Shirley Curry, known by many as Skyrim Grandma, has announced her decision to permanently retire from uploading content about the popular Bethesda RPG after 15 years of dedication. In her latest video titled “My ‘Goodbye’ to Skyrim,” Curry, who is approaching 90 years old, expressed her dissatisfaction with the creative process, stating that she no longer finds pleasure in playing or creating content about this game, which has been a central part of her life on YouTube.
A community that does not offer what interests it
Despite having over 1.3 million subscribers, most of his viewers are children, which has made it difficult for Curry to achieve the meaningful connection he desires. “I am not receiving any meaningful feedback from them,” he lamented, referring to the type of interaction he seeks with his community. While some followers have left affectionate messages, Curry feels that these do not reflect the purpose behind his videos.
The content creator explained that, although she will eventually continue uploading vlogs from time to time to communicate with her older followers, she does not want her channel to become a space for children. “I prefer meaningful conversations,” she emphasized. In her video, Curry mentioned that she had already considered retiring before, but this time it seems that her decision will be final.
On her journey as a creator, Curry recently took a break to play Oblivion Remastered, a title that allowed her to step away from Skyrim for a while. However, upon returning to Skyrim, she found that her interest had faded. “Every time I came up with a new idea to play, I quickly got bored,” she commented, making it clear that she has reached her limit with the game. With her announcement, Skyrim Grandma closes a significant chapter of her life and leaves an indelible mark on the gaming community.
If you are creative and work with Adobe, you already know: Illustrator and Photoshop do not compete, they complement each other. Today we propose a practical journey for you to start working with both and combine the best of both worlds. But before we begin… If you want to combine both programs to get the most out of them, there are some aspects you should keep in mind, such as compatibility.

If you are creative and work with Adobe, you already know: Illustrator and Photoshop do not compete, they complement each other. Today we propose a practical journey for you to start working with both and combine the best of both worlds.
If you want to combine both programs to get the most out of them, there are some aspects you should keep in mind, such as compatibility. From Photoshop, go to Preferences > File Handling and look for the section Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility. Choose the Ask option so that Photoshop allows you to decide whether or not to enhance the compatibility of the files when they are saved. This way, you can decide based on the situation.
Also use the same color settings in both Photoshop and Illustratorto avoid surprises with the appearance of your projects.
How to open Photoshop files in Illustrator
Opening a PSD file in Illustrator is a much simpler process than you think. With this method we will teach you now, you will be able to convert the layers of Photoshop into Illustrator objects.
Open Adobe Illustrator and go to File > Open.
Search your computer for the .PSD file and click Open.
Next, you will see the Photoshop Import Options dialog box. Once here, you can choose from these options:
Convert Layers to Objects: Recommended if you want to edit your PSD. It preserves masks, blending modes, and transparency; when possible, it allows you to edit the texts. Keep in mind that it DOES NOT support adjustment layers or layer styles: those parts will be merged/rasterized to maintain the appearance.
Flatten Layers to a Single Image: This will be useful if you only need the image to be flat. Everything will be in a rasterized layer and disables layer editing.
Further down, you will find the options for Import Hidden Layers and Import Slices. These will only be active if your PSD has hidden layers or slices. You can select them if you deem it necessary.
Accept to start working. The Photoshop layers will appear as sub-layers in the Layers panel of Illustrator.
This is how you can place a Photoshop image in your Illustrator project
If you work with Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time, inserting your Photoshop images directly into your Illustrator project can save you a lot of time. For example, you can choose to place the PSD file as linked or embedded:
Place a PSD as linked
When you place a PSD as linked, any changes you make in Photoshop will automatically update in Illustrator. It’s a very convenient way to work, as everything you do in Photoshop will be instantly reflected without having to re-import that file again. To insert a PSD as linked within your Illustrator project, follow these steps:
Open your Illustrator file within Illustrator and click on File > Place.
Select the PSD you want to link, check the Link box, and press the Place button.
Place it on the canvas. You will see the link icon from the Links panel. If you don’t see it, go to Window > Links. From now on, updating the PSD in Photoshop will update the link in Illustrator.
This is how an embedded PSD works
The main advantage of embedding a PSD within an Illustrator project is that it does not depend on the original file or its location. This way, you also avoid annoying messages like Missing Link and ensure that the PSD in question does not change when moving the Illustrator file around. Here’s how you can embed a PSD:
Go to File > Place and choose the PSD to place. Here, make sure to uncheck the Link option and check Show Import Options. Then, click on Place.
Within the Photoshop Import Options box, choose how you want your PSD to be imported.
Move a path created in Photoshop to Illustrator
The most experienced with Photoshop know well that the use of vectors is not something exclusive to Illustrator. And if you have ever wondered if it is possible to transfer a vector drawing made in Photoshop to Illustrator, the answer is yes, it is possible:
Within Photoshop, select the layer that contains the path. Then go to File > Export > Path to Illustrator.
You can also copy the path itself from the Paths panel. If you don’t see it, click on Window > Paths.
Now, the path will be saved as a new file with the .ai extension.
You have already seen how both programs can help you work on the same canvas without suffering along the way. Use the best of Photoshop and Illustrator to apply it to your designs and give them a more professional touch.

It doesn’t catch us by surprise. We knew the date and were expecting it. The Steam autumn sales have arrived and they are as juicy as one could expect. With prices for every budget and games for all tastes, there is something for everyone, no matter your budget and preferences. It is also true that with thousands of games on sale, it can be difficult to choose. That’s why let us guide you on this journey by making a selection of games you shouldn’t miss for anything in the world.
The most popular card roguelike that isn’t called Slay The Spire has made quite a splash since its release in 2020. With a fabulous sequel that came out on May 21 and improves upon the excellent foundations of the original, if you haven’t played Monster Train yet, this is the perfect excuse. For the price of a decent medium coffee, you have hundreds of hours ahead of you to discover why people have become obsessed with a roguelike that, even after the release of its sequel, continues to be played frantically.
Mafia III has the stigma of being considered a bad game when the reality is different: it is a good game burdened by its name. It is not GTA and certainly does not aim to be, but it is a good Mafia. Even if it changes significantly from the previous two installments. Its narrative is interesting, its mechanics are up to par, and for three euros, you won’t find a better excuse to see that perhaps we were too harsh on a more than decent game.
If you are of a certain age, you surely remember games like Theme Hospital or Theme Park. Business management games, building the buildings, hiring staff, and making sure everything runs as it should. Two Point Campus is its spiritual successor, putting us in the position of having to manage something that only in the US would be understood as a business: a university campus. Make sure classes are running, that the labs have everything they need, and that no dinosaur escapes down the hallways. Dinosaurs? Don’t ask, it’s 3 euros: try it for yourself.
Although Alan Wake 2 has shown the world that Remedy are the best in their field, some of us already knew that long before. For example, when they released Control. To be fair, we already knew it before that, but in Control it was already indisputable: a game that perfectly blends weird fiction with a third-person shooter in a game as suggestive as it is artistically impeccable that leaves you wanting more. And you can, because a sequel has been announced. Although for what you are going to pay for the original, you also have no reason not to know if you want more Control or not.
The massive phenomenon of the year has been a climbing game. Who would have thought? But that’s PEAK: a game that draws from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to take the best of it, the stamina management, to build an entire game around it. If we add to that playing with friends and proximity chat, we have this game that has taken the gaming world by storm for good reasons. And now you can discover it for a couple of euros less. Which isn’t much, but it’s already a cheap game normally.
Now that Silksong has been released, you might be craving more metroidvania. Or things inspired by metroidvania. And the closest thing on crazy sale is Dead Cells. A frantic roguelike, heavily inspired by the genre, where dying, exploring, and fighting is the foundation of everything. Because we are going to do it many times. A frantic and crazy game that, even with all its DLC, doesn’t double its price, which is the GOTY every year if you like this kind of games and, after Silksong, want more exploration with strong doses of crazy action.
The football games of the past have not delivered this year, but that has opened the door for a new game that has decided to make its way into this highly competitive field. REMATCH is the new game from the creators of Sifu who have decided to create a very arcade-style, very fluid, and fast-paced 3v3 football game. Extremely fun, especially with two friends, we only ask one thing: it’s cheap, but please, if you get the ball, don’t be a ball hog.
The latest Call of Duty so far is always a safe bet and, moreover, it is its most notable offering to date. If you haven’t played it yet and have been waiting for a good deal, this is the time. The campaign is enjoyable and, as always, its real substance is in the online mode. So if you want dozens of hours of shooting ahead, you’ll have to pay up, but you will undoubtedly get your money’s worth like every year.
Recently, a Reddit user proposed an idea that has sparked great interest among World of Warcraft enthusiasts: allowing the transmog obtained from a raid difficulty to also unlock those from lower levels. This suggestion has resonated within the community, as many players seek to maximize the aesthetics of their characters without the need to repeatedly complete the same challenges at different difficulties. Sometimes the best ideas come from outside. In World of Warcraft, cosmetic transmog is a highly valued reward that allows players to customize the appearance of their armor while keeping its original stats. […]

Sometimes the best ideas come from outside
In World of Warcraft, cosmetic transmogifications are highly valued rewards that allow players to customize the appearance of their armor while keeping their original stats. This mechanic has led many in the community to argue that “fashion is the true endgame“, reflecting players’ interest in enhancing the aesthetics of their characters, often with as much emphasis as on the development of attributes and skills.
Currently, cosmetic rewards are distributed across various difficulties, forcing players to face multiple levels to achieve 100% of these rewards. This system has been a source of frustration for many, especially those who have already demonstrated their skill at higher levels, as illustrated by an example where a player has 6/9 cosmetics unlocked on heroic difficulty, but only 1/9 on normal difficulty.
The release of Terminator 2D: No Fate has been postponed from October 31 to November 26, due to changes in tariff rates that have affected the shipping of the necessary components for the physical editions of the game. This decision was communicated by Reef Entertainment, the developer of the title, which emphasized its commitment to releasing all editions simultaneously, both physical and digital. “We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding, and we regret this new delay,” the company stated.

Donald Trump, worse than the T-1000
This delay is part of a broader context, where changes in global trade tariffs have caused delays and price increases in various products, including many video games. Recently, there have been price increases for consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation 5, which has raised concerns among consumers about the economic impact these decisions may have on the entertainment industry.
Terminator 2D: No Fate focuses on the struggle of Sarah Connor and John Connor against Skynet, leading them to star in a futuristic war where the survival of humanity is at stake. Players will have the opportunity to control both characters in different levels and face the machines that threaten to eradicate humanity.
The game will be available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. In addition, two physical editions will be offered: a standard edition, which will be priced at €60, and a collector’s edition at €120€. The latter includes several special items, such as a collectible arcade coin, a full-color manual, and a collector’s case.
The gaming community eagerly awaits the new release, although uncertainty remains regarding the pricing situation and its effect on future products in the sector.

Producer Masato Kumazawa has emphasized the importance of removing barriers to entry, allowing new fans to immerse themselves in this rich narrative without feeling overwhelmed by the story accumulated over three decades.
A Resident Evil designed for everyone
In an interview, Kumazawa explained that Resident Evil Requiem will offer nods and connections to the Resident Evil story that will please fans, while ensuring that new players do not feel alienated. “We don’t want people to feel like they have to do their homework to fully understand this game,” the producer commented. Therefore, even those who are not familiar with the saga will be able to enjoy the experience as a horror game set in a ruined city.
The game will focus on Grace Ashcroft, who will be the main protagonist. However, fans are wondering if iconic characters like Leon Kennedy will also make an appearance. Although Capcom has confirmed that Grace is the new main character, it has not completely ruled out the possibility of Leon returning, either as a playable character or in some other capacity.
Resident Evil Requiem will be released on February 27, and its director has expressed his interest in competition in the horror genre, acknowledging that this rivalry stimulates innovation. “I really want to buy Silent Hill f,” he admitted, highlighting the importance of keeping everyone on their toes in such a dynamic market.
In episode 6 of season 2 of Peacemaker, fans were surprised by a cameo from actor Nicholas Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor. In this appearance, Luthor meets Rick Flag Sr. at Belle Reve, where they both make a deal: Luthor will provide equipment to Flag in exchange for being transferred to a prison without metahumans.

In episode 6 of season 2 of Peacemaker, fans were surprised by a cameo from actor Nicholas Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor. In this appearance, Luthor meets with Rick Flag Sr. at Belle Reve, where they both make a deal: Luthor will provide equipment to Flag in exchange for being transferred to a prison without metahumans. This moment has sparked a great debate among fans, who are starting to wonder if DC series are falling into the trap of becoming “homework,” similar to the productions of the Marvel cinematic universe.
Lex Luthor has things to comment on
The comparisons between the DC and Marvel universes are at the center of this discussion. Some fans have expressed concern about how DC interconnects its narratives. A user on Twitter commented: “¡Peacemaker is officially homework!“, suggesting that the content of the series feels necessary to fully understand the broader plots of the DCU. However, other DC defenders argue that the way the story is presented is different, pointing out that the connection of events in Peacemaker is not as demanding as what Marvel has done with its series and movies.
James Gunn, director and key figure behind the DCU, has hinted that there will be more cameos in season 2 of Peacemaker before its conclusion, which could continue to fuel the debate about the need to consume additional content to understand the narrative. Meanwhile, Peacemaker is being released weekly on HBO Max in the U.S. and NOW in the UK, making it easy for audiences to access the episodes and keeping them engaged throughout the season.

Tilly Norwood, an actress completely generated by artificial intelligence, made her debut at the Zurich Film Festival, presenting as part of Xicoia, the world’s first artificial intelligence talent studio. The creation of Tilly has sparked a strong debate in the film industry, especially among human actors, who have expressed their frustration through various social platforms.
An actress named Tilly Norwood
The founder of Particle 6 Productions, Eline Van der Velden, has defended the inclusion of Tilly in the entertainment world, arguing that it does not represent a threat or a replacement for human actors, but is “a piece of art” that seeks to generate conversation about the use of artificial intelligence in creativity. In her statement, Van der Velden noted that she sees AI as a new tool and not a substitute for human talent.
However, reactions on social media have been strong. Actors like Mara Wilson have questioned the ethics behind the creation of Tilly, suggesting that perhaps the search should have been among the real people whose images were used in the character generation process. Others, like Kiersey Clemmons and Melissa Barrera, have demanded transparency regarding the names of the agencies involved in this project, accusing the industry of acting irresponsibly.
Despite the mixed responses, interest in Tilly has grown, with rumors indicating that Hollywood talent agencies are considering her potential. However, the film community remains skeptical about the future of AI-generated actors in film productions, as the technology still shows obvious flaws, such as in a video where one of Tilly’s fingers anomalously elongates, highlighting that there is still a long way to go for the perfection of such creations.

This second feature film in the saga will be released on July 23, 2027, following the popularity of the first movie that premiered in July 2007. The first installment was a resounding success, grossing 74 million dollars in its opening weekend at the box office.
Will Spider-Pig make a comeback?
This new Simpsons film will take a date that has become available following the announcement of a Marvel movie, which opens an interesting window for the return of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie to the big screen. This move could suggest that Disney, which now owns the rights to The Simpsons, is looking to strengthen its family entertainment offerings at a time when the film market is becoming increasingly competitive.
The first movie not only stood out for its box office success, but it also managed to capture the attention of critics and fans alike, further solidifying the legacy of The Simpsons as a cultural phenomenon. As the release date approaches, details about the plot and cast remain shrouded in mystery. However, the fact that there is a new movie on the way undoubtedly generates expectations among the show’s followers and animation film lovers.
As more details about the production emerge, fans are expected to stay updated on the news and rumors that may arise, anticipating that this release will be a tribute to both the longtime followers of the series and the new generations who have discovered the universe of Springfield. Undoubtedly, the return of The Simpsons to theaters promises to be one of the most anticipated cinematic events of 2027. And it’s no wonder!
The remastering of the classic games in the Tales saga by Bandai Namco faces a significant challenge due to the lack of source code and master data from the original titles. This inconvenience is not exclusive to the Tales series; in fact, Square Enix experienced a similar problem when reconstructing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. The project director, Kazutoyo Maehiro, confirmed that the absence of such data complicated the remastering.

The remastering of the classic games in the Tales saga by Bandai Namco faces a significant challenge due to the lack of source code and master data from the original titles. This inconvenience is not exclusive to the Tales series; in fact, Square Enix experienced a similar problem when reconstructing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. The project director, Kazutoyo Maehiro, confirmed that the absence of such data complicated the remastering. The situation is similar for Bandai Namco, which now has to investigate the location of the source code and who manages it, according to the series producer, Yusuke Tomizawa, at the Tokyo Game Show.
Playing by eye is quite complicated
The lack of detailed documentation and the work of multiple studies in the development of the series have made the search and analysis of the original data a prolonged process. Tomizawa admitted that finding the relevant information can take months and, once found, often presents gaps that must be filled before being able to proceed with the remastering.
Despite these challenges, Bandai Namco announced the Tales Remaster Project as part of the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the series, starting with the release of Tales of Graces f Remastered in January. The next title on the list is Tales of Xillia Remastered, scheduled for October 31. Bandai’s strategy does not follow a strict chronological order, but rather focuses on efficiency, opting to remaster first those titles that are easier to adapt.
Tomizawa also said: “I know some fans might be thinking ‘What is the release order?’; however, this non-linear production responds to the speed and quantity of releases.” Meanwhile, JRPG fans eagerly await the arrival of these remastered versions, which celebrate one of the most beloved franchises in the genre.
