After cranking up the difficulty, I am once again asking: How many of these games with pixel art styles can you identify?

The instructor shared that the previous pixel art quiz was too accessible and announced plans for more challenging quizzes. The upcoming quizzes will cover topics such as health bars, in-game currencies, and patch notes, with a new format requiring participants to identify games from distorted images. The quizzes will include a mix of easier and more difficult questions focused on pixel art games. Participants will have six minutes to identify as many of the 15 games as possible. Feedback will be encouraged in the comments section after the quiz.

How you can claim free Ubisoft games on PC for 13 Xbox digital purchases

Ubisoft is offering select users the chance to claim free PC versions of specific digital games purchased on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. This promotion includes titles such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Far Cry 6. Users must link their Xbox and Ubisoft Connect accounts to claim the games, which also includes season pass purchases and downloadable content, but excludes in-game currencies. The Ubisoft Connect app provides an overview of owned titles, and the process is one-way, meaning users cannot claim the Xbox version of a game they already own on PC. Additionally, Ubisoft is enhancing the Xbox PC app with new games featuring premium editions and add-on content.

Force any site into dark mode with Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is set to introduce a feature that allows users to enforce dark mode on any website as part of the "Web Remix" initiative. This feature enables users to customize web pages, including simplifying articles, providing summaries, organizing recipes into shopping lists, converting prices to local currencies, and updating webpage appearances. It operates locally and can be toggled on or off via a button in the address bar. Users can access Web Remix by enabling specific flags in Edge Canary. While it effectively applies dark mode to websites lacking native support, results may vary, and some elements may be altered in ways that are not ideal. Premium extensions like Dark Reader offer more nuanced dark mode customization compared to Web Remix.

Riot teases League of Legends Classic, with a full reveal coming in two weeks

Riot Games has confirmed the existence of League of Legends Classic after low-poly character models were leaked from public test servers. The announcement was made by executive producer Paul "Pabro" Bellezza in a skit titled "200 Years of Experience." A full reveal of the Classic mode is scheduled for July 11 during the MSI Finals. The video description suggests that the Classic mode may evolve over time, raising questions about the use of original currencies, the potential return of the Twisted Treeline 3v3 map, and the fate of old rune pages and quintessences. The announcement taps into nostalgia for the game's earlier versions, which had different mechanics and visuals compared to the current game. A previous fan-made server called Chronoshift was shut down by Riot, who indicated that a retro version was forthcoming.
