One of the great things about choice-based games is that the choices players make can actually have an impact on the story and also alter character relationships. These choices can give players a different ending than other players online. Towards the end of the final episode in Dispatch, players who are controlling Robert’s every decision will get two choices: Spare or Kill. Here are the outcomes of these choices in Dispatch. Should You Choose Spare or Kill in Dispatch Episode 8? After giving Shroud the Astral Pulse, if you have either romanced Invisigal or have trust in her, she will…

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It’s a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, promising—competitor to conventional lithium-ion batteries. But sodium-ion tech still has hurdles to overcome.  Experts say sodium-ion batteries have several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries. They experience far less degradation over time, demonstrate superior performance even in extreme cold and can cost comparatively less when scaled. But there are trade offs. The cells have lower energy density than lithium-ion ones, which makes them more suitable for energy storage systems or less demanding…

OpenAI says ChatGPT will now ditch the em dashes if you tell it to. The telltale sign that supposedly signals text written by AI has popped up everywhere in recent months, including in school papers, emails, comments, customer service chats, LinkedIn posts, online forums, ad copy, and more. The inclusion of the em dash has led people to criticize those writers for being lazy and turning to an AI chatbot to do their work. Of course, many have also argued for the em dash, saying it’s been a part of their writing well before LLMs adopted the punctuation. However, the…

        | Published: Friday, November 14, 2025, 8:45 [IST] Flagship season always feels a bit like the tech world’s festival rush, where everyone shows up with fireworks but only a few manage to light up the sky. This year, the first cracker out of the box is the OnePlus 15, and I have been living with it long enough to know which way the sparks fly.OnePlus has always treated the number series as its annual thesis on “what a flagship should be,” and the 15 does not shy away from it. The design has seen a shift.…

As players’ cities grow and they rank up their residents in Anno 117: Pax Romana, they will require a Sanctuary where they can devote themselves to the gods and gain Belief. Worshipping gods and gaining more Belief is a great way to improve production chains, city stats, and reduce costs. Players can only worship one patron per island, and the amount of Belief that the population puts into them will increase their overall global effects. Therefore, gamers will want to pick deities that pair well with each island’s focus and production chains, so they can maximize how much they benefit…

An engineering mule for Mazda’s future U.S.-specific EV was spotted testing in California. The new Mazda midsize electric crossover will ride on a new bespoke EV architecture and arrive around 2028. Mazda wants to sell at least 25% EVs globally by the end of the decade. Is Mazda finally taking electric vehicles seriously? A strange new mule spotted in California and reported on by Automotive News would seem to suggest so. According to the outlet, the prototype engineering vehicle represents Mazda’s first EV developed specifically for the U.S. market. It’s still a few years away, but the SUV would fill a major…

Boeing has signed a deal with startup Charm Industrial to remove 100,000 metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere. Charm collects agricultural and forestry waste and uses heat to turn it into a product it calls “bio-oil,” a messy jumble of hydrocarbons that it injects underground, including into former oil wells. Once sequestered, Charm can sell carbon removal credits to companies. Axios first reported on the startup’s deal with Boeing. Aviation has made little progress on cutting its carbon emissions. That has left companies in the sector searching for alternatives. Carbon removal has emerged as a contender given that it…

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a game that needs little introduction. Nintendo fans are all too aware of this much-delayed, restarted, and enigmatic next chapter in Metroid’s FPS spin-off series, which was first announced at E3 2017 as an obvious haymaker exclusive for the first Switch, which was only in its infancy at that time. Two years later, Nintendo announced the difficult decision to restart Metroid Prime 4’s development from scratch, as the project had “not reached the standards [Nintendo] seeks in a sequel to the Metroid Prime series.” Game Rant recently went hands-on with about an hour-and-a-half of Metroid…
