Wildgate Review – IGN

By

It only took one match of Wildgate to see the potential in its spacefaring PvPvE mayhem. The intensely cooperative chaos of managing a spacecraft, delving into PvE dungeons for loot, and fending off rival crews makes for complex and exciting contests of teamwork and communication. After dozens of matches and more than 20 hours of playtime, though, it’s also become clear that there’s plenty of room left to build on that compelling concept. There are only a small number of characters, ships, and weapons to bring into battle, and once you’ve trekked across a few matches worth of dungeons, you’ll…

Tales of the Shire Review – Review

By

Won’t exactly fill your stomach.Few things in existing fiction personify the modern cozy genre quite like Tolkien’s iconic Hobbits.

YouTube will no longer demonetize videos with ‘strong profanity’ in the first 7 seconds, but you’ll still need to ‘choose your f**ks carefully’

By

Back in 2022, YouTube introduced new rules for creators on its platform that demonetized videos containing “strong profanity” profanity in the first seven seconds. The results were not great: Unclear policies and uneven enforcement left more than a few YouTubers up in arms over the potential threat to their livelihoods.Several months later, YouTube eased up a little bit, saying videos containing “moderate profanity” would be eligible for full monetization while those using “stronger profanity” in the first seven seconds or “repeatedly throughout the majority of the video” would be eligible to run “limited ads.” Better, yes, but by much, and…
