  • Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree gets Nebula Awards nom
    www.polygon.com
    The Nebula Awards, a long-running honor for excellence in science fiction and fantasy writing, has included video game writing since 2018. It previously bestowed its top prize in game writing to Elden Ring in 2023. FromSoftwares Hidetaka Miyazaki has now received the honor of a nomination once again this year, this time for Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree.Although Shadow of the Erdtree might be one of the more recognizable names on the list, its perhaps more impressive and just plain cool to see indie darling 1000xResist getting a nomination (especially given its snub at The Game Awards 2024), as well as Pacific Drive, which was nominated for Best Debut Indie Game at TGAs but did not take home that prize. All three games made Polygons own Top 50 Games of the Year list last year.Heres the full list of the Nebula Awards video game writing nominees:A Death in HyperspacebyStewart C Baker,Phoebe Barton,James Beamon,Kate Heartfield,Isabel J.

  • The Function of Ornament Takes Shape in Vessels by Devin Wilde
    design-milk.com
    Artistic creativity, to some degree, has historically been linked to affliction by way of the starving artist or tortured poet trope think an anguished van Gogh, an erratic Beethoven, or the volatile Caravaggio where the final expression represents release, relief, and sacrifice. Though struggle is not technically a precursor to creative practice, catharsis through making remains the professions favorite remedy in response to it. But not all are so morose. Modern artists, like Brooklyn-based ceramicist Devin Wilde, more often frame creation as a line of inquiry, an homage to history, or an act of self love.Vessel No. II in Copper PatinaI find working with clay to be therapeutic; good for the soul, Wilde shares from a modest corner studio, where smoke rises from smoldering incense in a sunlit dance to Etta James. Its inherently imperfect, also kind and forgiving. It helps me work through perfectionist tendencies that are unkind to myself more than other mediums Ive explored, he continues. Its simply how I want to spend my day.Vessel No. VII in Aged BronzeNow a fully fledged entity, Wildes creative career has meandered from architectural study at Stanford University through entrepreneurship in digital and user experience design before fully returning to tangible studio practice with wood and clay. His rsum boasts residencies at the Penland School of Craft and Anderson Ranch Arts Center where he worked in the latter, more malleable medium. Those practical experiences inspired the 2023 founding of his formal ceramics studio in Red Hook, not far from the rich New York neighborhoods that now inspire some of his monumental, meaning-laden pieces.Vessel No. III in Aged BrassFluting and scroll-like forms supporting classical friezes. Linework, chevrons, and shapes found in Art Deco facades. Gothic churches with reinforced structures and volumetric proportions. Wildes imagination travels through time plucking elements from different architectural periods only to temper them later according to postmodern tenets. But dont let the perception of ornamentation or whimsy fool you. The placement of functional and decorative features on each object within the broader collection are of consequence.Vessel No. II in Aged BronzeSimple silhouettes conical, cylindrical, and spherical containers are first hand-built using a mixture of clay with an aggregate called grog. This helps support structure, articulate texture, preserve linework, promote even drying, and reduce shrinkage during the firing process. Rather than incised, production of the exterior adornments follows the form making and are attached once everything is leather-hard, a stage where clay is still workable but will hold its form.Vessel No. V in IvoryI know Ive got it just right when a piece is done and drying and the surface quality is this truly boring monochromatic grey and the form still excites me, Wilde adds.Vessel No. IV in ChromeHis signature gesture comprises exaggerated ribbing in high relief often accentuated by circular discs, coiled feet, or full round ball finials at their terminus much like serifs on letterforms that create a habitual groove as one reads the surface. Trimmings are placed in a balanced and symmetrical arrangement to be dramatically augmented by light-catching metal oxide glazes in patinated copper, aged bronze, or rust-covered iron, which confers importance and elevates the objects status to venerable.Vessel No. VIII in IvoryAll the forms that Im coming up with are intended to exist with a duality of ancient and modern aesthetics, and the glazes that Im using are meant to reinforce that. Theyre meant to evoke an ancient quality to my work, like a metal artifact that was just pulled out from the sea, Wilde says.Vessel No. VI in BronzeArtist Devin WildeTo see this and other selected works from the artist, visit devinwilde.com.

  • Why Microsoft Is Phasing Out Their Remote Desktop App (and What to Use Instead)
    lifehacker.com
    Microsoft has announced that it's pulling the old Microsoft Remote Desktop tool that you could get in the Microsoft Store. The company is advising users to move over to the shiny new Windows App instead, which takes care of a lot of the same functionsincluding connecting to PCs remotely, and accessing Windows 365 computers in the cloud.The Windows App provides several improvements over Microsoft Remote Desktop, Microsoft says, such as multi-monitor support, dynamic display resolutions, customizable home screens, and a more unified interface. It's designed so you can access the same Windows machines remotely across multiple devices.If you're a user of Microsoft Remote Desktop, you need to move over by Tuesday, May 27. However, it's not quite as easy as one app fully and completely replacing anotherMicrosoft has other similar tools available as well, and there are currently some caveats to using the Windows App.What is and isn't changingMicrosoft is retiring a single, specific utility here: Microsoft Remote Desktop in the Microsoft Store. The Windows App is essentially its new and modern replacement. However, while the Windows App does cover most of what Microsoft Remote Desktop did, it doesn't cover everything on every platform.What isn't going away is the Remote Desktop Connection feature that's included in Windows: You can still use this as normal. You can also still download and use the more advanced Remote Desktop client for Windows tool, which is aimed at IT administrators and professionals, and comes with features suitable for organizations. The Microsoft Remote Desktop app is being retired. Credit: Microsoft Confused yet? While the Windows App for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android does allow remote desktop connections at the time of writing, the Windows App for Windows doesn't. For Windows-to-Windows connections, Microsoft recommends using built-in Remote Desktop Connection, "until support for this connection type is available in Windows App"though it doesn't say when that support is going to roll out.The Windows App is a good idea, in theory, but it's still a work in progress: Microsoft even has an official known issues and limitations page that you should check if you're moving over from the Microsoft Remote Desktop program (the one that's being retired). It also requires a work or school Microsoft account, so it's not something individual users can access (at least not for now).How to set up remote connectionsYou can check out our full guide to the Windows App for more details on what this software package is and what it can do, but if you're moving over from Microsoft Remote Desktop, then you're likely to be most interested in setting up remote PC connections. You can do this by clicking the + (plus) button in the top-right corner of the Devices tab, then choosing Add PC from the list.You then need to provide a host name or IP address for the computer you're connecting to, as well as setting up the rest of the connection configurationincluding how the remote PC is displayed on screen, and which folders are shared with the local PC. When all that's done, click Add to put the computer on your Devices screen, then double-click its thumbnails to establish the connection. The new Windows App, on Windows. Credit: Lifehacker There's plenty more to the Windows App as well, including the ability to stream Windows machines running on the Windows 365 platform in the cloud. This is a feature that's aimed at business and organization use, though, and to date Microsoft hasn't said anything about letting ordinary consumers run Windows from the cloud.If you're connecting to a Windows PC from a Windows PC, then you need to use the old-school method, which is Remote Desktop Connection. First, you need to set up the computer you want to connect to, which must be running a Pro version of Windows. From Settings, choose System and Remote Desktop, then turn on the feature and make a note of the PC name displayed on screen. The old Remote Desktop Connection tool lives on. Credit: Lifehacker Over on the computer you're connecting from, type "remote desktop connection" into the search box on the taskbar, then choose the Remote Desktop Connection app when it appears. You'll be prompted for the PC name that was displayed on the other machine, and then the connection is established.It's all a bit patchy, with multiple tools offering slightly different feature sets and at different stages in their development, but the Windows App is clearly going to be the futureeventually. If you find Microsoft's approach to remote desktop access too confusing, there are plenty of third-party options around as wellincluding TeamViewer and Chrome Remote Desktop.

  • 'Redact' Can Delete Your Posts From 28 Different Social Networks
    lifehacker.com
    From security and privacy concerns to good old-fashioned cringe, there are all kinds of reasons you might want to delete your old social media posts. And there are plenty of tools for the job out there. The problem: most tend to focus on one or two social media networks. Redact, however, is a paid tool with support for deleting posts on 28 different services.You can use it to scan for old posts and choose what to delete, or you can search for posts that mention specific topics. It can also be used to delete posts on a schedulethis is perfect if, for example, you wanted to delete all Bluesky posts a month after you post them. It's a lot of power, basically, and it runs locally on your computer, meaning you're in control.The services supported are broad, including retro social networks you haven't thought about in ages alongside common work tools. The complete list of supported networks is Bluesky, Bumble, Deviantart, Discord, Disqus, Facebook, Flickr, Github, Gyazo, email (anything that supports IMAP), Imgur, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Medium, MyAnimeList, Pinterest, Quora, Reddit, Skype, Slack, Stack Exchange, Steam, Telegram, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo, Wordpress, and Yelp. That's a broad cross-section of the social web, ranging from dating apps to business tools.How to use Redact To get started, you'll need to download the application and create an account. After that you can start signing into the services you want to delete posts from, then choose which posts you want to delete. If you use Chrome, there's support for grabbing all the sites you're currently logged into from there.Unless you pay for a subscription you will quickly notice all kinds of limitationsthe free plan only supports Facebook, Twitter, Discord, and Reddit, and even for those networks there are limits on how far back you can scan for messages and how many message you can delete. The free version is really only useful for getting a feel for the service.You will need a paid plan for most featuresplans start at $7.99 per month, which works out to $95.88 per year (there is no annual discount). That adds up for ongoing use, granted, though if you're just emptying out old posts from a bunch of accounts you might only need to pay for a single month. The Ultimate plan is necessary if you want to delete files from "work" accounts including Slack, Github, and Stack Exchangethat plan starts at $14.99 per month, which works out to $179.88 per year. Credit: Justin Pot The process works the same for most social media networks and service: You sign into your account and can then start scanning for and deleting posts. There are four main modes: Preview, which lets you scan for posts and browse them; Deletion, which deletes everything without asking any questions; Select & Delete, which lets you check off the posts you want to delete before proceeding; and Schedule Deletion, which lets you automatically delete posts on an ongoing basis. Note that, for scheduled deletion to work, you will need to leave the application installed and running on your device. Credit: Justin Pot It's worth noting that every application supported has an Easy and an Advanced form. How this works depends on which social network you're using. Reddit's advanced form, for example, lets you filter posts by subreddit, the kind of post, keywords, the NSFW tag, and more. You can even opt to not delete posts that have a certain amount of karma. There are similar advanced rules for every network, meaning you can really take control of what you want to delete.There are numerous options to explore here, all tailored to the specific social network you're trying to clear out. The user interface explains what everything does and, when there are limitations, what those limitations are. If you're looking for a way to wipe your posts from a bunch of different social networks, all with one tool, Redact is worth trying out.

  • Ted Lasso is returning to Apple TV+ for a fourth season
    www.engadget.com
    Warning: spoilers for season three of Ted Lasso are ahead.It turns out that all Ted Lasso fans had to do was believe. After many months of rumors and uncertainty, the hit show is coming back to Apple TV+ for a fourth season.Star, co-creator and executive producer Jason Sudeikis is returning as the eponymous college football coach who was hired to take charge of a soccer team in England. He told the Kelce brothers on their New Heights podcast that the writing team is working on the next season and that, this time around, Ted will be coaching a women's team. That seems like a nice way to hit the reset button after the so-so third season (don't @ me).Ted Lasso is BACK for Season 4 and hes got a new team New episode with Jason Sudeikis!! Video drops 9:30amET on YouTubeListen early NOW on Wondery+ pic.twitter.com/XxeZ4YomBw New Heights (@newheightshow) March 14, 2025 Apple hasn't revealed more details about the new season of the Emmy juggernaut yet. No other cast members have been announced, but it was reported some months back that production company Warner Bros. Television has picked up contract options for co-stars Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins). Apple did confirm that Goldstein is returning as a writer and executive producer. Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) is back as an executive producer too.Ted left his team, AFC Richmond, at the end of season three, to return home to the US for family reasons. But given that a women's team was proposed in the season finale and Sudeikis saying Ted will coach such a squad, it certainly seems like he's returning to work alongside his old cohorts."As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to look before we leap,' in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look, discovering that wherever they land, its exactly where theyre meant to be," Sudeikis said.It's not clear as yet when Ted Lasso will return. However, given that the show's writers are currently putting together the fourth season, it's unlikely that you'll be able to watch new episodes until at least the tail end of this year.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/ted-lasso-is-returning-to-apple-tv-for-a-fourth-season-153152897.html?src=rss
