Connecting a DualSense controller to a computer can be tricky, but a dedicated developer is trying to improve compatibility.

For a limited time, Xbox Game Pass Premium, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass subscribers can download Persona 5 Royal for free. Persona 5 Royal is an expanded and enhanced version of the 2016 role-playing game, Persona 5, developed by Atlus.

As a huge Star Wars fan, one of the things I always enjoy is how each new show or movie introduces fresh elements – usually with some fantastic new starships! But it’s also great when they connect to what we already know and love. Like, seeing the N-1 Starfighter from the prequels appear in The Mandalorian was a real treat. And The Mandalorian & Grogu is doing that again; not only do we get more of the Razor Crest (thank goodness!), but it’s finally bringing some ships that have been part of the official story for ages to life on screen. It’s exciting to see these previously unseen vessels actually fly!

I’ve always been captivated by the strange and imaginative story of Alice in Wonderland, which blends playful fantasy with a darker side. Even now, as an adult, I still show my love for it with an Alice in Wonderland phone case and several tattoos featuring quotes and characters from the book.

Currently, the game Schrödinger’s Call is only available on PC and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Acrobatic Chirimenjako and published by Shueisha Games, this visual novel is proving to be a huge success. It’s received an impressive 89 on Metacritic, but players actually seem to love it even more. While the Nintendo eShop doesn’t have user reviews, the game boasts a 96% approval rating on Steam, based on 613 reviews – earning it the platform’s highest “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating. This is a fantastic debut for the developer!

Rumors have been circulating that the Steam Machine project might be canceled, but Valve has already invested a lot of money into it and will likely want to recoup some of those costs. Because of this, cancellation seems unlikely. A recent report suggests Valve will soon announce the machine’s price and release date.

Adapting stories into the wrong format often leads to failure, a common problem during the fantasy surge of the 2000s. While movies might seem like a good fit due to their potential for spectacle, television is generally better suited for complex fantasy narratives because it allows more time to fully develop long books and series. These adaptations demonstrate that point – they didn’t succeed as films but thrived as TV shows. Based on this pattern, an upcoming series looks poised to surpass its previous movie version.

I noticed the manga went on hold back in March of 2023, and there wasn’t any explanation given at the time. Usually when a series pauses like that, it’s due to the author needing a break for health reasons, but we haven’t gotten official word on that. Thankfully, Anime News Network just reported it will be back! They said the next issue, coming out on July 10th, 2026, will include a new chapter. It was already planned that Volume 23 would finish the story, so it looks like we’ll get three more chapters to wrap everything up.
