https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-66656443 Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has defended talks with Chinese officials in Beijing, telling the BBC it would not be "credible" to disengage. After meeting China's vice president, Mr Cleverly said the trip, the first by such a senior UK figure in five years, would help avoid "mistrust and errors". But ahead of his visit, some UK MPs attacked the government's approach to China as "incoherent". In recent years, UK-China relations have deteriorated. China is still the UK's fourth largest trading partner, but concerns over threats to civil liberties in the former British colony of Hong Kong, espionage by China in the UK, and China's support of Russia during the invasion of Ukraine have led to tensions between the two countries. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Cleverly said his visit was an opportunity to speak "directly and unambiguously" on areas of disagreement and "work together where it is in our mutual interest to do so". He said it would allow the UK to "re-establish lines of communication" and added that a lack of face-to-face engagement could lead to "more opportunities for perhaps misinterpretations, mistrust and errors". Did Yellen's trip to Beijing boost US-China relations? Europe’s good cop and bad cop meet Xi Jinping Golden era of UK-China relations over, says Sunak "I'm realistic that one phone call, one visit, one meeting isn't going to fundamentally change the direction of travel," he said, but added that "patient, consistent and reliable communication could have an effect". "That is why I bring up issues around human rights, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and indeed individual cases every time I have meetings with representatives of the Chinese government." Asked about China's support for Russia in Ukraine, Mr Cleverly said the country had an interest in bringing the war to "a fair and successful conclusion". "I don't think it is in China's interest for there to be a perception they are supporting actively or even passively Putin's actions." Mr Cleverly said the UK wanted to maintain an economic relationship with China, but added: "National security comes first and if there is ever a situation where our security concerns are at odd with our economic concerns, our security concerns win out." On Wednesday, Mr Cleverly met China's Vice President Han Zheng at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and held talks with China's Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi. The Foreign Office said during the meetings he raised the case of Jimmy Lai, expressed concern about the treatment of the Uyghur people and urged China to lift sanctions on British MPs. In recent months both the US's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have visited China in efforts to restart communications between the superpowers. Since the beginning of the year, China has also received visits from leaders of the EU, France, Germany and Spain. Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told the BBC that China is on a "charm offensive" after backtracking on "a very aggressive approach to foreign affairs" nicknamed wolf warrior diplomacy. The UK-China relationship has changed dramatically since 2015, when David Cameron's government hailed a "golden era". China's President Xi Jinping and then-UK Prime Minister David Cameron share a pint at a pub in 2015 At the time, then-Chancellor George Osborne said the UK had "cemented its position as China's best partner in West" and Mr Cameron took Chinese President Xi Jinping for a pint in his local pub. However, since then, the UK government has criticised China for its treatment of Uyghur Muslims living in the country and in 2021 it banned the Chinese company Huawei from UK's 5G infrastructure citing security concerns. In the same year, China banned five MPs - including former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith - accusing them of spreading "lies and disinformation". As prime minister, Liz Truss was reportedly planning to re-categorise China as a "threat" to the UK. Rishi Sunak has resisted calls to go that far but in 2022 he said that the "golden era" of relations with China was over and said attempts to build closer ties had been "naïve". At its heart the UK's recent policy towards China has been based on a changing perception of the balance between the UK's economic interests and its security concerns. At times the UK has sought business opportunities in China and Chinese investment in the UK, welcoming Chinese participation in even sensitive sectors such as civil nuclear power stations. But ties have been strained as China has taken an increasingly authoritarian turn under Xi Jinping's leadership. The move now, under Mr Sunak's premiership towards new engagement, may be driven by a pragmatic, business-led policy, but it has come under criticism from some prominent MPs in the Conservative Party who have warned the UK should be moving to reduce the risks associated with allowing China influence in parts of the UK economy. Speaking in London, Mr Sunak declined to say whether he would have talks with President Xi at the G20 summit in Delhi next month, but said it was "sensible" to discuss areas where there was "common ground" such as climate change, global health and economic stability. Mr Cleverly's visit comes as the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee criticised the government's approach to China in a new report on UK policy in the Indo-Pacific. The report describes the activities of the Chinese Communist Party as "a threat to the UK and its interests". It raises concerns that the government's strategy on China is classified and therefore not available to senior ministers - it says this has led to incoherence and calls for an unclassified version of its China strategy to be published to provide guidance to the public and private sectors. Ex-Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith is one of five British MPs to be banned from visiting China The committee also argues that all relevant ministers should be briefed on the higher classification version of the strategy. The committee's Conservative chairwoman, Alicia Kearns, said: "The confidential, elusive China strategy is buried deep in Whitehall, kept hidden even from senior ministers across government. "How can those implementing policy - and making laws - do so without an understanding of the overall strategy?" Asked on Tuesday if Mr Cleverly should be visiting Beijing, she told the BBC: "It is more important that we are in the room with them in stark disagreement, rather than cutting off relations." However, former Conservative party leader and minister Sir Iain said the visit was the latest stage of "Project Kowtow". He told the PA news agency the UK position "smells terribly of appeasement". "It's like we want more business, therefore we don't want to upset the Chinese too much," he said. "What we end up with is that they think we are just too weak." Labour's shadow foreign secretary David Lammy accused the Conservative government of more than a decade of "division, inconsistency and complacency towards China". He said the government needed to secure "tangible diplomatic wins" including an end to Chinese sanctions on British parliamentarians. Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesperson Layla Moran said Mr Cleverly's decision to meet Han Zheng was a "kick in the teeth" for those who wanted to see democratic rights in Hong Kong protected.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-pet-food-dogs-diet-heart-disease-rcna101224 Since the Food and Drug Administration first warned about a possible link between a potentially fatal canine heart condition and “grain free” pet foods in 2018, owners and veterinarians have continued to report cases of dogs developing diet-related dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM. DCM is a disease in which the heart gets larger, leaving it weaker and less able to pump blood. Some larger breeds of dogs, such as golden retrievers and Great Danes, are susceptible to the condition. The FDA’s most recent tally of dogs, and a much smaller number of cats, with diet-related DCM included 1,382 cases, 255 of which had been determined between Aug. 1, 2020, and Nov. 1, 2022. In 2019, the FDA named 16 brands of dog food associated with the rare form of heart disease, although it didn't suggest that owners stop giving the food, which often contains high levels of peas, lentils and potatoes, to their pets. Researchers and veterinarians don't yet know exactly how dog and cat food might cause damage to some pets’ hearts, but a study published in 2021 suggested that a culprit could be the high levels of peas in certain pet foods. That finding was backed up in May when Canadian scientists published a study on the effects of a 28-day diet on eight adult beagle dogs, a breed chosen because it's not known to be susceptible to the heart condition. The veterinary researchers from the University of Saskatchewan fed the dogs one of three diets: a traditional diet; a grain-free diet high in lentils; and a grain free diet high in peas. They then repeated the experiment with the other two diets so that all the beagles had experience with all three diets. The researchers observed “DCM-like changes” in dogs that had been consuming the pea diet for 28 days. It’s not yet clear what it is about peas that could be harming pet hearts, said the study’s senior author, Lynn Weber, a professor of veterinary biomedical sciences at the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine. One possibility is the amount of fiber in peas. “I suspect if we remove all peas from all dog and cat foods we’re still going to run into a problem,” Weber said, noting that more research is needed to find out what it is about the peas and possibly other ingredients that is leading to heart damage. The best evidence relating DCM to certain diets is how dogs' hearts improve once they are switched to a traditional diet, said Dr. Aly Cohen, an associate veterinarian at the Riney Canine Health Center and a clinical instructor at the Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. The peak in the number of reports — 608 between May 1, 2019, and July 31, 2020 — came shortly after the FDA released the brand names of the pet foods that appeared to be linked to the development of DCM. FDA spokeswoman Veronika Pfaeffle noted that the agency’s investigation of the issue continues but cautioned against reading too much into the new stats. “While adverse event numbers can be a potential signal of an issue with an FDA regulated product, by themselves, they do not supply sufficient data to establish a causal relationship with reported product(s),” Pfaeffle said in an email. The FDA hasn’t recalled any pet food products, and the agency doesn’t plan to release further public updates until “there is meaningful new scientific information to share.” While the rate of new cases seems to have slowed, experts say the problem may be more widespread than the number of reports suggests. Dr. William Rausch says his cardiology practice still sees about one new case every week. And because studies have found that dogs can be developing DCM for years without symptoms, “it suggests that for every case I see there are many more [dogs] walking around out there that seem normal but are developing the disease,” said Rausch, a veterinary cardiologist in private practice and an adjunct professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. The Pet Food Institute, an industry group that represents most pet food companies in the U.S., appreciates the FDA’s attention to the issue, Sherri Kirk, a spokesperson for the organization, said in an email. “Our members continue to conduct research to determine the highest quality and safest ingredients to provide complete and balanced dog food to help dogs live long and healthy lives.” Symptoms to watch for For the most part, dogs don’t show any signs until they are experiencing heart failure, said Dr. Terri DeFrancesco, a professor of cardiology and critical care at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Signs that a dog is developing heart failure include: Decreased activity. Tiredness. Lethargy. Coughing. Shortness of breath. Decreased appetite. For dog and cat owners, the discovery that carefully chosen foods could have damaged the heart of a beloved pet can be wrenching. Julie Carter was stunned when her 3 1/2-year-old golden retriever Oliver was diagnosed first with a heart murmur and then, after an echocardiogram, with full-blown DCM in February 2018. A short time after that, Carter’s other golden retriever was diagnosed with DCM but at an earlier stage than Oliver. After explaining the condition, Carter’s vet asked what type of dog food Oliver had been eating. “It was really horrifying to think that I could have in any way been responsible because of my choice of his diet,” the Florham Park, New Jersey, resident told NBC News. Carter switched both dogs to a food with a more traditional formulation and started them on heart medication. But the damage to Oliver’s heart was too great and within six months, he died. Carter’s other dog, Riley, eventually recovered.

The veterinary cardiologist said she used to report every case, but with news coverage of the issue and the loss of the staff member who used to handle FDA reports, she has stopped. It’s likely that the reports to the FDA are just the tip of the iceberg, because many owners and vets don’t have time to fill out the forms, DeFrancesco said. DeFrancesco believes that diet-related DCM is most likely multifactorial, with some pets inheriting a genetic susceptibility that is triggered by certain types of diets. “Millions of dogs eat these diets but millions do not get DCM,” she said, adding that she advises pet owners to avoid nontraditional formulations because it can't be known in advance whether a pet might be susceptible. There is a way for pet owners who don’t want to switch from their nontraditional brand of pet food to check on heart health, said Dr. Joe Bartges, a professor of internal medicine, interventional radiology and nutrition at the Veterinary Medical Center at the University of Georgia. “There are biomarkers that can look at whether the heart muscle has been damaged,” Bartges said, adding that veterinarians can run a blood test that measures levels of a protein called BNP. Cornell's Cohen advises owners to steer clear of any pet foods that have these listed in the top 10 ingredients: Peas. Lentils. Chickpeas. Potatoes or sweet potatoes. Even with the news coverage of diet-related DCM, there are owners who are not familiar with the issue. Carter, who participates in a Facebook DCM group, recently heard from another golden retriever owner whose dog had died from the condition. “Her 5-year-old golden retriever had died two months ago after being fed one of the diets linked to this disease,” Carter said. “Her loss hit me hard, especially considering her dog’s age and breed. I put my head down on my desk and cried.” CLARIFICATION: (Aug. 27, 6:50 p.m. ET): An earlier version of this article did not include the full response from the FDA. It has been updated to reflect that the agency says it hasn’t “established a causal relationship” between heart damage and the reported pet food products.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/66665583 France centre Jonathan Danty is a doubt for their World Cup opener against New Zealand because of a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old scored at the weekend in France's 41-17 win over Australia in their final warm-up game. The French Rugby Federation (FRF) confirmed extra tests post-game showed a "slight problem" with his hamstring. Danty will have further tests over the coming days, with the hosts set to play the All Blacks on 8 September at Stade de France. The FRF added a training schedule will be "adapted to his situation" next week. The La Rochelle centre, who is a key player for Fabien Galthie's side, is likely to be replaced by Bordeaux-Begles' Yoram Moefana or Arthur Vincent of Montpellier for the opening game. France have already lost starting fly-half Romain Ntamack for the whole tournament due to a serious knee injury and loose-head prop Cyril Baille for at least their first two games with a calf strain. The hosts, who are one of the favourites to win the World Cup, also face Uruguay, Namibia and Italy in Pool A.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66662777 Michael Bobbitt, a resident on Florida's Cedar Key island, sent his loved ones away before Hurricane Idalia hit - but he chose to stay behind. "I'm still here now," he told the BBC on Wednesday morning. "Our entire downtown is underwater. Part of a whole hotel just broke apart and went into the Gulf," Mr Bobbitt said. "It's like the Gulf is trying to swallow us up." Strong winds combined with a storm surge have toppled trees, submerged homes and flooded roads. In the days ahead of the hurricane, officials had warned residents to evacuate, more than 1.5 million people across 28 counties. At a press conference on Wednesday morning, Florida Gov Ron DeSantis said: "If you end up with a storm surge that even approaches 16 feet, the chance of surviving that is not great. You would need to be even like on a three-story building, because it's going to rise very, very highly," he said. But Mr Bobbitt said he could not leave the island - and the people - he loves behind. Media caption, Cedar Key: 'The town is completely underwater' "It was never a question about whether I would stay or go," Mr Bobbitt said. Cedar Key is connected to mainland Florida by a series of bridges, which Mr Bobbitt said are now all "completely underwater". "There's no help coming," he said. "It'll be days before trucks can even make it to the island." For now, Mr Bobbitt is sheltering on the second floor of his two-storey home. He said he has no electricity, but he does have a generator - and a boat. "I'm gonna get a motorboat here in the water shortly, so I can get to some of the outlying areas of the island to make sure that there are no old people stuck or in need of help," he said.

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-08-viewpoint-minorities-biased-ai-algorithms.html Bad data does not only produce bad outcomes. It can also help to suppress sections of society, for instance vulnerable women and minorities. This is the argument of my new book on the relationship between various forms of racism and sexism and artificial intelligence (AI). The problem is acute. Algorithms generally need to be exposed to data—often taken from the internet—in order to improve at whatever they do, such as screening job applications, or underwriting mortgages. But the training data often contains many of the biases that exist in the real world. For example, algorithms could learn that most people in a particular job role are male and therefore favor men in job applications. Our data is polluted by a set of myths from the age of "enlightenment", including biases that lead to discrimination based on gender and sexual identity. Judging from the history in societies where racism has played a role in establishing the social and political order, extending privileges to white males –- in Europe, North America and Australia, for instance –- it is simple science to assume that residues of racist discrimination feed into our technology. In my research for the book, I have documented some prominent examples. Face recognition software more commonly misidentified black and Asian minorities, leading to false arrests in the US and elsewhere. Software used in the criminal justice system has predicted that black offenders would have higher recidivism rates than they did. There have been false health care decisions. A study found that of the black and white patients assigned the same health risk score by an algorithm used in US health management, the black patients were often sicker than their white counterparts. This reduced the number of black patients identified for extra care by more than half. Because less money was spent on black patients who have the same level of need as white ones, the algorithm falsely concluded that black patients were healthier than equally sick white patients. Denial of mortgages for minority po[CENSORED]tions is facilitated by biased data sets. The list goes on. Machines don't lie? Such oppressive algorithms intrude on almost every area of our lives. AI is making matters worse, as it is sold to us as essentially unbiased. We are told that machines don't lie. Therefore, the logic goes, no one is to blame. This pseudo-objectiveness is central to the AI-hype created by the Silicon Valley tech giants. It is easily discernible from the speeches of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, even if now and then they warn us about the projects that they themselves are responsible for. There are various unaddressed legal and ethical issues at stake. Who is accountable for the mistakes? Could someone claim compensation for an algorithm denying them parole based on their ethnic background in the same way that one might for a toaster that exploded in a kitchen? The opaque nature of AI technology poses serious challenges to legal systems which have been built around individual or human accountability. On a more fundamental level, basic human rights are threatened, as legal accountability is blurred by the maze of technology placed between perpetrators and the various forms of discrimination that can be conveniently blamed on the machine. Racism has always been a systematic strategy to order society. It builds, legitimizes and enforces hierarchies between the "haves" and "have nots." In such a world, where it's difficult to disentangle truth and reality from untruth, our privacy needs to be legally protected. The right to privacy and the concomitant ownership of our virtual and real-life data needs to be codified as a human right, not least in order to harvest the real opportunities that good AI harbors for human security. But as it stands, the innovators are far ahead of us. Technology has outpaced legislation. The ethical and legal vacuum thus created is readily exploited by criminals, as this brave new AI world is largely anarchic. Blindfolded by the mistakes of the past, we have entered a wild west without any sheriffs to police the violence of the digital world that's enveloping our everyday lives. The tragedies are already happening on a daily basis. It is time to counter the ethical, political and social costs with a concerted social movement in support of legislation. The first step is to educate ourselves about what is happening right now, as our lives will never be the same. It is our responsibility to plan the course of action for this new AI future. Only in this way can a good use of AI be codified in local, national and global institutions.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-drops-optane-persistent-memory-support-from-emerald-rapids Intel's next-generation Xeon Scalable processors (codenamed: Emerald Rapids) and their successors will cease support of the company's Optane Persistent Memory (PMem) modules, according to the company's own PerfMon tool, as discovered by InstLatX64. Apparently, Intel is now betting on CXL 2.0 memory expansion modules. Intel's Emerald Rapids heavily relies on technologies developed for Sapphire Rapids, as it uses the same high-performance microarchitecture and shares the platform. That said, removing Optane Persistent Memory support looks to be a business, rather than a technological, decision. Keeping in mind that Intel will stop officially supplying Optane Persistent Memory modules on Dec. 29, 2023, it is logical not to support it on products that ramp in 2024. The decision to drop support for Optane Persistent Memory modules from the 5th Generation Xeon Scalable processors is not unexpected — in fact, it makes perfect sense. Intel's Emerald Rapids processor is set to support CXL 2.0 type 1, type 2, and type 3 devices — including CXL Attached Memory, which is the direct successor of Intel's Optane Persistent Memory modules. Furthermore, EMR CPUs support the same CXL Attached Memory modes as do SPR processors with Optane PMems, probably because Intel uses the same controller IP. Yet, it hardly wants to validate its outgoing product line with all-new CPUs and hopes to sell its written off Optane inventory in the coming quarters. Formally, Intel's Emerald Rapids and subsequent generations of Xeon processors will continue to support Optane solid-state drives as they use industry-standard interfaces and can be plugged into new machines seamlessly. That said, we are not sure how many vendors will validate their work with newer datacenter/workstation platforms, so we have little chances to see many future Xeon-based machines outfitted with Optane SSDs. Anyway, with Intel axing support for Optane Persistent Memory products in its 5th Generation Xeon Emerald Rapids processors, we can once again bid adieu to the technology and welcome upcoming products with CXL support.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/john-wick-director-has-ideas-for-john-wick-5-but-it-may-never-happen/1100-6517350/ John Wick director Chad Stahelski has discussed the future of the John Wick series, everyone who worked on John Wick 4--including himself, Keanu Reeves, and the crew--would love to come back for a fifth film. However, they need to find the right story so fans don't feel ripped off. This story contains major spoilers for the John Wick series. Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Stahelski said Keanu would leap at the opportunity to play John Wick again, but that could be challenging since John Wick died--or at least we think he did--in the fourth movie. "Keanu, if you ask him right now would you do John Wick 5, he'd be like, 'F**k yeah.' But then he'd go, 'Well, what is it? I have no f**king idea,'" Stahelski said. "If I was driving in the car or walking the dog and an idea hit me, within 30 seconds I'd be on the phone to Keanu and we'd be riffing," the director added. Stahelski went on to say that he has ideas for big action set pieces for another John Wick movie, including elements that did not make it into previous films. But all of that being said, Stahelski wants to make sure a fifth John Wick movie lives up to what fans want. "You wouldn't find anybody involved with John Wick that wouldn't want to do another," Stahleski said. "I don't think there's any reason to bring John Wick back without a real reason." "Most of the audience would love to see Keanu back, they just don't want to be treated like they're idiots. They don't want to be treated like hey give me your $14 and we'll bring back the guy and he'll shoot more people in the head," he added. "I'm part of the audience, and I would feel ripped off if I did something like that. None of us are opposed to doing John Wick 5. We just don't know how to do it. We're not that smart." Stahelski also said he feels fortunate to be at the helm of such a big and beloved franchise with big studio money and a huge star behind it. "You know why I do more John Wicks? Because I f**king love Keanu and because I f**king love the genre, and I love that they let me do what I want," he said. "I love everything about it. It is an arduous, painstaking, stressful, how-do-I-outdo-myself, how do we not let down the audience, every day stressing... And I love every f**king minute of it." In May, Lionsgate announced that John Wick 5 was in development, but clearly, this was only a high-level reveal considering what Stahelski has said about it. The aim is to create a "regular cadence" of releases, and this includes entries in the core series as well as spin-offs. "Ballerina is the first spin-off that comes out next year. We're in development on three others, including 5 and including television series, The Continental, will be airing soon. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick," Lionsgate said. Ballerina is a spin-off that stars Ana de Armas as an assassin. The Continental, meanwhile, is a TV series that stands as a prequel to the movies. The original plan was to film John Wick 4 and 5 back to back, but Stahelski said he simply didn't have it in him, creatively, to make another one alongside the fourth. As for the new John Wick video game, Lionsgate has said it is "continuing to have those conversations." The company believes there is a "ton of energy" around the prospect of making a John Wick video game. Back in November, Lionsgate said the company believes "there is a big AAA game to be made out of John Wick," and that the company has fielded proposals for it. Mike Bithell released a John Wick game in 2020 called John Wick Hex. This was a strategy game and a prequel to the John Wick universe in terms of its story. John Wick the character has appeared in Fortnite and Payday 2. A VR game called John Wick Chronicles was released in 2017.

https://gamingonphone.com/news/brawl-stars-hypercharge-update-brings-new-brawlers-a-new-item-skins/ With the introduction of the Hypercharge update, Brawl Stars undergoes a significant transformation. The Supers of the Brawlers are elevated to a higher level of potency, injecting more intensity into the gameplay. This update not only amplifies the power of the Brawlers’ Supers but also introduces intricacies that enrich the fundamental gaming dynamics. The strategic panorama of Brawl Stars widens substantially, catering to both novice players and seasoned experts, all of whom are destined to uncover an array of fresh tactical possibilities. Upon reaching Power 11, the Hypercharge mechanism activates. This enhancement endows every Brawler’s Super with a substantial upgrade, complemented by augmented speed and standard attacks. Players can now employ innovative tactics such as drawing adversaries together to inflict immense critical damage or swiftly traversing the terrain to engage opponents with a rapid succession of strikes. The forthcoming month of September will witness six Brawlers becoming Hypercharged, followed by the integration of Hypercharge into additional Brawlers in successive updates. This massive update not only entices new players to delve into the finest rendition of Brawl Stars so far but also provides seasoned players with new avenues for engagement, thereby furnishing a more profound and enriched gaming encounter than ever before. Brawl Stars Hypercharge Update: New Brawlers Here are the new brawlers coming to Brawl Star: Pearl (Chromatic) Trait: Heat Heat increases slowly over time, the hotter Pearl gets, the more damage she deals Attack: Hot Cookies Rapid fire hot cookies directly from the oven, damaging enemies on hit while slightly cooling the oven and lowering the amount of Heat Super: Let out Some Steam Release all the Heat in an explosion, destroying the environment, knocking back enemies, and damaging enemies around Pearl Gadget: Overcooked Pearl’s next basic attack shoot cookies on fire, dealing extra damage over time Gadget: Made with Love Pearl’s next basic attack shoots perfectly baked and still warm cookies, healing allies over time.

Chuck’s Super also steals 33% of ammo from his enemies while dashing over them Brawl Stars introduces Hypercharge, a game-changing power booster Hypercharge presents itself as a novel element accessible upon reaching Power Level 11, designed to bestow augmented potency upon a Brawler, albeit momentarily, and simultaneously transmute their Super into a more formidable iteration. The mechanism of Hypercharge’s accumulation mirrors that of a conventional Super, albeit at a more gradual pace. Subsequently, once the Hypercharge gauge is full, activation is as simple as pressing the newly integrated Hypercharge button. This action triggers a fiery and electric aura that enshrouds the Brawler, effectively initiating the Hypercharge status. The inaugural recipients of the Hypercharge capability encompass Shelly, Colt, Bull, Spike, Jacky, and Pearl. These Brawlers are set to receive their Hypercharge potential at staggered intervals over the weeks subsequent to the update’s deployment. Here’s what Hypercharges will do for each Brawler: Shelly: Double Barrel Shelly’s Super is 33% larger. Speed +25%, Damage +25%, +15% Shield Colt: Dual Wielding Colt’s Super is 120% wider Speed +30%, Damage +30%, +10% Shield Spike: Blooming Season Spike’s Super has a 20% larger area.

https://www.pcgamer.com/starfield-boundary-reached-leak-leaves-some-worried-bethesdas-planets-have-more-limits-than-anticipated/ "Boundary reached," reads an in-game Starfield text box that circulated online over the weekend. "Open the map to explore another region, or return to your ship." The biggest game of the year is springing leaks just days before release, the latest of which is creating some uncertainty about one of its most anticipated features: planet exploration. As collated by Kotaku, a "boundary reached" message appeared in leaked Starfield gameplay videos from both YouTube and a Chinese forum post that appeared over the weekend, both since removed but surviving via archive, seemingly indicating that Starfield's planets aren't one continuous open world. In a timelapse video, the player runs in a single direction on a planet for 10 minutes before reaching an invisible boundary. Possible restrictions on planet map sizes came as a surprise to fans who expected Bethesda's boundless RPG to work more or less like No Man's Sky, a space exploration game that continuously renders planets in their entirety as you walk or fly around them. We've known all along that Starfield's exploration would have some limits, like how won't be able to fly your ship manually into a planet's atmosphere to land, but Bethesda hasn't been as specific about on-foot travel in official presentations. We know from June's Starfield Direct that you can select a spot anywhere on a planet and land there. That's not necessarily contradicted by the "boundary reached" message, but it may indicate the game can only load the planet you're currently on in chunks. That's not how I assumed it'd work when Todd Howard said you can go anywhere in Starfield, but it would be par for the course for past Bethesda RPGs that load every time you enter a reasonably large building. The supposed limitation does, however, contradict an August 21 tweet reply from Bethesda's Pete Hines indicating you can explore a whole planet after landing. Reactions around the leak are a mix of disappointment and acceptance, as well as skepticism that the leaks tell the whole story. One Steam thread with almost 200 comments includes several users wondering if people are misinterpreting the "boundary reached" message. "The photo floating around about the border was also during the tutorial period of the game. Bethesda has already stated the game opens up much more after the tutorial," wrote user Tyrael. "The more I look into it the worse it is, so there are invisible ways and you are forced to go back to your ship to move to different 'chunks,'" wrote the thread's OP Andrien. "The scope of the planets, and this game, are too massive to worry about how far I'm tethered to my ship. I have more important things to worry about than to measure how many football fields I can run from point A to point B once exiting my ship," wrote user katzenkrimis. I can relate to that. While some have been quick to speculate that Starfield is on a collision course with the same "expectations vs reality" kerfuffle that No Man's Sky experienced at launch, it's worth considering that walking continuously across a thousand barren-looking planets may not be all that interesting in the first place. I always thought I'd do more aimless exploration in No Man's Sky, but more often than not I'd land in a spot, wander for a few hundred meters, then fly somewhere else. Still, it always felt really cool that I could just keep on walking, if I wanted to, until I did a lap around the planet and ended up back at my ship. It won't be long before we know for sure how it all works. Starfield officially releases on September 6, but those who pre-ordered the $100 premium edition can start playing as early as this Thursday evening, August 31.
