Michał Kiciński, the co-founder of the Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Mudita Pure, a minimalist mobile phone that “aims to improve your wellbeing.”

How exactly does Kiciński’s minimalist phone improve your wellbeing? By ditching bright screens and the glut of features that most phones either come with or that we download for ourselves, like Twitter. Instead, the Pure phone has an E ink display that doesn’t strain the eyes and has no colorful logos vying for your attention, a global GSM module that allows you to make calls almost anywhere in the world, a battery life that lasts five days with normal use or 14 days on standby, and a SIM card slot that’ll hold two cards at once so you can switch it out if you’re traveling. There’s also a custom Mudita OS, a speaker and music player for said speaker or headphone jack.

Here’s How Batwoman Will Deal With Batman’s Legacy

This September, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today we’re sending up the Bat-Signal for The CW’s newest superhero series, Batwoman. Three years after the mysterious disappearance of Batman, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs, leading to the rise of Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate Kane has no interest in being a hero, but when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy), with whom Kate has a complicated history, Kate will have to become what her father loathes, a dark knight vigilante, soaring through the streets of Gotham as Batwoman. We spoke to showrunner Caroline Dries about bringing Batwoman to the small screen and helping Kate step out of her famous cousin’s shadow.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Box Art Revealed

PlayStation and Square Enix have revealed the North American and Euopean box art for Final Fantasy VII Remake alongside some brand new screenshots that show off Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Ifrit, Shiva, and the Equipment & Materia menu screen.

Senior product marketing manager of Square Enix Neal Pabon took to the PlayStation Blog to unveil the box art for the long-awaited remake of 1997’s Final Fantasy VII.

The artwork is fittingly an homage to the North American box art for the original PlayStation title and features Cloud Strife ready to take on the Shinra Corporation with his iconic Buster Sword that also features two Materia slotted into the base of it.

20,000 Fallout 76 Power Armor Helmets Recalled For Mold Exposure

Concerns have been raised that a wearable helmet included with special copies of Fallout 76 is a breeding ground for mold bacteria, resulting in the recall of over 20,000 units.

As reported by DualShockers, the collectable model of Fallout’s T-51B helmet that came packaged with the $200 Power Armor edition is being recalled by The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. It warns the polyester and cotton fabric inserts inside the helmet provide a safe haven for bacteria to grow.

The recall listing reads, “Mold can be present on the fabric insert inside the helmet, posing a risk of respiratory or other infections in individuals with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs or an allergy to mold.”

Destiny 2: How To Get Ready For Shadowkeep

Trash Every Item That Turns Into Bright Dust

If there is any single thing everyone should do before the release of Shadowkeep, it’s to dismantle all of your items that turn into Bright Dust.

Bungie revealed earlier this year that it’s dramatically reworking Bright Dust, a special in-game currency used to purchase certain items. (This is separate from Silver, the premium currency that can only be purchased with real-world money.) Previously, it was obtained almost exclusively by dismantling items obtained through the Eververse store; now you’ll earn it by playing. Additionally, you’ll no longer use it to reacquire cosmetic items you’ve previously unlocked, like ships, shaders, and so on. But as a result, items that previously would dismantle into Bright Dust will no longer do so once Shadowkeep releases. Instead, you’ll only get glimmer and Legendary Shards.

In effect, what this means is you have a window of opportunity to stockpile Bright Dust by breaking down every last item you own that dismantles into Bright Dust. This will allow you to build up a stockpile of Bright Dust and then, once Shadowkeep releases, reacquire anything you might want back at the much more modest cost of glimmer and Legendary Shards.

But how to actually go about this process? You can certainly go through your inventory and vault manually to try dismantling things to see what nets you Bright Dust–basically, you’re looking for special ships and ghost shells, Eververse shaders, and Eververse armor. Alternatively, you can consult this list of Eververse shaders, courtesy of Reddit, or use the Destiny Item Manager tool. If you go the latter route, you can run a search for “source:eververse” to find all of your possessions worth breaking down. And don’t forget, shaders can be broken down more quickly by visiting Master Rahool, the cryptarch at the Tower.

The only things you may want to consider keeping are any Eververse armor with rolls you’re particularly fond of (though, bear in mind, Armor 2.0 is coming) and ghost shells or sparrows with ideal rolls (but you’ll soon be able to reacquire these as many times as needed with glimmer/Legendary Shards to get the same perks).

Indiana Jones 5 Update: “We’re Still Trying,” Writer Says

A fifth Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford and directed by Steven Spielberg is on the way, but little has been heard about it for some time. From the sound of it, the movie appears to still be in the early stages. And now, writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible) has shared more insight on how it’s coming along.

Koepp told Den of Geek that he’s back on Indiana Jones 5, but what he had to say does not exactly inspire total confidence about the film. “I’m working on it again. We’re still trying. And I think we’ve got a good idea this time. We’ll see,” he said.

Koepp was originally attached to write Indiana Jones 5, before Solo: A Star Wars Story writer Jonathan Kasdan later came on to contribute. The movie was delayed to 2021 due to “story problems,” according to Collider, and now Koepp has returned to apparently help get the story right.

Spielberg, who directed all the previous Indiana Jones movies, is coming back to direct, with Ford returning as well to play the the iconic archaeologist. Indy’s son Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf in 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will not return in the new movie.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull might not have enjoyed the best reviews, but it grossed more than $786 million worldwide to stand as the most successful Indiana Jones movie ever. Altogether, the series has brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office across all four releases.

Fortnite Is Adding Bots, Here’s What That Means

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

The popular battle royale game Fortnite is introducing bots. In the game’s next seasonal refresh, Epic Games will introduce bots with the aim of helping newcomers learn the ropes.

The bots will behave similarly to humans, Epic said in a blog post. These bots will populate matches in all playlists except Competitive. Over time, the game will recognize when a player’s skill improves, and in turn, the number of bots in your match will decrease. Currently, Fortnite matches are populated 100 percent by other humans, so this is one of Fortnite’s biggest changes ever.

Epic says the new bots system will evolve over time as the studio iterates and updates the feature, though no specific plans were divulged.

The bots will operate alongside the new matchmaking system that Epic is rolling out in the upcoming 10.40 update. Due to the fact that the “range of player skill has grown considerably” since release, Epic is making changes to the “matchmaking logic” for Fortnite’s core modes to help match players of similar skill together.

“You will be more likely to match with players of similar skill, and as you get better, so should your opponents,” Epic said in a blog post explaining the changes. “We will slowly roll this out to all regions across Battle Royale core modes as we test and monitor how it performs. We’re excited to get this out for everyone to play with and will continue to update the system.”

Fortnite is currently in the midst of a Batman-themed event to celebrate the character’s 80th anniversary. For more on that, check out GameSpot’s guide to all the Fortnite Bat Signal locations.
