FTC orders Blackbaud to overhaul ‘reckless’ security practices in wake of 2020 breach

Education tech company Blackbaud agreed to settle with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission over the company’s security practices that resulted in a 2020 data breach.

Saga Anderson writes her own story in Alan Wake 2 as the hero I want to be

Though there are countless directions life flows in, we’re constantly fed narratives on what choices lead you down the supposed good path. It’s wise to take advice, especially from the experienced, but what happens when our internal desires clash with the stories society outlined for us? In Alan Wake 2, Saga finds herself confronting this many-faced problem. However, in typical Remedy fashion, things are presented through metanarratives that defy convention. Through Saga, we discover the power these tales have in our…

Hard By a Great Forest by Leo Vardiashvili review – a quest in the wake of Soviet collapse | Fiction

Like thousands of Georgians, he fled the country during the civil wars that followed Soviet collapse in 1991 and a…

Alan Wake 2 update finally adds chapter select – Destructoid

My review of Alan Wake 2 makes it obvious I’m a huge fan, not just of the game but Remedy’s work overall. With that said, I’m not blind to some of the flaws of the company, including the often missing features at launch such as chapter selection. It’s not compulsory by any means, but when you consider the lack of photo mode as well, you begin to wish things were a little more filled out. Slowly but surely, the Finnish developer has been working on the game, even after the dramatic Final Draft which gave many the…
