I thought my TV's sound problems were unfixable until I found this little gadget

I love my TV, but it has one big problem. It’s old, and old TVs don’t always have the most up-to-date features, which can wreak havoc on a modern home theater system. In my case, my trustyLG OLED E6, from 2016, doesn’t haveeARC capabilities, and it can’t pass through high-end audio formats like DTS:X or the now-common Dolby Atmos to mySonos Arcsoundbar. Thankfully, one enterprising company set out to fix this problem, with Sonos owners particularly in mind....

Multiversus Poised to Usher in a New Era for Platform Fighters

The Super Smash Bros. franchise has become something that went from a fun side project on the N64 to its own sub-genre of fighting game. The platform fighter has led developers to create games that did their best to create a Smash-like experience for many years - with varying results. Games like the Melee developer-led TMNT Smash-Up did a good job, but didn’t have enough content to provide long-term fun, while games like the recent Nickelodeon Brawl worked in theory at providing a platform fighter with the license, but lacked the heart that made Smash so endearing....

Even in the indie game scene, which tends to thrive on tributes to classic games, people seemingly wouldn’t dare even make something that even suggested that they would be trying to dethrone the king. But now we have the likes ofCassette Beasts, Moonstone Island, Temtemand more available for alternatives to Nintendo’s creature-collecting games, with more on the way....
