‘The Last of Us Part II’ Can Now Rob You of Its Most Brutal Moment

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-08 04:15:01

Season two of The Last of Us ended on “the” moment. The moment when a story you thought was one thing actually becomes another. It’s a moment lifted directly from the video game The Last of Us Part II, but now the game is letting players get rid of it, and we’re very curious about the timing. Tuesday, Naughty Dog announced that it’s releasing a new update to the remastered edition of The Last of Us Part II.

‘Edge of Eternities’ Will Take ‘Magic: The Gathering’ to the Stars

A certain Star franchise may have boldly declared space the final frontier, but for Magic: The Gathering, it’s only the beginning. After the huge risk (and ultimate success) of its Final Fantasy set last month, the venerable card game is leaping into another big risk, although this time devoid of any flashy crossover: its next set, Edge of Eternities, will mark Magic‘s first proper foray into full-on science fiction.

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

theverge.com Elizabeth Lopatto 2025-08-08 08:30:00

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th
