The DeFi sector’s struggle coincided with a period of lull in the crypto market, with bitcoin (BTC) and DeFi hotbed ether (ETH) consolidating range-bound below their March peaks. ETH, the second largest crypto asset, is down about 6% from its Monday highs and has erased most of its gains since odds for regulatory approval for U.S. spot ETFs jumped overnight in late May.
Sukeban Games, the developer best known for 2016’s charming and poignant VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action, has announced a new game. Titled .45 Parabellum Bloodhound: Cyberpunk Active Time Action, the new project is a moody, retro-inspired adventure taking major inspiration from Square’s cult classic 1998 PS1 game Parasite Eve.

The facility aims to advance bias-free AI algorithms, circularity in industrial robots and electric vehicles, battery product passports, and predictive analytics for detecting pollution off-shoring. Their approach…
Thus far, only one Activision Blizzard-published game has made its way to Xbox’s Game Pass subscription service, almost a year after Microsoft finalized its deal to purchase the massive Call of Duty publisher. But a new report claims more Activision games will (slowly) start coming to the service in the near future. Why This Under-the-Radar AAA Title Is More Than Just A Far Cry CloneIn January 2023, Xbox announced its plans to purchase Activision Blizzard King for a total of $69 billion, the largest video game industry acquisition in history.

The committee is unveiling the standards later in July, culminating a yearslong process.
The 4th of July is a day for jingoistic mythmaking and summer merriment. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than by grilling food, watching things explode, and ordering a bunch of cool stuff online that you totally don’t need but will still be really awesome to have. Halo’s Joseph Morgan On Playing Nuanced Characters And The Flaws of Season 1Commerce was a key driver of dissatisfaction with the crown when a bunch of American colonies originally told England to fuck off, so it makes sense that shopping remains a core ritual at the heart of celebrating…

The sad truth, however, is that it doesn’t always work out. But how can this be? I know how good [insert game here] is! Why are they not immediately jumping on it as I’m telling them it…

The Acolyte, much like its main characters, resists definition and placement in Star Wars’ decades-long legacy, and that is its biggest strength. The Disney+ series ticks many boxes that the more traditional, masculine fans of the franchise have been begging for for years (High Republic lore, rare aliens, wild lightsaber fights) while also aggressively and unapologetically catering to the femme side of fandom with a hot bad guy and heaps of sexual tension. We’ve never seen anything like this in Star Wars media before, and it’s breaking some brains. Despite its mere existence sending bad actors into a frenzy, The…
