‘Resident Evil: Requiem’ Will Refocus On the Series’ Past

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-28 05:15:24

After the series explored new, undead ground in the last two main games, Resident Evil: Requiem is going back to narrative threads from the franchise’s past. In a recent PlayStation Blog interview, producer Masato Kumazawa talked about Requiem’s timing as a game for the series’ 30th anniversary. Where Ethan Winters’ two games “explored [the series’] broader world, Capcom wanted to “return to a story that continues the overarching narrative rooted in Raccoon City and the secret machinations of t

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo would feel right at home on your GBA

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-08-28 03:00:00

When I was a kid, there was a moment when it felt like everyone was obsessed with yo-yos. I never got better than just being able to make the yo-yo go up and down. But with Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, I could pretend like I was halfway decent — all while playing a silly game that feels like a spiritual successor to the Game Boy Advance titles I loved growing up. Pipistrello is a top-down adventure game, in which you use your yo-yo to attack enemies and traverse the world. You play as Pippi

Happy hour with Gemini: How I built my perfect summer bartender

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority If you open the liquor cabinets (plural) in my home, you’ll find an eclectic collection of spirits ranging from the mundane to the random and unique bottles my husband and I have bought in some small or unknown town during our travels. My husband likes to joke that I gifted him a basic bartending course and now I’m benefiting from it, but in my mind, it was a sound financial investment for both of us. The problem, though, is that there isn’t a course varied e

I can’t believe how far Switch emulation has come in the year since Nintendo killed it

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority It’s been a few weeks since the Nintendo Switch 2 hit shelves, but if we’re being perfectly honest, there’s not much reason to buy one yet. I’ve been revisiting my OG Switch to stave off the FOMO, but I was sad to learn that my left Joy-Con now drifts so badly that Link runs in circles like he’s drunk in Breath of the Wild. Instead of shelling out $40 for another Joy-Con with a ticking drift timer, I reached for something I hadn’t touched in a while: Switch e

Nvidia has a long tradition of building giant GPUs. Blackwell, their latest graphics architecture, continues that tradition. GB202 is the largest Blackwell die. It occupies a massive 750mm2 of area, and has 92.2 billion transistors. GB202 has 192 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), the closest equivalent to a CPU core on a GPU, and feeds them with a massive memory subsystem.

The Death of the Middle-Class Musician

Rollie Pemberton was barely a teenager when he started rapping. His hometown, Edmonton, didn’t have much of a hip-hop scene in the early aughts, so he honed his craft online. He plugged an old-school microphone into his mom’s desktop computer, recorded a few verses, later turned them into tracks, and sent them out into the burgeoning music blogosphere. Within a few years, he’d adopted the emcee name Cadence Weapon and earned a reputation as a shrewd critic and sharp lyricist. This work didn’t p

JavaScript Trademark Update

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-27 23:52:00

On June 18, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision. That claim alleged Oracle knowingly misled the USPTO in its 2019 renewal by submitting a screenshot of the Node.js website to show use of the “JavaScript” trademark. As the creator of Node.js, I find that especially offensive. Node.js was never an Oracle product or brand. Oracle didn’t create it, didn’t run it, and wasn’t authorized to use it to prop up its trademark
