However, he did not follow-up with any other details regarding the much anticipated OPPO flagship smartphone after that. — Brian Shen (@BrianShenYiRen) January 3, 2020 Interestingly enough, the vice president instead took to his Weibo account where he revealed that the Find X2 might not feature the company’s under-display selfie camera technology.

This is in quite stark contrast with the game that was released earlier this year, Pokemon Legends: Arceus. While it had its own technical issues, they were extremely minor in comparison, while the entire package would come to be known by some as the greatest entry in the entire franchise to date. Its initial announcement early last year came as a surprise to many but in comparison, few questioned its release date, which is early in the same year as The Pokemon Company is expected to launch the franchise into a new generation....

Poopdie is developed by Bulbware, and seems to have been announced in early 2018. It features a worm that creates minions out of its own bodily waste, that helps it fight against enemies and destroy obstacles. That alone should explain why Apple thinks it’s too crude for its Apple Store. Oddly enough, Poopdie is listed as for ages 12 and up. While it does have the cartoony art style, all the references to bottoms, farts and excrement makes Apple’s decision kind of obvious....

The programmer in question goes by the name of Foone Turing (@Foone) and just so we’re absolutely clear, Foone’s attempts were not without its own set of trials and tribulations. In an effort to also be fair, Foone had pretty much gutted the entire pregnancy kit before ultimately getting the test kit to properly run Doom. Foone’s project kicked off with simple goals, such as getting the test kit to play Rick Astley videos and a clip from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim....

As some may recall, this isn’t the first time Meta has shifted the login policy for its headsets. Prior to this, the company discontinued the original Oculus accounts in 2020, requiring users to log in to their Quest VR devices with a Facebook account instead. The move proved to be unpopular, with existing headset owners – those with and without an existing Facebook account – raising privacy concerns due to the tech giant’s well-known (but infamous) track record on the subject....

These days though, fans of the game generally face one dilemma. On one hand, there’s the ever strong yearning to experience the game all over again. But on the other, most of us are unable to delegate the kind of time which an MMO demands. To fill this gap, it’s not uncommon for folks to turn to mobile games. This allows us to take games to wherever we go, rather than having to be planted in front of a PC....
