While some might call this a chilling advancement of the global surveillance apparatus, Discord says these new "features" are "an experiment" that only applies to users in the United Kingdom and Australia, which recently passed laws requiring more rigorous age verification on platforms that might...
It wouldn't be a RuneScape game without level grinding, and RuneScape: Dragonwilds mixes XP grinding into the usual open-world survival game formula. Leveling up skills makes you more efficient at collecting materials and killing enemies and improving your skills also unlocks powerful spells that make so many parts of the game easier.It can be tough to level up skills in Dragonwilds, though, especially some of the less common ones like...

The Breakthrough Prize, whose co-founders include Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, and Yuri Milner, is kind of like the "Oscars of science" in that they're glitzy, televised, and crawling with Hollywood celebrities. The most recent prize ceremony, for instance, featured appearances by Mr Beast, Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow, and Katy Perry, among numerous others, none of whom do much to immediately bring my mind to, y'know, thoughts of science.That also holds...
Bethesda's long-rumored Oblivion remaster is now all but official, thanks to a leak from developer Virtuous Games that blabbed a bunch of screens and box art all over the internet yesterday.
