Season 1 of Marvel Rivals launches later this week, bringing two members of the Fantastic Four to the Marvel-themed multiplayer hero shooter. Fridays update also brings a long list of changes for just about every playable Marvel superhero and villain, including many much-needed tweaks to characters like Hawkeye, Hela, and Thor.Many of Marvel Rivals balance adjustments in season 1 come in the form of more or less health for characters. Hela, for example, is having her health shaved down to 250, because shes a menace, according to the games developer.

Whether youre doing your gaming on a PC or PlayStation, storage is always at a premium. But today, that premium is definitely a little more reasonable. Currently, the Samsung 990 Pro and the WD_Black SN850, two of the best SSDs available, are matching their lowest price ever. The 1 TB model of the Samsung 990 Pro is discounted to $99.99 at Samsung (was $174.99), while the 2 TB version is on sale for $159.99 (was $264.99). The 990 Pro is equipped with a built-in heatsink, making it the ideal option for giving your PlayStation a little extra real estate.However, if youve purchased a third-party heatsink or your desktop has a motherboard with a heatsink built in, the SN850X is a slightly more affordable option that offers similar performance to the 990 Pro, but without an integrated heatsink. The 1 TB model is available on Amazon for just $74.99 (was $93.99), while the 2 TB model is discounted to $139.99 (was $189.99). The 2 TB model is also a great option for doubling the storage of the Asus ROG Ally X, which has a motherboard thats compatible with 2280 SSDs. However, youll need to purchase a low-profile heatsink to ensure optimal performance.If youve already expanded the storage on your gaming devices or used up all of your available slots, SSD Storage this cheap also opens up some interesting opportunities. For instance, you can easily transform any M.2 SSD into an ultra-fast flash drive with an inexpensive SSD enclosure, or use a desktop SSD dock to quickly migrate data.

Details on Companion, the horror-thriller debut produced by Barbarian director Zach Cregger, have been skimpy since Warner Bros. released the films mysterious first teaser back in October. With less than a month until its theatrical premiere on Jan. 31, the studio finally decided to pull back the curtain with the first full trailer. And as far as the premise is concerned, I sure did not see that coming. (Spoilers ahead for plot points revealed in the trailer that are probably meant as surprise twists in the movie itself.)Sophie Thatcher (Heretic) stars as Iris, a young woman swept off of her feet by Josh (Jack Quaid), a charming young billionaire she meets while shopping for groceries. After being invited to a weekend trip at her new beaus lakeside estate, Iris uncovers a terrible secret: She is, in fact, a sex robot programmed to obey her masters whims, and their entire courtship has just been one of his sick fantasies. The solution is simple, of course, and its familiar from Alex Garlands Ex Machina: Iris needs to kill everyone who stands in the way of her escape.That certainly explains the otherwise inexplicable weirdness of the teaser, where Iris is handcuffed to a chair at a dinner table, and she watches with teary eyes but surprising calm as her arm catches on fire. While this full trailer seems like its giving away the films big twist, Im betting that first-time feature writer-director Drew Hancock and Cregger have something else up their sleeves, given the cheeky tone of the footage weve seen so far.

Rest days are an important part of any workout routine, since they help you to save your energy for future training days. But what counts as rest, exactlydo you need to avoid all exercise? Ill break down the purpose of these days and answer your questions about what does and doesnt count.What is the purpose of rest days?People say a lot of things about rest days that arent really true, so Id like to take a minute to separate myths from facts.Rest days actually do the following:They balance your workload. Your body can handle three hard workouts in a week if you balance that by giving it four rest days. Note that the number and type of rest days depends on how hard the work days are. If you did six days of relatively easy workouts, one rest day each week would be plenty.They help you fit exercise into your schedule. Most people cant hit the gym every day, just because we have other things to do with our lives. A three-day exercise program (with, yep, four rest days) is a lot easier for most of us to stick to than a six-day one.They take the guesswork out of easy days. If your program told you to alternate hard and easy days, you might find yourself working too hard on the easy days. But if its a complete rest day, you just dont show up to the gym, and now you know for sure you arent doing too much.Now lets talk about some things that rest days are often said to do, but that arent actually true:They dont prevent injury. Balancing your total workload can help to prevent injury, but as we discussed, rest days are one tool that can help in that balance. There are ways to safely exercise without rest days.They arent necessary for muscle growth. Its sometimes said that your muscles recover or grow when youre resting, but keep in mind that if you do a one-hour workout every day, your muscles have 23 hours to rest before the next one.They dont allow full recovery. The results of your workout take days to weeks for your body to fully recover from. We dont wait for full recovery each time, or else wed never get on a consistent schedule and never make any progress in training. Your muscles (and other body systems) can work even when theyre not fully recoveredwithin reason, of course.When should I take rest days?This depends on your training program. Any good training program, whether you get it from an experienced coach or download it from the internet, should be designed with a good balance of work and rest.If youre designing your own routine, here are some guidelines to help you know where to put the rest days. These are not ironclad laws, and lots of good programs will do things differently. But these are helpful rules of thumb to get you started:In a strength training program, each muscle group should get a rest day after being worked for 1 to 2 days. That could mean a full-body strength program where you lift Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or a split where you do upper body Monday and Thursday, lower body Tuesday and Friday, and rest Wednesday and the weekend.In a running or cardio program, beginners should get a rest day after 1 to 2 consecutive workout days. That allows for a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule, which is very popular for beginners.For people with more experience, an easy day can take the place of a rest day. For example, a runner might run five days a week, but only two of those are hard workouts and the other two are easy jogs.Its OK to do two workouts on consecutive days, so long as your total work/rest balance stays the same. For example, if you cant do your Wednesday workout and you end up running on Monday, Thursday, and Friday, thats OK because you still have four rest days this week.Above all, if youre writing or modifying a program for yourself, listen to your body. Its unwise to jump into a five-day-a-week plan when you dont normally exercise at all. Its much better to start with three days, see how that goes, then consider adding more workouts and adjusting their intensity.What should happen on a rest day?Keeping the purposes of rest days in mind, you want to make sure that your rest day accomplishes what its meant to accomplish.In a strength training program, your rest days should give you a break from any serious strength training. That doesnt mean you need to sit on the couch all day, but it does mean that you probably shouldnt do squats again if you just did squats yesterday.On a rest day, you may keep up your baseline level of activity. If you normally get 8,000 steps, you can still take 8,000 steps. If you normally walk your dog, you can still walk your dog. If you work a job that has you on your feet or moving equipment all day, you can still go to work and do your job. You dont literally have to rest, you just have to keep your activity to your baseline level.Can I do strength training when Im resting from cardio, and vice versa?Once you get used to it, yes. Strength training and cardio are different enough that they dont give your body the same kinds of stress. In fact, lifters who do cardio may find that the cardio helps their muscles to recover. And runners who add some strength training may find that the benefits outweigh the lost rest time.Beginners should approach this cautiously, though. If youre doing couch to 5K and coming from a literal couch-potato life, give yourself a few weeks to get used to the new schedule before adding in some beginner-level strength training.That said, remember to listen to your body. If youre a relatively active person, and youve just started strength training, you may not find it fatigues you at all to add a little light jogging. Just pay attention to how that goes, and make adjustments as needed.Consider keeping hard days hard and easy days easyHeres another not-ironclad rule: some coaches advise that its better to stack two workouts on a hard day to free up some rest time on a different day. That could mean doing a run and a strength workout on Tuesday so that you can take a true rest day on Wednesday. If youve been ramping up your exercise volume and find yourself longing for a rest day, try this approach and see if it feels better to you.Can I walk on my rest days?Yes, because walking is light enough exercise that its not likely to fatigue you too much for the training to come. If you dont normally walk much, start with just a short walk and see how that goes. If you normally walk a lot, you can pretty much walk any amount you want on your rest days.Can I do yoga on my rest days?Yes, if you keep it relatively light compared to your harder workout days. A rest day is a good time for gentle flexibility work, light strength work, and just keeping your body moving a bit. If you feel like your yoga session does that, perfect.I would only recommend not doing yoga on a rest day if your idea of yoga is a really tough power yoga class, or if it involves an extreme level of stretching. In that case, you should classify it as a hard workout and make sure that you get some rest from those hard workouts as well.Can I do active recovery on my rest days?Depends what that means to you, but probably! Mobility work, foam rolling, light yoga, walking, and easy swimming can all fall under the umbrella of active recovery. Just remember that active recovery isnt defined by what kind of thing you do, but by how hard it is on your body. If youre a swimmer and find it relaxing to do a few easy laps, then yes, that can absolutely be a recovery activity. But if youre new to swimming, and you find yourself flailing in the water gasping for breath, that is not a recovery activity. Use a little common sense and youll be able to figure it out.

Phones are in a weird spot right now when it comes to gaming. Theyre easily the most popular gaming devices on the market, but they also kind of suck to play on. Despite phones having the power to run some pretty demanding titles, the lack of built-in physical controls force most mobile games to make a lot of compromises to fit the format. Worse, even the best phone controllers are bulky, add a lot of width to your device, and usually require you to take off your case. 20-year-old YouTuber Josh King has had enough, and together with peripheral company Ohsnap, hes releasing the first phone controller I actually feel like Id want to carry around with me on a daily basisthe MCON.The MCON combines two ideas that Im surprised nobody had taken to market before King and Ohsnap. Essentially, it uses MagSafe to ensure an easy and solid grip on your phone, even with its case on, and slide-out controls akin to the slide-out keyboard on old Android phones to help cut down how much space the whole device takes up when not in use. The current MCON controller without a phone attached. Credit: Michelle Ehrhardt The result is a phone controller after my own heart. Im one of the few people who bought Sonys Xperia Play, which also featured a slide-out controller, and I miss it dearly. I love the idea of getting in a few stages in a platformer or a couple of matches in a shooter during my free time much more than idly plugging away at Candy Crush; and yet, I thought the industry had moved past me, always teasing me with increasingly more powerful phones that were nonetheless less useable as gaming devices (at least for my tastes) than a Game Boy.The MCON finally feels like it unleashes the full power of my device in a way that makes me want to use it. Again, its not the first gaming controller for phones, but Im simply not taking my case off every time I want to play, especially if Im going for quick, pick-up-and-play sessions. This is the first real solution for that Ive seen (no, attaching a clamp to your phone and hooking it up to a console controller isn't for me, either), and it helps that its real slick.While Ive gone hands-on with the MCON at CES, its not strictly brand new for the show. Its story began seven months ago, when King posted a video to his YouTube channel running through the same gripes I stated above, expressing astonishment that nobody had beaten him to a MagSafe phone controller, and walking viewers through how he built his own to answer that unserved need. The video went viral, and he tells me that, shortly afterwards, he reached out to peripheral company Ohsnap on LinkedIn after being impressed by videos of their manufacturing process, and started working with the company on mass producing his design. Josh King's original MCON design, prior to working with Ohsnap. Credit: Jake Peterson Fast forward to now, and MCON has a new prototype at CES and an already funded Kickstarter that went live for the show.The new version of MCON, which I got to test just today using my own phone in its own case, is everything I want in a phone controller. It works with your case on. It has a full suite of controls, complete with clickable, drift-resistant Hall Effect sticks. And while it works natively with the iPhones MagSafe, it comes with an adapter for use on just about anything.The idea is simple: When the controller isnt slid out, the MCON looks kind of like a portable MagSafe battery bank, and you can attach your phone to its magnetic surface like you would one of those. But upon pressing the slide-out mechanism, the device will unfold to reveal a full controller, with your phone resting securely on a magnetic mount above it. Said controller can connect to your phone over either Bluetooth or a wired USB-C connection, and theres even enough real estate for your phone to be mounted vertically as well, although that placement will cover the sticks. The MCON controller with a phone mounted vertically. Credit: Michelle Ehrhardt That magnetic connection is strong, by the wayduring my demo, I saw it used to connect the MCON to a tablet, and at no point did I worry it was going to fall off.Because its still being Kickstarted, King and Ohsnap told me that MCON is still a little bit away from release, with an estimate set for August. That makes sensethe one complaint I had with the demo units at the show is they feel a little unfinished, and thats because they are. Ive only used prototypes with 3D-printed parts, but more conventional manufacturing will be used for the final product.Still, the MCON looks like its come a long way since Kings original video. The new version adds optional flip-out grips and swaps out King's original, iPhone exclusive MagSafe plate for a universal sliding magnetic puck, two of which can be stacked on top of each other to support especially thick phones. It also has stacked shoulder and trigger buttons, which were missing on the original prototype.But there are still a few items left on King and Ohsnaps to-do list. While the final device will come with the sliding magnetic puck as its connector, the MCON team does plan to release optional magnetic plates meant to fit specific phones that you can use instead, starting with certain popular devices like the iPhone. Additionally, a slim version with shorter joysticks is on the list, as is a potential pro version, although the upgrades there are still a bit under wraps.Further, when the device releases, Ohsnap will post free 3D printing files for modders, so that the community can help support the MCON as well. While the MCON will only sell in either black or white at launch, other colorways are being considered.First, though, it has to come out. Kickstarter supporters can pre-order an MCON for a $99 pledge, and King tells me the price for the final product will probably be somewhere between $99 and $150, although its still being worked out. For that, youll get the controller itself, two magnetic pucks, and a MagSafe adapter for use with devices that dont have MagSafe built-in.Its a humbler device, but thats part of the fun of CES for me. For my needs, this is easily my best-of-show so far. Itll make me actually want to game on my phone, which basically means Ill suddenly get a small portable gaming console that can run big games like the most recent Assassins Creed right in my pocket. As someone whose pockets definitely cant fit a Switch, and who doesnt want to carry around a bulky traditional phone controller, a phone case, and my phone in my purse or backpack, thats everything my Game Boy and Nintendo DS-loving heart wants.

One of my favorite ways to diminish food waste in my kitchen is to make frequent use of the freezer. An incredible number of the foods you might accidentally let spoil on the counter or in the fridge can be easily preserved with this fantastic ice box. You probably know about extending the life of meats and breads in the freezer, but dont forget the final member of the holy trinity: cheese. However, some freeze better than others. Here are the cheeses you can freeze and the ones that youll just have to eat faster.Why freezing cheese works sometimesFreezing dairy is a tricky business. More accurately, its the thawing that can be disappointing. But other than making your own cheese cave, the freezer is a viable option for extending the life of some cheese. Dairy products, like cheese, milk, sour cream, or yogurt, are emulsions of fat, water, protein, and acid. Depending on the ratio of water to the other elements, the dairy will be liquid like milk, semi-solid like yogurt, semi-firm like cheddar, or firm like parmesan.Freezing will change the composition of anything with water in it. As you likely know, water expands when it freezes, which means if there are tiny water droplets dispersed in a dairy emulsion, theyll push the other elements out of the way as they expand and freeze. When the item thaws, the water changes back into liquid, but the proteins and fats have been pushed into a new space and separated from the water, leaving behind a bigger, use-to-be-ice pocket. These cheeses will still be edible, but their texture will have suffered and this will likely alter how the flavor reads to your taste buds.Cheeses you can freeze (and those you shouldnt)Dont worry, you dont have to memorize a list of specific cheese names to ensure you freeze the right kind. Since water is the biggest victim of change in the freezer, you can rest easy freezing cheeses with a lower water content. Consider freezing hard, aged cheeses, like parmesan, manchego, Iberico, or sharp cheddar. These products will experience less disruption to texture and flavor. Credit: Allie Chanthorn Reinmann Cheeses that have a higher water content will likely experience some separation of water and fat and may look broken or grainy once thawed. So stay away from freezing cheeses that you love for their spreadable, creamy consistency, like brie, camembert, burrata, or blue cheese.Some unexpected cheeses can live in your freezer too. Feta and halloumi, though moist, can freeze and thaw without issue. Their texture is already somewhat clumpy or (what I call) squeaky, so freezing and thawing just makes this texture slightly more obvious. Ive found that anything shredded performs very well in the freezer. I never hesitate to toss a bag of shredded cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella into the freezer. Blocks of low moisture mozzarella also fare well in the freezer.How to freeze cheeseFreeze cheese the same way you'd freeze meat, bread, or anything else you'd want to resist freezer burnwrapped in air-tight plastic. If your cheese is brand new, it might already come securely wrapped in plastic, like bags of shredded cheese. These can be popped straight into the freezer. I like to freeze them flat, which makes stacking and retrieval easier. If your cheese is in flimsy plastic or you opened it already, put it all in a freezer-safe plastic zip-top bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before putting it in the freezer. Sometimes it helps to cut up your bricks of cheese first if you tend to use them in a particular shape. I usually eat bricks of sharp cheddar on crackers, so I'll slice up the cheese into snackable pieces first, then secure them in the bag for freezing. This way I can pull out what I need when I'm ready to thaw them. Pre-shredding or pre-cubing cheeses works well too. Credit: Allie Chanthorn Reinmann How to thaw frozen cheeseTo thaw, simply leave the cheese in the fridge overnight, and itll be usable for slicing, shredding, melting, or snacking the next day. Use shredded cheeses straight out of the freezer and sprinkle them into dishes; those fine pieces have no problem thawing and melting into hot foods within seconds. Enjoy the extended lifetime of your cheeses. As for your soft, spreadable cheeses, you now have an excuse to finish them off before they get weird in the fridge.
