyzed the recent presentation and considered its implications for the PlayStation 6. They observed that the partnership between these companies will lead to hardware combining machine learning with ray tracing, and this work will likely influence future consoles.

Considering another playthrough of *Baldur’s Gate 3*? You might have noticed the “The Dark Urge” option. This isn’t a typical character creation preset – it’s a completely separate origin story with a dark past and unique content. It offers the best of both worlds: full character customization *and* a detailed, built-in narrative that connects directly to the game’s main story.
