Sony's PlayStation Plus is a well-known brand with a long history, but the service received a substantial makeover in 2022. Combining the original version with PS Now, the platform adopted a tiered system that seemed designed to offer something equivalent to Xbox Game Pass, with the higher levels containing extensive libraries of games that are updated monthly.

Blizzard has published the Diablo 4 2025 roadmap that lists out some of what players can look forward to this year (and beyond). After the rise of Mephisto during Vessel of Hatred, 2025 will be mostly about the spread of Mephisto’s influence, along with some unannounced collaborations and rewards. We’ll break down everything announced in the Diablo 4 2025 roadmap below. Diablo 4 2025 roadmap The Diablo 4 2025 roadmap is broken down by quarters that correspond to seasons. January through April: Season of Witchcraft The beginning of the year saw the introduction of witch powers, headhunts, occult gems, and an earnable raven pet. The new Armory system was also added. April to June: Belial’s Return Late spring and early summer will bring Belial’s Return and new boss powers, a new apparition incursion activity, and a new earnable feline pet. You’ll be able to tackle Belial and two other bosses from Vessel of Hatred as part of the updated Lair Boss system. There will also be an update to the Battle Pass system. Details are still a little thin, but it is likely going to be replaced by the Reliquary and will allow players to set their own order for earning rewards. This season will also see the first of two as-yet-unannounced IP collaborations. July to September: Sins of the Horadrim Early fall’s Sins of the Horadrim will bring some changes to nightmare dungeon progression, Horadric powers, and a new earnable pet. Keyboard and mouse support for consoles will also be added. September to December: Infernal Chaos Diablo 4 rounds out the year with Infernal Chaos and chaos powers, infernal horde tweaks, and another earnable pet. The second IP collaboration will also take place at the end of the year. What to expect for Diablo 4 in 2026 The big thing to watch for next year is a new expansion to Diablo 4, plus leaderboards and an overhaul to the ranking system.

But when I got into the habit of riding a spin bike regularly, I grudgingly switched to "real" cycling shoes—the kind with the cleat on the bottom of the shoe that clicks into a special socket on the pedal. I’ve written before about how I struggled those first few spin classes, trying to get the hang of using the rental shoes. It wasn't until I got a spin bike to use at home that I realized, after a few rides, I really needed those shoes.Why do cyclists use shoes with cleats?Serious cyclists use cycling shoes because of how well they transfer power from your legs to the pedals. This isn’t a big deal when you’re casually biking around town, but if you expect to be able to sprint hard in a spin class or stand up from the saddle, you’ll definitely want your shoes to be up to the job.Wear thin-soled shoes, like Chucks, and you’ll feel the outline of the pedal pressing uncomfortably into your foot. Wear flexible sneakers, like running shoes, and you’ll notice the sole bending during those out-of-saddle climbs. I ended up using hiking shoes before I finally gave in and went shopping for actual cycling shoes. Your shoes and pedals need to be compatibleCycling pedals and shoes are not universally compatible. If you look at the bottom of a pair of cycling shoes, there’s a metal and/or plastic attachment called a cleat. This is what locks on to the pedal. There are a bunch of different cleat systems. Peloton uses a large, triangular cleat called LOOK Delta, while road cyclists often like Shimano’s SPD cleats, and will debate over whether the SM-SH51 or the SM-SH56 is the better one to get. (If you’re riding outdoors and you’re new to cleats, get the 56. It’s easier to unclip.)The pedal/cleat/shoe situation can get complicated if you’re riding a bike outdoors, especially once you start considering whether you’ll also need to walk in the same shoes. This is where spin bike owners can breathe a sigh of relief. You’ll only need to walk from wherever you put your shoes on to the bike, and you don’t have to worry about how quickly you can unclip in an emergency. You just need something to connect your foot to your bike. I chose my first pair of cleats by searching Amazon for pedals in my price range, and ended up with a pair of pedals that have a toe cage on one side and an SPD-compatible attachment on the other. I kept that in my shopping cart while I looked for shoes to match, and found a pair that could take SPD-style cleats. If you already have either the shoes or the pedals, take stock of their requirements and get matching parts. Not sure what to search for? These cleats and pedals are sometimes called “clipless," even though people talk about “clipping in.” That's to distinguish them from toe clips. (You know, the cage things.) Look for "SPD pedals" and "SPD cleats" or "SPD shoes."How to buy a matching set Shoes and pedals are sold separately, but here’s a tip for shopping: The cleats traditionally come with the pedals, even though they attach to the shoes. (You can also buy the cleats on their own.) So the procedure is: Find a pair of pedals with your chosen cleat type (such as SPD)Find a pair of cycling shoes that can take the appropriate type of cleat. This means they need to have screw holes in the right places. Some shoes can take multiple types of cleat; check before you buy. (Sometimes shoes will come with cleats attached, but not always.)Make sure that you'll have a set of cleats for each pair of shoes. Usually the cleats come with pedals, but sometimes the shoes also do, and you can always buy cleats separately if needed.If two people will be sharing the same bike, you'll need two pairs of shoes and thus two pairs of cleats. You only need one set of pedals per bike, of course.How to install your cleats (if you need to)Typically you open up your brand-new box of pedals and find the cleats alongside them in a little baggie. Then you open up your brand-new shoes and try them on to ensure they fit as snugly as possible without hurting you, and then you install the cleats from the pedal package on your new shoes.I found this video helpful when installing my cleats. If yours are a different style, just look up a video about the type you’ve got. Once everything is set up, take a little time to practice clipping in and out, and you’re ready to pedal.One more thing: Read up on your style of cleat and find out what adjustments you can make. There may be a screw on the pedal itself that makes it harder or easier to clip in, and you may be able to tweak the placement of the cleat on the shoe. After a few rides, you’ll have a better sense of what you might want to adjust.What to buy if you want SPD cleatsSPD cleats make the most sense if you ride outdoors. You can even swap out your spin bike pedals for a pair of SPD-compatible pedals so you can use the same shoes with your spin bike and your outdoor bike. Here's what you'll need:Reversible pedals with SPD on one side and toe cages on the other. They come with SPD cleats to attach to your shoes.Or buy a pair of standard SPD pedals (no toe cage option). They also come with cleats.If you need an extra pair of cleats—for example, so you can share the bike with a family member—here’s a pair of SPD SM-SH51 cleats (good for indoor cycling), and they even come with an allen wrench.Now that you’ve got the pedals and cleats, all you need is a shoe. Fortunately, tons of cycling shoes are SPD-compatible. (They’ll have two little screw holes next to each other.) Try these: This Shimano unisex shoe works with SPD or Peloton cleats.The TIEM Slipstream looks like a cute sneaker, but is actually an SPD-compatible cycling shoe.The Giro Rumble is a mountain bike shoe that looks like a cross between a cycling shoe and a low-cut hiking boot. It is also SPD-compatible.Shimano’s “high performance” indoor cycling shoe has a twisty-knob (“BOA”) closure and great reviews.

But if you end up needing to buy the cleats separately, here’s a set of LOOK Delta cleats that you can attach to any compatible cycling shoes, and here’s a set that includes both the LOOK Delta pedals and cleats. And consider your shoe options. You may feel like you should get the official Peloton shoes, but the consensus among die-hard Peloton riders is that they kind of suck. Better to pick a shoe that fits your foot and that has a convenient closure. Here are a few options: Here’s an inexpensive shoe that can take SPD- or Peloton-style cleats (cleats not included).These Betoosen shoes come with LOOK Delta (Peloton-style) cleats already installed.These Tomasso Pista shoes have a BOA closure and come in a variety of colorways, plus the cleats are already installed.These Asphodelus shoes come in artsy styles and, again, have cleats pre-installed. tommaso Veloce II Men's Indoor & Road Cycling Shoe – Compatible with Look Delta, SPD & SPD-SL – No Cleats – EU 47 / US 13 White/Black $69.99 at Amazon Get Deal Get Deal $69.99 at Amazon

After dozens of mind-bending, thought-provoking escapades across time and space, Black Mirror’s seventh season is tackling something new: its first-ever sequel episode. The Emmy-winning Netflix series dropped its entire six-episode seventh season on Thursday, April 10, closing with the finale “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” The sprawling 90-minute episode rounds up many of the actors from Black Mirror’s season 4 episode “USS Callister” — including Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Osy Ikhile, Milanka Brooks and Paul G. Raymond — for another adrenaline-pumping adventure. The USS Callister’s crew, still trapped in the Infinity company’s space-faring virtual reality MMORPG, are barely scraping by, robbing other players of their credits to simply survive. In the real world, the crew’s in-game robberies become problematic for Infinity’s greedy CEO James Walton (Jimmi Simpson) when a tenacious investigative reporter starts to ask questions, threatening to implicate the company and its former founder Robert Daly. Sequels are generally difficult to pull off well, but “USS Callister: Into Infinity” is a rare exception, thanks to years of development by Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, who worked on the script on-and-off for years after “USS Callister” aired in December 2017 and became one of the show’s most popular episodes. Simpson told Engadget he first learned he would revisit the Black Mirror universe in 2021. The 49-year-old actor holds credits in shows like Westworld, Dark Matter and Pachinko — and yet, Simpson is still “surprised” when projects come together. “When people say it's happening, I don't believe them, ever, until it's definitely happening,” he said. Beyond his hesitation about gigs panning out in general, Simpson also had reservations that the original episode could successfully be iterated on. “It's a one-piece film. I was a little bit cynical," he said, "How are you going to top [the first episode].” “They found not just the reason to spend more time with these characters, but the reason why the story wasn't done yet,” he continued. “That was my favorite part, that they made this sequel kind of essential.” Nick Wall/Netflix Revisiting Walton after seven years wasn’t as difficult as he thought it might be. “It was pretty natural. It was kind of like putting on an old suit that had ketchup stains all over it. So it's familiar, but smells weird,” Simpson mused. “And so I just dropped into that guy.” It also helped that many of Simpson’s scenes this time were with Milioti, who reprises her role as an Infinity programmer, now turned captain of the USS Callister. For Simpson, she was the ideal acting partner. “[Milioti] takes pauses like a jazz musician,” he explained, adding, “She's always making something alive, and so I think our work together was some of my favorite stuff.” Brooker previously described season 7 as a “little bit OG Black Mirror” and “back to basics in many ways,” which bodes well for the beloved show. It left an indelible impression on viewers since premiering in 2011 by weaving heady speculative fiction premises with a deep sense of humanity. Simpson hopes that longtime Black Mirror viewers — and fans of “USS Callister” in particular — find the show’s first “expansion” episode worth the long wait, and that they’re “beyond entertained” by what the cast and crew took time to painstakingly and lovingly create. “Entertainment, you know, what we do, it's about giving you a nice time, because the world sucks sometimes,” he admits. “So let's spend some time together. We’ve got that in spades. I think we also have a little commentary on the power of loneliness and the power of togetherness, and it shows you both of those things perfectly.”This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/jimmi-simpson-worried-black-mirrors-return-to-the-uss-callister-wouldnt-be-essential-070050250.html?src=rss
