    Seriously, just buy the Brother laser printer everyone has.

    This one. Otherwise, you might have to deal with this cat-and-mouse game from hell.

    You can now play all of Half-Life: Alyx without a VR headset.

    And it’s all thanks to the new “NoVR” mod.

    Friend of The Verge Cameron Faulkner wrote about the experience, and after reading his article, I really want to try it out, especially since I still haven’t actually played the game. The mod apparently even works on Steam Deck!

    Is HBO Max about to turn into ‘Max’?

    Warner Bros. Discovery is about to tell us the answer, but all signs point to yes. The company is hosting a 1PM ET event to “discuss the upcoming enhanced direct-to-consumer streaming product,” and you can watch the live webcast here.

    The final pre-launch Tears of the Kingdom trailer airs tomorrow.

    Tune in at 10AM ET / 7AM PT on Nintendo’s YouTube channel to catch the “roughly” three-minute video for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Ahead of the premiere, if you want to watch all of the trailers released so far (there’s only 22 minutes and 15 seconds of footage to watch), I collected links to the first five trailers here and you can watch last month’s 10-minute gameplay video here.

    The game releases in exactly one month on May 12th.
