Apple has added a new and unique accessibility feature in iOS 17 that can be helpful to many. The feature is called Personal Voice and it is a machine learning-based feature that allows your iPhone the capability to speak in your own voice. Yes, that's right.

If you are wondering about the use case of this feature, it is meant for those who either have a speech disability or a condition that stops them from speaking for a longer period of time. So, if you want to try it out, we will explain how to set it up and begin using it.

Final Fantasy 14 has a lot of cool mounts up for grabs—there's a cosmic jellyfish that makes your character tiny, the Regalia from FF15, a tiny fluffy sheep, and even one where your character gets trapped in a T.V. They all share one thing in common, though: your character's there, either riding them or caged inside them like the victim of some cautionary fairy tale. 

Blizzard tonight announced that Diablo 4's second season, named Season Of Blood, will begin on the 17th of October. Given that the first season is uninteresting, I'm not super fussed about that. What does sound good is quality-of-life changes coming alongside the new season. For starters, your inventory will no longer become clogged with six billion gems. Season Of Blood will also let you pick specific Unique and Uber Unique items to farm bosses for, which is most welcome given how vital Uniques can be for builds. Here, watch the trailer.

Godzilla and the rest of the Monsterverse are coming to Apple TV Plus for a new series called Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The show’s first reveal arrived on Thursday with a brief description and a few images to tease its upcoming release.

Remember last month, when Bethesda put out a series of animated Starfield shorts that, presumably, contained some kind of important narrative content? I've kind of glossed over that stuff, because all I paid attention to were the battling mechs it showed off: Bipedal, human-operated war suits caked in grease and diesel that look incredibly cool as they pummel the hell out of one another. It led me, and plenty of others, to ask if we might get a shot at piloting these titans ourselves when Starfield finally releases.

A bunch of new Starfield details were revealed during a developer Q&A, including the fact that you can buy homes and smuggle contraband.
