TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Online Gambling in the US using PayPal
Online gambling is the internet version of betting in a land-based casino. The player has to be online using their gadgets before they can wager. Games such as poker, slots, casino, and sports can be played here.
Online casinos in general offer lots of promos and bonuses and payback percentages which are higher than land-based casinos while enjoying the same kind of games and entertainment we experience in a real casino minus the atmosphere.

Trailer for Cancelled Duke Nukem Begins Appears Online
Third-person Duke and four-player co-op looked like the main focuses.
A trailer for the cancelled, and probably long-forgotten about, Duke Nukem Begins has surfaced online. The game was in the works at Gearbox around 2008 when it was cancelled, probably due to legal issues surrounding the use of the IP, which is a battle that is still raging even now.
Animation studio Janimation was hired by Gearbox to put together a cinematic trailer for the game before it was scrapped.... -

Fans are Remaking Team Fortress 2 in Source 2
A group of modders are working together to update the game they love.
Facepunch Studios is hard at work developing a spiritual Garry's Mod successor that they're calling s&box. The sandbox style game started life out as an Unreal Engine project but has since swapped to using Source 2, the engine developed by Valve that is currently in use in games like Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx.
Thanks to the limited public availability of s&box to eager developers, Source 2 is... -

In case you don't want to download the game.
This evening included the first of five planned showings of a virtual Ariana Grande concert in Fortnite. This is being called the Rift Tour and while you still have at least four more opportunities to catch the show live, I understand that not everyone really cares enough to download Fortnite just for a short virtual concert.
That's totally fine because we have you covered. Some viewers that caught the first show recorded the... -

The Ascent Update Fixes Bugs and Adds Missing Features to Game Pass Version
The Game Pass version is now much closer to the Steam release.
The isometric RPG The Ascent was updated this week on PC for both the Windows Store version and the Steam version. The Windows Store version was given a much more substantial update if only because it was lacking features at launch that the Steam version already had included. For example, the Windows Store version lacked features like ray tracing and DLSS support.

Niantic Responds to the Fans Furious Over Pokemon Go Changes
They're opening up a dialogue.
Recently, Pokemon Go developer Niantic made some changes to the game that didn't exactly sit right with fans. Specifically, Niantic reverted some changes that they made to the game during the early days of the pandemic (that's still a thing btw). Niantic had made it so that players could interact with Pokestops from further away, something that was a really smart move during this ongoing time of "social distancing."
