The god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler game Hades is one of the most popular games in recent memory — and one of my personal all-time favorite games. The gameplay feels smooth, it's easily replayable and the game's writing is full of heart and emotion. The game's developer Supergiant Games is gearing up to release Hades 2 soon, but if you missed playing the original — or want to replay it — you can on Xbox Game Pass starting on Sept. 19.

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-22 02:00:00

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a

Samsung’s Project Moohan headset has a new launch date, but what about tri-fold?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-22 02:39:01

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly launch its Project Moohan headset on October 21. This will apparently be an online launch, but there’s no word on geographical availability. Samsung’s “tri-fold” device will reportedly launch at a separate event. Samsung has been working on an Android XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan, in partnership with Google for a while now. We’ve previously heard launch date rumors, but a reliable outlet has now revealed a different date.

Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats.

I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box.

Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white
