The European Union is set to issue a formal warning to Elon Musk’s social media platform X for not adequately addressing harmful content. The action against X could result in a fine of up to 6% of the platform’s revenue if X does not address the European Commission’s – the bloc’s regulator – findings.

Flight simulator fans may find themselves in a slightly unique position come November when Microsoft unloads its much more advanced Flight Simulator 2024 onto the world, even though the version that came in 2020 and was promised a 10-year roadmap will still very much be installed on a lot of systems. There will undoubtedly be those that do not make the jump to the new version for many reasons – cost, compatibility, or PC hardware so what if you are one of those people?

If you missed out on having a PlayStation 4 in your life then you also missed out on playing Bloodborne on one, of if not the best, games to come out for the system, but that looks as though it may well change in the near future thanks to a new PS4 emulator for the PC that has managed to get the game booting and get to the character select screen. Everybody loves Bloodborne still, in fact, we covered an Elden Ring mod for it only the other day, but this is different, this is the possibility of getting the actual game running on our gaming rigs, and maybe, just maybe, pretty much perfectly. Emulators are a big deal as we saw from the launch of the revamped Dolphin earlier this week, but the high hardware demands of the more recent consoles can push even the beefiest of PCs way beyond their limits. Now GeorgeMoralis on YouTube has shown off the 0.1.1 version of shadPS4 booting Bloodborne, and while you can’t play the game yet, history tells us that once things start moving they gather speed to the point where everything just works. Shadps4 is already capable of running parts of certain games already and the Github page for the projects proclaims that this latest version with a new shader recompiler says they now have a lot of games that are beginning to work. Getting an emu to work is painstaking stuff and involves so much going backward and forwards to adjust things to trick the game into thinking it is actually running on a PlayStation 4, when it is in fact, very much not doing. This is not the first PlayStation to get the emulation treatment, the emulation of PS1 and PS2 is now getting on for perfect, and while the PS3 took some time due to its slightly weird architecture it is now capable of playing pretty much anything to some degree.

Protestors have organized to provide vocal opposition to Senate Bill SB 549, also known as the Tribal Nations Access to Justice Act.  More than 100 people, including elected representatives and cardroom employees, were present in Sacramento to campaign against the proposed legislation enabling California tribes to sue cardrooms. With the bill currently in the general assembly, the tribes – which were recently courted by gambling giant FanDuel – allege their rights are being violated given that they have exclusivity for Las Vegas-style gambling in The Golden State. Chants could be heard from the protestors which included  “We’re not fine with 549”, while others displayed message banners such as “No on SB 549!” and “Bad Bet For California.” Local politicians, including mayors and civic representatives, made speeches to warn how the bill could damage cardrooms in California and the knock-on effect of hurting jobs in the state. Marcel Rodarte, executive director of California Contracts Cities Association, told the protest, “SB 549 is a bill that will negatively harm many of our cities with cardrooms in their communities.

Well that didn’t take long. Exoprimal, Capcom’s multiplayer shooter starring dinosaurs as the bad guys, is wrapping up its live-service plans just one year after release. In a note posted to the game’s official website, Capcom said Exoprimal would now recycle prior seasons’ content once season 4 ends on July 11. This means the game is still supported, the servers are still on, and all modes of play are available, but it’s not getting anything new.
