I’m sorry, I cannot resist chasing Hyper Demon’s pretty little birds
While Hyper Demon is a game of immense and almost uncomprehensible violence, the surprise sequel to Devil Daggers opens in such a lovely way. Before beginning your descent into deicide, you must claim the unholy knife with which you’ll commit first-person ultraviolence, and oh, there it is, surrounded by hopping little crystalline birds! What pretty birds they are! Oh, and they’re cheeping little tinging cheeps! And they hop back if I step towards them! And they flutter into the skies if I charge! And form a big flock if I chase long enough! Ah. Yeah, I think I see how our character ended up in superhell.
Sorry ‘Little Mermaid’ haters, YouTube’s dislike button doesn’t really do anything
YouTube’s removal of dislike counts in November 2021 led to a massive uproar from the community. But a new report from the Mozilla Foundation says that the dislike button doesn’t do much to change the YouTube experience anyway.
The report, released today, found two main problems with the tools that YouTube gives users to indicate that they no longer wish to see a certain type of content. First, it’s unclear what each tool does and second, using those tools doesn’t affect recommendations as strongly as users expect they will.
The foundation tracked the YouTube experience of 22,722 people and surveyed 2,758 of them about their experience with the content they saw on their feeds. More than 39 percent of those surveyed expressed feeling that YouTube’s user controls did not impact their recommendations at all, and 23 percent felt the controls had a mixed response.
The results of the research supported those sentiments, finding that clicking “don’t recommend channel” led to the prevention of 43 percent of bad recommendations, removing a video from your watch history led to 29 percent, clicking the dislike button led to 12 percent, and clicking “not interested” led to 11 percent.
Basically, users felt that YouTube didn’t listen to them because it doesn’t. That’s bad news for everyone except for the people who disliked the Little Mermaid trailer. In their cases, I hope they continue to get Halle Bailey content recommended to them until the end of time.

Sorry, but Ubisoft isn’t making a Blade game, says the developer itself
Despite what you might have recently heard, Ubisoft itself has squashed any rumours that it’s working on a Blade game.
The initial rumour that Ubisoft was developing a game based on the Marvel character Blade was due to Instagram posts from July showing motion-capture actors in Ubisoft-branded suits. Not only that, but one of the images shows one of the actors holding a clapperboard that says the production name is Marvel.
The flame of this rumour was then reignited when YouTuber and Ubisoft leaker JorRaptor pointed out how the clapperboard also lists Bassam Tariq as the director, who is directing Marvel’s 2023 Blade reboot. However, in a move that is quite unusual for a developer to do, Ubisoft actually put out an announcement to say that, no, the studio isn’t working on a Blade game.
