Old Skies review

Wadjet Eye Games will release the adventure game Old Skies on April 23, 2024. The game is set in a futuristic New York City in the 2060s and follows Fia Quinn, a ChronoZen agent who guides wealthy tourists through time manipulation. Fia is chronolocked, remaining unchanged by the timeline's fluctuations, which contrasts with her clients' evolving lives. The gameplay features accessible puzzles that encourage logical thinking, including a scenario where Fia must create a life-saving drug from non-existent ingredients. The game departs from Wadjet Eye's traditional pixel art style, using bold colors and comic book-inspired designs. It features a jazzy score by Thomas Regin and explores themes of love, loss, and human emotion. Fia's character development highlights her struggle for agency in her role, with her experiences portrayed through Sally Beaumont's performance.

Microsoft’s Windows Recall should’ve been everything Opera’s Browser Operator promises to be on paper — an AI agent with a “pause button” to preserve user privacy

Generative AI is changing digital interactions, particularly with AI-driven chatbots like Microsoft Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT, which may challenge Google's search dominance.

It understands natural language instructions and pauses for user input during sensitive actions. Opera emphasizes that Browser Operator does not send any user information to its servers and uses a textual representation of web pages for context. The tool can handle cookie prompts and verification dialogs without hindering functionality.

How to Make Night Vision Potion in Minecraft? | Esports News – The Times of India

Minecraft features a Night Vision Potion that enhances visibility in dark areas, making it easier to explore caves and oceans. To brew this potion, players need the following essential materials: a Crafting Table, a Brewing Stand (made from 1 Blaze Rod and 3 Cobblestones), Blaze Powder (from 1 Blaze Rod), Water Bottles (crafted from 3 Glass), Nether Wart (found in Nether Fortresses), and a Golden Carrot (crafted from 1 Carrot and 8 Gold Nuggets). Optional materials include Redstone (to extend duration), Gunpowder (to create a Splash Potion), and Dragon’s Breath (for a Lingering Potion). The brewing process involves crafting a Brewing Stand, fueling it with Blaze Powder, preparing Water Bottles, brewing Awkward Potions with Nether Wart, and adding a Golden Carrot to create the Night Vision Potion, which lasts for 3 minutes. Redstone can be added to extend the duration up to 8 minutes. Advanced variations include the Splash Potion of Night Vision (using Gunpowder) and the Lingering Potion of Night Vision (using Dragon’s Breath). The Night Vision Potion increases brightness levels to 15, significantly improving visibility underwater and in low-light conditions, making it useful for mining, building, and adventuring. Tips for successful brewing include growing Nether Wart for a consistent supply, stocking up on gold for Golden Carrots, and using Redstone wisely for extended effects.
