A new game set to release on Steam and the Nintendo Switch is taking the popular farming sim genre into a rural Japan setting, inspired by the countryside of the island nation. The modern farming sim genre has seen a major boom in popularity with many indie developers flocking to the “cozy” style of games, inspired by smash-hit games like Stardew Valley. The genre’s explosion in success even led major game studios to implement more farming mechanics into games, including Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Pokemon Pokopia. Now, a new farming sim on Steam is taking some Eastern inspiration. The…
Threads and Bluesky still have quite a way to go to catch up with X in the U.S., according to data from Pew Research Center’s latest report released this week. The research firm asked about these smaller services for the first time and found they’re each used by just under 1 in 10 U.S. adults or fewer.

In the Bay Area, Waymo’s approved areas of operation now include most of the East Bay and North…
Self-described as the “world’s first Celestoidvania,” LUCID is an upcoming 2D side-scrolling action-platformer that’s set to release on Steam next year. Being created by solo developer Eric Manahan under the banner The Matte Black Studio and set to be published by Apogee Entertainment, LUCID is combining the fast-paced, precise platforming of Celeste with the frenetic action and sprawling level design of Metroid to produce a wholly original experience that will be available on PC via Steam. LUCID began life as a Kickstarter project back in September 2023, where it earned $82,202 from 1,309 backers, achieving almost triple its $30,000 goal.…
The Trump administration has been targeting state-level AI regulation, with the president declaring in a social media post this week that the industry needs “one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes.” This comes after a 10-year ban on state AI regulation was initially included in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” before ultimately getting removed by the Senate in a 99-1 vote. The idea then apparently took on a new form, with the administration reportedly drafting an executive order that would establish an AI Litigation Task Force with a mission to challenge state AI laws through lawsuits.…

Fallout 4’s recent Steam reviews have fallen below the “Mostly Negative” threshold, with nine out of ten being unfavorable. The unenviable milestone is a result of the heaviest review bombing campaign that Fallout 4 has suffered since its 2015 release. November 10 marked the 10th anniversary of the latest mainline entry in the post-apocalyptic RPG series. Bethesda commemorated the occasion with Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, a re-release akin to Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which bundles the base game with all its DLC and more than 150 Creation Club add-ons. However, the updated version of the RPG introduced a range of issues…
Byju Raveendran, the embattled founder of Indian ed-tech giant Byju’s, has blasted a U.S. bankruptcy court’s order directing him to pay more than $1.07 billion. He is denying wrongdoing, accusing lenders of misleading the court, and vowing to appeal a ruling that marks a dramatic fall for a onetime poster boy of India’s startup boom. The Delaware bankruptcy judge issued a default judgment after finding that Raveendran had repeatedly ignored court orders and provided “evasive, incomplete” responses regarding about $533 million that Byju’s U.S. unit allegedly transferred in 2022 and never recovered. The judge also cited issues with a separate…
Fortnite has just started its ‘No Sweat Weekend,’ which tweaks weapon drop rates, reduces lobby sizes, and increases the amount of XP players will gain during a match. This is the last weekend before Fortnite’s Chapter 6 finale event on November 29, so it’s a great opportunity for players to jump back in and grind the last few levels of the Battle Pass before the season ends. For the last three weeks, Fortnite has been hosting a Simpsons-themed mini-season, complete with iconic Springfield POIs, beloved characters as NPCs, and weapons ripped right out of the animated show. While the general…
