Since #GodotEngine fixed GD Extensions in web export, Yuri Sizov ported a simple synthesizer to work on the web.
It can take a minute to load and ignore the loading bar. And it only works in Chromium browsers right now (Mozilla isn't supported).

Typical #Ubisoft announced a new game moment! Fans and investors were fairly cold after the announcement of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
And no, it's not about the main character: the biggest flop is that Ubisoft will make a separate subscription ecosystem for AC fans to build up their dream world where you don't own games and only subscribe for them. And yes, it's a separate one from the main Ubisoft subscription system and you need both to get all the bells and whistles.

Fun fact: #NVIDIA users can apply Screen Space Raytraced Global Illumination (or SSRTGI) as a filter in many games. It will add a lot of missing shadows and lights — check out how car paint reflects the red light and a lot of extra shadows appear on the second example.
It works as a filter that you can find by pressing Alt + Z (Filters — SSRTGI). Not every game is supported and not everywhere it works well: for example, it's broken in New Vegas but works well in Fallout 4.
Use Low or Medium quality presets since they are barely affecting performance (5-7%) and still bring depth into the scene. If some game shows no extra shadows, try to toggle Z-axis switch.

Dragon Age Inquisition is #FREE on Epic Games Store! As a person who has 230+ hours in the game, can definitely recommend!
There are dozens of locations to explore and your choices will heavily shift the world. Qunari and Elves are the best choice to begin with since they will have a lot more to tell due to their origins.

Marvel and NetEase only allowed bloggers to try their new "Overwatch like shooter" after they agreed not to criticize it in any way.
It ended up with a huge backfire and now companies pretend that it was accidental and the contract was misunderstood. So it will be improved and they are "happy to hear any feedback". Sure thing!
Imagine you are Asus — the famous computer hardware company... and your new policy is to scam people during service repairs. Asus now breaks things during "repair" and asks for insane payments from customers (sometimes higher than the price of the initial device)
But what if a blogger will find it out and will become a secret customer?

To keep ruining the reputation, instead of rolling back changes, Sony restricted sales of Helldivers II in 170 countries...
There are fewer than 200 countries (even with disputed territories) and not all of them are on Steam. Which means there are like 25 locations left where you can still buy the game.
