I’m sick to death of the April Fool’s dating sim trend. Thankfully, Discord is doing something different

April 1 has become a day of mixed feelings in the gaming industry, with media professionals navigating through numerous exaggerated claims and jokes. This year, the creativity of April Fool's pranks appears to have diminished. One notable release is Last Meadow Online, a "multiplayer quadruple-A sequel" to The Last Meadow, described as a DIMMIRPG (Discord-Based Massively Multiplayer Incremental Role Playing Game). Players join Wumpus, a Discord mascot, to face a dragon named 'Grass Toucher' threatening his hometown. The game features a hand-drawn clicker style, allowing players to choose from three classes—Paladin, Ranger, or Priest—and craft items, but they must wait 24 hours to switch classes or craft. Players can attack, craft, or gather resources, engaging in battles by holding down an 'adventure' button. Last Meadow Online is accessible on Discord until April 7, offering participants a limited-edition badge.

Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC

Microsoft is testing a new feature for its Edge browser on Windows 11 that allows the browser to launch automatically upon startup. A banner in the latest Edge Beta build informs users that the app "now launches when you sign into Windows." If users do not select "No thanks," Edge will open automatically each time the PC starts. This feature operates on an opt-out basis and may be available even if Edge is not the default browser. Additionally, Edge is increasingly integrated with Copilot, which has transitioned to an Edge-powered web experience.

I’m testing Android 17’s app bubbles, and I’ve already found a big problem

The author transitioned from a Samsung device to the Pixel 10 Pro and appreciates the new app bubbles feature introduced in Android 17 Beta 3, which allows users to launch apps in a movable and collapsible window. This feature is particularly useful for multitasking, such as accessing notes or media while using other apps. However, the author notes that app bubbles have limitations, including a cumbersome process to open them, lack of resizing options, and issues with returning to full-screen mode. In contrast, Samsung's pop-up windows offer more flexibility and convenience. Despite these drawbacks, the author remains hopeful for improvements to app bubbles in future updates.

Samsung’s Hearapy App Uses Sound to Ease Motion Sickness on Android

Samsung has launched the Hearapy app, an Android application aimed at alleviating motion sickness through sound therapy. The app is available on the Google Play Store and uses a "clear 100 Hz bass sine tone" to stimulate the vestibular system, which is essential for balance. Users listen to this tone via headphones for about 60 seconds, with playback adjustable between 40 and 120 seconds. Samsung claims that one minute of listening can reduce motion sickness symptoms for up to two hours. The app is designed to work with most headphones but is optimized for Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. The concept is based on research from Nagoya University, which found that specific sound wavelengths can help reduce discomfort during travel. However, the app's effectiveness may vary based on headphone quality and sound output.
