Leaks uncovered in the latest update suggest that Psycho Bandit, the Borderlands 3 skin, is returning to Fortnite after a five-year break. While collaborations are quite common in Fortnite nowadays, that was not the case before. Gamers now expect to get at least one collab skin in the Battle Pass and new Item Shop collaborations every week or so, but a few years ago, it was a rare event, making it a much bigger deal in comparison.

Enix opened its doors in 1975 and would gain infamy when it released the first Dragon Quest game in 1986. Squaresoft officially began in that same year, coincidentally, and even though they made games before that, their first big success came a year later in Japan with Final Fantasy. Then the two merged in 2003 and created an RPG empire called Square Enix.

To be blunt, you’d have to be high not to trade in your Xbox Series X to GameStop since it promises Pro members $420.69 (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) in store credit through April 26. No matter how long you’ve had your Series X — a day, or going on almost five years — taking a deal that has you getting back 85% of its total value in credit is simply unheard of in my experience trading products in at GameStop. If this sounds like something you’d like to do, you’ll need a GameStop Pro membership to get the special trade-in amount. And, lucky for us all, there’s a deal happening that lets you knock $5 off a yearly membership. After you add GameStop Pro to your cart, enter the promo code FIVEOFFPRO to see the price fall from $25 to $20. Then, head to your local GameStop with your Xbox Series X and everything that originally came included in the box (controller, HDMI cable, power cable) to get your trade-in credit. This promotion seems to be aimed directly at people who love brands that use April 20 not only to joke about smoking weed but also doing the sex (its Facebook ad includes a picture of the shiba inu from the long-ruined “doge” meme with “deal with it” glasses on, which should tell you everything you need to know about the kind of people GameStop presumes pot smokers to be). Through the veil of this cringe, it’s also aimed at more mature people who might very well be scheming plans to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 during an especially tumultuous economic moment. In response to a Facebook user who insists this is too good to be true, GameStop replied with “It’s no joke!”

The world is even less accessible than I thought.Continue reading on UX Collective »

Everyone wants privacy, but how far are you willing to go for it? For most people, the answer is "not very far." The cost of privacy is not only the knowledge it takes to navigate safely and invisibly online, but often also the inconvenience that comes with security practices practices like using VPNs, installing ad blockers and other extensions, and using a non-Chrome browser. If you go to extra lengths to protect your online privacy, we want to hear from you. And if you go to extreme lengths, we definitely want to hear from you. The first time I switched to a privacy-focused browser, I wondered why I hadn't done it sooner. I left Google Chrome after reading one of the countless stories about how Chrome is the worst browser for your data and privacy, and after importing my bookmarks and settings, I admittedly felt rather smug. I was a Brave user now, separate from the flock of sheep who gave their data away to Chrome, resigned to having their data tagged and tracked wherever they went. I also deleted my Facebook account, installed a VPN on my phone, and used Tor to browse anything I would be less than proud of. I also stopped using Google Maps. At least, I tried. As you might have guessed, few of these changes lasted long. Protecting my privacy online was one inconvenience after another. At first, I attributed my minor annoyances to a learning curve. My VPN broke certain websites, so I got in the habit of switching it on and off whenever I needed, for example. But while some decisions made life easier—I still don't miss Facebook, and browsing the internet without an ad blocker seems unthinkable now—others created accumulating obstacles. Websites wouldn't load, citing compatibility problems with my browser. Extensions were unavailable. Tech walkthroughs with friends and IT teams each invariably met the point where I would need to explain that, no, I am not on Chrome, or Firefox, or Edge. Once, I spent several days debating companies, agencies, and friends who insisted they tried calling me even though my phone never rang. Frustrated, I eventually called Verizon, and a customer service representative ran me through a series of tests and pings to identify the problem. After half an hour, my call was escalated to a higher tech support team that walked me through heavier solutions like resetting my network. Eventually, in a moment of clarity, I apologized to customer service, confessed that it was user error, and hung up the phone. I knew what the problem was, even if I couldn't explain it: I left my VPN on, and somehow it was blocking incoming calls. I turned it off, and life went back to normal.I began to feel less smug and more impractical, my decision to live a privacy-focused life having downsides I wasn't sure I was willing to accept. My breaking point came when I was on a trip and a Netflix error informed me that my browser was no longer supported. Stuck at an airport with yet another inconvenience, I got frustrated, threw in the towel, and found myself back on Chrome. Of course, my failure is my own, and there are endless reasons to push past the inconveniences to make your online privacy a standard practice. As part of our Safety Net series, I want to speak with people who take their privacy seriously enough to go to great lengths—arguably extreme ones, even—to keep your identity and privacy safe. I want us to learn what you do for privacy, what it's like to use technology the way you do, and how much convenience you sacrifice to do it. If this sounds like you, email me at jcalhoun@lifehacker.com with the subject line "Safety Net" or message me on Bluesky, and I'll get back to you if your story is selected to be featured. If it sounds like someone you know, please send them this article to share their experience. You can, of course, stay as anonymous as you'd like.
