Things aren’t always simple when it comes to good versus evil in games. The most interesting games show that even the ‘good’ groups have flaws, and the ‘bad’ groups often have understandable reasons for their actions. Sometimes, the groups trying to do good actually end up causing problems, because even well-intentioned efforts can have negative consequences.
We recently had a chance to play the first two chapters of Tides of Tomorrow and got a good look at how its unusual multiplayer system affects both the story and how you play. While the game does have standard gameplay, it’s really focused on its narrative. Because of this, our preview will focus more on how the game uses its unique features to tell the story, rather than revealing the story itself – we don’t want to spoil it!
Researchers have developed a new method to detect malicious intent hidden within visually complex QR codes, offering a critical defense against a growing wave of ‘quishing’ attacks.
According to the soothsayers at CryptoQuant (who gaze into glowing screens as if they were ancient flames), the mighty wallets-once swollen with promises of immutable wealth-have begun to deflate. These are no mere peasants moving pennies; these are the aristocrats of crypto, whose very breath can stir the markets. And now, they exhale… and the price shudders.

Down 7%, looking as sprightly as a deflated balloon at a birthday party. 🎈
Mr. Thomas Lee, the esteemed CEO of Ethereum DAT Bitmine (BMNR), has declared, with all the solemnity such matters require, that the company’s holdings now surpass $14 billion. This prodigious sum, comprising both cryptocurrency and liquid assets, has rendered the financial world agog with astonishment. 💰
United Kingdom (U.K.) Prime Minister Keir Starmer now finds himself in the crosshairs of his own party’s more zealous members, who demand a full ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties. This, they claim, is to thwart the nefarious schemes of foreign powers, who, it seems, are now using crypto and AI to play a game of political hide-and-seek with our electoral system. 🤖💸
Tfue’s account ban isn’t an isolated incident. Many players are reporting they’ve been wrongly banned or had their accounts blocked for extended periods. This is happening shortly after the game developers, Embark Studios, announced improvements to their anti-cheat system, leading some to believe there’s an issue with the new system or an internal error.
So, after everything went down, it looks like Rockstar might’ve been trying to stop people from forming a union, specifically targeting employees who were part of the IWGB in the UK. Rockstar says that’s totally not true, though – they’ve denied it completely. It’s a messy situation, and as a gamer, I’m hoping it gets resolved fairly.
