A Marvel Rivals fan has created a stunning 3D print of one of the game's most popular characters, Invisible Woman, but the attention to detail given her powers is quite ironic. Invisible Woman joined the expansive Marvel Rivals roster at the start of Season 1 as a Strategist character. Invisible Woman's playstyle revolves around her healing and damaging enemies simultaneously, creating healing shields, and popping her ultimate Invisible Boundary to turn whole teams invisible. This 3D print, though, is anything but hidden. View the full article
For a short ******* of time on Friday, Darth Vader could drop F-bombs in the video game Fortnite as part of a voice AI implementation gone wrong, reports GameSpot. Epic Games rapidly deployed a hotfix after players encountered the Sith Lord responding to their comments with profanity and strong language. In Fortnite, the AI-voiced Vader appears as both a boss in battle royale mode and an interactive character. The official Star Wars website encourages players to "ask him all your pressing questions about the Force, the Galactic Empire… or you know, a good strat for the last Storm circle," adding that "the Sith Lord has opinions." The F-bomb incident involved a Twitch streamer named Loserfruit, who triggered the forceful response when discussing food with the virtual Vader. The Dark Lord of the Sith responded by repeating her words "freaking" and "********" before adding, "Such vulgarity does not become you, Padme." The exchange spread virally across social media platforms on Friday. Read full article Comments View the full article

The Elderwood expansion in Palia has introduced a new set of quests for the players to complete, and the Parental Dispute mission can be tricky to solve. For starters, the mission triggers in a completely random fashion. Hence, you should look to complete the main quests part of the Elderwood expansion if you're looking to complete Parental Dispute. This guide will provide you with all the details about the quest and how to complete it. Palia Parental Dispute quest walkthrough If you're lucky, the Parental Dispute quest will trigger automatically once you clear the first few quests that are exclusive to the Elderwood expansion. If you're new to the game, it will take you a fair bit of time to unlock the contents of the new expansion. Screenshot via Singularity 6 The quest begins when you interact with Einar, who will inform you that he is upset with Hekla for a difference of opinion. The bone of contention is how the two want to raise the offspring of his companion, and you'll be tasked with catching a fish. Screenshot via Singularity 6 Before you can catch the fish, you'll have to go and speak with Hekla, who will explain you why Einar is wrong. After listening to Hekla, get back to Einar at the Fisherman's Lagoon. He will then tell you more about how he would want to raise the child, and ask for your suggestions. Your fish choices will be determined by the skills you picked while conversing with Einar. Get an Angelfish if you picked Emotional Intelligence (Blue Water symbol).Get a Devilfish if you picked Sports (Brown Earth symbol).Get a Midnight Floatfish if you picked The Fandango (Yellow Air symbol).Get an Eleroo Eel if you picked Survival Skills (Green Earth symbol). All four fish can be found in the Elderwood region, but you'll want to use advantageous setups while fishing for them.

I've always thought of Fortnite as such an impressive achievement, especially when it comes to live events, brand collabs, and delivering on the "metaverse" idea. But the game's latest chapter is a mess. In case you missed it, Darth Vader has joined Fortnite's Star Wars-themed season today as a boss on the battle royale map. He can be recruited to join your team, which is cool—but then things get really, really weird and kind of uncomfortable. Screenshot by Destructoid This version of Darth Vader uses "conversational AI" and will talk to the player, responding to prompts via voice chat, and it's all using the voice likeness of the legendary James Earl Jones, with permission from his family. "James Earl felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars, and he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it," Jones' family said in a statement. "We hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allow both longtime fans of Darth Vader and newer generations to share in the enjoyment of this iconic character." I respect the family's wishes and, while part of me can see how cool it is to have him live on in this form, it's also disturbing and a bit dystopian. The actor is no longer with us, but his voice is used to discuss Fortnite happenings ("the Sith Lord has opinions," says Epic Games). And of course, it didn't take players long to abuse and try to break the new toy by trying to get it to say inappropriate things. One video that quickly made the rounds not long after AI Vader went live showed him cursing atstreamer Loserfruit. Fortnite said it "pushed a hotfix immediately and this shouldn't happen again," but rest assured, players will spend the following days trying their best to make the Sith Lord say all kinds of things. Another video making the rounds this afternoon shows a group of young-sounding gamers squeaking with glee as they somehow get Vader to say the F slur, which was likely the goal all along. And this is why we can't have "nice things," gamers. Another gamer asked Darth Vader what his thoughts were on Pride Month, and Vader responded by calling it a "fleeting celebration of identity," and told the player to "continue to cling to your delusions." As is usually the case, talking to Darth Vader sounds cool, but in practice, it's always going to be taken advantage of and made more uncomfortable than anything. And I can't shake the uneasy feeling of having a deceased actor talk to me, as the advancements in AI (like Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model and ElevenLabs’ Flash v2.5 model, which power AI Vader) are blurring the lines more and more each day. [Hidden Content] There are safeguards, thankfully. Epic says that "players under 13 or their country’s age of digital consent, whichever is higher, will need permission to talk with Darth Vader," and that "player voice audio and transcriptions" are not stored. It also says it's not using any player interactions to train AI models, which is nice. Look, I get it. At its core, the idea of having a child playing Fortnite be able to talk to Darth Vader and experience something that exciting and surreal is cool. But it's never going to end at just that. And although AI is powerful and getting stronger each day, it's still unstable and will lead to issues like the ones above. I wonder what the offices of Disney and Lucasfilm are like today as they see the clips of the iconic character and late actor dropping F-bombs online. But without even getting into the legal or ethical repercussions, the whole thing just does not sit right with me, and it feels like a genuinely terrible idea.

At some level, you expect FPS games to be fast and fluid. Doom The Dark Ages is the best and most recent example, but you can look as far back as the original Doom, the first Half-Life, and the first Quake, and see that the history of shooters is rooted in running and gunning. Rainbow Six, when it was originally released back in 1998, felt like something profoundly different. Slow, methodical, and punishing, in the classic Rainbow Six games, every enemy can kill you, and every closed door and corridor feels like a boss fight. From one of its creators, whose credits also include the first Ghost Recon, Ground Branch is a deeply realistic tactical shooter, and it's just been overhauled and expanded.
