Hyper Light Breaker is a hoverboard sim. Technically, it’s a third-person roguelite adventure set in a luminous fantasy-cyberpunk universe, but after playing a 30-minute preview, it’s clear to me that Hyper Light Breaker is all about the hoverboard. Vicious beasts, secret alcoves and shiny weapons are secondary to the feeling of gliding over green hills and shallow waters on my glowing blue slab, finding joy in narrowly avoiding enemy encounters.Intentionally skipping battles was probably the opposite of what lead animator Chris Bullock wanted me to do during the first public hands-on opportunity with Hyper Light Breaker — but if that…

At the risk of sounding like a superfan (guilty), this Marvel nerd has faithfully watched everything that has led up to this moment, hoping for an eventual Daredevil return. …

Trying to find the true meaning of the phrase smart casual can quickly turn into a nightmare. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as “neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress codeâ€. But these days it’s quite common for smart casual to be the dress code. So you go online to search for smart casual style guides that variously counsel everything from shorts, which don’t strike us as especially smart, to Ascot ties, which don’t come over as particularly casual. And as the latter indicates, many of these guides feel like they…
As someone whose wardrobe is comprised almost solely of capsule wardrobe staples, when I stumbled upon Marks & Spencer’s new single breasted blazer I couldn’t keep it to myself. A lightweight yet smart style, the blazer features a singular button closure, two side pockets and a neat but relaxed silhouette. Available in grey, black and beige, the perfectly-cut blazer is an ideal lightweight layer for early spring through to late autumn styling—layering well over a knit, but looking equally chic when styled with a tee.Destined to sell out soon, I’ve taken it upon myself to craft three spring-ready outfit that…

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Despite not making it to the moon, NASA and others flying payloads on Astrobotic’s Peregrine lunar lander say they still got useful data from the mission. Peregrine launched Jan. 8 on the first flight of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur. The spacecraft, though, suffered a propellant leak hours after launch that ruled out any chance of attempting a lunar landing. The spacecraft instead reentered a week and a half after launch. Although Peregrine did not reach the moon, many of the payloads on board were tested during the flight. “In transit, we were going to keep…
A miniature chair and table 3D printed from waste woodThakur et al., Sci. Adv. 10, eadk3250 (2024) Recycled wood can be turned into an ink for 3D printing, which could offer a more sustainable way to manufacture furniture or even build houses. “Wood has been used for building and structural purposes for centuries,†says Muhammad Rahman at Rice University in Texas.
