Resurrection, an astounding Chinese sci-fi movie, is streaming now

But you’ll have to bear with me — and the film. This is a two-and-half-hour episodic art movie about dreams, consciousness, and the history of cinema. It frequently makes no sense and it’s pretentious as hell. It has elements of science fiction, horror, and fantasy weaving in and out of its very loosely related five episodes. But Resurrection ’s real genre is Surreal Art Movie with Amazing Visuals and Some Plot, Maybe. source https://www.polygon.com/resurrection-sci-fi-movie-streaming/

Crunchyroll's data breach is 'limited to customer service ticket data,' representatives say

On March 23, reports emerged online about a significant data breach affecting Crunchyroll, the leading anime streaming platform. The information was first shared by International Cyber Digest on X and by BleepingComputer .

The threat actors claimed to have used malware to infect the agent's computer and gain access to their credentials.

Crimson Desert's AI art was 'unintentional,' developer says

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss has admitted that the hit open-world game contains undisclosed art created by generative AI, after fans spotted strangely warped figures in paintings within the game.

Fez 2 was never meant to be, but we didn't need it anyway

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the experience of playing Fez for the first time. It was 2012 and I was still fairly fresh out of college, having moved to New York City in 2011. Since I didn’t have much disposable income at the time, it was the rare period of my life where I was completely out of touch with gaming for a few years. I didn’t own a modern console or a handheld. Thankfully, one of my roommates had an Xbox 360, which gave me a chance to keep up with blockbusters like Borderlands 2 and Assassin’s Creed 3 . One day, he called me into the living room to check out a weird little game called Fez he’d found on Xbox Live Arcade. source https://www.polygon.com/fez-2-cancelled-sequel-phil-fish/

D&D challenge ratings don’t make sense in 5e, and this brutal adventure proved it

In a dusk-lit meadow, five figures stand shoulder to shoulder, shooting nervous glances at the darkness beyond the trees. They know that the monster is coming. They can smell the sulphur, hear the ominous wind raised by its bat-like wings. But they are not afraid. The wizard grips his jeweled staff as a hulking construct steps up to protect him. The druid summons the power of lightning, her purple hair standing up. The warlock begins to melt into the shadows, ready to strike. When the towering devil steps into the meadow, fire trailing on its heels, they know this can be their last battle, but they are ready. source https://www.polygon.com/dnd-5e-challenge-ratings-adventure-anthology-faster-purple-worm-everybody-dies/

Push packs a rich superhero universe into a single film

The opening credits of the 2009 film Push are packed with so much exposition and terminology it feels like director Paul McGuigan and writer David Bourla are introducing viewers to an entire superhero universe. Instead, it ended with a single film. Push was part of the trend of cape-free superhero stories led by the 2006 premiere of Heroes that was quickly eclipsed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe . But Push stands on its own thanks to an excellent cast and rich setting, and it’s definitely worth watching for fans of Stranger Things , Sense8 , and X-Men . source https://www.polygon.com/push-chris-evans-superhero/
