Cities: Skylines’ next DLC will let you create car-free pedestrian zones
More than any other citybuilder, Cities: Skylines requires deep engagement with its traffic simulation. You can spend an endless number of (very satisfied) hours tweaking your road network to try to fix traffic jams. The next Cities: Skylines expansion might offer an alternative, however. The Plazas & Promenades DLC, announced today, will allow you to create pedestrian streets and zones where cars dare not tread. Find the first trailer below.

Please, Lego, let this engineer bring your computer brick to life
James Brown loves building weird displays. Like animatronic skulls, or mechanical bit-flipping cellular automatons. Or, in this case, an entire computer inside a mock Lego brick.
Not just any brick, either. I’m talking about the classic sloped Lego computers from our childhood spaceships, now brilliantly brought to life. They display fake radar scans, scrolling text, even an interactive homage to the Death Star trench run targeting computer that moves when you touch the exposed Lego studs.
@verge James Brown bought the tiniest, cheapest OLED screens he could find. He wanted to build a keyboard, but his mind’s eye soon saw an even more perfect combination. He tells The Verge he probably won’t sell them — at least not without legal…

Cameo will now let you video call celebs for 10 minutes, which is probably too long
Starting today (Aug. 18), Cameo will be offering 10-minute calls with celebs via a service they’re calling “Cameo Live,” which honestly sounds like too much time to spend with a celebrity. (Never meet your heroes.)
Through this new Live feature, you can choose to chat one-on-one or invite up to nine friends to join you. No information was available about average pricing for these sessions, but the company noted that “talent are firmly on board because the longer time frame and larger call attendance… build more personal relationships with fans than ever before.”
Cameo has tried this concept twice before: first by offering Zoom-call Cameos in June 2020 and then moving the service to their app with Cameo Calls of up to 15 minutes. But in their announcement today, the company referred to Cameo Calls (which will be phased out) as its “two-minute meet & greet product.”
That implies that the original Cameo Call length of 15 minutes was… 13 minutes too long.
Industry precedent (and common sense) confirms that even an awkward five minutes can feel like an eternity. The K-Pop industry, which has been hosting fan calls since March 2020, only allows about 90 seconds per group member. To attend, fans buy albums from approved merchants, with each album counting as a single entry into a lottery for a limited number of fan call slots.
Cameo Live isn’t such a gamble; you’re all but guaranteed a call with your favorite reality TV star for a fee. But maybe keep that call to a quick, cute five minutes.
