[ad_1] The core gameplay style appears to be similar to X-Com and other tactical titles, but there are a few twists. It’s a class-based game where special characters (like Murphy for the DEA or El Mexicano/Gacha for the Cartel) have unique abilities and bonuses.

Next-gen hearing implants could overcome inner ear damage
[ad_1] Scientists have succeeded in testing the implant on mice, but there’s still a long way to go. The team just recently created a human-sized version that would be suitable for surgery, and it’ll have to go through more studies before human trials begin. Provided everything goes smoothly, though, it might restore hearing in situations […]
Bungie pulls popular gun from ‘Destiny 2’ after discovering exploit
[ad_1] It’s not certain when Telesto will be back, but it won’t be surprising if there’s a fix soon (possibly around the game’s usual Tuesday reset).

Nintendo’s ‘Ring Fit Adventure’ hides grown-up workouts in a kids’ game

Skydio’s station lets self-flying drones work around the clock
[ad_1] The Dock is small enough to fit inside a carry-on suitcase, and should be ready to go in “minutes,” according to Skydio. That, in turn, could make it ideal for field deployments — think search-and-rescue operations after natural disasters, or security patrols that need to run all night. You’d need multiple drones for non-stop […]

[ad_1] There are some under-the-hood convenience upgrades as well. A faster processor can process Assistant requests sooner.
