In 1999, an experimental Japanese artist released a horror point and click adventure game that was completely different from its contemporaries. Due to external forces beyond his control, the game was left in utter obscurity and was considered to be lost for many years. A decade later, forum users across the internet sought to find and preserve this game… they were successful in doing so. A decade after that, the game was given an official remaster supervised by the original game’s creator. This is the story of GARAGE: Bad Dream Adventure.

 

Meta’s social networks consider charging €13 a month on mobile [...]. Meta is also weighing a €17 charge to use Instagram and Facebook without adverts on desktop, according to sources close to the discussions. Accessing both apps on smartphones would cost about €19 a month.

 

Google announced today that it is deprecating the standard Google Chrome Safe Browsing feature and moving everyone to its Enhanced Safe Browsing feature in the coming weeks, bringing real-time phishing protection to all users while browsing the web.

 

W skrócie – chodzi o „kontrolowane wypożyczanie” e-booków przez serwis Internet Archive. Założenie jest takie, że jeśli w bibliotece mamy egzemplarz papierowy, można zamiast niego wypożyczać wersję cyfrową – tyle sztuk, ile mamy egzemplarzy.

Jest to koncepcja kontrowersyjna, ale działała przez parę lat, jest również testowana w innych krajach.

 

One YouTube user has spotted this new timer in the top right corner of the popup, with the individual later sharing the screenshot on Reddit. Another user in the comments reports seeing this popup as well, so it could appear to more customers in the days ahead. While the duration of this timer isn't revealed, we expect it to be somewhere around 30 to 60 seconds. The rest of the accompanying text within the box is unchanged from YouTube's initial experiment, with bullet points listing the benefits of subscribing to Premium, while the options to Allow YouTube Ads and Try YouTube Premium are also present.

 

It's difficult now to remember a time when the Switch eShop wasn't rammed with low-cost, low-quality games making it laborious to find the great new releases amongst all the dross. What began as an immaculately clean, functional store back in 2017 quickly ballooned and before long Nintendo was inundated with software submissions vying for visibility on a crowded digital marketplace. Inevitably, these included titles from less-than-scrupulous developers and publishers looking to make a quick buck.

Ciekawostka. Z tego, co kojarzę, Google wycofał się z używania zwrotu "to google" w oficjalnych dokumentach (zamiast tego jest "search with Google"). Komentarz, jaki widziałem do tego, był taki, że kiedy słowo wejdzie w ten sposób do języka, to trudniej go bronić w sądzie (np. "gugluj z naszą konkurencyjną wyszukiwarką").

 

If you love Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, that may sound like great news. But, even as a big fan of those games, I can’t help feeling like there’s a bit of a void in gaming created by the more traditional Zelda’s absence. Tears of the Kingdom makes some changes to address that, like incorporating dungeons that feel closer to traditional Zelda dungeons than the Divine Beasts did. But, ultimately, these games are a different animal than the Zeldas that came before them. That’s especially noticeable because Nintendo hasn’t released an entirely new 2D single-player Zelda game in 10 years.

 

A difference between extractors and ejectors in shotguns and how are they depicted in games.
