It’s been a number of years since we first experienced the fun and frenetic gameplay of Hyper Light Drifter and in 2025, Heart Machine is back with Hyper Light Breaker. Like a lot of games from a somewhat smaller development team, Hyper Light Breaker has an Early Access period which is available for those that want to get some time in before the 1.0 experience goes live. But how long is this Hyper Light Breaker Early Access?

Fancy, what should be at least, an easy 25,000 XP and ticking off a Godzilla quest in Fortnite to boot? Sure you do. Well to bank the XP and complete one of the tasks in the new Godzilla content you are going to need to find some big lizard footprints, but it’s a big old map, and time is money, so let’s direct you right there. How to find Godzilla’s footprint We have already looked at all the quests and rewards in more detail in the new Godzilla event and discovered that there is 25k of juicy experience up for grabs for investigating the giant footprints. Pre this event the area known as Shining Span has now been wiped out and renamed Shattered Span.

Up from the depths, thirty stories high, breathing fire, his head in the sky – is it only me that thinks of that Godzilla and Godzookie cartoon from the 80s every time Godzilla gets mentioned. Everybody else is all about the iconic Gojira movies – not me, I only have that nonsense to add to a conversation.

A New Zealand sheep farmer’s letter about AI doom has resurfaced, 161 years after it was published in a Christchurch-based newspaper. The warning, written by Samuel Butler, has since been spread around on social media as people take in the thoughts of a man well ahead of his time. ‘Darwin among the Machines’ was a letter sent to the editor of ‘The Press’ newspaper and was published on June 13, 1863 under the pseudonym Cellarius. Wow – the question of pausing or stopping AI is over 161 years old pic.twitter.com/MeXgg55PTN — Peter Wildeford

Amazon’s ‘Try Before You Buy’ program which allowed people to try on clothing items for free will be shut down this month, six years after it was first launched. Through the scheme, people can choose up to six items to try on within a seven-day period. They are then only charged for the clothing pieces they decide to keep, and the return process is free. The change has been announced through the program’s page on Amazon, with the service shutting down for good on January 31.

Star Casino, one of the biggest gambling brands in Australia, is in a dire financial situation with mounting reports that the company could be heading for administration.  Operated by Star Entertainment Group, with venues in Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, the casino has been blighted by increasing pressures, with not enough gamblers staking funds leading to a mammoth cash burn of $66 million (AUD 107m) in just three months. In addition to this, Star has been the subject of ongoing investigations in four different states, in relation to money laundering concerns.  The Crown and SkyCity casino companies have also been implicated in these probes.  After decades of business, it appears few will be betting on Star navigating the troubled waters that surround the company at present.  ABC reports it allowed organized crime groups, including triad gangs from Macau, to gain a foothold within its premises, operating gambling activities from its venues.  This has contributed to legal proceedings, with the regulator ASIC alleging Star’s leadership board had “failed to give sufficient focus to the risk of money laundering and criminal associations”. The shadow of ASIC has forced Star to allocate $92.6m (AUD 150m) to a potential, additional financial penalty from the federal AML watchdog, AUSTRAC.  Amid this storm of strife, Star has incredibly been heavily involved in expansion plans, sending the company to the abyss.
