The Trump-Vance ticket is distancing the party from a core constituency — and no one seems to mind.

Elden Ring is home to many caves, dungeons, and crypts, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. Sellia Crystal Tunnel can be discovered within the first moments of the game via a teleporter chest, though it can prove quite the challenge until a higher level. With proper guidance and perseverance, it can be completed early on, but not easily.

So, you're in the late game of Elden Ring and you've managed to conquer one of the toughest bosses in the game, Malenia. But now you're tasked with traveling to the Isolated Divine Tower to activate Malenia's Great Rune, which can be a little tricky to find, even for the most experienced Elden Ring players.

Digital Extremes is hard at work developing the new free-to-play fantasy MMO, Soulframe, and its name has confused parts of the gaming community who are under the impression its a Soulslike game. FromSoftware games Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, and Bloodborne have coined the subgenre Soulslike and Soulsborne over the years for their specific gameplay style and combat difficulty, but Soulframe has no relation.

It feels like The Sims has been around since the dawn of time, and its only gotten more immersive within the current generation. Players have also become accustomed to building iconic structures from television shows and films within the building parameters, and one player even recreated the disastrous Willy Wonka experience that happened in real-life Scotland.

Apple’s illustrious original programming may face tighter budgets. | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple is known to spend billions of dollars on its Hollywood projects, but that could be set to change following production losses across the wider streaming industry. According to Bloomberg, Apple’s senior vice president of services, Eddy Cue, is pushing studio chiefs Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht to oversee project budgets more closely in a bid to make its Apple TV Plus streaming business more sustainable. Apple invests heavily in individual projects compared to larger streaming companies like Netflix, having spent over $500 million on movies from directors Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon), Ridley Scott (Napoleon), and Matthew Vaughn (Argylle). While its original projects get plenty of attention during award seasons, B... Continue reading…

The UK's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children says Apple has been undercounting how often child sexual abuse material appears on its platforms. According to a The Guardian story, Cupertino isn't reporting the actual number of CSAM detections on its products. As tech companies are obligated to share possible child sexual abuse material on their platforms with the government, Apple made 267 reports of suspected CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children between April 2022 and March 2023. However, the NSPCC discovered that in this period, Apple was implicated in 337 recorded offenses of child abuse images. That said, Cupertino made fewer reports than the cases that happened solely in England and Wales. In contrast, other big techs have bigger numbers. Meta reported more than 30.6M suspected CSAM material in its platform, including 1.4M in WhatsApp. Google also reported more than 1.47M materials. It's unclear why Apple is undercounting possible CSAM cases. However, in late 2022, the company abandoned its plans to roll out an iCloud photo-scanning tool after a backlash that it would surveil users instead of only looking for possible child sexual abuse material. The company then said it prioritized users' security and privacy and would roll out other features to protect children instead. Still, the UK's watchdog points out that even though WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption like iMessage, the platform has reported infinitely more cases than Apple. To The Guardian, Sarah Gardner,  chief executive officer of Heat Initiative, a Los Angeles non-profit focused on child protection., said: "Apple does not detect CSAM in the majority of its environments at scale, at all. They are clearly underreporting and have not invested in trust and safety teams to be able to handle this." While Cupertino didn't comment on the story, it's unclear if Apple will have to respond to the UK watchdog or if it plans to change its approach to CSAM. BGR will keep following this story's development.
