    Twitch is taking a more nuanced approach to suspensions.

    Balatro’s developer is “still working” on the game’s big 1.1 update.

    At the end of a long and personal blog post to mark the occasion of Balatro’s second birthday, LocalThunk confirmed that the 1.1 update, which was delayed from a planned 2025 release, is still in the works.

    Amazon is shutting down its King of Meat game and offering full refunds.

    The multiplayer title, which will shut down on April 9th, reportedly struggled to find players, and developer Glowmade recently laid off staff.

    It’s yet another change for Amazon’s gaming efforts, which include ditching MMOs and offloading a MOBA to Ubisoft.

    The Large Hadron Collider is going into a third shutdown period to get an upgrade.

    The LHC will enter a four-year “intensive work period” to “transform the LHC into the [High-Luminosity] LHC,” according to The European Organization for Nuclear Research (aka CERN).

    The upgraded accelerator will “increase by a factor of ten the number of particle collisions (called ‘luminosity’), vastly increasing the volume of physics data available for researchers.”
