Helldivers 2 is an extremely popular game, far more than probably either Arrowhead or Sony hoped for. That said, it isn't perfect, and the developers are well aware of that.

The summer has arrived, and so has the time for icy cold drinks, swimming, and beach vacations! But, just as you come out of the pool or put down a frosted glass and try operating your smartphone to type out a message with damp fingers, the struggle is real! Most displays become unresponsive, and you are unable to type what you want after several attempts.
OnePlus' most powerful ‘R' model yet — the OnePlus 12R — promises to make this summer more bearable with the introduction of the revolutionary Aqua Touch feature. This latest revolution enables the smartphone to use its CPU to detect when its screen or your fingers are wet and configure a reaction accordingly. So, even at times when you reach out for your phone with wet hands to respond to an urgent message, you can rest assured that there will be no more mistouches or delayed reactions.
The brand-new OnePlus 12R boasts several firsts. It has the most advanced display on a OnePlus smartphone ever, complete with innovative rain protection. Its fourth-generation LTPO 120Hz ProXDR display offers some serious upgrades — upgraded peak brightness of 4500 nits, true-to-life colours and lightning-fast responsiveness. The stunning display brings every visual to life on the screen in front of you with Dolby Vision.
All of us spend long hours glued to our smartphones, and the impact on our eyes is palpable. Your OnePlus 12R cares for your eyes. It comes with intelligent eye protection technology so that you can see richer details for longer.
Many high-end smartphones are being designed with high refresh rates, but the OnePlus 12R stands out for the LTPO 4.0 feature, an intelligent dynamic refresh rate system that allows the smartphone to choose the refresh rate needed depending upon what you are using the smartphone for. So, if you are playing a game, it will keep the refresh rate at its peak level of 120 Hz to ensure zero latency. But when you are just reading something or scrolling slowly, the refresh rate will automatically be lowered to as low as even 1 Hz. As a result, the performance of the smartphone is enhanced, and the battery drain is minimised.
The OnePlus 12R is also the strongest phone OnePlus has ever made. It is the first OnePlus model to use more than 20 per cent aluminium in its making — whether it is the use of an aluminium alloy frame or magnesium aluminium in the internal elements. It feels sturdy to hold and also comes with an IP64 rating for water and dust resistance, making it an all-weather phone that you can use even when the weather is harsh.
At the core of this amazing new smartphone is its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which gives 35 per cent better CPU performance and 25 per cent better GPU performance. With UFS 4.0 ROM on the

Samsung is reported to stick with a dual-chipset launch strategy for its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, where some regions will offer the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, while others will sell the Exynos 2500 variants. The Exynos 2400 provided a slew of surprises as the company significantly improved its current-generation flagship SoC. Next year, Samsung is expected to kick things up a notch and is rumored to leverage its second-generation 3nm process to mass produce the Exynos 2500. This move could give the SoC power efficiency attributes that dwarf Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

I have a rule: no more than one post about a horror game per day. The mind can only withstand so much, after all. But POOLS isn't really a horror game. It's just a walking simulator in which you explore a bunch of underground swimming pools. True, their size and layout defy explanation - what is this, a swimming pool for Slender Men? - but look, there are cute covered slides you can ride down in first-person. You know, like the ones you used to enjoy as a kid. Always that element of anxiety though about getting stuck halfway down, am I right?
Some new videogame releases pounce on us like excitable Golden Retrievers, while others become apparent to us more insidiously, like undead Golden Retrievers creeping back from the grave to do their master's bidding unto eternity. Withering Rooms is one of the latter: released out of early access last week, and noticed by me just yesterday, it's a haunted mansion metroidvania in which you are a small girl in a nightie who must use meat cleavers, pentagrams and spells of self-enlargement or possession or incineration to overcome various monsters of the Silently Hilly and/or Residentially Evil persuasion. No, none of the monsters are Golden Retrievers.
