Roblox adding further parental controls, as its belated push to improve child safety continues"We know there's always more to be done."Image credit: Roblox News by Tom Phillips Editor-in-Chief Published on Nov. 18, 2024 Roblox has today announced further tools designed to improve the safety of its young audience, including the ability for parents to remotely manage their child's account, view their child's friends list and limit the amount of time made available to play.In the coming months, further changes will be made to stop children under 13 from directly messaging others outside of games, and limit interactions within games to public messages only. Starting today, Roblox is also simplifying its content labels and limiting the games and experiences children under nine can see on the platform by default.Today's announcements mark yet a third set of changes detailed by Roblox in the past month. Previously-announced policy tweaks were revealed to now require parental access to be given for children to access some in-game chat features. This was followed by the announcement of a ban on social hangout experiences for kids under 13 due to "user behaviour that can potentially pose a risk". Roblox has long been criticised for not doing enough to ensure the safety of its enormous audience, the majority of which are kids. This summer, a Bloomberg report revealed that Roblox itself had reported 13,316 instances of child exploitation in 2023, and that more than two dozen people had been arrested for abusing minors following contact in-game.All of the above announced changes by Roblox follow the publication of a damning report last month that again highlighted examples of inappropriate - and allegedly, illegal - content being shared on the platform, and that also claimed Roblox had not been transparent around its user activity metrics (a claim Roblox said it "rejected").Despite the recent flurry of changes, Roblox says today's announcements were decided upon and would be implemented following "multiple rounds of internal research, including interviews, usability studies, international surveys with parents and children, and consultation with experts from child safety and media literacy organisations". A Roblox spokesperson claimed these updates, announced today, had already been "praised by partners, including the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) and the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI)"."We've spent nearly two decades building strong safety systems, but we know there's always more to be done," Roblox chief safety officer Matt Kaufman said in a statement. "Last quarter saw a record average for daily active users on Roblox - over 88 million - and as our platform has grown in scale, we have always recognised that our approach to safety must evolve with it. Today's launch represents the next stage in that evolution."Last month, Roblox hit Dress To Impress removed a hotdog outfit after players used it to dress up like male genitalia.

Check out how we test and review games hereNexon recently shared their plans for The First Descendant Season 2 in a thorough developer commentary. Players have a new Ultimate to anticipate, two new characters, a new boss, and a host of new skins. While players are head over heels in love with the revealed new outfits already, the unfortunate news is that Nexon will not be changing prices for The First Descendant Season 2 skins.We only have to wait until December 5th for The First Descendant Season 2 release date to arrive. Again, theres two new characters for players to look forward to, and the new Ultimate is Sharen. Aside from what was announced in the developer commentary, Nexon has also revealed a new feature previously kept secret, and the developer is looking to add jiggle physics in the future with appropriate options.In addition, there are big improvements on the way for skins involving body diversity and them no longer being seasonal. While players are happy with the appearance of the costumes, a lot of fans would still like to see price changes for skins.Nexon is not changing the price for skins in The First Descendant Season 2Since the launch of The First Descendant, there has been regular complaints online that skins are overpriced. Not only skins, but there have also been complaints about the way Nexon has handled selling cosmetic dyes.There is good and bad news for TFD Season 2. The good news is that you will be able to buy attachments and components of skins individually, meanwhile, the bad news is that Nexon is not considering a price change to skins overall.On Discord, TFD_PD_Lee was told The new skins for season 2 look awesome but I want to see price changes soon, I really enjoy the game and I want this game a great success but please fix the prices so you can have more players spending and getting player retention. The player ultimately argued in favor of a price decrease by stating Its not the same spending for a 50 dlls skin for 10 people instead of a 15 dlls skin for 50 people.While a lot of players would like to see a price decrease, however minor, the unfortunate news is that a change is not being considered. TFD_PD_Lee explained We [Nexon] currently have no plans to adjust skin prices. Even when skins are converted to universal skins, their prices will remain the same. While some have suggested that a price increase might be acceptable when skins become universal, weve all agreed to maintain the existing prices.The good news is that we wont be getting any price increases, but the bad is that there wont be a decrease. However, in further good news, Nexon plan to continue expanding the availability of skins as rewards (through events, battle passes, boss clears, etc.) rather than purely as paid content.Image credit: The First Descendant DiscordFor more The First Descendant, we have a guide to thebest skills and loadout for Viessa, along with thebest skills, gear, and mods for the hugely popular Bunny.

Check out how we test and review games hereFortnite players are always on the lookout for the next collaboration that Epic will bring into the game since there already have been so many in the game in the past few years. Right from TV, movies, and comic books to musical artists have been added to the looped island bringing numerous icons as in-game cosmetic outfits.At the same time, several popular game franchises have also collaborated with Fortnite to bring their characters into the game such as God of War and Metal Gear Solid. Another popular collab that didnt get enough limelight at the time was with Alan Wake 2 which brought the protagonist of that game to Fortnite as an Item Shop skin.However, now the director of Alan Wake 2, Sam Lake has shown interest in numerous Fortnite collabs in the future, one of which is as iconic as it gets and has been something that fans want in the game.Sam Lake wants iconic Alan Wake 2 dance to become a Fortnite emoteIn a conversation with IGN, Alan Wake 2 director Sam Lake was asked if he would like to see Max Payne become a Fortnite skin someday, the character he wrote for Rockstar in the early 2000s. To the question, Sam replied, Yeah maybe, I dont know. Maybe, if we pick through the Remedy Connected Universe, I would certainly love to see Alex Casey in Fortnite.Sam Lake wants Herald of Darkness as a Fortnite emote. Image by IGN.To those unaware, Alex is an officer for the FBI in Alan Wake 2 and is modeled after Lake and written by Alan Wake in his novels. Alex is a quite vital character in both Alan Wake games since whatever Wake faces in the games is through his experiences while writing Alex.Moving on, Sam Lake also told IGN, But if there is another thing about Fortnite that I still feel should have been there, I think that the dance choreography of Herald of Darkness definitely should be in Fortnite.Herald of Darkness was one of the most popular dance moments in video game history as it became a viral sensation even to those who werent acquainted with Alan Wake before its sequel. During the release of the game numerous fans had requested Epic to add the dance as an emote in Fortnite, but now that Sam has expressed interest, fans believe it could become a reality soon.One such fan said, Sam Lake really knows what the people want. One of the best people in the gaming industry. Another wrote, Put Casey in Fortnite and I will play the game again. A third user commented, They did it once they can do it again, I need this please, while referring to the requests made by fans for adding the Bye Bye Bye emote.

The pressure was on when Claire Staszak and Sara Gubin spotted the cobalt velvet padding of a pristine Guillerme et Chambron armchair on one of their last stops at Round Top, the Texas antiques fair. It was one of those moments when you see something from a mile away, and it seems like youre running in slow motion to get to it, says Staszak, owner of Chicago-based interiors firm and AD PRO Directory member Centered by Design. We were dealing with bad reception and sending images to our client that wouldnt go through. Though some might find that kind of thing stressful, Staszak and Gubin, her lead designer, were exhilarated. I joked that our trip to Round Top was more fun than my bachelorette party, she laughs.A graphic Oscar Isberian rug anchors the custom Centered by Design cocktail table and Verellen sectional and accent chairs in the family room. The throw pillows are from Pat McGann Gallery and Treko.Shop out the look of the house hereStaszak and Gubin were fortunate to have a client who shares their love of the hunt. She lit up when we would look at vintage items, the designer says of the homeowner, who tasked her with converting a 5,400-square-foot house built in 2003 into something more in keeping with a classic Chicago greystone. These pieces would often become the starting point or inspiration for a room. An old French cataloging bureau dictated the palette and mix of materials in the formal living room, where a pair of leather-clad Nielaus and Jeki Mobler chairs sit with a live-edge walnut cocktail table. In the primary bathroom, vintage Barovier Rostrato sconces inspired the aqua-green veining in the Calacatta turquoise Antico marble that adorns the walls and vanity.The beauty of these pieces is that we werent just choosing something that was pretty or perfect, says Gubin, noting the clients preference for fashion-forward interiors that also exude West Coast calm and sophistication. Each piece that we chose was extremely intentional in that it had a strong silhouette or a statement pattern or a patina that added a lot of depth and character. Our client wanted that graphic element that you find in New York brownstones, but there are also a lot of the neutrals that you see in California interiors.In the formal living room, an Armadillo rug sets a neutral base for a Rowe sofa upholstered in Dedar velvet, a live-edge Skylar Morgan cocktail table, and vintage leather-clad Nielaus and Jeki Mobler chairs.

The Gommaar Gilliams artwork was purchased with help from art consultant Laura Lester of Lester Fine Art.Jennifer Shorto fabric covers the Doorman bar stools in the kitchen, where lanterns by Visual Comfort hang above the marble-clad island. A second sink (there is another larger one on the perimeter of the room) proves especially useful when the family is hosting friends and loved ones.Calacatta viola countertops, Classic Brass hardware, flushmounts from the Urban Electric Co., and custom cabinetry covered in Benjamin Moores Cole Stone elevate the butlers pantry.Seagrass-backed Noir chairs make a subtle textural statement in the breakfast nook, a quiet space of that kitchen thats embellished with a vintage Gio Ponti mirror, Club Cu French oak console, Ravenhill Studio chandelier, and McLaurin & Piercy striped Roman shades.Take the wallpaper in the dining room, a contemporary print by Calico that reads more historical thanks to its juxtaposition against a stately oak refectory table and an antique French store counter turned credenza. A palette of earthy browns, olives, and burnt redsand materials taken from the natural worldground the spaces, a series of airy rooms that get lots of natural light thanks to the houses unusual (for Chicago) horizontal rather than vertical footprint on a double-wide lot. Theres probably more wood than we ever use, says Staszak, also noting the mix of stone tiles, hand-dyed linens, and brass finishes, but thats where the California energy comes in. Adds Gubin, Theres an organic quality to the rooms, which makes it very comfortable.Most PopularMagazineTaking a Trip to Kenny Scharf's Ecstatic LA AbodeBy Mayer RusArchitecture + DesignThe 11 Most Beautiful Palaces Around the WorldBy Maya Chawla AD-it-Yourself31 Charming Farmhouse Living Room Ideas to Gather RoundBy Sarah LyonA botanical print by Calico adds a dose of elegant romance to the custom Centered by Design refectory table, Highland House chairs, and an antique French store counter turned credenza in the formal dining room.

The family often retreats to the private media room off the primary bedroom, and Staszak installed a cozy reading nook in a closet under the basement stairs, a surprise move-in present designed to make the family feel instantly at home, complete with a mural of a tree carved with the kidss names into the trunk.

Creating Fibonacci Patterns with Geometry Nodes By Richard van der Oost on November 18, 2024 Videotutorials Fibonacci sequences and patterns are everywhere in nature, and they can create fascinatingly complex images. Richard van der Oost shows how to generate them with Blender.Today we're making Fibonacci patterns in Geometry Nodes. (using the Golden Ratio)This is what we're aiming for:It's a pattern that emerges in nature quite often. The most common example is the arrangement of seeds in sunflowers :)I've created 3 screencasts where I show you how to do this. In the spirit of Nodevember it will be very Geometry Nodes heavy.Part 1: https://youtu.be/BZUGrVTQE64Part 2: https://youtu.be/lNvq-NEgPUwPart 3: https://youtu.be/8Dy0-dcitS0There is also a fully written version, with downloads to the .blend files at every stage.I hope you enjoy the videos and make something awesome yourself!

Sir David Attenborough does not approve of AI being used to replicate his voice.In a BBC News segment on Sunday, an AI recreation of the famous British broadcasters voice speaking about his new series Asia was played next to a real recording, with little to no difference between the two. BBC researchers had found the AI-generated Attenborough on a website, and said there were several that claimed to clone his voice.In response, the 98-year-old sent the following statement to BBC News: Having spent a lifetime trying to speak what I believe to be the truth, I am profoundly disturbed to find that these days, my identity is being stolen by others and greatly object to them using it to say whatever they wish. Related StoriesAI-generated Attenborough then crafted a reply, which BBC News played. Lets set the record straight. Unless Mr. Attenborough has been moonlighting for us in secret and under an assumed name with work authorization in the United States, he is not on our payroll, it said. I am not David Attenborough. We are both male, British voices for sure. However, I am not David Attenborough, for anyone out there who may be confused.Popular on VarietyDr. Jennifer Williams, an AI audio researcher at the University of Southampton, then offered her opinion on the matter after BBC News played another clip of the cloned voice speaking about Donald Trumps nomination of Matt Gaetz and the war in Ukraine. Im a little disgusted, she said. This is very serious when you have a trusted voice like Sir David Attenborough, who all around the world people recognize him as an authority, as a voice of truth. And then to have words put in his mouth about war, politics and things that he has never said or may not eve endorse, its very concerning.Watch the full BBC News segment below.

Modding OnDragon Age: The Veilguard modding finally looks to be moving beyond purple deletion and ridiculously attractive Rooks, thanks to some experimental new toolsIt's still early days though, so you might want to make sure you know hat you're doing if you're after more than just a facelift.Image credit: BioWare/VG247 News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on Nov. 18, 2024 It's been a bit quiet on the Dragon Age: The Veilguard modding front so far, unless you've been in the market for works that make the game look a bit darker or save you some character creation time. However, it now looks like that's starting to change, with a bunch of new mods using a new tool to help them do stuff beyond that.If you head onto the game's Nexus Mods page today, you'll find a number of works have begun to pop up which use an alpha version of the 'Frosty Mod Manager', which appears to be an early toolset which a group of modders from FrostyToolsuite Discord server have put together into order to facilitate some more in-depth modding of Veilguard.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. So far, the tool looks to mainly be useful for stuff like switching up textures in the game, with those early examples of works made using it including modder LexTypeC swapping in Dragon Age Origins' font, Izzli having made some edits to clothing, and sajere1 using it to change Davrin's party assembling menu image for a snap where he's not screaming.That said, it's also seemigly useful for some traditional removing of limits the game places on the player, with modder Tellah9 having gotten rid of the specialization limits for each class, and Yeulia having made it easy to max out your faction rep.Padme4000's also used the tool to mute the little noises the dialogue wheel makes as you desperately search for something to day, before inevitably deciding on the sarky option.Now, there is a hangup to all of this - using the Frosty Mod Manager looks to require you to enter an encryption key for the game. This is a very risky proposition modding-wise, as the manager's developers could potentially be in for legal trouble if they're seen to be provably distributing stuff that may allow folks to get around from EA/BioWare's software encryption, which is seemingly why the manager's GitHub page and a lot of the comments on these new mods discourage folks from asking modders to provide the key required directly.So, it's well worth being aware that - as with all mods - you're using this tool at your own risk. If you want to be safe, it's definitely worth waiting to see if Veilguard modders develop tools that don't depend on stuff like this. There's no guarantee that'll happen, but we have recently seen it with the likes of tools that unlock features in Baldur's Gate 3's modding toolkit.Make sure to check out our array of handy guides for Veilguard, which can help you create the best character build and get your hands on some nice loot.

All ClearA year after Payday 3's rocky launch, Starbreeze downsizes the game's team, but thankfully it doesn't sound like any layoffs are on the way just yetLet's hope it stays that way. News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Nov. 18, 2024 In perhaps a not particularly surprising move, Starbreeze is reducing the size of the team working on Payday 3.Everyone knows that Payday 3 had a pretty bad launch. Even Starbreeze knows it! And while the developer is hoping it can regain its players' trust, it'll be doing so with a smaller team working on the game, as outlined in a recent interim report from acting Starbreeze CEO Mats Juhl. In the report Juhl explained that "in the coming months, investment will be lower as we round off 'Operation Medic Bag' for Payday and therefore enter Year 2 with a smaller team focused on continuously updating the game with new content."To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Juhl didn't clarify how exactly that will affect the game, and whether players can expect less frequent or smaller updates, though the "continuously" does suggest at least semi-regular updates. The report does note that Starbreeze "remains financially strong", and there are no mentions of layoffs anywhere, so despite acknowledging that Payday 3 sales still have "great potential to improve", for now hopefully that smaller team is a result of staff being repositioned elsewhere as opposed to losing their jobs outright. Later on Juhl also shared that the game's most recent DLCs have also been well received, so maybe Starbreeze can turn things around.Funnily enough, "relatively stable sales of Payday 2" are helping to support Payday 3's comparatively weaker sales, which isn't surprising considering a lot of players actually went back to the second game.The report also talks of Project Baxter, a Dungeons & Dragons project that apparently "continues at full speed", sharing that internally playtests are taking place, and that there are "active discussions with a number of industry-leading players regarding potential collaborations around Baxter's development and launch."For now, let's hope everyone gets to keep their jobs so the number of layoffs over the past year doesn't increase further still.
