You’ve got until Monday to get 80% off 2 of the best dungeon crawlers ever made

The early 2010s saw a resurgence in the gaming industry with retro revival projects, facilitated by platforms like Steam and funding models like Kickstarter. One notable title from this period is Legend of Grimrock, a first-person dungeon crawler released in 2012 that revitalizes classic game mechanics. The game and its sequel, Legend of Grimrock 2, are currently available on Steam at an 80% discount, with the original priced at £2.55 and the sequel at £4, or together for £5. Legend of Grimrock 2 expands gameplay by introducing new environments, weapons, monsters, spells, and puzzles, and features level editors for community-created content. Legend of Grimrock 2 is the final project of Almost Human Games, whose members later formed Ctrl Alt Ninja, developing the tactical RPG Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest in 2019. The status of the developer is unclear, as many members have returned to traditional roles in other studios. The discount on the games ends on Monday.

Why Facebook Messenger says “this chat is no longer active”

A recent update to Facebook Messenger has caused users to lose access to long-standing conversations, displaying a warning that states, “This chat is no longer active,” and redirecting them to a different encrypted thread. Users have reported that they can still view past messages but cannot reply, react, or forward content, effectively turning conversations into archives. This change is part of Meta's initiative to make end-to-end encryption the default for Messenger, which was announced in 2023. When two chats exist with the same contact—one regular and one encrypted—users must choose which chat remains active, archiving the other. Users have expressed confusion and concern over this abrupt transition, despite the privacy benefits of default encryption.

Gemini app’s clunky UI may be getting a massive overhaul

Google is making a "huge investment" in a "UX 2.0" overhaul for the Gemini app, which includes developing a native macOS version. The upcoming changes aim to enhance the user experience with cleaner navigation, clearer entry points, and a more intuitive layout. The Android version has already introduced a refreshed homepage with a cleaner greeting banner, a darker background in dark mode, and reorganized action chips for easier navigation. Tools like “Create image,” “Deep Research,” and “Write anything” are now more accessible, and a “My Stuff” section allows users to revisit generated content. The native macOS app will improve file management and integration with system features, moving away from browser limitations.
