Crimson Desert’s reviews may be mixed, but here’s how you could get the game for just $1 and avoid buyer’s remorse

Crimson Desert is a game that occupies a 6-7/10 rating range, offering a fantasy-infused sandbox environment. Current reviews have not met player expectations, with scores falling short of the anticipated 8-9 range. Players assume the role of Kliff, a member of the Greymanes, tasked with rebuilding after an attack by the Black Bears. The gameplay features dragon riding, jetpack flights, and combat against various enemies, with a straightforward revenge narrative driving the combat system. The Fanatical Mystery Star Bundle offers inexpensive Steam keys, priced at £1 each, which may include Crimson Desert or other titles like Resident Evil Requiem. Purchasing multiple stars reduces the cost per star, making it possible to acquire Crimson Desert at a low price.

Android 16 has a silent VPN bug Google hasn’t fixed for months, claim multiple VPN providers

Multiple VPN providers are reporting a bug in Android 16 that disrupts their services and may compromise user security. The issue arises after VPN app updates, causing the apps to malfunction in the background and preventing users from connecting to the internet. Proton VPN first flagged the problem in September 2025, with other providers like Mullvad VPN, WireGuard, and TunnelBear also experiencing similar issues. The bug can leave users confused, as the VPN app may appear to be connecting but fails to provide internet access. Restarting the app does not resolve the issue; users may need to reboot their devices or reinstall the VPN. The bug affects a small percentage of users inconsistently, complicating diagnosis and resolution for developers. Google has not provided a comprehensive acknowledgment or solution, with the last communication indicating that the issue has been reported to relevant teams. Users are advised to monitor their VPN performance after app updates.

Marathon review in progress – exquisite gunplay and striking aesthetics cover up some frustrating cracks

Three bags of loot are accompanied by the bio-synthetic remains of their former owners, with pools of blue blood marking the ground. The narrator has transitioned from collaborating with players in Arc Raiders to a more competitive spirit in Marathon. The game features a striking user interface and vibrant aesthetics, but some aspects, like item transitions and menu designs, can be clunky and confusing. The map layouts have engaging points of interest but also feature obstructive barriers. The gunplay is praised for its quality, with balanced gameplay and challenging PvE enemies. PvP encounters have a quick time-to-kill, and environmental dangers add intensity. However, faction quests often rely on repetitive tasks, which can be frustrating despite the compelling narrative elements. The narrator expresses surprise at their engagement with the game and suggests that improvements to the user experience and quest diversity could enhance its longevity.

Anna’s Archive выложили на торренты 6,4 ТБ музыки из Spotify — это лишь малая часть всего архива

The Anna’s Archive project has released approximately 2.8 million audio files, totaling around 6.4 terabytes, from Spotify's database. The files are distributed through 47 torrent distributions and include music, individual releases, and metadata. The initial release features the least popular tracks, labeled as "pop_0," and contains embedded metadata such as track, album, artist, label, and publisher information. Anna’s Archive aims to preserve music and plans to publish more files in phases. Spotify has responded by disabling accounts involved in illegal scraping and has filed a lawsuit against the operators of Anna’s Archive, claiming damages in the trillions for copyright infringement. Some domains associated with Anna’s Archive have been disabled through court orders, prompting the service to consider relocating its infrastructure. Maintaining the full estimated catalog of 300 terabytes may require two to three times more storage space, potentially needing around 50 hard drives of 18 to 20 terabytes each.
