There are less than two full work weeks remaining in 2019, and it’s likely you haven’t taken all of your vacation days. But though you may be uneasy about taking time to unwind, “it’s important to use vacation days, because they’re there for a reason,” says Vicki Salemi, career expert for Monster.

We finally have the first-ever official PlayStation 5 game with Godfall. Created by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox, the third-person action-adventure game is confirmed to release for PS5 and PC via the Epic Games Store. Sony didn’t go as far as revealing the PlayStation 5 on stage, but we got to see the first official PS5 game with Godfall. Later will be done through the Epic Games Store. That makes sense since Godfall is published by Gearbox who recently released their own game Bord

For those who want a relaxing “other life” experience, real-life simulation games are an outlet of low-stakes relaxation.

With an endless amount of simulation games available, with new additions popping up, it can hard to know what to play. Here are the best real-life simulation games. 5 Animal Crossing: New Leaf (88)The fourth iteration in the series, it makes sense that the latest h

Just in time for the launch of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (and capitalizing on the ongoing dark mode trend), Facebook has rolled out a new theme for its Messenger app inspired by the dark side of the Force. Unlike most dark modes, this one isn’t intended to conserve battery life or relieve eye strain; it’s just for fun. In addition to a star-scattered wallpaper, you get a set of Star Wars emoji, cartoon stickers, and augmented reality filters to liven up video calls and selfies. If you’ve

Intel’s next-gen Comet Lake-S desktop processors have been the subject of more online leakage, this time detailing the specs of one of the 10th-gen CPUs – and apparently a finished version of the chip. Note that the result also showed the Core i5-10600 was nestling in an MSI Z490 Pro Carbon WiFi motherboard. So yes, in case you missed this, Comet Lake will require a motherboard upgrade (as it uses a different socket – albeit one of the same size). That would certainly be good for Intel, as it ne

After revealing a Funko Pop, a plushie and some questionable T-shirts, the Baby Yoda phenomenon has now spread to serious Star Wars toys. Baby Yoda – referred to officially as ‘The Child’, because we don’t know the name of Yoda’s species – also comes with his broth bowl, as seen in various memes. There will also be two-packs of 2.2-inch figures of Baby Yoda, under the label of The Bounty Collection, with each doing various things like eating and frolicking. Sick of Baby Yoda yet? Although since

Microsoft has been working hard on overhauling the look of Windows 10, and it’s now unveiled new icons for 100 of its most popular apps. So, while the icons are new, most of them, including icons for Calculator and Command Prompt, are easy to recognise. Friedman has also been admirably candid when talking about the feedback the design team has got from earlier redesigns from Microsoft’s customers – both good and bad. By the time Windows 10X arrives, which is a new version of the operating system

When it comes to portable power, Jackery is one of the best names in the business. The company has been making high-powered portable power stations since 2015, and they’ve only improved upon them each year since then. Jackery offers a few different portable power stations, each of which is targeted at a slightly different end user. The Power Station 240 has two USB outputs, along with a 110V, 200W AC port and a DC port. (Image credit: Jackery)The solar panel can be used in conjunction with the P

Have you ever wanted to play rock, paper, scissors with Samuel L. Jackson? As well as that, you can ask Samuel L. Jackson more personal questions about his career and interests. From there, simply search for ‘Samuel L. Jackson – celebrity voice for Alexa’, and open up the Skill detail page. If you were hoping that you could change your default Alexa voice to Samuel L. Jackson full-time, you’re in for a disappointment – to get started, you need to say “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson”. O

The original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance launched on consoles soon after Baldur’s Gate 2 concluded with Throne of Bhaal, but aside from sharing the same setting it was an entirely different kind of fantasy romp. Next year’s Dark Alliance, the third game in the series, drops Baldur’s Gate from the title and takes the action north. Drizzt and his buds’ adventures have spanned several series, starting with The Crystal Shard, but Dark Alliance is a standalone romp. Dark Alliance has a hub-and-spoke

One of the problems with killer shark stories is that sharks don’t actually kill very many humans. The latest trailer for Tripwire’s shark RPG Maneater, which was shown today at The Game Awards, takes a moment to acknowledge that sharks aren’t normally as bloodthirsty as the game portrays. “Humans kill 100 million sharks every year,” it announces. If the 100 million figure surprises you, it’s true—or, at least, it’s the most commonly cited estimate. Sharks can’t truly get their revenge for human
