Three very different worlds are waiting for you on Netflix this weekend. A 19th-century murder mystery that questions everything you think you know about guilt, a Danish Nordic noir serial killer thriller that you genuinely cannot stop watching, and a Japanese sumo drama that has absolutely no business being as gripping as it is. One is based on a Margaret Atwood novel, the second has a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the third one will make you care deeply about a sport you have never thought about once in your life. All three are criminally underrated and worthy of…
Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold has been revealed, and it’s the latest expansion coming to the long-running MMORPG from Square Enix. It will launch in January of 2027, and promises to begin a new era of storytelling for the game as part of the Godless Realms Saga. Revealed during the 2026 FFXIV: Fan Fest opening keynote ceremony, developer Creative Business Unit III, which is also the developer behind 2023’s Final Fantasy XVI, and publisher Square Enix, debuted a nearly four-and-a-half-minute cinematic trailer for the Evercold expansion. In it, we see a grandmother telling her granddaughter the story of a world enshrouded in…
The flagship smartphone race has become a little too polite, especially when it comes to mobile photography. There was a time when the conversation revolved around megapixel counts, sensor count, and wild zoom numbers. But over the last few years, that energy has cooled. The biggest brands no longer behave like they are trying to shock the market. Companies like Apple and Samsung now focus more on refining image processing and fine-tuning the formula than on pushing camera hardware into genuinely outrageous territory. Then a phone like the Oppo Find X9 Ultra shows up and reminds you what old-school flagship…
Though Larian Studios has moved on from its colossal 2023 hit RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3, to work on Divinity, the world of Baldur’s Gate continues forward. And later this year, fans of the game can gain new insight into one of the game’s fan-favorite characters, Astarion, in a prequel novel written by fantasy author T. Kingfisher, hitting shelves on September 29. That’s according to the exclusive reveal over at Polygon, which writes that “Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion” takes place prior to the events of Baldur’s Gate 3 and follows the High Elf during his years serving the vampire lord Cazador Szarr.…
Fitbit isn’t just tracking your steps anymore; it’s starting to talk back.

Square Enix has revealed that its long-running MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this August – yay! But, there’s a catch: to play it on Switch 2, you will need to buy a separate subscription even if you already have one to play the game on other platforms. Yes, playing FFXIV on Switch 2 plus other platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC will require paying two separate subscriptions. Despite the subscription shenanigans, your Switch 2 account will feature cross-progression with your other accounts. Plus, Square Enix and Nintendo say you will not need…
Tesla has a long history of announcing things before they are ready. On April 24, 2026, Elon Musk posted a POV video of a steering-wheel-free Cybercab rolling out of Gigafactory Texas, and the internet seems to have lost its mind. Musk has confirmed that the volume manufacturing of the autonomous robotaxi has begun. However, the company still has to figure out the harder part. What exactly has Tesla built? For those catching up, the Cybercab is a two-seat car featuring Tesla’s Full Self-Driving neural network. It’s intentionally built without a steering wheel or pedal. In place of side mirrors, the…

One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to buy an electric vehicle is range anxiety. The assumption is quite simple: batteries age with time, resulting in a shorter range, and within a few years of purchase, your shiny new EV becomes a glorified city ride. How much range are EVs actually losing over time? However, new data from Recurrent suggests otherwise. According to the firm’s analysis of over a billion miles of real-world driving data, an average electric vehicle retains 97% of its original range after three years, and 95% after five years. To put that in perspective, a 2026…
I often contend to anyone who will listen that 2015’s You Must Build A Boat from designer Luca Redwood, to this day, is my favorite mobile game. It is the sequel to the also-excellent 10000000 and combines a great-feeling match-three puzzle game with some simple base building and RPG mechanics. Since playing those games, I have always been on the lookout for games that take match-three mechanics and combine them with rewarding upgrade systems in a comparable way.I am not far into Titanium Court, but it has the potential to hit those same high notes that I loved from Redwood’s…
