Without a doubt, rifts in the popular battle royale game Fortnite have been a chaotic feature, as last season items were “teleported” from the real world and back, and now the largest rift is shrinking in size. Although this feature is intended to be somewhat chaotic, the latest bug to occur with the rifts was not likely part of the plan. This bug discovered by Epic also follows a recent bug with the game that has caused it to crash more often, though it is currently unknown if the two are related....

There’s a chapter in the Kama Sutra that goes into exhaustive detail about sexual positions, which includes interesting and vivid diagrams, and that’s the part that most people sort of get stuck on....

In fact, couples in the game played an integral part engaging players in the world....

I’ve been singing the praises of Whirlwind FX and its unique version of game-integrated lighting effects for some time. Unlike other lighting engines like Corsair’s iCUE or Razer Chroma that offer a small collection of integrations that are baked into the game files, Whirlwind FX’s SignalRGB software utilizes screen reading technology that generates game-specific integrations. This means that developers don’t need access to game files to create unique integrations, and in fact, users have the ability to create their own....
