Religious statue is mocked for ‘looking like something from Minecraft’

A 100-foot statue of Jude the Apostle has been unveiled in Esperanza, Puebla State, Mexico, but has faced mockery for its design, which some compare to video game aesthetics. The statue features the saint's traditional green and white attire, with plans to add a wooden staff. Construction began in 2024 but was delayed due to weather and ecological concerns, and it was inaugurated last week. Local authorities hope it will attract pilgrims during Saint Jude Thaddeus's feast day celebrations. The backlash parallels a previous controversy in Seville regarding the restoration of a Virgin Mary statue, which led to protests and adjustments after criticism of its altered appearance.

Rust’s ‘Pivot or Die’ update was meant to shake up the meta, but it’s a nightmare for solo survivors that leaves me no choice but to die

Facepunch has released an update for Rust, urging players to adapt to significant changes in the game's progression system, particularly affecting solo players and smaller groups. The update introduced a "soft progression gate" to encourage early confrontations and reduce clan dominance. Changes include the addition of Basic and Advanced Blueprint Fragments to workbench recipes, making resource accumulation more challenging and incentivizing combat. New loot refresh times at monuments have led to players camping these locations, causing further scarcity of resources. The November update adjusted puzzle timers to prevent pausing due to player proximity and introduced lethal radiation before loot resets. This has made it harder for solo players and small groups to compete, as they remain limited to lower-tier workbenches while larger clans advance more rapidly. The gameplay has shifted towards a more combat-focused experience, resembling a battle royale format, which some players find less appealing. Unofficial servers may provide a more balanced experience.

After 21 years of waiting, Bloodlines 2’s Steam reviews are exactly what I expected

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has received a 'Mixed' rating on Steam, currently sitting at 56% positive feedback. The game suffers from poor optimization, a disjointed combat system, and a lackluster narrative, despite some strong character development, particularly with the Malkavian character, Fabien. Players feel the game does not adequately connect to its predecessor, with many stating it is "Bloodlines in name only." Performance issues, such as the inability to disable Motion Blur, have also been criticized. On launch day, the game peaked at over 27,000 players. Future patches and downloadable content may improve the experience.

How to save in Vampire: The Masquerade

In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, players can only save their progress through an auto-save system that activates at certain checkpoints, marked by Anarch Tags. Quitting the game does not trigger a save, and players are warned that exiting to the main menu will result in the loss of unsaved progress. The game has only one auto-save slot, which is overwritten when starting a new playthrough, though previous saves are preserved in a file starting from a checkpoint. Players can access a chapter select option by choosing 'Load Game' at the title screen, allowing them to start from completed quests, with a total of 22 unique saves available for those who have finished the game. Selecting a quest will overwrite the current auto-save.
