Most games put players in control of a hero, or at least someone with a heroic mission. There's a much smaller market for games where you play as the monster, but who knew playing the villain was so much fun?

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, even among other Soulsborne games, is lightning fast. Sekiro allows for many different approaches and playstyles to take on these bosses, and that openness is what makes it such a great game. Most enemies are fairly grounded, being archers or sword wielders, and each fight is a test of battle prowess.

Stepping up to the 10th-gen iPad nets you a modern design, a faster processor, and — yes — support for USB-C. | Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge There have been plenty of rumors swirling regarding a new iPad Mini for more than a year now, but most indicators point toward a processor bump and little else. We haven’t heard much about a new entry-level iPad, though, which makes it a great time to pick up either the ninth- or 10th-gen model — both of which are still on sale for their best price to date in the wake of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. Right now, you can grab Apple’s last-gen iPad at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target with Wi-Fi and 64GB of storage starting at $199 ($130 off). The 10th-gen model, meanwhile, is available from the same three retailers — Amazon, Best Buy, and Target — in the same configuration starting at $299 ($50 off). You can also pick up either with 256GB of... Continue reading…

Meta has a suggestion for folks like me who forgot to go outside and look at the Northern Lights on Thursday night: just use AI to fake it! But Threads users who replied to Meta’s idea, posted along with three AI-generated images of the Aurora Borealis Meta last night, seem to disagree. Here’s Meta’s post: The images show the Northern Lights hovering over the Golden Gate Bridge, over a city skyline, and over a ferris wheel. It’s clearly meant to latch onto a trending moment of people posting their own pictures of the Northern Lights from the amazing and rare display of the lights, which plunged deep into the United States on Thursday night. Once you get past the first few comments from people sharing their own AI-generated Northern... Continue reading…

The Apple One subscription has been available for a few years now. By combining several Apple services in a bundle, users can gain access to iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and, in the premium tiers, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+. However, there's one service Apple has been neglecting for years, and it would make a killer addition to the Apple One subscription: Apple Books+. While we keep asking where in the world Apple Books+ is to rival Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited service, it seems the service might never see the light of day. Recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed that Apple cut some jobs in the Books department, which shows the company's lack of interest there. Still, one can dream. On Threads, Nick Cozier shared a concept of what Apple Books+ could look like and offer -- and we loved it. According to his concept, Apple Books+ would feature at least seven exclusive perks. First and foremost, the subscription would bring unlimited reading and listening through the Apple Books+ subscription. What makes me excited about this concept is the book's enhanced editions. While the designer doesn't specify what it could look like at this point, I imagine it could be a new way to interact with books, such as Harry Potter or kids' novels. Post by @nickcozierdesign View on Threads https://www.threads.net/embed.js The service would feature daily reading goals, similar to Apple's Activity Rings. It would be nice to make users read more, which helps relieve stress, tension, and anxiety. In addition, exclusive Apple Book Clubs could help subscribers see what famous people are reading and engage, in some way, with their impressions of the books they're reading. Visual storytelling would be available, and, of course, Apple Books+ would be accessible on the Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and iPhone. Personally, I think Cozier pointed out all the major features Apple should add to an Apple Books subscription. Even though it's unclear if this service could ever launch, I think this could be more worth it than the current Apple News+ service, which seems to rely more on puzzle games than deals with publishers.
