Here’s a First Look at the Redesigned Clock App Coming with Material Design 3

Google is redesigning its Clock app to adopt the Material Design 3 Expressive theme, featuring a new font for improved readability, elongated time selectors for better interaction, and a larger squircle-shaped floating action button repositioned for easier access. The Clock tab will be renamed "World Clock," and the Alarms page will see a comprehensive redesign with a modern elongated time selector and additional options for alarm name, sound, vibration, weather forecast, and Google Assistant routines. The Timers section will change the play icon to a rectangular “Start” button, while the Stopwatch tab will shift to a cubical layout. The Bedtime mode will largely retain its existing design.

‘You can’t escape us’: Devolver plots to release a game on GTA 6’s release date, no matter when that is

Devolver Digital announced a cryptic message on X regarding the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, stating, "You can't escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then." The publisher is known for titles like Cult of the Lamb and Death's Door and is expected to unveil a game on the same day as GTA 6. Enter the Gungeon 2 is set for a 2026 release, while Hotline Miami 3 is speculated but not officially announced. If Rockstar Games delays GTA 6, Devolver may choose to release their game as planned or delay it. The timing may favor Devolver, as GTA 6 is unlikely to be available on PC at launch, potentially attracting PC gamers to an indie title.

Minecraft has not gotten worse, you were happier

Minecraft is a sandbox game that has evolved significantly since its initial release over fourteen years ago, receiving regular updates that introduce new blocks, mobs, and mechanics. While some players prefer the simplicity of earlier versions, others appreciate the innovations and complexities of newer updates. Critics argue that recent iterations have diminished the game's quality, but this perspective overlooks the fact that the newer versions are simply different, not inferior. The game encourages creativity and allows players to engage with any version they prefer, fostering a diverse community. Significant changes, such as the revamping of the Nether and the expansion of caves, have added new layers of difficulty. The fondness for earlier versions is often rooted in nostalgia rather than a decline in quality, and Minecraft's ongoing evolution is essential to its longevity and appeal.
