One Move Away is a great cosy packing game, even if it had me rage-flinging boxes into the back of a truck

One Move Away is a game that uses the act of packing as a storytelling device, allowing players to engage with the life of an unnamed protagonist. The game begins in 1973 with the protagonist as a baby, teaching players mechanics like stacking and organizing items. As the protagonist grows, players experience significant life events, such as moving into their first apartment, where they must fit possessions into small moving vehicles. The game captures the satisfaction of packing while also depicting the stress of transitions. Players may reflect on their own moving experiences, facing challenges like fitting large furniture and improvising packing strategies. Ultimately, the game emphasizes the joy of problem-solving and the satisfaction found in imperfect solutions.

Helldivers 2 begins the long march back into the community’s good books with a technical patch that represents the ‘opening salvo’ in a battle for better performance

Helldivers 2 is experiencing community dissatisfaction due to a lackluster Warbond and a decline in enthusiasm after the Siege of Cyberstan event, resulting in 'Mostly Negative' reviews on Steam. In response, Arrowhead is rolling out a series of patches for game performance, with a focus on improved upscaling support, advanced visual optimizations, and reduced latency through Nvidia Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag 2, starting May 27. A dedicated tech-focused update is expected later this summer. Additionally, Arrowhead plans to enhance the game with longer in-game events, new vehicles, and additional red stratagems. Despite some player dissatisfaction, the overall consensus on Steam remains 'Very Positive.'

Monitor live traffic from V2X signals with V2X2MAP open-source Android app and an ESP32-C5 development board

The OpenTrafficMap initiative has introduced the ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver board, which uses 802.11p / ITS-G5 V2X communication over the 5.9 GHz WiFi 6 spectrum for traffic management. Peter Holzhauser has forked the firmware for this receiver and ported it to the Waveshare ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT development board, adding Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) streaming capabilities. He also developed the V2X2MAP open-source Android app to interface with the board, allowing users to monitor live traffic and visualize detected nodes on the OpenTrafficMap website. The ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver board includes an ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module, a GPS module, and an Ethernet port with Power over Ethernet (PoE). The V2X2MAP app captures signals from vehicles' on-board units (OBUs) and roadside units (RSUs) on the 5.9 GHz V2X band, collecting data such as GPS coordinates, speed, hazard alerts, traffic light countdowns, and intersection geometry. The app can update maps offline and refresh data via MQTT. The source code for the firmware and the V2X2MAP app is available on GitHub under an MIT license. The firmware has been adapted for the Waveshare ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT, which is available for purchase online. Users are cautioned about legal considerations regarding the reception and forwarding of ITS-G5 radio data, particularly concerning GDPR compliance in Europe. The ITS-G5 standard is primarily used in Europe, while other regions may rely on C-V2X technology.

Keep your GTA 6, the news I can finally play the console-exclusive DLC for Saints Row 2 from 2009 on PC is what I’ve been waiting for

In 2009, three DLC packs for Saints Row 2 were released: Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and the Unkut Pack. The first two DLCs focused on missions against the Ultor Corporation and added new vehicles, clothing, and a unique NPC homie voiced by Tera Patrick. The Unkut Pack, which included over 60 customization options, was only available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, leaving PC gamers without access to this content. The PC version of Saints Row 2 faced bugs and lacked certain features, such as the Balding Mullet hairstyle. Currently, players can enhance their experience with the Juiced Patch 9.0.0+, although some mods may have compatibility issues. To install the PC DLC, players need to download it and unzip it into the Saints Row 2 root directory.
