I’ve found a Dark Messiah-inspired action sandbox where you can make banana spike traps and possess enemies to walk off cliffs, and I need it now

The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot is a sandbox action game developed by Stéphane Le Roy, featuring a core mechanic centered around kicking. Players can engage in various creative interactions, such as using nets to ensnare enemies, returning thrown spears, and employing dark humor tactics like luring foes to slip on banana peels. The demo showcases dismemberment mechanics and a sandbox environment that encourages exploration and experimentation. Players can level up and unlock new skills, although some melee attacks feel less impactful than expected. The game is set to be released on May 15.

Windows 11’s mandatory update is pushing users to Microsoft Edge

Microsoft has programmed its Edge browser to automatically launch after a Windows 11 update, displaying a page that informs users their update is complete and prompts them to explore new features. This page lacks a close button, directing users to click a blue "Next" button to proceed. The features highlighted include the reinstatement of the taskbar clock, the ability to pin Emojis to the taskbar, Copilot's document summarization, the Snipping Tool's Quick markup, and AI actions in File Explorer's context menu. Users can provide feedback via like and dislike buttons, but these do not close the page. Windows 11 also includes pre-installed Get Started and Get Help apps that could showcase features instead of redirecting users to Edge. Edge, built on the Chromium engine, supports all extensions from that platform and includes features like AI tab organizer, Vertical Tabs, and Immersive Reader.
