Pokemon Go developer Niantic has announced a new series of updates designed to help people still play the game despite likely being stuck inside due to the spread of the coronavirus. This all started a couple of weeks ago when Niantic revealed the first of a series of changes to Pokemon Go designed to reduce

Rosa is deeply in need, whether she realizes it or not. Her physical addictions might be gone, but the underlying issues were still waiting for her, and some have only been exacerbated by the strange circumstances of her revival. Later, we hear her saying the Serenity Prayer in a church, which is generally associated with
This is why having pull lists is so important to your shop and to keeping books alive. Adding returnability coupled with limiting stock is a huge relief to shops facing limited hours and potential closures. Even so, some shops have decided to stop ordering shelf copies and are only buying what their customers subscribe to
“We found ourselves creeping ever forward towards, ‘Well, let’s just keeping putting more and more, and more, and more stuff in this game because we want to make it as good as we can,’” Casali says. “I think at that point we realized, ‘Okay, maybe this episodes thing, it was a good concept, but we’re
Scientists have made a breakthrough in the development of a new generation of electronics that will require less power and generate less heat. It involves exploiting the complex quantum properties of electrons – in this case, the spin state of electrons. In a world first, the researchers – led by a team of physicists from
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2020 — Making your own ceramics can be a way to express your creativity, but some techniques and materials used in the process could spell bad news for your health and the environment. If not prepared properly, some glazed ceramics can leach potentially harmful heavy metals. Scientists now report progress toward a
Fuel cells and water electrolyzers that are cheap and efficient will form the cornerstone of a hydrogen fuel based economy, which is one of the most promising clean and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. These devices rely on materials called electrocatalysts to work, so the development of efficient and low-cost catalysts is essential to make
The unique structures of biological vision systems in nature inspired scientists to design ultracompact imaging systems. A research group led by Professor Ki-Hun Jeong have made an ultracompact camera that captures high-contrast and high-resolution images. Fully packaged with micro-optical elements such as inverted micro-lenses, multilayered pinhole arrays, and gap spacers on the image sensor, the
Markus Koch, head of the research group Femtosecond Dynamics at the Institute of Experimental Physics at TU Graz, and his team develop new methods for time-resolved femtosecond laser spectroscopy to investigate ultrafast processes in molecular systems. In 2018 the group demonstrated for the first time that photo-induced processes can be observed inside a helium nanodroplet,
KAIST researchers have developed a novel wearable strain sensor based on the modulation of optical transmittance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded elastomer. The sensor is capable of sensitive, stable, and continuous measurement of physical signals. This technology, featured in the March 4th issue of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces as a front cover article, shows

Alex’s joy at being suddenly able to wield superpowers, fly, and beat the crap out of bad guys is tremendously fun to watch, as is her mini-quest to bring down Hank Henshaw, complete with over the top sidekick routines from J’onn and Brainy at DEO Headquarters. While she revels in the adulation that seems to
The organizers of the Game Developers Conference have announced their intentions to host a special three-day event called GDC Summer which is currently set to run from August 4-6 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. “GDC Summer’s conference program will consist of high-quality technical content, mixed with valuable roundtable discussions to foster conversation and

In these days of coronavirus quarantine, one day can feel exactly like the next, and it reminded our Sci Fi Fidelity podcast hosts of the many repeating days that appear in time loop episodes of some current and classic TV shows. Bill Murray in Groundhog Day may have set the standard in cinema, but imitators
GameStop has vowed to give 80 hours of extra paid time off to employees of closed stores who are eligible for PTO. Those who aren’t will be given two weeks extra pay based on the average hours they’ve worked in the last 10 weeks. This comes after Kotaku received reports that GameStop had informed employees

Echo has been revealed as Overwatch‘s 32nd hero in a new trailer that teases her arrival to Blizzard’s competitive first-person shooter. Blizzard didn’t share any details regarding the hero’s abilities or stats, but it’s expected the developer will roll out that information in the coming weeks. The omnic — the Overwatch universe’s version of a
For so long Steven thought he had it all figured out and that included his problems. He believed his biggest issue was dealing with his, as he once called them, “complicated” feelings about his mom but now that we’re well past that? Steven isn’t sure who he is. He doesn’t know what he wants or
The creative team behind Archie Meets Flash Gordon is writer Jeff Parker (who tackled the latter character in a recent ongoing series for Dynamite) and Dan Parent, the Archie vet who created the Kevin Keller character. The pair previously worked together on the Archie Meets Batman ‘66 crossover, and there’s no reason that this latest
5. Hitmonchan Here we go! And now we’ve arrived to the collection of cards we’ve all been waiting for. One deck archetype in retro Pokémon towers over the rest. We’re referring to Haymaker, of course. Haymaker simply collected the three basic Pokémon with reasonable 70 HP and cheap, effective attacks and unleashed them upon the
Why is this all happening now? Why is Steven feeling these things when nothing major is happening in his life and not when he was under constant attack? Well there are many reasons but one I’m going to focus on is that Steven is older now. When we’re younger we don’t have the ability to
This is a tough one. My favorites have changed through the years, as I’ve grown. I definitely wouldn’t have said it years ago, but the characters I’m loving most today are the Sterlings – Max, Miriya, and even Dana Sterling! There’s always been an underlying complexity to them that I’m getting a chance to bring
The moment you step off the train platform in 2001’s Animal Crossing, you are greeted by Tom Nook, who identifies himself as the town store owner and then immediately proceeds to mock you for being homeless. So far as neighborhood welcome wagons go, this little fellow ranks slightly below closed blinds, awkward stares, and hushed
