Pope Leo XIV declares teen internet star ‘God’s influencer’ and first millennial saint

by admin



A tech-savvy teen who died in 2006 has been named the first-ever millennial saint by Pope Leo XIV, who dubbed the late British-Italian internet star ‘God’s influencer.’

Carlo Acutis died at 15 years old, but his legacy lives on thanks to Pope Leo’s canonization of him as a saint nearly two decades after his death.

Growing up in the 90s and 2000s, Acutis developed an intense interest in video games and computers, even teaching himself how to program and create websites.

He used this passion for technology to make web pages for his school and parish, most notably building a site that documented “Eucharistic miracles” and supposed apparitions of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

Focolare MediaCarlo Acutis was 15 years old when he died in 2006. Now, nearly 20 years later, he has been canonized as the first millennial saint.

After turning 15, Acutis was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia, a type of cancer that affects the body’s white blood cells. He died from this condition mere days after being diagnosed when his parents took him to the hospital for a sore throat.

Teen gamer becomes ‘God’s first influencer’ & millennial saint

In the years since his death, Acutis has been revered by the Catholic community for using his early adoption of technology and the internet to catechize users about the faith — and in 2025, newly-appointed Pope Leo XIV officially canonized him as a saint.

“The greatest risk in life is to waste it outside of God’s plan,” Leo said in his September 7 address, saying that new saints “are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces.”

Speaking to PBS, 27-year-old Roman citizen Leopoldo Antimi echoed the sentiments of other Italian Catholics regarding Acutis’ legacy.

“I learned from different people what his professors, his teachers said about his joy and the light he carried around him,” he told the outlet. “So for me personally as an Italian, even on social networks that are used so much, it is important to have him as an influencer.”

This is the latest moment from Pope Leo XIV to go viral following his induction to the Papacy earlier in 2025, during which it was revealed he is related to Justin Bieber, Madonna, and even Angelina Jolie, on top of being the first American Pope to hold the office.

Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 launch on Game-Key Card was down to performance, not cost

Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 launch on Game-Key Card was down to performance, not cost

by admin


Star Wars Outlaws made its Nintendo Switch 2 debut last week, but rather than releasing the game on a physical cartridge Ubisoft opted for the Game-Key Card.

No data is stored in this card – instead it includes a digital license that requires the full game to be downloaded to the console’s internal storage to play.

Ubisoft’s decision to put Outlaws on a Game-Key Card became a topic of discussion on social media, with Digital Foundry’s John Linnerman pondering whether it was to do with the cost of manufacturing the Switch 2’s 64GB cartridge.

In response, Ubisoft audio architect Rob Bantin said the Switch 2 cards “simply don’t give the performance” needed to run the developer’s engine Snowdrop.

“Snowdrop relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments, and we found the Switch 2 cards simply don’t give the performance we needed at the quality target we were going for”, Bantin wrote.

“I don’t recall the cost of the cards ever entering the discussion – probably because it was moot.”

They continued: “I think if we’d designed a game for Switch 2 from the ground up, it might have been different. As it was, we’d build a game around the SSDs of the initial target platforms (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC), and then the Switch 2 came along a while later.

“In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”

Overall, Nintendo’s decision to introduce Game-Key Cards has been a controversial one. Especially when it comes to game preservation, as many are concerned that these cards will be dependent on servers supporting them.

Once those servers are turned off, as happened with the Wii U and 3DS eShops, these games may become unplayable. You can read more about developers’ concerns with Game-Key Cards and game preservation here.

Star Wars Outlaws’ Switch 2 Game Key Card Is Due To Tech Issues

by admin


The Switch 2’s game key cards have proven a source of extreme consternation since the launch of Nintendo’s latest console. Physical carts in plastic boxes that don’t actually contain the game at all, making a mockery of game preservation and the entire purpose of owning a physical copy of your game. The reason for their use is usually presumed to be cost, given how expensive a 64GB Switch card is for a publisher (apparently $23 each!), and that Nintendo right now is not offering a smaller option to publishers. However, in the case of Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws it seems it’s due to a more significant weakness of the Switch 2.

So far, tech geeks are super-impressed with how Ubisoft has managed to get such a large, complex open-world game working on the handheld console. As much of a step up from the original Switch as the Switch 2 might be, it’s still not exactly cutting-edge technology, and the requirements to be able to run on a handheld device can be restrictive. So great work by all involved! However, Outlaws has become yet another entry in the very long list of games releasing with nothing but a game key on an otherwise blank cart, and understandably people are narked about spending $60 to buy a pile of empty plastic.

More than anything else, it’s the knowledge that Nintendo absolutely will one day switch off the eStore that processes the keys to allow the games to be downloaded. As with every previous generation of digital store, the servers will go away, and the purchased games will disappear into the ether. This leaves people either looking at emulation (which Nintendo deeply loathes), or re-buying the same game again when it’s released as a “Classic” download on the newer device (where, hilariously, Nintendo makes it available via emulation). This all enormously sucks. So yes, one day your copy of Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 will be nothing but a very bad-tasting SD card.

Except, it seems in this particular instance this isn’t an act of cost-cutting on a premium-price game. (For whatever reason, Nintendo has only offered 64GB cards for the Switch 2, driving up production costs and encouraging many to resort to key cards instead.) However, according to Rob Bantin (thanks Nintendo Life), the audio architect on Outlaws‘ engine Snowdrop, it’s because the streaming speeds between the Switch 2 carts and the console just aren’t fast enough to run the game properly. And that seems like it could be a big deal.

Digital Foundry‘s John Linneman posted on BlueSky to report how impressed he was with the port, reposting VGC‘s video about the tech, adding that DF has its own video on the way. Others replied, one person pointing out that the game is somehow only 20.2GB, but another expressing disdain that it’s a key card. After a bit of back and forth, Rob Bantin entered the conversation and revealed all.

“Snowdrop relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments,” said Bantin. “And we found the Switch 2 cards simply didn’t give the performance we needed at the quality target we were going for.” In other words, the game needs to be fully installed on the console’s SSD drive to be able to run properly. The audio architect continued, “I don’t recall the cost of the cards ever entering the discussion – probably because it was moot.”

It’s hard to know how big of an issue this is going to be for the Switch 2 over the next seven or eight years of its likely life, but given a 2024 port can’t run off the card because of speed limitations, other larger, open-world games could share some similar issues. We’re talking about games releasing in 2030 after all. However, Bantin offers some optimism. “I think if we designed a game for Switch 2 from the ground up it might have been different,” they added. “As it was, we’d build [sic] a game around the SSDs of the initial target platforms, and then the Switch 2 came along a while later. In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”

We’re stepping beyond my nerdy understanding here, but from my research the Switch 2 cards are limited to 400MB/s transfer rates, while the Switch 2’s SSD can offer close to 900MB/s. So that’s a obviously a significant difference. However, it’s crucial to note that Cyberpunk 2077 runs from its game card at 400MB/s, and there are few complaints there. So if games are intentionally designed for the Switch 2’s card limitations, this might not be a frequent issue? But, again, it does mean that releasing a cross-platform game could require a huge amount of heavy lifting to make a version that runs from a card, when the PlayStation, Xbox and PC versions will all be installing to SSD. (Why Nintendo doesn’t allow SSD installation from game cards is another massive question, and seemingly a very obvious solution.) And, let’s not forget, the Switch 2 will be overlapping the second half of its life with the inevitable PlayStation 6 and Xbox Series 2.

It’s all a pretty pickle for developers looking to release big games on the Switch 2, without pissing off audiences and rendering their games ethereal.

Star Wars Outlaws dev comes out with first actually good reason for using Switch 2’s controversial Game Key Cards

by admin


Many of us have a few things to say about the Nintendo Switch 2’s controversial game key cards, which don’t actually contain game data, and instead trigger a download from the Nintendo eShop when they are popped into the device. However, developer Rob Bantin, who is an audio architect on Ubisoft’s game engine Snowdrop, has revealed why the studio opted for key cards when it came to Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2.

In a reply to Digital Foundry’s John Linneman about Star Wars Outlaws’ use of key cards and whether or not cost was a factor, Bantin explained that full-fat cards “simply didn’t give the performance we needed at the quality target we were going for”.

Bantin noted the Snowdrop engine “relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments”, adding they “don’t recall the cost of the cards ever entering the discussion – probably because it was moot”.

The developer said had Star Wars Outlaws been designed for Nintendo’s Switch 2 console from the beginning, things may have been different. “As it was, we’d build a game around the SSDs of the initial target platforms, and then the Switch 2 came along a while later,” Bantin said.

“In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”

Many third party developers have also opted for key cards for their own Switch 2 release. One high profile outlier was CDPR, which released Cyberpunk 2077 as a physical game cartridge with the actual game on it. Last month, it was revealed that out of all Cyberpunk 2077’s Switch 2 sales in June, over 75 percent were physical.

Amazon’s Tomb Raider adaptation to begin production in January 2026, Sophie Turner to star as Lara Croft

by admin


Production on Amazon’s Tomb Raider series will begin on January 19, 2026, with Sophie Turner confirmed to star as Lara Croft.

As Variety reports, the adaptation is helmed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge alongside Wayward Pines creator Chad Hodge. Waller-Bridge will also serve as creator, writer, and executive producer.

Shōgun director Jonathan van Tulleken is also attached to direct the series, as well as executive produce.

“I’m so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team,” said Waller-Bridge.

“It’s not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is.”

Turner added: “I’m thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She’s such an iconic character, who means so much to many – and I’m giving everything I’ve got.

“They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina [Jolie] and Alicia [Vikander] with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands.”

Amazon MGM Studios greenlit Waller-Bridge’s Tomb Raider series in May 2024. Crystal Dynamics will serve as a producer and executive producer, alongside Story Kitchen and Waller-Bridge’s Wells Street Productions.

Lego Reveals Its Most Expensive Set Ever: A $1,000 Death Star

Lego Reveals Its Most Expensive Set Ever: A $1,000 Death Star

by admin


After rumors and leaks, Lego has officially released all the information on its upcoming Death Star diorama set. And yes, the rumors are true, Lego’s next big Star Wars set will cost an eye-watering $1,000, making it the most expensive set in the company’s history when it goes on sale in October.

Officially known as (deep breath) the LEGO® Star Wars™ Death Star™ – Ultimate Collector Series (75419), this new Death Star set is nearly 2 feet tall and over a foot wide. The big diorama contains over 9,000 Lego pieces and an astonishing 38 Star Wars minifigs. Yowza, that’s a lot of characters! Lego even tossed in a Stormtrooper wearing swimtrunks as a nod to the Lego Star Wars games and the famous hot tub Easter Egg. Other characters include Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Wulf Yularen, The Emperor, and various versions of Luke Skywalker.

Lego / Lucasfilm

The large set contains multiple rooms that are each based on moments from the movies. It is a bit weird to see the famous trash compactor scene from A New Hope recreated in the same Death Star build that features Luke and Darth Vader fighting in the throne room from Return of the Jedi. I’ll just ignore these discrepancies and enjoy the massive set for what it is: A cool assortment of famous Star Wars moments contained inside a very expensive collection of plastic bricks.

If you want to buy the Lego Death Star set, well first off, you’ll need $1,000. Once you have that, congrats. If you are a Lego Insider member, you’ll be able to order the Death Star set starting on October 1. Everyone else has to wait until October 4. And if you buy the set before October 8, you’ll get a Lego Star Wars TIE Fighter set as an additional gift with purchase. The TIE Fighter can be built and slotted into the Death Star set.

I’m a big Star Wars nerd and Lego sicko, but I won’t be buying the Death Star set because I can’t in good conscience spend that much money on a single Lego set. I have too many other problems and things in my life that I could use that money on instead. Still, I’ll be curious to see how well this Death Star set sells in October. $1,000 is a hefty price tag and this set seems like Lego testing just how much money they can squeeze from collectors and fans using the power of nostalgia and exclusive minifigs. If it succeeds, I expect a few more $1,000 sets in the future.

Star Trucker's anniversary update adds wheel and joystick support to the space lorry sim, plus speed cameras
Game Updates

Star Trucker’s anniversary update adds wheel and joystick support to the space lorry sim, plus speed cameras

by admin


Star Trucker, Raw Fury’s answer to what Euro Truck Simulator might look like in the year 3000, is now a year old, and has celebrated that fact with an update that finally lets you whip out your wheel and pedals.

Ever since I gave it a go with a controller prior to letting my Game Pass subscription crumble into dust, this is a day I’ve yearned for. After all, what good are truck sims, be they Euro, American or something more Snowrunnery, if you’re not operating the controls of your great metal haulage beast by flicking flappy gearbox paddles, or sawing away at a circle clearly designed for something a bit sportier?

That’s what this anniversary update for the interstellar hauler delivers, with wheels like the Thrustmaster T128 and flight sticks like VKB’s Gladiator NXT EVO being early additions to the devs’ handy tracking sheet of tested peripherals. There’s also a guide and FAQ rundown from Raw Fury to help folks get their hardware up, running, and fully bound to all the inputs space trucking requires.

Gear recognised by the game should set itself up with default bindings automatically, but I usually find creating my own basic set of essential buttons not that time-consuming, as long as the game wants to acknowledge your wheel exists. Just remember to bind a pause button, and stick the handbrake somewhere your finger can easily hold it when you want to see if your rig can finish a delivery with a 10/10 skid.

As a counterweight to all the wheel and pedal lorry mischief I planned the minute I clocked this update, it also comes with new speed checks. Yep, cameras, fines, the works. These camera checkpoints along the trails of the galaxy will even show you what speed you’re doing as you pass them, though the notes don’t mention if you get shown a little smiley face for not blasting through a Jupiter school zone at 120mph. You can also disable these checks via the settings, if the threat of having to attend a speeding course with the crowd from the Mos Eisley cantina is just too much.

Aside from that, there are a couple of updates to trailers, and a couple of optional truck goodies to commemorate the game’s first birthday. The latter includes a hologrammatic image of a cake you can display in your cab. Just remember to eat plenty before your next long haul.

If you’ve not given Star Trucker a go, our Nic dubbed it “a game that’s much more about the ‘trucker’ of it all than the stars, but the trucker of it all really does shine” in his review, writing:

When you exit the airlock to patch up hull breaches, little white spanner icons mark the offending damage. The symbol that marks the airlock to return to your truck is a home. I noticed it early, and then I kept noticing it. The more I did, the more perfect it felt.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to oversteer that home into an asteroid belt.

Help a spaceship give birth before it collides with a star in Ultrasound

by admin



How are you feeling today? Relatively untroubled by visions of squirming, organic gunk clogging your vessel’s exhaust ports as you fall steadily toward an enormous ball of fire? We’ll see about that.

I’m here to tell you about Ultrasound, in which you are stranded aboard a spacecraft that has been colonised by growths of the Gigery persuasion. If you don’t purge critical systems pronto, you’re going to end up the wrong side of a photosphere. Here’s a trailer.

Watch on YouTube


“Use an ultrasound machine to diagnose and do surgery on a grotesque infection spreading aboard a space freighter,” explains the Steam page. “Craft meds, upgrade your machine, find new surgical tools, and restore ship systems before you collide with a star. Soon, something will be born.”

This sounds like the unsexy edition of Erostasis. You’ll need to craft medicines to thwart spreading growths, and free up navigation and life support before it’s too late. There are several endings to unlock, and I’m guessing the majority are not pleasant.

Ultrasound might seem like a gross-out game with a gimmick, but it has a serious core. It’s “being developed by two new fathers – Walter Woods (Lead Developer) and Jason Scalfano (Lead Artist) – and is inspired by their respective tragic and joyful paths to parenthood,” as the press release explains.

“So many of us know the hope and horror of the ultrasound machine,” the developers write. “The mystery. The ambiguity. The flickering image of life and death. We hope our game captures these difficult feelings and resonates with players.”


I respect the sincerity here. That said, given that there appear to be notes of memoir at work, I would quite like to know if the mothers of Woods and Scalfano’s children had any say on the game’s portrayal of pregnancy as body horror. They are not mentioned anywhere in the press materials. Ultrasound is out “soon”.

Check Out This Lego Star Wars AT-ST UCS Bundle Deal Before It’s Gone

by admin



As part of Walmart’s Bricktember Sale, Star Wars fans can get Lego’s Darth Vader Helmet display model for only $10 with the purchase of the AT-ST Walker Ultimate Collector Series. The AT-ST Walker launched August 1 for $200, and Walmart’s bundle deal is $210. This deal has already sold out once since Walmart’s big Lego promotion started September 1, and the retailer only had a few remaining at the time of writing on September 2.

It’s one of four Lego Star Wars bundle deals available exclusively at Walmart. The Darth Vader Helmet is also featured in a bundle with the new Kylo Ren Lego Helmet for $99.

Lego Star Wars 2-in-1 Bundles at Walmart

Walmart also has an exclusive Lego Star Wars 3-in-1 Gift Set featuring a bunch of minifigures and droids for $45.

Updated on September 2

Editor’s Note: You can read our original story from August 1 below, but prices and deals listed below may no longer be accurate.

Lego launched nine new Star Wars playsets and display models on August 1, including the latest Ultimate Collector Series build for adults. The 1,513-piece, highly detailed recreation of the AT-ST Walker transport vehicle costs $200, which makes it the cheapest member in the exclusive UCS club in print today.

The AT-ST Walker UCS was revealed in early July, but preorders were only ever available at Amazon. Now that launch day has arrived, you can grab the AT-ST Walker at Walmart, Target, Lego Store, and Best Buy. It’s also worth noting that Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship, the UCS build for Star Wars Day this year, is no longer exclusive to the Lego Store. The 2,970-piece model from Attack of the Clones is up for grabs for $300 at Amazon.

Lego Star Wars New Sets (August 1)

$200

The All Terrain Scout Transport, better known as AT-ST, has been part of the Star Wars movie universe since The Empire Strikes Back. The 1,513-piece building set creates a detailed replica that looks quite similar to the AT-ST from Return of the Jedi.

The completed build measures 14.5 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches and has multiple interactive components, including an openable top hatch covering the cockpit, a rotating head, viewport shutters, and adjustable laser cannons. The AT-ST is well-known for its unique gait that resembles a chicken. Lego’s AT-ST has articulated legs, so you can move it around like a real chicken walker.

As an Ultimate Collector Series set, this AT-ST has a myriad of small details that you won’t find on transport walkers in Lego’s playsets. The spacious two-person cockpit has finer details that make it more aligned with its appearance in the movies. UCS builds also take a more thoughtful approach when it comes to layering and visible studs, and the promotional images reflect that here. The build process is generally more complex with an Ultimate Collector Series set, so the AT-ST and UCS sets are recommended for experienced builders ages 18 and up.

Like all UCS Star Wars builds and other large-scale display models, the AT-ST comes with an information plaque and a minifigure. Appropriately, the minifigure for this kit is an AT-ST Driver.

Lego Star Wars: AT-ST UCS 75417

The rest of the kits in Lego’s August lineup are marketed toward younger Star Wars fans, but adult builders will probably be interested in at least two of the large buildable character figures. Lego designed an adorable 1,010-piece Wicket the Ewok model from Return of the Jedi and an 845-piece K-2SO Security Droid from Rogue One.

Technically, there’s a 10th new set, as two of them are also available in a discounted bundle called the Epic Battle Set, which comes with a bonus miniature Millennium Falcon (Lego Polybag). Speaking of bundles, Walmart released an exclusive 3-in-1 Lego Star Wars Gift Set this week for $45, and it’s likely to sell out fast.

The new AT-ST is actually the second in Lego’s Ultimate Collector Series. The first one released back in 2006 and has been retired for many years at this point. The upcoming model is far more detailed, partially because it has roughly 500 additional pieces, but also simply because Lego has upped its game over time.

As mentioned, the $200 AT-ST Walker is currently the most affordable set in the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. There are a few others available for under $250, including the TIE Interceptor Starfighter, X-Wing Starfighter, and Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder.

  • AT-ST Walker (1,513 pieces) — $200
  • Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship (2,970 pieces) — $300
  • TIE Interceptor Starfighter (1,931 pieces) — $230
  • Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder (1,890 pieces) — $240
  • X-Wing Starfighter (1,949 pieces) — $240
  • Jabba’s Sail Barge (3,942 pieces) — $500
  • The Mandalorian’s Razor Crest Starship (6,187 pieces) — $600
  • Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser (5,374 pieces) — $630 ($650)
  • Millennium Falcon (7,541 pieces) — $815 ($850)
  • AT-AT Walker (6,785 pieces) — $1,148 (MSRP was $850)

Bitcoin Blockbuster? ‘Killing Satoshi’ Film to Star Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson

by admin



In brief

  • A feature film called “Killing Satoshi” is being directed by Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity”).
  • Set to release in 2026, the movie will star Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson.
  • The thriller will focus on the creation of Bitcoin and the identity of its mysterious creator.

Documentaries have so far failed to identify Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, convincingly.

Now, an upcoming feature film from notable Hollywood creatives aims to put a dramatic spin on the crypto’s creation and impact.

Hollywood is turning its lens towards crypto with “Killing Satoshi,” a conspiracy thriller that will explore the secret identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Director Doug Liman, known for “The Bourne Identity,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” and “Swingers,” will helm the project starring Oscar winner Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, according to a report from Variety.

The film’s screenplay, written by Nick Schenk—who previously collaborated with Clint Eastwood on “Gran Torino” and “The Mule”—traces what’s described as an elite cabal’s efforts to prevent the truth from surfacing.



“I love David and Goliath stories,” Liman told Variety. “‘Killing Satoshi’ follows unlikely antiheroes taking on the most powerful people on the planet in an epic battle that strikes at the core of what is money and who controls it.”

The film is being produced by Ryan Kavanaugh, the former Relativity Media CEO who financed films including “The Social Network” and “The Fighter” before his studio filed for bankruptcy in 2015.

Kavanaugh, who once planned to launch a token called Proxicoin to help fund film projects, is producing the film alongside Lawrence Grey and Shane Valdez.

“This is not just a movie about Bitcoin and its elusive and mysterious origins, but really about what it stands for,” Kavanaugh told Variety. “We look at this film much the same way as we did with ‘Social Network’ and its examination of Facebook.”

The film is set to begin production in October in London, with an expected 2026 release date.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation, which launched in 2009, birthed the nearly $4 trillion crypto industry, though the Bitcoin founder disappeared from the internet in 2011.

He’s potentially sitting on a massive trove of Bitcoin. Wallets connected to Satoshi hold about 1.1 million BTC, or approximately $122 billion, in today’s prices.
