Apple's 2026 MacBook Pro models will feature […]
All of Apple’s non-high-end devices are limited to 60Hz display, with only the premium, or ‘Pro’ version getting treated to 120Hz panels, which the company refers to as ProMotion. There may be a sudden shift in the technology giant’s plans for next year because not only are the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus reportedly getting treated to the same LTPO OLED technology as the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, but a 90Hz panel is also said to make its way to the M3 iPad Air. The 90Hz display could be used in an updated 24-inch iMac, along […]

Much of the Slitterhead gameplay revolves around Rarities, gifted humans who can achieve higher attunement with the mysterious Night Owl and maintain their consciousness while being possessed, which allows them to use some unique fighting styles and skills that can make your life easier against all sorts of opponents. Unlock new Rarities is also a necessity to proceed in the main campaign, as you will need the help of specific characters to continue Night Owl's war against Slitterheads.

Of course, that was a very different time for Embracer. A time when it seemed pretty much anything could get greenlit at the company and they proudly boasted of the hundreds of […]
