If you have looked at any website for the past month or so, you have heard about Palworld. It is avoidable. Inescapable. Inevitable. Everyone knew Palworld was going to be a big deal after its earliest announcement trailers, but nobody was prepared for just how huge it would be when it was released on January 19. Perhaps most surprised by its success was developer Pocket Pair, who are now pleading with interested parties to come work on the game. PocketPair puts out a plea for Palworld developer applications In a…

Despite being at the proper age for it, I never caught on with Rugrats. I don’t think it really aired much with my cable provider. I do, however, know the NES quite well, and I can confirm Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is an NES game. This is despite the fact that the game will also have an HD art style over top of the 8-Bit backbone (not available on NES) that you can toggle on or off. Allegedly. That’s not actually in the demo. All you get is a taste for is the NES version, which strikes me as an odd decision. I…

Samsung's AI-powered Generative Edit tool is one of the latest additions to the Gallery app, available exclusively for the Galaxy S24 series. I tried Generative Edit on my Galaxy S24+, and it shows a lot of promise but could use a few more features. Here's what I make of it. To keep things simple, I like to think of Generative Edit as a tool composed of two elements. We'll call them “rotate-and-fill” and “object cropping.” Rotate-and-fill Generative Edit works best You can use Generative Edit to rotate photos and fill…

However, when Reddit user Clear_Skye_ was getting married, her mother, instead of celebrating the new chapter in her daughter’s life, tried to make the moment about herself.In a post on the subreddit ‘Entitled Parents,’ Clear_Skye_ explained that the disruptive behavior led to a regrettable family rift that deeply saddened…

In 2014, two years before he debuted as Rick Flag in Suicide Squad, Joel Kinnaman led the Robocop reboot as Alex Murphy, the role Peter Weller originated in the 1987 original. Unlike the first Robocop movie (which is considered one of the best sci-fi movies of all time), this take on the material earned mixed critical reception, with some not approving of it whatsoever and others saying that this Robocop is better than you think. Nearly a decade after its release, Kinnaman has shared what he found “lacking” from the…

A report issued this week from New York City Comptroller Brad Lander found that Citi Bike faces “significant operational shortcomings” in the city, and determined that the problem is even worse in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color. But Lyft, which owns the bikeshare platform, said the report was unfair in its analysis and contained several inaccuracies. Citi Bike, which allows consumers to rent bikes for short periods of time, has grown in popularity in recent years and has built out a massive network of…

Apple's iOS 18 update — expected to arrive next year alongside the purported iPhone 16 series — is more 'critical' than usual, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his weekly newsletter, Gurman states that Apple's next major operating system update is expected to bring major improvements over iOS 17 and is expected to help the company sell its next generation of smartphones. Apple recently confirmed that the company is working on adding features powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to the iOS 18 update.According to…

Cast: Michael Fassbender, Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Tilda SwintonDirector: David FincherRating: 2.5/5Runtime: 118 min A generic title like this spells doom for a movie that encompasses an assassin’s assignment that goes wrong. The Killer is not as deep and intriguing as David Fincher’s oeuvre dictates. It’s interesting enough and has a detailed rigour which might evince curiosity for a short brief while but over the length of the not-too-long narrative, this film still feels slow, ponderous and…

Cillian Murphy is struggling with what he can and can’t say about his title role in Oppenheimer, the latest Christopher Nolan epic, such is the secrecy surrounding this film. Murphy is under “strict instructions” not to talk about the content. Which is awkward when you’ve flown to his home in Ireland to interview him specifically about playing the physicist who oversaw the creation of the atomic bomb, later detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s not clear who issued these instructions. Nolan? The studio? The US…
