Fans had the opportunity to submit questions, although the developers were not willing to accept questions about everything such as microtransactions and a post-launch early access roadmap.What the developers did answer is whether the game is compatible with Steam Deck. In response to whether the game is compatible with Valves handheld platform, the official response on Discord was, Yes, but it has not been officially optimized with Valve.In addition, the response claimed, The game runs fine, but you may need to adjust settings.Image credit: InZoi DiscordWhether it actually runs well on Valves handheld platform remains to be seen as early access doesnt launch until March 27th/28th pending on your region.

From the age of six, Jayne Mansfield knew she wanted to be a movie star. The working mans Monroe, as she later came to be known, was 21 when she moved to Los Angeles in 1954 alongside her husband and their three-year-old daughter. She immediately got to work making her superstar aspirations a realitya scheme that gained more traction with each passing day. Half of the time the dishes werent washed and the kitchen was dirty, for each morning I started out in full pursuit of my dream, she said, according to biographer May Mann. Mansfield secured her first studio contract less than a year after her arrival in Tinseltown; within three years, she had won a Golden Globe for her starring role in the musical comedy The Girl Cant Help It.The actors bombshell image was instrumental in her rise to famethough at first, studio producers didnt bite. If I couldnt go through them, I figured Id just have to go around, she told the Saturday Evening Post of the powers that be in 1957. Then, right at that moment, I made the greatest discovery of my life. I discovered publicity. The Dallas-raised starlet bleached her naturally brunette hair, played up a comedic dumb blonde persona (despite her purported genius-level IQ), and was photographed as often as possible. Everything in Mansfields life, including her trademark feminine interior design style, aligned with a carefully constructed identity. Pink was her signature color, and she embraced an extravagantly girlish style when it came to the home: Faux fur, hearts, cherubs, and stuffed animals were incorporated in excess throughout the actors longtime SoCal dwelling she dubbed the Pink Palace, where she resided beginning in 1958.Read on for a look at the larger-than-life star in her equally showstopping abodes.Photo: Earl Leaf/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images1/15Puppy loveThe Pennsylvania native poses in bed at her Beverly Hills home with one of her numerous Chihuahuas in this April 1955 photo.

That same year, the rising star separated from her then husband, Paul Mansfield, who was reportedly fed up with her pursuit of fame.Photo: CBS via Getty Images2/15Mansfields MadnessThe Playboy model poses with her first home in 1956, the same year she was signed to 20th Century Fox. The small wood-sided dwelling on Wanda Park Drive in Beverly Hills was dubbed Mansfields Madness. According to biographer Eve Golden, the house cost $18,000.Photo: CBS via Getty Images3/15In the doghouseMansfield poses with her dogs outside of her home in 1956. That year, she met and promptly fell in love with Mickey Hargitay, a Hungarian bodybuilder and Mr. Universe 1955, who had worked as a carpenter and plumber in a former life. Over the course of their relationship, Hargitay hand-built Mansfields dream home. Mickey has fixed my present home up so much that it looks like a different place, she told a gossip columnist that year, according to Golden. He put in plants, flowers and shrubbery, he built me a brick patio and doghouse for my five dogs. We are painting it pink like the main house.Photo: CBS via Getty Images4/15Beverly Hills bombshellIn this 1956 snapshot, the Too Hot to Handle star signs a photo of herself in a living area of Mansfields Madness, which was lined with frames displaying her various awards and magazine covers. The two-bedroom home was furnished in Modern Sears, according to Golden. Press frequently had to contend with Mansfields horde of pets, some of which were not housebroken. It became a part-time photo studio and animal shelter, the biographer wrote.Hulton Archive/Getty Images5/15The Pink PalaceIn January 1958, Mansfield and Hargitay wed at the all-glass Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes, California. The newlyweds moved into a $76,000 Mediterranean-style mansion at 10100 Sunset Boulevard in Holmby Hills that they named the Pink Palace. They painted the white stucco exterior in a rosy hue mixed with light-catching quartz grains. Hargitay built the 40-foot-wide, heart-shaped backyard pool pictured in the background here.Photo: Richard C. Miller/Donaldson Collection/Getty Images6/15Jaynes aestheticOther than the swimming pool, Mansfields primary bathroom was one of the Pink Palaces most iconic features. It was lined floor-to-ceiling with pink shag carpet, though its standout design detail was without a doubt the heart-shaped pink marble bathtub lined with gold leaf tiles and adorned with gilded swan-shaped fixtures.Photo: Richard C. Miller/Donaldson Collection/Getty Images7/15Tiger denMansfield poses in the Pink Palaces den, which featured thick white shag carpet, a tiger skin rug, a copper ceiling, and a petrified driftwood fireplace. She hired set decorator Glenn Holse to decorate the dwelling. I cant picture anything more cozy than a fireplace in every [room], Mansfield said during a 1960 tour.Photo: Bettmann/Contributor/Getty Images8/15In the nurseryIn 1958, Mansfield and Hargitay welcomed their first child together, Miklos. The actor shows off his nursery ahead of his arrival in this photo. The sweet space had a frilly bassinet lined with tulle and bows, a fairy-tale forest scene painted along the walls, and a crib full of stuffed animals.Photo: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images9/15A new addition to the familyIn 1960, Mansfield welcomed her second son, Zoltan. The family poses inside the nursery with the newborn in this snapshot. Four years later, they would welcome Mariska, who would later become a television icon for her portrayal of Law & Order: SVUs Olivia Benson. We take our children everywhere we go, Mansfield once said in an interview. I dont believe in having them and then leaving them to someone else to bring up.Photo: CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images10/15Think pinkMansfield shows off her pink-swathed bathroom again in this 1960 photo. In exchange for product endorsements and promotional appearances, the star received an estimated $150,000 worth of free merchandise to furnish the houseincluding the pink shag that lined this bathroom, one of 11 inside the fanciful abode.Photo: Bettmann/Contributor/Getty Images11/15A swimming pool for sweetheartsMansfield poses in front of the homes finished pool in 1961. Gold mosaic along the bottom of the pool spells out the words I love you Jaynie. Two heart-shaped islands support fountains, while a smaller heart-shaped kiddie pool sits at the top of the heart. According to Golden, Hargitay also built a bathhouse nearby, complete with a fireplace inscribed with the message, My love for you flames forever.Photo: Bettmann/Getty Images12/15Down to businessIn this 1961 photo, Mansfield sits in her office, which was lined with cherry-red tufted leather. The actor continued to make appearances at promotional events alongside her film career and charged a reported $10,000 per ribbon-cutting appearance. She has found a way to capitalize on fame which may create an entirely new kind of star, the Associated Press wrote that year. Theres not much to the part, but the pay is spectacular.Photo: Bettmann/Contributor/Getty Images13/15Hall of fameMansfields collection of framed magazine covers featuring her image is displayed in this 1961 picture. I feel that a star owes it to her public to bring the public into her life, she said in 1960. The fans feel that they kind of own you, and if you kept your life a complete secret, it wouldnt be fair to them. But my private lifeand when I say private life, I mean private lifeis always very private.Photo: Vittoriano Rastelli/Getty Images14/15The grand fireplaceIn 1967, Mansfield poses with stuffed animals in the living room of the Pink Palace. Two curved purple sofas were situated in front of a huge hearth, which the starlet once joked was a walk-in fireplace. A white marble fountain with the couples initials in mosaic was also found in the shag-lined space. All my life, Ive dreamed of a place full of cupids and angels and hearts, Mansfield once reportedly said. Its too bad the drops of water from the fountain in the living room arent heart-shaped.Photo: Vittoriano Rastelli/Getty Images15/15Posed at the pianoMansfield poses with her Steinway piano, which was adorned with cherubs. Two Juliet balconies also graced the living room, which featured soaring beamed ceilings. Just a month after this 1967 photo was taken, Mansfield met her untimely death in a car crash at the age of 34. Though her career was short, it left an indelible mark on celebrity culture and American pop culture. Daily Variety editor Joe Schoenfeld wrote that Mansfield won what our culture instructed her to achieve. And dont sell her achievement short.

Born in Barcelona to a filmmaker father and lawyer mother, Nicanor trained as an architectural historian and theorist before pursuing museum studiesa path that led her to past positions at the Guggenheim, V&A, Norman Foster Foundation, and Rice University. I thought I would be an architect, but I was also very interested in cultural diplomacy, she recalls. I was also interested in larger systems of cities and how cities work and how those stories are told. The transition to the world of design and the decorative arts has been a pivot. From the larger scale you can think of the smaller scale, she notes. Im an architectural historian. But I am also a generalist. I thrive in the immensity of what we have.Nicanor on a ladder beside a 1999 Slice Chair by Matthias Bengtsson.Photo: Jeremy LiebmanVintage staircase models.Photo: Jeremy LiebmanIf expanding access to Cooper Hewitts collection is now a top priority, so too is collecting new ideas. We want to bring people together and provide forums for exchange, Nicanor explains, speaking to dual ambitions of growing public programs and improving the visitor experience. We are thinking about how people encounter the space, and how that continuesand happens simultaneously online. Above all else, she hopes the museum emphasizes the important role design plays in our everyday lives. Design is not neutral. It imposes feelings and actions, shaping our decisions.Just one object, Nicanor emphasizes, can tell many different stories.

Donald Trump says no apology necessary for Signalgate as Mike Waltz breaks silenceSign up for the daily Inside Washington email for exclusive US coverage and analysis sent to your inboxGet our free Inside Washington emailGet our free Inside Washington emailI would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read ourprivacy policyPresident Donald Trump has said National Security Adviser Mike Waltz has no need to apologize for the alarming security breach in which he inadvertently added Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, to a Signal group chat discussing upcoming military action.During an interview with Newsmax on Tuesday night, Trump attempted to shift the blame towards an unnamed lower level White House employee instead, despite Waltz himself saying he takes full responsibility for the disaster.The administration has been under fire since it emerged on Monday that senior officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, reportedly discussed a highly-sensitive operation targeting Houthi positions in Yemen.Hegseth like Waltz, facing calls for his resignation from Democrats called Goldberg a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist.Two members of the chat, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday and were extensively grilled on the breach.It has since been reported that members of the Signal group partied with the president at a $1-million-a-seat fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago hours after the successful bombing raid took place.RecommendedKey PointsJasmine Crockett under fire for mocking Texas governors wheelchair: Governor Hot Wheels down thereThe Texas Democrat is facing sharp criticism from Republicans after she mocked Governor Greg Abbott over his wheelchair use.Crockett has often been praised in recent weeks by progressives for her confrontational stance against conservatives and the Trump administration, particularly when her party elders like Chuck Schumer have been found wanting.But speaking at the Human Rights Campaign 2025 dinner in Los Angeles this past weekend, the representative said: We in these hot a** Texas streets, honey.Yall know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there. Come on now!

The 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, who sported a Trump flag as a cape, was fatally shot while climbing through a broken door barricaded by officers as they attempted to evacuate dozens of members of Congress.Last January, Babbitts family filed a $30 million wrongful death suit against the government.James Liddell has more.Trump promises to look into Ashli Babbitts shooting death on January 6President said he did not know that the family of the woman fatally shot in the Capitol riots is embroiled in a legal battle with the Department of JusticeJoe Sommerlad26 March 2025 11:50Why Hegseth could end up being Trumps scapegoatVery hard to degree with Democrat Eric Swalwells observation here on the Defense Secretarys reassurances yesterday:Heres John Bowdens analysis on what could happen next if this one refuses to blow over.Why Pete Hegseth could end up being Trumps scapegoatAnalysis: Trump may have to pay a political price to move on from a shocking breach of security by his most senior officials, writes John BowdenJoe Sommerlad26 March 2025 11:30Top Democrat calls for Hegseth and Waltz to resignMark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, demanded the resignations of senior Trump administration officials yesterday during an extremely timely and heated gathering of the panel.Vice Chair Warner grilled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday and slammed National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after they failed to conduct security hygiene 101 in their Signal chat, failing to notice that The Atlantics editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg had been included in the text chain.Putting aside for a moment that classified information should never be discussed over an unclassified system, its also just mind boggling to me that all these senior folks were on this line and nobody bothered to even check, Warner said.

The president and his Republican allies also have made baseless claims about widespread voting by non-citizens, which is illegal and, in fact, rarely occurs.Last year, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a bill that would ban non-citizens from registering to vote in federal elections, a practice that is already illegal. It did not pass the Senate, which was then controlled by Democrats.The White House's order seeks to achieve similar goals. Voting rights groups argued that it, like the aforementioned Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act that did not become law, would disenfranchise voters, particularly people of color, who do not have access to passports or other required identification.Weve got to straighten out our elections, Trump said as he signed the order at the White House. This country is so sick because of the elections, the fake elections and the bad elections, were going to straighten that out one way or the other.The order, like so many of his others, is likely to draw legal challenges.Trump has signed an executive order overhauling elections.

Erupting With Fury"I'm honestly heartbroken..." Helldivers 2's latest patch upsets lovers of a gun that once caused accidental self-murders so much that they're drawing MS Paint diagramsIf you're still wondering which weapon it is, I have one word for you - shrapnel.Image credit: Arrowhead News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on March 26, 2025 Uh oh. The pretty titchy Helldivers 2 patch that dropped yesterday has managed to earn the ire of players who love a certain gun. It's the Eruptor, and as you might have guessed if you're a HD2 veteran, the tweak that's caused the aggro is to the shrapnel the gun kicks out in order to do a lot of its damage.For the folks who don't have an empirical knowledge of every weapon and stratagem in Helldivers 2, the Eruptor and its shrapnel made headlines last year because the rogue bits of metal turned out to be behind a wave of weird instances of divers suddenly dying to their own gunfire. What followed was the removal of shrapnel by Arrowhead, something Eruptor fans weren't best pleased about, before the gun finally got a proper revamp heading into autumn.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Since then, it's been earning pretty good reviews, even getting a handy buff to its armour penetration in last week's big balancing update. However, the comparatively titchy patch 01.002.201 that Arrowhead put out yesterday made one tweak that seems to instantly evaporated a lot of the good vibes folks had about the gun."Fixed an issue where shrapnel from surface-hits was forced in a roughly south-west direction," the change in question reads, "Shrapnel should now properly fly out in a 180-ish arc in the direction of the surface hit." Sounds fine, but according to a bunch of Eruptor hardcores on the game's subreddit, this has resulted in the gun's performance being nerfed to a noticeable degree. The Eruptor's shrapnel now explodes away from the target byu/MrIDoK inHelldiversTo see this content please enable targeting cookies."I initially thought it meant that shrapnel would go in the same direction you're shooting, but after trying it in game it seems like it's the opposite," wrote one player who's gone as far as opening up and MS Paint and whacking together some crude diagrams that aim to indicate how they reckon the shrapnel's now behaving, "Shrapnel goes away from the hit point. So, while before I was able to one shot brood commanders, now it mostly doesn't happen even if I get a headshot, all the shrapnel just explodes back towards you and away from the target.""By the wording of it, it seems unclear as to whether this change is intended to apply to enemy hits or just surfaces such as the ground," reads another post, "If it is just the latter then ostensibly the wording makes perfect sense, but currently in-game even on direct hits on the enemy the shrapnel just flies backwards which both looks and feels nonsensical and cartoonish."If anyone at Arrowhead sees this (I have formally submitted a bug report as this does not logically seem intended with the wording) we need some clarification as to whether or not this is meant to apply to enemy (not surface) hits or not. Regardless, I would sincerely request a full reversion until a proper fix can be implemented as this has rendered the weapon nearly worthless in my matches."We'll have to see if the studio does say anything about this tweak and whether it's working as intended. Have you given the Eruptor a go since this patch dropped, and how did it perform? Let us know below!

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube800kA new game that promises to blend addictive monster collecting with compelling farming mechanics has smashed its Kickstarter goal with another 29 days left of its campaign.Created by Sean Young at SmashGames (Littlewood and Kindergarten Buddy Edition), MonsterPatch is currently only scheduled for release on Steam, though Young has stated that a console launch may also be possible later down the road. Given the monumental early success of the campaign, we imagine a Switch release could well be on the cards at some point.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube800kWatch on YouTube The gameplay takes heavy inspiration from classic Pokmon titles with top-down pixel art presentation, random battle encounters, and two distinct versions included in the final product. In addition, farming and town-building mechanics are also included, making MonsterPatch a wonderful blend of Pokmon and Stardew Valley.Backers can pledge a minimum of 16 / $20 for a digital Steam code, with rewards going all the way up to $426 / $550. Those looking to splash out will be able to assist in the game's development by designing your own 'MoN' with your name included in the credits. Currently, completion and delivery of the game is scheduled for December 2025, though this may well be a placeholder given the complexities of game development.Still, we're sincerely hoping this one makes it to the Switch (or the Switch 2!); it looks like it pays appropriate homage to classic Pokmon games, and the farming mechanics will no doubt satisfy those looking for something similar to Stardew. We can't wait to see more.Images: SmashGamesWe'll be sure to keep your updated on Monsterpatch's progress and whether or not a Switch releases is on the cards in the coming weeks and months.
