Velan Studios' Midnight Murder Club is now in early access on PC and PS5.. And as part of the pitch to gamers, only one player has to actually has to actually own Midnight Murder Club in order to invite up to five others playing via the game's Guest Pass Edition. Unlike some other PvP shooters, Midnight Murder Club drops 1-6 players into a large estate called Wormwood Manor without the benefit of lights. Players will have to rely on their own flashlights, proximity chat, or the flash of gunfire to come out on top. That leads to a very lethal game of hide-and-seek.Velan Studios recently unveiled Midnight Murder Club's Wildcards mode, which gives players the ability to rewrite reality thanks to some special cards. When players pick cards from their collection, they can be given special abilities like super speed or the power to self-detonate upon death. Some of those powers will extend to the other players in the match as well. At the end of each round, players are given new cards to experiment with, and they won't necessarily get the same powers again.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Though Metaphor: ReFantazio's cast of characters are built on the premise of diversity, there is much in common between them. The tribal conflict in the United Kingdom of Euchronia has, in one way or another, shaped their lives, and as the protagonist learns more of their origins, it is clear that the difficulties of Metaphor's world are not lost on any of them. They are both similar and different, a theme that goes hand-in-hand with Metaphor's political premise and the motif of building bridges. This is seen most aptly through Heismay, whose years eclipse the rest of the team; he starts off defeated through his grief but ultimately strives to live on and make a difference in the hope of a better future.

WHOOP 4.0 with 12 Month Subscription Wearable Health, Fitness & Activity Tracker $239.00 at Amazon Get Deal Get Deal $239.00 at Amazon What is VO2 max again?VO2 max is a measure of cardiovascular (or aerobic) fitness. There are other types of measurements that can give you a sense of how fit you are, but VO2 max is one of the simpler metrics to follow. Its a two-digit number, and the higher it is, the fitter you are. A sedentary person might have a VO2 max around 20; an athlete might have one over 50.The technical definition is that its the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use per minute while exercising, divided by your body weight. The higher that number, the better your heart and lungs are at getting oxygen to your muscles, and the better your muscles are at using energy for exercise.How is VO2 max measured?To get a true VO2 max reading, you need to take a test in an exercise lab with a max that measures the amount of oxygen youre breathing. Obviously, a wearable cant provide that on its own. But wearables like Whoop, Garmin watches, and Apple Watches can estimate your cardio fitness through other means.Most commonly, theyll compare your heart rate to how quickly you can run or walk. If you can jog along at a pretty fast clip while your heart rate is low, youre probably pretty fit and have a high VO2 max. On the other hand, if your heart rate soars when youre just trying to go out for an easy walk, you probably have low cardio fitness and thus a low VO2 max. Thats the general idea, anywaythe exact calculation will vary from one device to another.How Whoop uses VO2 maxI expected Whoop to use the same walking/running-based type of calculation as the other wearables Im familiar with, but the companys description makes it sound like something more complicated (and harder to verify) is going on.Whoop estimates your VO2 Max using a proprietary algorithm trained on gold-standard laboratory data from a diverse set of Whoop members, it says. Thats not very helpful. It continues: To calculate your score, the algorithm factors your continuous physiological data (including resting heart rate and heart rate variability), your exercise patterns, and GPS-tracked performance metrics (when enabled). It also accounts for how VO2 Max naturally changes with age and incorporates physical factors that influence oxygen utilization, like height, weight, and biological sex.So GPS-tracked activities can be included in the calculation, but apparently arent necessary. This makes me wonder what the Whoop band is actually measuring to determine your VO2 maxor is it just doing some kind of AI-powered guess at what people with your metrics tend to have as their VO2 max? Ive reached out to the company and will update if it is able to give me more information.I dont have a VO2 max in my Whoop app at the moment, since it requires 14 recoveries (nights of sleep, basically) to give you that information, and I havent been wearing my Whoop lately.Where to find your VO2 max in the Whoop appAccording to Whoop support, you can find this feature on the Strain tab. By tapping VO2 max you can view monthly or six-month trends. Users on Reddit have reported that its been rolling out over the past few days, and that Whoop has told them everybody should have it by March 13 (today).

Chromecast as a brand has been going through it. Second-gen Chromecast and Chromecast Audio have been plagued with a strange glitch that essentially leaves these devices unusable. Users are not happy. Google, for their part, has advised not to factory reset the devices as a workaround, saying that the company is working on an official fix. In the meantime, Google rolled out an unrelated update for Chromecast with Google TV. The company no longer sells this device, but even still, issued a long-awaited Android 14 update for Chromecast with Google TV. The release notes say, with this update, The Google TV Streamer Voice Remote supports Find My Remote and Customizable Button, which should be welcome additions to users of this remote. In addition, Chromecast with Google TV users now have security patch updates up through January of this year, as well as various system stability and improvements. On the surface, this update appears minor, but genuinely useful, so it'd only make sense to install it right away. However, Google might have been a bit overconfident with its claim of "stability and improvements" here. Chromecast with Google TV users are complaining that this update is breaking critical features on their devices. On the 9to5Google news post about this update, one commenter says this update broke their local media implementation, saying the device was utilizing too little power, even though their setup should provide plenty of input and worked with Android 12 without issue. Other users say it broke their USB drive detection: No matter what they do, their drives are identified as "safely ejected," but won't be read. One user explicitly says they'll avoid this update, because of the other commenters' experiences.A post about the update on r/AndroidTV reveals other complaints, as well. Some users' devices crash when scrolling through the "Display and Sound" settings. Another user can't cast on from Chrome on their desktop machine following the update.It's a tricky situation for Chromecast with Google TV users: On the one hand, they now have access to an extra couple months of security updates, which is always important to install when available. On the other, however, the update breaks key features you might frequently use your Chromecast with Google TV device for, including casting, USB drives, and running media locally. The update is still quite new, so there might even be more bugs yet to be discovered. If you have to updateAs it stands, you might be better off waiting to install this update until Google can address these issues. If you feel you should update, or you're reading this at a time when Google has issued a new update, you'll find the option from Settings > System > About > System.
