NEW YORK (Reuters) - In the days since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning down a top health insurance executive, more than a thousand donations have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime. In New York, "Wanted" posters with the faces of CEOs have appeared on walls. Websites are selling Mangione merchandise, including hats with "CEO Hunter" printed across a bullseye. And some social media users have swooned over his smile and six-pack abs. Mangione has been charged with murder for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a father of two, in a brazen shooting on Dec. 4 outside a Manhattan hotel before an industry conference, setting off a five-day manhunt for the masked assailant. The crime he is accused of has been broadly condemned, but the Ivy League educated, photogenic 26-year-old has become an unsettling mixture of folk hero, celebrity, and online crush in certain circles. His support has only seemingly intensified since his arrest on Monday. Luigi Mangione was charged with murder - then donations started pouring in

The M4 Mac Mini is a surprisingly powerful little machine, and it's kind of own in my heart for how fast and efficient it can be. It has a surprisingly capable GPU that leaves the competition from Intel and Qualcomm in the dust as far as integrated GPUs go, which, in theory, makes it a great option for lightweight gaming. Of course, there's more to it than raw performance, and the Mac Mini is still a Mac, which means gaming is hindered significantly. But I wanted to know exactly what kind of experience you can expect with gaming on a Mac. I've always heard the horror stories, but this is my first chance to experience it firsthand. So, is gaming on an M4 Mac Mini any closer to the ideal experience? Well, not really. Let's take a closer look. The first and biggest thing to address is how many games you can actually play on the M4 Mac Mini, and the answer is, unfortunately, not that many. This is only anecdotal evidence but my Steam Family library, shared across four people, includes 549 games. Once I filter for games compatible with Mac, that list cuts down to just 97 titles. And that's not specifying games native to Apple Silicon, because, to my knowledge, there's only one in my library: No Man's Sky. The big Apple Silicon games you've probably heard about, like Death Stranding Definitive Edition and Resident Evil Village are only available through the Apple App Store. On Steam, they're not even compatible with macOS at all, meaning I couldn't try them. I've mentioned before that this strategy from Apple to lock in people to its own ecosystem is going to hurt it in the long run in terms of its gaming ambitions. It's also possible that not every game listed as compatible on Steam will actually work. Epic Games notably removed support for macOS in Rocket League a few years ago, but Steam still lets me install it. However, I was completely unable to launch it. It's a pretty major exclusion for me, considering Rocket League is one of my favorite multiplayer games. Right off the bat, this should tell you to avoid macOS for gaming. But what about the games that do work? Let's take a look. I tried gaming on the M4 Mac Mini — here's how it went

Have you ever wished to wipe your memory of a favorite video game so that you could replay it freshly? Well, resetting Steam achievements could allow you to rekindle that excitement. Whether you're planning to revisit an old favorite title, sharing your account with a family member, or chasing an ambitious gaming goal, starting with a clean slate can make the experience feel rewarding again. However, resetting your Steam achievements requires a little bit of work and technical know-how, and there are a few caveats to consider before choosing to reset achievements for certain types of games. If you're interested, the following guide outlines all available methods to reset the Steam achievements for your favorite video game. If you're looking for a list of the best FromSoftware games available on Steam, then look no further. It's worth noting that Steam does not openly advocate mani[CENSORED]tion of game achievements, but it's highly unlikely that you'll receive a VAC for resetting achievements in single player games. However, if you want to be extra cautious, we'd advise against following any of the listed methods to reset achievements on your Steam account. We tested these methods on various single player games, including Red Dead Redemption, The Witcher 3, and Batman Arkham Knight, and we experienced no negative impacts on our Steam account. However, we did not try these methods in multiplayer games or games that connect to the internet. With the disclaimer out of the way, here are two ways you can reset Steam achievements for your favorite games. How To Reset Steam Achievements

The Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro is a gaming smartphone from top to bottom, and as you’ll find out, from front to back as well. But is it still a proper everyday flagship device in addition to being able to provide all the fun gaming stuff when I want it? This was the direction Asus took with the ROG Phone 8 Pro, which ended up being surprisingly sensible, at least compared to the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. I’m very happy to say the ROG Phone 9 Pro continues the trend and has even brought back a little bit of the madness that defined the series in the past in a very unexpected way. Asus toned the look of the ROG Phone series down with the last generation, and it has mostly repeated the same design for the latest model. If you thought Samsung was bad for slightly refining but never really changing the look of its phones, then the ROG Phone 9 Pro will likely make you pretty mad. Thankfully, the company hasn’t entirely abandoned what made previous ROG Phones fun, as there’s a dual-color Mini-LED display on the back, which Asus calls the AniMe Vision display. It shows phone status information like the battery charge, notifications, and the time. We’ll come back to what makes the AniMe display really special in a moment. I reviewed a gaming phone that’s more powerful than my laptop

Monument Valley 3 has just launched as part of Netflix Games, just over a decade since the original game was released. Having enjoyed the first two titles and with an expensive Netflix subscription still draining my bank account balance, I figured I might as well give it a shot. After finishing the game a few hours later, I was pretty torn. Sure, it’s a gorgeous and wonderful game that you should play if you have Netflix, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. It presented so few new ideas compared to the now decade-old original, and the one modernization it does make is unlikely to make a difference. Obviously, there are many things that Monument Valley 3 does well. Like its predecessors, it’s a relaxing audio-visual experience more than a true puzzle game. Every level is wonderfully crafted, with moving bridges and spinning doodads to guide you to the end of each level. Those levels are short, typically taking five minutes or so, with ten levels in total. As you would expect, later levels tend to be longer and more complex, although they never extend beyond the duration of a long trip to the bathroom. I don’t think I need to elaborate more. One of my favorite levels has a kind of papercraft origami vibe, with wonderful textures and mechanics to suit. Sadly that level was on the shorter side and the style was never seen again. As someone who loves papercraft and popup books, I would gladly play an entire game that looks like this. Monument Valley 3 is gorgeous, mind-bending, and outdated

The first gaming handheld to feature one of AMD’s best processors is finally here, but it’s going to be a tough sell. The OneXFly F1 Pro comes with a host of impressive features, from an OLED screen to the powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. It could undoubtedly beat the Steam Deck and various other rivals. The downside? You might as well just buy a gaming laptop, and a good one, too — because this one’s pretty expensive. The OneXFly F1 Pro (first spotted by VideoCardz) is a brand-new gaming handheld made by OneXPlayer, a Chinese company. The mini PC comes with all the bells and whistles you could wish for in a new handheld. There’s a 7-inch 1080p OLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate; LPDDR5X RAM with speeds of up to 7,500MHz; up to 4TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. The most interesting bit is the Ryzen APU, though. OneXPlayer managed to have the first gaming handheld that’s built on AMD’s recent Ryzen AI 300 series. There are six different configurations to choose from, but only two APUs, namely the Ryzen AI 9 365 and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. These are Zen 5 CPUs with built-in RDNA 3.5 graphics, up to the Radeon 890M. The specs are undoubtedly very solid, but the price may be a roadblock for many. Depending on which handheld you want, you might have to pay up to $1,700 for the top configuration that comes with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD. I just checked, and you could easily buy a gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 for that price. Add a couple hundred more and you might score a laptop with an RTX 4080. You could buy a gaming laptop for the price of this AMD handheld

I'm a couple of hours into Ultros and I'm facing my biggest challenge yet. This won't be easy, but let me try to illustrate the scene. I'm trapped somewhere in the bowels of the Metroidvania's colorful labyrinthian sprawl, a setting named The Sarcophagus that's described as a "cosmic uterus holding an ancient, demonic being". I'm staring down a hulking lump of a beast – a bruised and battered oversized fly who's equipped with impenetrable armor and is tearing stalactites from the roof to be used as projectile weapons. Its punctured wings, glowing bright neon green, struggle to lift its body from the ground; and its eyes, beady and fiery orange, shoot devastating purple laser balls that chase me around the battle arena. Pint-sized in comparison, I use the floating 'Extractor' that's tethered to my cherry red duster like a pet on a leash to activate a genre-staple double-jump. I hoist myself onto the boss' back, hammer the attack button, and drain the insect's health by slashing at the pink power source fused to its spine. Filling the high-top sneakers of protagonist Ouji, I think I might be a bug myself – I have elongated features hidden inside a green mask from which antenna protrude – and in order to restore vitality, I munch on things like Pompom Larvae, a resource harvested from enemies felled elsewhere in the wild. Sound weird? Of course it does. But even stranger still, even in the throes of such unhinged and inexplicable chaos, Ultros is always, somehow, super chill.
