Happy Friday, Polygon readers!
As 2023 comes to a close, the games industry once again prepares for another ceremony recognizing the year’s line-up of adventures that made us laugh, cry, and everything in between. While we all have our personal lists, The Game Awards (TGA) packages that into something a little more formal.
There's good news and bad news for fans of Arcane, the League of Legends animated show that knocked our socks off in 2021. The good news is that Arcane season 2, which was confirmed last year, now has a release window. The bad news, I'm sorry to say, is that it's more than a year away.
All customers can take advantage of this discount, but My Best Buy Plus/Total members get the best price.

Apple Scary Fast Event 2023: After nearly 3 years, Apple has finally refreshed its Mac lineup and unveiled the M3-powered iMac. The announcement comes after Apple revealed its next-generation Apple Silicon chipset, the M3. This year is pretty special for Apple as iMac, its desktop, turned 25. Introduced in 1998, the iMac has been one of Apple's longest-selling products. Apple last brought out a new iMac in 2021, and since then it has been running on the M1 chip while missing out on the upgrade to M2. But this time around, the Cupertino-based tech giant has made sure that its new iMac gets an upgrade.
October is coming to a close, and with it, Halloween season ends. Fret not, though — there are still a few days left, and fall continues around the corner. And there are plenty of great movies leaving streaming services to catch up with before you say goodbye to spooky season.

As technology matures, it also gets standardized. That means fewer experiments with the interface, the addition of new features in a restricted and well-defined space, and iterative updates that don't change a lot. The same is true for web browsers, which in the last five years, have lost the quirky and exciting phase of the early 2000s. Today, most of the popular browsers that use Chromium, an open-source code developed by Google, such as Google Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, look and function the same from a broader perspective. Even Mozilla Firefox which is based on the Quantum browser engine uses similar design and UI themes (granted it does have some unique features). But earlier this year, a new browser was launched, and it immediately excited people as it was nothing like other browsers. The Arc browser, despite being built on Chromium, retains its novelty.
