7 Things Wuchang Fallen Feathers Doesn't Tell You

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers isn't a revolutionary Soulslike title that aims to change the subgenre, but it's catching the attention of many players right now, in part because it's available on day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. Wuchang, however, does have some issues with underexplaining certain mechanics, which is giving players a little trouble. Wuchang makes some changes to the Soulslike formula established by FromSoftware, the developers of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Those changes aren't laid out so

How nonprofits and academia are stepping up to salvage US climate programs

Given the “dramatic changes” brought about by this administration, “the future will not be the past,” she says. “This is like a natural disaster. We can’t think about rebuilding in the way that things have been in the past. We have to look ahead and say, ‘What is needed? What can people afford?’” Organizations can also use this moment to test and develop emerging technologies that could improve greenhouse-gas measurements, including novel sensors or artificial intelligence tools, Hayes says. “

A year?

The answer that CVector founders Richard Zhang and Tyler Ruggles give every time is

The ICJ Rules That Failing to Combat Climate Change Could Violate International Law

If a country fails to take decisive action to protect the planet from climate change, it could be breaking international law and be held liable for damages caused to humanity. This is one of the conclusions of an unprecedented advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal obligations of states in the face of this environmental crisis. The 15 judges that make up the ICJ, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, described the need to address the threat o

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Could've Been Incredible. Here's Why It's Not

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the latest high-profile Soulslike game, this time coming from Chinese developer Leenzee. Unlike some of the most recent Soulslike releases, Wuchang is more faithful to the formula created by FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but the changes it does make might be the game's downfall. Still, for fans of the genre, it's another intriguing addition to an ever-growing list of standout gaming experiences. Wuchang is an ambitious Soulslike, which helps it stand o

Facts don't change minds, structure does

In 1633, Galileo Galilei stood before the Inquisition, not for inventing a radical new theory, but for proposing a straightforward idea: that the Earth moves around the Sun. This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle. We often chalk up the Church’s resistance to superstition or ignorance. While that played a role, there was something deeper at work.

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

If a 60-mile-wide (100-kilometer-wide) asteroid slammed into Earth tomorrow, it would render the planet inhospitable to nearly all life forms, save for the hardiest extremophiles. This mass extinction event would wipe humanity off the face of the Earth—there would be no survivors. To some experts, this is the true definition of an “existential threat.” Traditionalists will say this term describes a risk that endangers the very existence of something—in this case, the human species. In recent ye
