Solar storm just hit Comet Nishimura! It cut off its tail, but comeback was dazzling

Lies of P, the unusual Souls-like action RPG, has made a strong debut on the UK's boxed games chart. The game's Pinocchio-meets-Bloodborne premise had always seemed strange, but it's clearly struck a chord, as it's arrived at number three in the bestsellers in its launch week. Less surprising is a number one debut for Mortal Kombat 1. Both titles sold the vast majority of their physical copies on PS5.

In time-honoured Bethesda game tradition, Starfield players are using objects found in the game world to play Dominoes.

In the past three days, we've seen several geomagnetic storms hit Earth. On September 24, a G2-class storm hit the planet and sparked rare, red auroras over Scotland. Yesterday, a G-1 geomagnetic storm was predicted to hit Earth due to a CME approaching the planet. The effects of the Sun have been felt in the form of solar storms, geomagnetic storms, and solar flares over the last few months. In turn, these phenomena have sparked further events such as auroras, blackouts, and disruption of radio communications. This solar activity is expected to increase even more as we approach the solar maximum, the period in the Sun's 11-year solar cycle where its activity is the highest.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is fantastic, and—like Cyberpunk 2077 itself—it's something I hadn't engaged with until recently. I'm new to the post-corpo war hellscape of this setting, but I figured after sinking about 20 hours into the game itself I might as well check out this anime everyone's been raving about. Spoilers ahead for Edgerunners, obviously.

Apple debuted the iPhone 15 series at its Wonderlust event on September 12 and opened the pre-orders for the devices on September 15. The Cupertino-based tech giant kicked off the deliveries of its newest iPhones on September 22, and since then these devices have been flying off the shelves, so much so that there are now waiting times for specific models. However, those lucky few who were able to get their hands on the iPhone 15 series ran into a new issue that was rendering their devices unusable in certain conditions.

Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption — Reawakened, the mod project to rebuild the first VtM videogame in Skyrim, has shown off new gameplay of its Prague early game. The original game, which follows the story of a crusader knight from the Middle Ages all the way to the modern day, is one of those hyper-ambitious, turn of the millennium RPGs that just doesn't come all the way together, and is a prime candidate for a fan revival.

It appears that the Sun is not going to relent anytime soon. This week has been one of the most explosive ones when it comes to solar activity. We have seen regular solar flare eruptions and radio blackouts every day of the week, and there have been three different solar storm incidents, including a G3-class storm on the night of September 18-19, that resulted in aurora displays as far south as France. But now, another solar storm threat is building up for the Earth. Yesterday, September 20, an M8-class solar flare erupted on the Sun and released a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud in the same direction as the Earth. Researchers are now trying to confirm whether it can hit our planet or not.

The recently-launched chaotic co-op game Party Animals already has a lot of concurrent players on Steam, but that hasn't stopped it from getting 'Mostly Negative' reviews. 

When it comes to terrifying solar storms, the last 24-hour period has been one of the worst since March 2023. The solar storm was triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that was hurled towards the Earth's strike zone on September 18. There were speculations on whether it would hit the planet or not, but not only did it hit the Earth, it also arrived a day earlier than expected. Also, Earth was hit by multiple solar flare eruptions that caused severe radio blackouts. Know the full impact of this solar storm.

Solar activity has been on the rise, with recent developments stoking concerns about potential repercussions for our planet. On September 17th, as predicted, Earth was hit by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that was spewed out by the Sun earlier. While the initial impact did not trigger a geomagnetic storm, there's a possibility of minor G1-class storms being sparked today in the coming hours as Earth continues to traverse through the CME.

Developer and publisher Frontier Developments has released a new trailer for its upcoming real-time strategy game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin. The new trailer shows off the general gameplay of the upcoming title, and you can check it out below.

More solar activity has been detected on the Sun, and it could spell bad news for the Earth. Currently, there is a coronal mass ejection (CME) that is traveling towards us and is likely to strike the planet on Sunday, September 17. But before it can even hit us, more solar flares have erupted on the Sun. Two different M-class solar flares were detected exploding on the notorious sunspot region AR3429 which has already caused multiple solar flares so far. The extreme radiation from the solar flares sparked radio blackouts on the Earth, and scientists are now looking into the fact whether another CME was hurled towards the Earth and if it can spark another solar storm.
