Riot Games is making some big changes to the Valorant esports scene. The shift is due to kick off in 2023 and will include the introduction of three regional leagues representing the Americas, Europe, and Asia; previously, professional Valorant operated on a tournament structure. The changes will bring Valorant more in line with Riot's other popular competitive game, League of Legends.

It's not clear yet which teams will participate in the new leagues, nor how they will be selected. But Riot says that "the new model will incorporate long-term partnerships with no entry fees to a select number of teams to ensure continued long-term stability for the world's fastest-growing esport," adding that "teams who meet the selection criteria will...

It appears Snap is working on a drone called Pixy, and the whole thing just leaked with a huge amount of details, including photos and a seemingly unfinished user manual, published by the FCC.

In a user manual, Snap characterizes the drone as "a small smart drone with a camera and camera function." The drone itself is a rounded rectangle in Snap's characteristic yellow hue with translucent orange propellers. There's a knob on the top that looks to offer a bunch of different settings — it looks like a camera mode dial, right down to a traditional "landscape picture mode" logo — and there appears to be cameras on the front as well as on the bottom of the drone. We've included some of the photos below so you can see for yourself.

Netflix anime Bubble turns post-apocalyptic Tokyo into a colorful playground

In Bubble, a new anime film on Netflix, there are plenty of the typical hallmarks of a dystopic city. The movie takes place in a version of Tokyo that's been almost entirely abandoned, and there are lots of rusted cars, crumbling buildings, and greenery reclaiming its place amongst the urban sprawl. But there's also a vibrancy to the city — something that was very important to director Tetsuro Araki. "We wanted to make it light and colorful because we wanted to present this dystopian landscape almost as a utopia," he tells The Verge.

The reason for that tone might have to do with Bubble's rather unique premise. It's not a typical end of the world story. Instead of a planet beset by war or natural disasters, in Bubble, the earth is...

E3 2022 may be canceled, but it looks like we're still getting at least one big gaming event in June. Today, Microsoft announced the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, which will take place on June 12th at 1PM ET.

There aren't many details about the event itself just yet, but the company says that it "will include everything you need to know about the diverse lineup of games coming soon to the Xbox ecosystem, including upcoming releases to Game Pass on Xbox and PC." The teaser art, which features the Xbox logo floating among the stars, suggests we'll see more of Bethesda's upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield, which is due to launch in November for Xbox and PC.

Last year's June showcase featured news like the reveal of vampire shooter Redfall, a...

A VR company is using an artificial patient group to test its chronic pain treatment

Posted: 28 Apr 2022 06:00 AM PDT

Applied VR

Virtual reality company AppliedVR is taking an innovative approach to a new trial for its chronic pain treatment. Rather than try to find a group of people with chronic back pain to sign up for the trial and not get the treatment, they'll pull data from an existing database of chronic pain patients to use as a comparison group — a strategy that has the potential to make clinical trials more efficient.

AppliedVR got Food and Drug Administration approval for its virtual reality system that treats chronic back pain back in November. Now, the company is collecting more information about how the treatment works in different groups in the real world. They're partnering with healthcare data company Komodo Health on the trial. Komodo offers its...

Twitter miscounted its daily users for three years straight

Posted: 28 Apr 2022 05:44 AM PDT

Twitter overstated the number of daily users on its service for three years straight, overcounting by up to 1.9 million users each quarter. The error was due to Twitter inadvertently counting multiple accounts as active when they were all tied to a single user, even if they weren't all in use. These incorrect usage numbers were given for Q1 2019 through Q4 2021.

This is, somehow, not the first time Twitter has done this. In 2017, Twitter also realized it had been overstating its user figures by about 1 million to 2 million users for three years. The repeat mistake was revealed today in Twitter's earnings release for the first quarter of 2022.

The updated figures aren't exactly a game-changer: Twitter now has 229 million daily users,...

Leftist gimmick accounts want their tweets to influence politics, too

The rapid rise of the Twitter account Accidentally Based surprised even the person who created it. One of many so-called gimmick accounts, Accidentally Based was started as a left-wing response to conservative meme accounts that the creator noticed tended to grow quickly. Just a month after making Accidentally Based, the account had 100,000 followers, the owner estimates, and was getting retweeted by Twitter users with hundreds of thousands of followers themselves. What began as an experiment soon proved to be a reliable way to get content in front of millions.

"I figured it was worth a shot, and maybe I'd be able to have some influence on the left," the account creator says about starting Accidentally Based. "It didn't feel like there...
