The phoenix rises That was fast. Bandai Namco has dropped yet another trailer for Tekken 8, this one focusing on Ling Xiaoyu. Ling was previously unannounced for the game, so this trailer is a big reveal for her. I’m mostly just surprised that this happened so quickly after Jun Kazama capped off the reveal trailers for their already-revealed cast. This maybe shouldn’t be a huge surprise. Ling Xiaoyu was introduced way back in Tekken 3 and has been in every entry since. She initially wanted to win enough money to…

A new drop test of Samsung‘s Galaxy S23 phones shows sustainability doesn’t compromise durability. The devices feature more sustainable materials than their respective predecessors but they are as durable as the Galaxy S22 series if not more.Conducted by the YouTube Channel Allstate Protection Plans, this drop test of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra is a little different from the ones we saw before. It uses machine-assisted free fall from six feet high to ensure that the phones experience a minimal…

When Capcom released its Resident Evil 3 remake in 2020, I was filled with dread knowing Resident Evil 4 was next. Capcom had proven it could modernize a survival horror game with Resident Evil 2, but I was skeptical that the same framework would work with a pure action game. Thankfully, I was wrong and the newly released Resident Evil 4 remake is one of the series’ finest games yet. With that smashing success, one might assume that Resident Evil 5 is next in line for a touch-up. But I truly hope it isn’t.…

One more Galaxy S23 drop test has emerged, testing the durability of the sustainable designs of the three phones in the lineup. Allstate Protection Plans (formerly SquareTrade) has published a video that shows how the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra held up after dropping them on their back and face from a height of six feet. The drop test results were compared with those of the Galaxy S22 series to see if the durability has been compromised by using sustainable materials. Samsung managed to use sustainable…

As a potential TikTok ban looms, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) gave her response in a unique way: by posting her first video on the social media platform. “This is not only my first TikTok, but it is a TikTok about TikTok,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her introduction, adding “Do I believe TikTok should be banned? No.” The New York Democrat said banning the popular video-sharing app would be an “unprecedented” move. “I think it’s important to discuss how unprecedented of a move this would be. The…

Succession is back, sweeping portentously over New York’s skyline, reeking of money and menace. Like the very best seasons of The Real Housewives, it has everything: fabulous couture, looming mansions, smashing mini-breaks and the generous invitation to pity or despise almost all the characters in it.Succession led the way, but since we last left the Roys in late 2021 there has been an explosion of “eat the rich” on screen. The rich have been skewered figuratively in The White Lotus and literally in The Menu. In Triangle…

SINGAPORE—China’s Foreign Ministry criticized the U.S. for targeting TikTok and said Beijing would never require companies to illegally gather data and intelligence from overseas, escalating the debate over the popular app a day after its chief executive was pummeled in Congress. The U.S. has presumed TikTok’s guilt and unreasonably suppressed the app, even though the government has provided no evidence that TikTok threatens its national security, Mao Ning, a ministry spokeswoman, said…

via Lionsgate With John Wick: Chapter 4 right on our doorsteps, it’s that time of the year where all of the back-breaking stunt work undertaken by one Keanu Reeves finally achieves its purpose as the top-bill action-thriller experience we’ve all been waiting for. All kidding aside, you have to hand it to Reeves, who’s been bringing the eponymous hitman to life since 2014; he sure puts his back into his work. As if his sensational turn in the Matrix series hadn’t left him sweaty enough, the John Wick movies…

On Tuesday, Adobe introduced its own generative AI model family called Firefly, claiming—like young people tend to do in the throes of pubescence—it’s not like the other scrappy AI image generators. Instead of using training data dredged up from the internet, Adobe said its crafted its service only using images on its stock image site, openly licensed work, and public domain content.Folks can already request access to the Adobe Firefly beta, though as of reporting time the service seems to be inundated with requests and…
