These days, the hallowed halls of Aperture Labs only make an appearance when Valve needs a quick and quirky tutorial for its latest VR hardware or PC handheld.

Quordle 714 answer for January 8: Despite being Monday, today's Quordle answers won't give you Monday blues! All four words are pretty common and are often used in everyday conversations. Thus, the puzzle is not nerve-wracking at all, and even those new to Quordle will be able to solve it in their first few attempts. However, unlike crossword puzzles, Quordle players don't have access to any hints and clues, making the guessing game a bit difficult. You can stick to your tried-and-tested strategy, but unless you are blessed with a massive vocabulary, things will not improve. Before diving in and entering random guesses, players must remember that they only have 9 chances to get all 4 five-letter words correctly.

Over three decades have passed since Tetris made its debut on the NES in 1989. Since then, a holy grail has lied just out of reach—the «true killscreen». Now, a young prodigy has managed to reach it: after 34 entire years, a flesh-and-blood person has finally beaten Tetris.

Accessories can improve your experience with your Switch, and the Nitro Deck - a Switch accessory I use on an almost daily basis - is one of the best, and it's getting three new designs this year.

Though the end of Game of Thrones in 2019 dovetailed directly into news that HBO was in development on a slate of spinoff series spearheaded by source material author George R.R. Martin, 2024 only feels like the beginning of a GoT onslaught. House of the Dragon, the only show that’s gone before cameras (besides an entirely different pilot that was shot and scrapped), will return for season 2 this summer. A Knight of Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, adapting Martin’s Dunk and Egg story, has a greenlight with lofty goals of arriving before year’s end. A Jon Snow series might still be in the works?

, one of Nintendo's most iconic, flagship series, is almost assuredly going to continue after its most recent outing, 2023's incredibly successful. With no news (or even confirmation of) the next entry, it's impossible to know what it'll look like, whether it iterates on the more recent open-world formula, embraces the series' more traditional trappings once again, or breaks new ground entirely. One thing almost guaranteed, though, is that the next game will feature the series' ever-present hero, Link, and even an innocuous change to the protagonist could pay homage to his past.

Alongside, the platform has also made its posts public (unless users opt out), meaning anyone can see posts and search for posts without needing to be logged in or even own an account. The platform continues to be an invite-only, however.

The existence of the Upper Lunch Hut implies the existence of a Lower Lunch Hut, but as far as I can tell, no such building exists.
