Warhammer 40K and its grimdark aesthetic are awesome, but not everyone can devote a significant portion of their time and budget to painting an entire army's worth of miniatures. If you (like me) enjoy the look of the war-torn universe of 41st millennium, but don’t necessarily want to engage in the tabletop game, you might want to check out the vast collection of official Warhammer 40K action figures from Joytoy that are currently on sale at Amazon.

Deepfakes, hyper-realistic fake videos or audio, have become a significant concern, particularly after the viral spread of such content featuring Bollywood actresses, models and other celebrities. The ministry attributes the rapid dissemination of deepfake videos to the widespread use of social media platforms and it emphasised the need for stringent measures.

Sometimes, despite best intentions and constant vigilance, a game manages to fly in under the radar.  A quiet fan-base that’s actually trying to be as noisy as possible builds up around it, and eventually people start noticing.  The phrase is supposed to be “sleeper hit” but honestly, the “hit” part is usually overselling things a bit.  For every Katamari Damacy that spawns a much-loved series there are a dozen Gitaroo Man, loved by the people who played it and either forgotten or unknown by everyone else.  Astlibra Revision actually did pretty ok for itself on PC but it’s still incredibly niche, but is more than good enough to deserve stronger recognition.  With today’s launch on Switch a whole new audience has a shot at some of the fastest and most versatile side-view combat an action-RPG has to offer.
