The report also points out that Safari has received access to key functions of WebKit and the operating system, earlie...

In theory (if not always in practice), the superhero genre is founded on clear-cut morality. Sure, there’s plenty of scope for costumed adventurers to grapple with power and responsibility, and their lawbreaking adversaries sometimes have a point. But in the average DC or Marvel joint — hell, arguably even in edgier fare like The Boys...

The Sims players among us have been gazing cautiously at inZOI, a new neighbourhood and life management game from Krafton. I am cautious for essentially two reasons. One is that the game makes use of live generative AI: you can stuff its jaws with text, images and video to create items such as outfits and animate your pet humans, here known as Zois.

As a result, it feels like every life game has to have those exact same elements - realistically, we all just want to smooch our favorite villagers. Mirthwood, a farming sim that transports Stardew's traditional mechanics into a hand-drawn, Fable-esque world, has sadly been lacking in the marriage department, but not anymore. Rejoice, my ho...
