Welcome to our latest roundup of what’s going on in the indie game space. There are tons of interesting games out this week. But first, there’s been some discourse around the Nintendo Switch version of Dispatch, which arrived this week as well.On other platforms, there’s an option to censor genitalia and other explicit content, but that’s not present in the Switch version. Instead, such content is censored by default, with black rectangles covering up characters’ bits and someone flipping the bird. Noises that suggest sexual pleasure are said to be toned down too.”We worked with Nintendo to ensure the content…

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is on the launch pad carrying Amazon’s Project Kuiper internet network satellites, which are expected to eventually rival Elon Musk’s Starlink system, at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 9, 2025.Steve Nesius | ReutersAmazon has asked the Federal Communications Commission for more time to meet a deadline that requires the company to deploy roughly 1,600 internet satellites by July 2026. The company needs to bring more of its satellites online so it can begin offering an internet-from-space service that was recently rebranded as Amazon Leo. The company…

January’s most popular recipe was…Homemade Bagels! Fun. I love how ambitious you readers are, going to great lengths to level up brunch. It’s worth it. I made these at home and they were the crustiest, chewiest bagels I’ve ever had. (Probably because they were the freshest bagels I’ve ever had.) I spoke with the recipe’s creator, Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewczyk, to get the scoop on his development process, and find out his go-to bagel order.Nina Moskowitz: Did you grow up eating bagels?Jesse Szewczyk: Not at all. I grew up in Illinois, so there was no bagel culture whatsoever. We…

On a temperate evening in Melbourne, Aryna Sabalenka—appearing in her fourth consecutive Australian Open final, with two titles at the tournament already under her belt—ceded what would have been her fifth Grand Slam win to the 26-year-old Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, 4–6, 6–4, 6–4.The win marked a major comeback for Rybakina, the world number five, who had not won a major since 2022, when she bested then world number three Ons Jabeur at Wimbledon. In Melbourne this year she didn’t drop a set until the final, trouncing Iga Swiatek and Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.Aryna Sabalenka, 27,…

As the standoff between the United States government and Minnesota continues this week over immigration enforcement operations that have essentially occupied the Twin Cities and other parts of the state, a federal judge delayed a decision this week and ordered a new briefing on whether the Department of Homeland Security is using armed raids to pressure Minnesota into abandoning its sanctuary policies for immigrants.Meanwhile, minutes after a federal immigration officer shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last Saturday, Trump administration officials and right-wing influencers had already mounted a smear campaign, calling Pretti a “terrorist” and a “lunatic.”As part…

The 2025 NFL season was a wild ride for a lot of teams. There were more head coaching vacancies than we’ve seen in a very long time, and the coaching carousel still isn’t over, as nine teams are still in search of an offensive coordinator, and eight teams still seek a defensive coordinator.The Washington Commanders aren’t in that boat, though, as they found both of their coordinators and simply need to solidify the rest of the staff. But, how did they do with those hires? CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani and Bryan DeArdo graded every coordinator hire so far this season,…

Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone’s whereabouts. As usual, we’re still waiting for a response. In the meantime, I finally got a reply from a company exec.After months — months — of emailing various official Trump Mobile accounts and press addresses, last week someone answered back. Don Hendrickson, a member of the company’s executive team, finally replied to one of my emails and offered to talk, but he’s ignored me ever since.Last week I reported on the unexpected news that Trump Mobile…

FujiFilm’s Instax Mini Link 3 printer is a much-loved $100 accessory in my travel journal kit. I often tape a printed image next to my handwritten thoughts to preserve a moment in time. The prints produced by the instant film can, however, be soft and muddy — something the new $169.95 Instax Mini Link+ promises to improve.The big upgrade is a new Design Print mode. It’s supposed to make text and intricate illustrations crisp and legible, but I didn’t see much of an improvement, despite that being a big selling point. I did, however, find that the improved processing inside…

When you wake up the next morning, before you’ve had anything to eat or drink, you spit into a little vial. Then you prick your fingertip with the provided mini lancet, which didn’t hurt at all. You fill four minivettes (think tiny turkey basters) from the little drops of blood that form on your fingertip. Once that’s accomplished, you get to have an awkward poop. The kit comes with a little paper hammock that sticks to the seat of your toilet and hangs down a little.Poop on it, and then you use the provided scoop to select a little ball…
