Ashly Burch, voice of Horizon’s Aloy and star of Mythic Quest, is currently obsessed with Slay the Spire 2 and thinks videogames have too many stoic characters: ‘I want more sh*tty little b*tches’

Ashly Burch began her gaming journey with a Donkey Kong knockoff on her mother's typing practice computer and was significantly influenced by LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle. She gained recognition through the online sketch show Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' and is known for her voice roles as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2, Chloe in Life is Strange, Parvati Holcomb in The Outer Worlds, and Aloy in Guerrilla Games' Horizon series. Burch is currently working on a YouTube comedy series called I'm Happy You're Here, which aims to make mental health discussions more accessible. She is currently playing The Incident at Galley House, a detective game, and has uninstalled Fields of Mistria after spending many hours on it. Her Steam Deck still has Kentucky Route Zero installed, a game she hasn't finished due to its abstract nature. Burch has logged 270 hours in Slay the Spire and considers League of Legends, especially its ARAM mode, a game she will never uninstall. She uses Audacity for voice auditions and maintains a tidy desktop to support her creative process.

Android Users Can Now Share Their Passkeys In Just A Few Steps

Ditching passwords for passkeys has become a more secure option, but these keys are often tied to a single device, posing challenges for cross-platform usage. Google has improved the process for Android users to share and transfer passkeys, allowing easier transitions between password management tools like 1Password and Bitwarden. Previously, transferring passkeys required creating new keys, but now users can move both passwords and passkeys through a secure mechanism within Android. This feature supports popular tools such as 1Password, Bitwarden, Google Password Manager, and Dashlane. Users can transfer passkeys to preferred mobile password managers, facilitating access across multiple devices. The transfer feature is valuable for migrating passkeys between applications, enhancing user experience and security as more individuals adopt passkeys.

Android Auto’s Wavy Audio Line Is Leaving Users Conflicted

Google Maps is experiencing a bug that affects traffic information, coinciding with the rollout of a redesigned media player interface for Android Auto that features a new squiggly audio playback progress line inspired by Material 3 design. User reactions to the new interface have been mixed, with some appreciating the improved visibility of the current track while others criticize the layout changes and seek ways to revert to the previous design, which is not straightforward. The rollout of these updates has been slow and inconsistent, with some users reporting different experiences based on their devices. Enhancements in the new design include expanded album art display and repositioned media playback buttons, which many users find beneficial for easier track changes while driving.

Google Play Early Access Abused to Push Thousands of Deceptive Android Apps

Bad actors are exploiting Google Play's Early Access program to distribute misleading applications that promise money, rewards, and casino winnings. This program allows developers to gather user feedback on unreleased apps but lacks public reviews or star ratings, enabling malicious actors to launch numerous fraudulent applications without immediate scrutiny. An example is the app "Vice Streets: Open World," which mimics Grand Theft Auto, has over 1 million downloads, and recently disappeared from the store without reviews or ratings. These deceptive apps are often promoted on social media with misleading advertisements and promise cash rewards, but users face obstacles when trying to withdraw their earnings. The primary goal of these apps is to generate revenue through excessive advertisements while circumventing regulatory requirements for legitimate gambling apps. Additionally, various malware families targeting Android devices have emerged, including Hagaseca, Mantax Otax, StreamRat, and GoldFactory's use of the Gigabud banking trojan, highlighting ongoing security threats in the digital landscape.
