Lost Judgement fuses serial killings and a skateboarding detective. You should play it.

Lost Judgment features a narrative centered around a serial killer targeting former school bullies, exploring the consequences of bullying. Players engage in various light-hearted activities such as skateboarding, building battle robots, and participating in dance tournaments, contrasting with the game's darker themes. The storyline follows Yagami as he investigates bullying in a school, focusing on motivations behind crimes rather than just solving them. The game includes rich side activities, such as advising a high school club and participating in competitions, enhancing player engagement. Combat mechanics feature three fighting styles: Crane, Tiger, and Snake, allowing for strategic gameplay. The Kaito Files expansion introduces new combat styles and a substantial storyline. The future of the Judgment series is uncertain due to issues surrounding the actor's image rights and the departure of a key developer.

Google App Revamps Voice Search Feature on Android

Google has redesigned its voice search feature for Android devices to improve accessibility and user experience. Key features include a modernized design with a centered gradient ‘G’, a back button with a three-dot overflow menu for voice settings, options for language and voice selection, and an updated dark theme. The new interface replaces the previous four-dot waveform design with a prompt stating “Listening…” and a friendly face illustration, along with a vibrant four-color arc beneath the transcribed query. Enhancements include a larger “Search a song” button that leads to a dedicated song search interface, encouraging users to “Play, Sing, Hum,” and a shortcut to Song Search history. The update is being gradually rolled out with version 17.1 (stable) and 17.2 (beta) of the Google app on Android devices, but is not yet widely accessible. There is anticipation for a potential upgrade to the text search interface to align with the new voice search features.
