While the issue seems fixed today, Reddit users reported that and other problems, like videos that couldn’t be unmuted, in a thread spotted by 9to5Google. The solution was apparently disabling ad blockers. We saw the same behavior at The Verge.
It’s not clear if this was related to YouTube’s ongoing crackdown on ad blockers, or problems with the ad blockers themselves.
I haven’t played the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake quite yet, but it’s in the queue with the other great Mario RPG games for the Switch.
And now, so is this paper airplane that Nintendo hired John Collins, a former world record paper plane maker, to make a tutorial video for. Oh, and there’s an official printable template (PDF).
That’s according to Insider Gaming, which says the game will show up at Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th. The site says the game has been four years in the making, and will be set in a “medieval inspired doom world.”
Until then, might as well relive 2016’s Doom and its sequel, Doom Eternal.
It’s been five years since “threadnought,” a giant Twitter thread in which lawyers battled trolls who were trying to silence critics of an anime voice actor accused of sexual misconduct.
Now, with a law firm drafted from the thread’s funniest people, lawyer Akiva Cohen represents many former Twitter employees who are suing Elon Musk over how he fired them after buying the company.
Both Garfield and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story tied for number one at the box office this weekend, having apparently garnered about $25 million each at US theaters.
That’s not a great take, particularly for Furiosa, but it’s also a bad showing for movies, generally, as Variety notes that it’s “the worst Memorial Day opening weekend in nearly three decades.”
Thanks to Engadget, I know two things: first, there’s a very faithful, crank-controlled Flappy Bird clone for the Playdate. And second (indirectly, because it piqued my curiosity and I looked it up), that anyone can download and emulate the Playdate with Panic’s developer kit.
Which I did, because Flappy Bird is one of the great smartphone games. I also used it to get the below GIF.
Meta’s platform is prepping a new settings menu item called “Early access to features” according to a screenshot posted by mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzio.
I’ve always wanted a Volkswagen camper van, and Thomas Ricker’s Verge review of the custom eVentje ID Buzz only reinforces that.
Check out his video below for a condensed version of his impressions (and a glimpse of what I can only assume is a very good dog).
