When we think of pirate games nowadays the first names that spring to mind are Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Sea of Thieves, and, possibly, Skull and Bones. Go back in time 14 years however, and it was Captain Blood, an extremely God of War inspired seafaring hack-and-slash, that was keeping the genre alive. Stylish, bloody, and gleefully profane, if you haven’t heard of Captain Blood it’s probably because it never actually came out - despite a concerted publicity campaign and several restarted attempts at development, the last time Captain Blood was seriously in the public eye was back in 2010. But that’s all about to change. Long believed dead, somehow, someway, Captain Blood is now playable on Steam.

Image: Qualcomm Qualcomm has canceled its Snapdragon Dev Kit, the miniature Windows on Arm PC that was originally supposed to ship in June. In an email to customers, Qualcomm said the mini PC “has not met our usual standards of excellence” and orders will now be refunded. Qualcomm has been struggling to ship the mini PC for months now, after originally planning to release it in June alongside the chips that powered the first wave of Copilot Plus PCs.

I regularly swap between iOS and Android devices, and using 1Password on iOS feels like a far better experience in Chrome even though it... Continue reading…
