    A short-notice delay.

    Unbeatable, a slick-looking “rhythm adventure” title, was supposed to be out today, but the game’s QA team hit a progression blocker that’s “serious enough it’s considered unreleasable,” according to an announcement yesterday. It will now be out on December 9th.

    A bunch of GM cars can’t access their in-vehicle app store anymore.

    The change affects some 2017 through 2020 vehicles, GMAuthority reports. Apps that affected owners have downloaded won’t receive support, and if they delete an app or do a factory reset, they’ll lose access to that app.

    Nintendo released a new trailer today showing off more of the game and a very good Akira slide. As a huge fan of the first Metroid Prime, I can’t wait to check this game out.

    One simply does walk into Mordor?

    The YouTube channel Emulated Vintage Gaming posted a nearly 10-hour video of Frodo walking from the Shire to Mordor in The Lord of the Rings Online. Parts of Andy Serkis’ reading of the audiobooks are interspersed throughout. This is amazing.

    Bluesky wants to make replies better.

    It’s testing a few new features, like changing how the reply button works to open into a thread instead of directly into the composer, that are “all aimed at improving the quality of conversation and giving people more control over their experience.”
