Adeya wasn't kidding about the Sewer's monsters mostly attacking in waves. I'm not sure what to make of it, but after we clear the Root Acolytes, we aren't bothered by monsters again for a while—long enough, in fact, that we have time to make it to the next valve chamber.

“It turns out that the costs would be nearly five times greater than the savings.”
The Trump administration’s attempts to gut 12 energy efficiency standards could cost Americans billions of dollars in higher electricity bills.
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that it plans to rollback dozens of policies in what it called its “largest deregulatory effort in history.” While the DOE claims that getting rid of “burdensome and costly” rules would save $11 billion, that doesn’t
The thought was there, if only breifly.
Google didn’t want to give publishers the choice to keep their content out of AI Search results because it’s “evolving into a space for monetisation.” That’s according to a newly disclosed internal document spotted by Bloomberg, which reveals that Google had discussed offering publishers more granular control over how website data would be used in AI Search features instead of the illusion of choice they eventually received.

Luminar laid off 30 percent of employees last year.
Luminar, a company that develops lidar systems for autonomous vehicles, started laying off workers just one day after its founder and CEO, Austin Russell, abruptly resigned. In a regulatory filing spotted by TechCrunch, the company said it began carrying out restructuring efforts on May 15th, which include a “reduction in its workforce.”

LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world
Guy Edward Bartkus is the sole suspect in the bomb attack at a Palm Springs fertility clinic last Saturday. In the years leading up to the incident, his life was touched by family acrimony and a keen interest in explosives.

Imagine my surprise reading this on the LA Times this morning (emphasis mine):
“I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form ofremoved,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely...”
Here is an archive of the article.
Here is his account.
It looks like he only stayed on Lemmy for about a month, most likely a temporary Reddit exile with the earliest exodus on June 2023. The article mentions threads on Reddit but doesn't provide any quotes from there. User IndictEvolution on Reddit deleted their account, and the article makes it sound like they are referring to a different username that they don't specify.
Xbox Game Pass is adding yet another show-stopping role-playing game to its catalog with Metaphor: ReFantazio, arriving on the service on May 29.

Eric Adams and crypto whales demand that New York stop regulating crypto licenses
“We’re giving sanctuary to immigrants – we can give sanctuary to crypto companies.”
At a "crypto summit" on Tuesday held by Eric Adams - the controversial mayor of New York City who recently escaped several federal corruption charges - crypto CEOs and investors made an open plea: please get rid of state crypto regulations so we can write our own and turn the Big Apple into a "crypto sanctuary city."
This was, in fact, Adams's goal for the summit. "I smell money, crypto, crypto, blockchain, and all the good things," he told reporters at a press conference right before the private event began.
As of now, crypto companies can only do business in New York state if they acquire a BitLicense from state financial regulators,
Lane allegedly attempted to extort PowerSchool for billions.
A 19-year-old college student will plead guilty to carrying out a massive hack against PowerSchool, a popular student information system used by schools around the country. On Tuesday, the Department of Justice said Matthew Lane of Massachusetts agreed to plead guilty to four counts, including cyber extortion, unauthorized access to protected computers, and aggravated identity theft.
Though the DOJ doesn’t identify PowerSchool by name, the details outlined by the DOJ line up with the attack, such as the [hacker’s threat to leak](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/powerschool-hac

Exclusive: Hacker who breached communications app used by Trump aide stole data from across US government
A hacker who breached the communications service used by former Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz earlier this month intercepted messages from a broader swathe of American officials than has previously been reported, according to a Reuters review, potentially raising the stakes of a breach that has already drawn questions about data security in the Trump administration.
Reuters identified more than 60 unique government users of the messaging platform TeleMessage in a cache of leaked data provided by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a U.S. nonprofit whose stated mission is to archive hacked and leaked documents in the public interest. The trove included material from disaster responders, customs officials, several U.S. diplomatic staffers, at least one White House staffer and members of the Secret Service. The messages reviewed by Reuters covered a roughly day-long period of time ending on May 4, and many of them were fragmentary.

If a conservative company like Disney is experimenting with video game AI, other developers will surely follow
When Disney initially invested $1.5 billion in Epic Games, a shape for the partnership seemed easy to trace. Surely, Fortnite would get lux branded skins alongside superhero-themed seasonal events, all tied to the release of major Marvel movies. Perhaps we’d see the digital equivalent of a Disney theme park? Nobody would have guessed that the deal would end up producing a slur-wielding AI of Darth Vader – much less that he might portend the future of the gaming industry at large.
AI was always coming for the world of video games, of course. Over the last few years, the fruit of AI has bec

If you love titles that make originality and madness their hallmarks, we have no doubt that you will love Deliver At All Costs. The debut from Studio Far Out Games is an action title as fun as it is absurd, capable of combining unpredictable situations with a mysterious story, against the backdrop of a setting to be torn to shreds thanks to incredible interactivity. It is a product prou
Ubisoft is gearing up for a new Rayman experience
Ubisoft appears to be bringing Rayman back in a new AAA experience, based on job listings that call for talent to join the development team. Studio Ubisoft Milan recently posted job listings searching for a 3D gameplay animator and a senior game designer to be “involved in the production of a prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand.”
It’s unclear whether the “prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand” description denotes a stand-alone Rayman game or a crossover title, à la Mario + Rabbids, a spinoff of the Rayman franchise. Polygon has contacted Ubisoft for comment regarding the new Rayman game, and will update when the company responds.
One job listing says that the [3D gameplay animator](https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/compa
