Lucy, a supporting character from the Netflix show Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, is now available as a guest character in the fighting game Guilty Gear Strive. There isn't much backstory as to how Lucy wound up in the Guilty Gear universe other than that she was in a deep dive on the net and wound up somewhere else.

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-07 02:53:52

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. And one that a few companies like Uber Freight and Flock Freight are already chasing as part of broader business models that match truck drivers with companies selling goods. San Francisco-based startup Oway is seeking out a narrower business model that more closely resembles Uber for freight, especially

Earlier this week at Gamescom, Crunchyroll unveiled a first look at its upcoming Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime, Sekiro: No Defeat, which adapts the popular PlayStation Soulslike game developed by FromSoftware, Inc. But in the wake of the trailer’s release, concerns from fans online began to suggest and speculate that some off-looking parts of the trailer may have been down to a use of generative AI.

Scientists Say They've Figured Out a Way to Turn Nuclear Waste Into a Powerful Fuel
