According to a newly posted job ad, FireSprite is also working on a “AAA narrative driven horror-adventure game in Unreal 5.” Further perusing of FireSprite’s job ads reveals their “AAA multiplayer action title” (which many suspect is Twisted Metal) will also be tapping Unreal Engine 5, so it seems like that will probably be the standard engine for the studio going forward. While FireSprite making a horror game may seem a little out of left field, it’s actually fairly comfortably within their wheelhouse....

Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, said in a statement: Seth Sivak, CEO of Proletariat, explained the decision to step away from Spellbreak: Spellbreak caught our attention when it launched in September 2020.

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation’s (SpaceX) Starlink satellite internet service is continuing to see strong support from members of the public and government officials. Starlink is currently embroiled in a years long tussle at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), where it and some other satellite internet providers are fighting against efforts to further open up the 12GHz spectrum for use by fifth generation (5G) terrestrial services. Starlink uses the spectrum to receive data from its satellites, and the SpaceX subsidiary recently asked its customers to appeal to their lawmakers to argue the merits of keeping the space as it is for satellite use....

In addition, read and write IOPS is at 650,000 and 700,000. According to Crucial, the endurance of this M.2 NVMe SSD is 800TBW (terabytes written). Going by the math, you will have to fill up this drive completely, then delete it 200 times before it wears out, and that will take years, and by then, you would already have upgraded to the latest and greatest NVMe drive. Since it uses a standard layout, this Crucial SSD is compatible with any desktop or laptop computer with a vacant M....

What’s this botting problem? Well, the shortest, most effective answer is that its accounts are controlled by AI with aimbot and other hacks available to invade Valve’s official servers for the game. For the record, players can definitely use community servers, but the official servers being this bad isn’t something that can be ignored. Team Fortress2’s botting problem has been going on for a couple of years now, and only last month, Valve said something, which you can see below....

Tesla is finally making a big splash in the world of autonomous driving by opening up the Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability of its Autopilot system to everyone in North America.

The Chinese publication IJiWei reported a few days back that Tesla has established a JV with the Swiss automotive semiconductor company, Annex....

Albert Einstein famously said that the definition of insanity was to do “the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Well, the ex-CEO of the now-bankrupt FTX exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), believes that resorting back to Ponzinomics – an operational model inspired by the mechanics of a Ponzi scheme – remains a viable way forward for the defunct crypto exchange. You have to be particularly tone-deaf to double down on the very thing that created the original mess....

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced in 2019 by Daedalic Entertainment. Ever since then, information regarding the game has been relatively scarce.
