Tunic is a Zelda-style adventure that rekindled my love of strategy guides

As a kid, I was obsessed with Nintendo's official player's guides. I loved poring over the maps, hints, tips, and information in them so that I could use what I learned the next time I sat down in front of the TV. I have a particular fondness for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask guides — without them, I would have never been able to find all of the pieces of heart or masks hidden in the games.

Thanks to the internet, I don't really need player's guides anymore, as there's now a helpful article or video for almost every conceivable puzzle or challenge. (I'm embarrassed by how many Elden Ring tutorials I've googled.) And in exploring the world of Tunic, a new game from a small team and Chicory: A Colorful Tale...

Google's deal with McLaren puts Android and Chrome on its 2022 F1 car, and in the garage

Season five of Formula 1: Drive to Survive could potentially include scenes of McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown smashing a Chromebook or Android tablet, Tom Brady-style, thanks to a new arrangement between the team and Google.

In 2020, McLaren exited its deal with OnePlus that produced several powerfully-specced black and orange Android phones, but there's no indication of a similar branding exercise coming to the Pixel series anytime soon.

Instead, the new "multi-year" agreement between Google and McLaren is putting branding on the MCL36 (spot the Android logo peeking along the engine cover, while the familiar colors of Google Chrome will be on the wheel covers) driven by Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, their race suits and helmets, and...

The comedy satire series Servant of the People, which stars former actor and current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is available once again on Netflix in the US, the streamer announced Wednesday. In the show, which was on Ukrainian television from 2015 to 2019 and first aired on Netflix from 2017 to 2021, Zelenskyy played a teacher who unexpectedly becomes president of Ukraine after a video of him complaining about corruption goes viral.

The show ended production when Zelenskyy decided to run for president of Ukraine in 2019 as a member of the Servant of the People political party (he won in a landslide). Zelenskyy campaigned on promises of building a new Ukraine, telling supporters in his acceptance speech, "I will never fail...

The Wordle Archive, which let you play Wordles of days past, has been forced offline at the request of The New York Times, according to a report from Ars Technica. Navigating to the Wordle Archive yields a disappointing message: "Sadly, the New York Times has requested that the Wordle Archive be taken down."

It's still unclear what went down legally between the NYT and the Wordle Archive, but a spokesperson for the news outlet vaguely told Ars Technica that the archive's "usage was unauthorized, and we were in touch with them."

The Wordle Archive previously displayed a list of old playable puzzles that were great for when you finished your daily Wordle just a little too fast and were left wanting more. Luckily, our old friend the Web...

FromSoftware hopes to expand Elden Ring ‘beyond the realm of games’

FromSoftware's Elden Ring has been nothing short of a smash hit, hitting 12 million copies sold worldwide since its release last month. But like any pop culture success in 2022, Elden Ring isn't going to stop at one great game: it's going to be a franchise, with FromSoftware telling fans to "please look forward to more of 'ELDEN RING' as an IP (characters and other intellectual property) in hopes of expanding beyond the realm of games."

"Much effort was placed into creating 'ELDEN RING' so that we could exceed the expectations of our fans worldwide. In like manner, we will continue our efforts in expanding the brand beyond the game itself, and into everyone's daily life," commented Yasuo Miyakawa, the president and CEO of Bandai Namco,...

Imagine if your old trig worksheets stepped in to help you out when you were stumped on a question. That's Practice Sets, the newest Google Classroom tool, in a nutshell.

Google Classroom, for folks who went to school before the internet was everything, is a widely used gaggle of web tools that allows teachers to post assignments, students to submit them, and teachers to return them online. With Practice Sets, not only will teachers be able to send out problem sets, but they'll be able to make those problem sets interactive.

An algorithm will provide hints to students who seem stumped. It will automatically grade the sets as well. Shantanu Sinha, head of product efforts for Google Education, says the algorithm will recognize when...

Ukrainian influencers bring the frontlines to TikTok

Weeks ago, Ukraine-based influencer Kristina Korban's TikTok was a steady stream of gym motivation and personal finance tips punctuated by trending audio. In bold title text, she told her followers to "STAY CONSISTENT" and "DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!" Aside from one lighthearted reference to the escalating situation with Russia, Korban's page stayed on message: "YOU CAN BE AN INVESTOR."

Then, on February 23rd, the facade of normalcy fell apart. In a video that's been viewed more than 9 million times, the Kyiv-based influencer recorded herself from bed, describing explosions in the distance that rattled her home. "This might be the beginning of something serious," she says.

For weeks, TikTok users have watched Russian troops and military...

Slack overhauls iPad app with interface inspired by its desktop app

Slack is giving its iPad app a much needed upgrade that will see it inherit many features of its desktop version, the company has announced. The app is getting a new two-column layout that shows a list of available channels and messages on the left, and their contents on the right. The left-hand sidebar is also being updated, and the app is getting better support for accessibility features like Apple's VoiceOver screen reader.

None of these are particularly revolutionary features, but they're welcome additions to an iPad app that can sometimes feel more like a giant iPhone app. Slack is marketing the update as serving the needs of newly emerging hybrid workplaces, which should hopefully make it easier to keep up with workplace...

Start11 brings back Windows 11 taskbar ungrouping

If you're like me and you're disappointed by the taskbar in Windows 11, there are plenty of apps to bring back missing functionality. One of the most fully featured is Stardock's Start11, and it's being updated today (version 1.2 beta) to include support for ungrouping apps on the taskbar in Windows 11.

Microsoft doesn't currently support ungrouping app icons on the taskbar in Windows 11, nor small icons or even the ability to resize the taskbar. These key missing features are all supported in Start11, with multi-monitor support to independently define window grouping on secondary monitors.

There's even a new option so you can left-align the Start...

GTAV’s improved next-gen load times make the game so much faster

Posted: 16 Mar 2022 07:50 AM PDT

For all of its open-world excess, Grand Theft Auto V is also a game about repetition: you go through missions multiple times, trying to finally complete that high-speed pursuit or violent shootout successfully. This can often mean reloading the same mission repeatedly, and — in previous iterations of the game — that time could add up quite a bit and become a frustrating nuisance. But after replaying the first few hours of the game's new next-gen release, the thing that has struck me most is just how fast things move.

GTAV is out now on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S (I've been playing the PS5 version), and it features the usual assortment of next-gen upgrades. That means support for 4K visuals, ray tracing, and 60fps gameplay,...
