Stardew Valley Update 1.7 Will Expand a Fan-Favorite Feature for the First Time in 10 Years

ConcernedApe, the creator of Stardew Valley, recently told IGN that the upcoming Update 1.7 will add two new characters you can marry.

Barone hasn’t revealed who these new additions will be, but they will expand the number of potential partners slightly.

An Unexpected Hit Almost 25 Years Ago Changed Gaming Forever

I remember when The Sims first came out, and honestly, it was weird. There wasn’t some big quest or princess to rescue – you just… lived a life. That’s where the name came from, I guess! But Will Wright totally nailed something special with that game. It wasn’t just a hit; it changed how we think about games, created a whole genre, and inspired tons of other developers. Even now, over 25 years later, The Sims is still influencing game design. It’s funny looking back – everyone thought it wouldn’t work, but it ended up being a massive success and continues to push the industry forward.

The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy Brings Bridgerton-Level Drama to The Life Sim (Preview)

The Sims 4 is getting a new expansion pack called Royalty & Legacy on February 12th. This will be the 21st major expansion for the game, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most content-rich packs in a long time. Royalty & Legacy introduces a noble class to the game, along with a new world filled with existing storylines for players to explore. However, even if you don’t want to play as nobles, you can now focus on building a family legacy that spans multiple generations. I enjoyed trying out the preview version and seeing everything the pack offers, though I did encounter a few minor issues.

7 Most Underrated Sci-Fi Movies of the 2010s

The 2010s saw a surge in independent science fiction films thanks to more accessible technology. Powerful visual effects software became available to smaller productions, allowing them to create polished films that looked as good as big-budget blockbusters. This led to a wave of creative, low-budget sci-fi movies. While films like Ex Machina, Edge of Tomorrow, Looper, Under the Skin, and Annihilation gained critical acclaim and pushed the boundaries of the genre, many other excellent films didn’t receive the attention they deserved.
