It’s my duty as a child of the early 2000s to let you know a Beyblade-inspired roguelike was released on Steam last month

From the Top is a top-battling roguelike game that was released on Steam last month. Players select battle tops and navigate a path similar to Slay the Spire, engaging in battles against enemy tops. Each top consists of three components that affect movement, collision force, and spin stamina, and features an active ability for dynamic combat. Players can discover unique combinations, such as a top that generates clones or one that can become intangible. The game includes various enemy types and challenging bosses with unique abilities. It is priced modestly and aims to evoke nostalgia for the Beyblade craze of the early 2000s, offering a safe alternative to physical Beyblade battles.

New Star Citizen update finally removes one of the most frustrating ways for a mission to go wrong

Star Citizen version 4.4 has introduced significant changes to the injury mechanics, moving away from random injury occurrences to defined "binary thresholds," which require approximately 1.5 times more damage for injuries to occur, resulting in a lower frequency of injuries. The maximum health reduction for initial tier-three injuries has been decreased, while various negative effects remain based on the injured body part: leg injuries cause slower movement, arm injuries lead to unstable weapon aim, chest injuries result in stamina penalties and wheezing, and head injuries impair vision and hearing. Other features in the patch include a requirement for rank-one reputation with Intersec for the Vanduul-Tech smugglers mission, activation of the IAE Expo Hall in Orison for testing, new weaponry such as the 'Triple Threat' and 'Boomtube,' and the introduction of the Nyx system with the asteroid Delamar and the mining facility of Levski. The patch is currently accessible for testing via the Public Test Universe (PTU).

Dream fears Minecraft career setback after breaking wrist in Sapnap sparring session

Dream, a Minecraft content creator, sustained a wrist fracture during a sparring session with fellow creator Sapnap in April 2025, which was meant to prepare Sapnap for the canceled Creator Clash 3 boxing event. The injury occurred when Dream, who had limited boxing experience, struck with his wrist instead of his knuckles while throwing punches. After experiencing wrist mobility issues and being unable to record videos, he was diagnosed with a scaphoid bone fracture that required surgery. Although he expected a one-month recovery, his healing has been prolonged, and he is currently wearing a cast and undergoing experimental ultrasonic therapy. In a YouTube video on November 4, Dream discussed the negative impact of his injury on his gaming performance, noting a decline in aim and precision while playing Minecraft, and expressed hope for recovery and a return to form.

Football Manager 26 review

Football Manager 26 is set to release on November 4, 2025, at a retail price of £50. The game features a new match engine developed in Unity, enhancing visual fidelity and player animations, allowing for more informed tactical decisions. The match experience has improved, fostering emotional connections between players and their teams, but the user interface redesign has led to confusion for some players due to the overwhelming amount of information. There are concerns about the pacing of gameplay, which feels slow, particularly in the early stages of a save. Despite these issues, the game maintains its appeal through a vast database of players and a richly simulated footballing world.
