I’m sorry, but I’m here to say that I really do not enjoy parrying stuff in videogames

The introduction of parrying mechanics into turn-based combat games has caused confusion and frustration among players who value the strategic depth of traditional turn-based gameplay. Many gamers feel overwhelmed by this shift, longing for simpler mechanics that allow for strategic planning rather than reactionary gameplay. While some appreciate the challenge of parrying, others believe it detracts from the satisfaction of executing well-thought-out plans. There is a desire for game developers to explore alternative ways to challenge players without relying on trends like parrying, which may not align with the core essence of turn-based games. Players yearn for a return to the simplicity and depth that once defined the genre.

Windows 10 Upgrade Guide: How to delay, avoid or survive the switch to Windows 11

Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, ceasing to provide new patches and security updates. Users can enroll in the Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates program to receive critical security updates for an additional year, until October 2026, for a fee. Alternatively, users can redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points for a free year of updates or use the Windows Backup App to qualify for the free updates. Upgrading to Windows 11 is free if the PC meets the system requirements. Users whose PCs do not qualify for Windows 11 may consider replacing their device or exploring other operating systems like macOS, ChromeOS, or Linux. Nearly half of all Windows PCs globally still run Windows 10, highlighting the potential security risks of remaining on an unsupported operating system.

Humanities professors Michael Call and Brian Croxall at BYU have launched a video gaming initiative that combines technology and the humanities. Every Monday at 4:00 p.m., students attend a lecture on a selected video game, followed by gameplay throughout the week. The initiative began with games like Stardew Valley and Minecraft and aims to explore various games and their cultural significance. Croxall emphasizes the artistic value of video games, comparing them to traditional forms of art. Call highlights the historical connection between 17th-century French society and gaming, noting the lack of academic discussion around video games on campus. The series provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue among faculty. Call points out the cognitive, emotional, and social benefits of gaming, while also cautioning against excessive gaming.
