Dune: Awakening presents itself as an immersive survival video game set in the iconic universe of Dune, but some players have expressed concerns about its building mechanics. In this game, users must face thirst and the need to build shelters in a hostile desert, as well as deal with the threat of gigantic worms that patrol their surroundings.
A game that artistically could offer more
Despite the interesting premise, the building experience has left many wanting more. According to early analyses, players start with limited options for building, which constrains both creativity and the aesthetics of the bases. This situation contrasts with the visual and narrative richness of Dune, where imposing settings and varied architecture are fundamental.
The comparison with other titles in the genre, such as Satisfactory and Grounded, reveals a lack of refinement in the building tools of Dune: Awakening. Many players have found themselves frustrated with the limitations in the arrangement of elements and the lack of aesthetic variety, highlighting the use of homogeneous gray blocks that clash with the rich universe of the game.
Despite these concerns, there is an expectation that the game will include unlockable elements that allow for the construction of more diverse architectural structures, reflecting the opulence of various houses, such as House Corrino. Players have expressed a desire to see more varied and creative representations on the map of Arrakis, which would help bring the gaming experience to life.
With the beta of Dune: Awakening already underway, developers have the opportunity to refine these elements before the official launch. Players hope for more satisfying building options that honor the rich mythology of the universe created by Frank Herbert.
Apple plans to launch its first foldable device in 2028, a development that, according to the well-known technology journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, will be similar to a large iPad that unfolds to reach the size of two iPad Pros together.

Apple plans to launch its first foldable device in 2028, a development that, according to well-known technology journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, will be similar to a large iPad that unfolds to reach the size of two iPad Pros together.
This news marks a significant step for the company in a market that has seen the introduction of foldable devices in recent years, although Apple has been more cautious in its approach.
The design of the new device promises a foldable screen of approximately 20 inches.
Apple's First Foldable iPhone
Apple is reportedly developing a book-style foldable iPhone with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display, expected to launch in the second half of 2026.

Are foldable iPhones on the horizon? Apple aims for 2026 for its next innovation
Mark Gurman describes it as a “unique and uninterrupted piece of glass”, suggesting a breakthrough in foldable screen technology, which has faced significant challenges, such as the emergence of wrinkles on the surface.
Apple is actively working to minimize this, and the current prototypes feature an almost invisible fold line, although it has not yet been completely eliminated.
Regarding user experience, Apple is focusing on offering larger screens that are easily portable, rather than improving existing tablets to fit in pockets. This suggests that the company is looking to attract users who value portability without sacrificing the quality of the viewing experience.
Apple's first foldable iPad/MacBook has been delayed until 2027 or 2028
The device will now feature an 18.8" display instead of the previously rumored 20.3" display
Regarding the operating system, the new device is expected to run a version of iPadOS, which could be advanced enough to run macOS applications by the time of its launch in 2028.
However, compatibility between the two operating systems could be a topic to follow, as Gurman suggests that it will not be a pure hybrid of iPad and Mac, but will incorporate elements from both.
In addition, Apple is considering the possibility of foldable iPhones, although these are not expected before 2026. This reinforces the company’s trend towards innovation in mobile device design that meets the needs of modern users.
Since its release, Dark Souls 2 has generated intense debates among fans of the series. Although many consider it the “worst” game of the trilogy, some critics and players have begun to defend its merits, highlighting the innovative ideas it contains. Recently, YouTuber Zullie the Witch revealed an intriguing detail: a crab boss, which would carry a tower as a shell, was planned for the area of Lost Bastille, but ultimately was not implemented in the final game.

Since its release, Dark Souls 2 has generated intense debates among fans of the series. Although many consider it the “worst” game in the trilogy, some critics and players have begun to defend its merits, highlighting the innovative ideas it contains. Recently, lYouTuber Zullie the Witch revealed an intriguing detail: a crab boss, which would carry a tower as a shell, was planned for the Lost Bastille area, but ultimately was not implemented in the final game.
This crab boss was not an ordinary creature, but a design that changed the dynamics of battles in the Dark Souls universe. According to Zullie, players would have been able to face this peculiar enemy in a large arena, or even enter the tower to attack the crab from behind. This idea, although never realized, is indicative of the fact that Dark Souls 2 housed numerous interesting concepts that were removed, such as its dynamic lighting system, which was surprisingly shown before its release and later reinstated by modders.
An underrated game to reclaim
Moreover, Dark Souls 2 is known for its unique atmosphere and sense of emptiness, evoking a feeling reminiscent of the dungeon crawlers from the PS2 era. In recent years, critics like James Davenport and Lincoln Carpenter have highlighted the depth and injustices faced by the defenders of this title, suggesting that its time of “redemption” has come, although some still resist accepting its value.
Despite the criticism, Dark Souls 2 should not be underestimated. Its legacy is a testament to the ambition and creativity of FromSoftware. Speculations about what this game could have been continue to fuel interest and debate, making Dark Souls 2 a fascinating and complex chapter within the Souls universe.
The remastering of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has caused a stir among video game fans, thanks to its significant graphical and gameplay updates compared to the classic from 2006.

The remastering of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has caused a stir among video game fans, thanks to its significant graphical and gameplay updates compared to the classic from 2006. This renewed title not only focuses on improving the game’s aesthetics and gameplay mechanics, but it also benefits from the voices of several actors from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, adding a layer of familiarity and nostalgia to the experience.
Distinctive voices, although lacking the charm of the original for many
However, the change in the voice cast presents both opportunities and challenges. The original game featured a surprisingly small number of voice actors, which was seen as a clear area for improvement in this new installment. While the voice update has the potential to refresh the experience, there is a risk of losing the distinctive charm that characterized the original game. The familiar faces of iconic voices like those of Wes Johnson and Linda Carter serve as a bridge between the two installments, creating a continuity that many players will appreciate.
The renowned Stephen Russell, known for his roles in Fallout and Skyrim, is not present in this remaster, which marks a notable absence for some fans. Russell has been a significant figure in the world of video games, and his absence is particularly felt in a title that strives to maintain a connection to its roots.
Despite this absence, the selection of other actors, such as Jan Johns, Tommie Earl Jenkins, and Debra Wilson, who have also worked on previous Bethesda titles, ensures that the game maintains a coherent sense of familiarity. The participation of voices that fans have come to consider as old friends contributes to a characteristic soundscape of the studio’s games. With approximately half of the dialogue re-recorded, Oblivion Remastered promises not only a renewed adventure but also a deep emotional connection for those who have traversed Tamriel in previous installments.

The BBC is developing a new documentary series in the style of Black Mirror that will explore the impact of artificial intelligence on contemporary society. Jack Bootle, head of science and natural history at the BBC, provided details about this ambitious project during an event in London, where he also shared his vision on the ethical use of artificial intelligence in television production.
A series that seeks to portray the conflicts posed by AI
Bootle emphasized that, although artificial intelligence can offer innovative tools for content creation, it is essential to establish clear limits on its use. This suggests that the BBC seeks a responsible approach in which technology does not replace human creativity, but rather complements it. His stance also reflects a growing interest in addressing critical technological issues in current audiovisual storytelling.
The fact that the BBC is producing a documentary that resembles Black Mirror is significant, considering the success and popularity of the anthology series that has addressed ethical and philosophical issues related to technology. Bootle mentioned that the series will not only explore advancements in artificial intelligence but also the social and ethical implications that these entail, aligning with the characteristic approach of Black Mirror.
The production is still in its early stages, and more details about the format and episodes are expected to be revealed in the coming months. Meanwhile, Bootle made it clear that the BBC is committed to handling this delicate issue with the seriousness it deserves, trying to generate a dialogue about how artificial intelligence can transform our daily lives without losing sight of the ethical and social considerations it raises. In an increasingly technology-influenced world, this series promises to be a relevant and necessary documentary.

This new feature, presented on Monday, marks an important step in OpenAI’s aspiration to compete in a market that Google has dominated for decades.
The California-based company highlighted that the search has seen remarkable growth, with over 1 billion searches in the last week, underscoring the growing interest in this new feature.
Shopping
We’re experimenting with making shopping simpler and faster to find, compare, and buy products in ChatGPT.
✅ Improved product results ✅ Visual product details, pricing, and reviews ✅ Direct links to buy
Is OpenAI setting its sights on Google Chrome amid growing competition?
Users can now start conversations to find and compare items, eliminating the need to scan through pages of results. Additionally, ChatGPT allows for follow-up questions and offers personalized recommendations in specific categories such as fashion, beauty, and home electronics.
According to OpenAI, these recommendations come from the web rather than ads, which could represent a significant shift in how consumers interact with online shopping platforms.
In response to this movement, Google has implemented its Gemini assistant in search results, prioritizing AI-generated answers over links to traditional websites, indicating a growing competition between the two companies.
The rivalry reached a new level last week when an executive from OpenAI mentioned that the company would consider acquiring Chrome if Google is forced to sell its browser as a result of an antitrust case in the United States.
This development highlights not only the regulatory pressure that Google is under but also OpenAI’s ambition to expand its influence in the digital ecosystem.

Steve Chen, a 25-year-old young man, found love in a surprising way: through a live video call.
This innovative approach has begun to gain popularity in China, where 240 million single people are seeking romantic connections, which has led the government to promote marriage and raising multiple children in light of an alarming declining birth rate.
The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, called in 2023 to promote a new culture of marriage and parenting to address the aging population.
Over 30 per cent of young people who are single said it's because of their busy work schedules.https://t.co/v3IwHjVnO1
Millennials Turn to Video Calls to Start Romantic Relationships
In this context, video dating has emerged as a more interactive solution compared to traditional methods, such as marriage markets, which are often perceived as rigid.
Chen, who had struggled with his shyness, discovered these quotes in livestreams, where “cyber matchmakers” facilitate connections between singles while thousands of viewers comment in real time.
During one of these sessions, organized by Tian Xin, a popular matchmaker, Chen experienced her first love. The interaction allows users to showcase more of their personalities instead of just profile pictures, as is the case in conventional dating apps.
According to a report by iiMedia Research, more than 30% of single young people in China cite their scheduled work routines, with workdays of up to 12 hours, as the main reason for not going on dates.
This phenomenon has given rise to a new trend of “lying flat,” where many prefer to resist social pressures by choosing to remain single.
Both Chen and his partner, Christine Zhang, who also participated in the livestream, believe that the platform is a valuable way to find love. “Finding a partner is difficult,” Zhang noted. “Only those who are brave manage to find love.”

Although being a Motion Grapher and animator is a creative and fun job, it can also be exhausting. Achieving good results often means long hours of waiting for rendering, extensive processes, and detailed optimizations. Fortunately, for years motion graphers have had a great ally: Adobe After Effects.
This animation and Motion Graphics software has become an essential tool thanks to its constant evolution and improvements in technology. Now, with the arrival of Artificial Intelligence, After Effects is experiencing a true revolution. Since Adobe began incorporating AI into its programs, animators have been able to create more spectacular motion graphics in less time. And with the release of After Effects 2025, this transformation has reached a completely new level.
A huge leap in quality in After Effects
One of the most impressive advancements in After Effects 2025 is the incorporation of automatic keyframing. Thanks to AI, the software can now analyze the movement of objects and generate keyframes on its own, adjusting the animation to look smoother and more natural. This allows creators to save long hours of manual work, leaving behind the more tedious processes to focus on what really matters.
In addition, this tool not only automates the process but also allows for customization. Although the keyframes are generated automatically, animators can easily modify the smoothness of the movement and choose between more realistic animations or different styles with a single click. This makes animation faster, more flexible, and accessible for all types of creators.
Another great new feature of After Effects 2025 is smart object tracking. Thanks to advanced deep learning algorithms, the latest version of the program allows you to automatically identify and track complex objects with unprecedented accuracy. This even applies to environments with variable lighting (that quickly shifts from dark to very bright) or with sudden camera movements. Thus, it can even be applied in graphics for live recordings.
One of the most impressive improvements is that multiple objects can now be tracked simultaneously without affecting the program’s performance. This is especially useful in sports videos, music video clips, or advertisements, where the pace is fast and eye-catching effects are needed without consuming too many resources.
Discover everything you can do with After Effects 2025
The other great function of AI applied to Adobe After Effects is the creation of generative effects. While this was something that could already be used in previous versions of the software, the new update has greatly expanded its catalog. Now, you can apply instant transitions, advanced textures, and all kinds of effects with just a few clicks, achieving unique animations without the need for advanced knowledge.
The current library of generative effects from Adobe is huge, but the best part is that they are fully customizable. Designers can customize each effect with detailed parameters. Additionally, AI can analyze the video content and automatically suggest effects that integrate naturally with the scene. This way, you can achieve great creations in seconds.
But what motion graphic designers will appreciate the most about the latest software update is the significant improvement they have added to performance. Adobe has completely rethought the architecture of After Effects, which has allowed for much faster processing of previews and renders.
Now, the program makes better use of the latest generation graphics cards, allowing for real-time animations without delays. Additionally, memory management has been improved, making it possible to work with more complex compositions without affecting the performance of the equipment.
In short, Adobe After Effects has done it again. Thanks to advanced AI, it has made a significant leap in quality, making it easier and faster than ever to create amazing animations. If you are passionate about Motion Graphics or want to start in this world, After Effects 2025 offers you the best tools to focus on what matters most: being creative and taking your projects to the next level.
“It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV…” If you couldn’t help but hum this melody, it’s clear that back in the day you were one of the big fans of Family Guy around the world. But you just have to take a look at the lyrics of the theme song to realize that… it’s a series VERY much from the last decade. Or even from two decades ago. Seriously, does anyone care today about sex on TV or violence in movies? Well, […]
“It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV…”. If you couldn’t help but hum this melody, it’s clear that back in the day you were one of the big fans of Family Guy around the world. But you only have to take a look at the lyrics of the theme song to realize that… it is a series VERY much from the last decade. Or even two decades ago. Seriously, does anyone care today about sex on TV or violence in movies?
Well, in case you didn’t know, on April 2nd, Disney Plus premiered season 23 of Family Guy. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: it’s following the path of The Simpsons, determined to never die. But while the latter has tried to adapt to the new times, what has happened to Family Guy? Not to mention it still has the same theme song… and the episodes haven’t evolved much in their narrative. So the question, inevitable after so many years and so many changes in the audiovisual landscape, is clear: is Family Guy still relevant?
When being politically incorrect was fun
To understand the relevance of Family Guy in our times, we must go back to its initial success. Premiering in 1999 on Fox, the series was at the time a breath of fresh air (although for many, rather toxic) within the universe of animated sitcoms.
Seth MacFarlane, its creator, embraced the tradition of family satire popularized by The Simpsons, but infused it with unapologetic cynicism, dark humor, aggressive parodies, and a structure that broke with conventional narrative. In Family Guy, the characters were not afraid to jump from one scene to another based on gags that were often absurd (yes, we are thinking of the legendary giant chicken scene) or pop references that spanned decades of American culture.
With nothing similar and no one daring to go that far… except for South Park, Family Guy had a massive initial success. However, it was canceled after its third season, you can imagine the reasons. But its success was so great that Fox revived it in 2005, thanks to the impressive performance of its DVDs and its reruns on Adult Swim.
Family Guy has become a reference point rather than just something to consider. Series like American Dad and The Cleveland Show (both also created by MacFarlane), Rick and Morty, Big Mouth, or Solar Opposites would not exist without it. Its irreverent tone, based on cynical humor, and its disdain for correctness made it have a loyal and devoted audience. However, that same tone has also been its Achilles’ heel: while The Simpsons has managed to maintain a certain warmth and empathy, Family Guy has always embraced misanthropy, making it less endearing and more disposable.
After watching some episodes of this season 23, the feeling left by the series is that it has become trapped in its own formula. The gags are still there, the cultural references continue at a good pace, but there is an evident lack of thematic or focus renewal. The narrative has not changed… and even less so the characters. Everything is designed for longtime fans to feel comfortable… but it is completely out of place in 2025.
The problem is not that Family Guy doesn’t know how to make you laugh, but that it no longer feels like a relevant series. In a world where there are gems like BoJack Horseman, which speak directly about fame or mental health, the repetitive humor of Family Guy feels completely anachronistic. Not because it has lost its essence, but because the world has changed and the series has not wanted to change with it.
