Deltarune’s Uninstaller Can Accidentally Delete a Lot More Than the Game
Undertale creator Toby Fox released a free new project, Deltarune yesterday. Fans are scrambling to uncover its secrets, but one strange feature is definitely unintended - the game's uninstaller can accidentally delete the entirety of the folder it's a part of.
Players began noticing the problem yesterday, prompting Fox to tweet a warning:
Hey apparently the uninstaller for DELTARUNE just deletes the entire directory the uninstaller is in. Depending on where you installed it, this could have some consequences. I recommend you don't use the uninstaller.

Dreams Could Be Where a New Generation of Electronic Musicians Get Their Start
I don’t know how to explain Dreams to you. This enigmatic storytelling platform is so expansive it’s hard to pin down. Every time I see it, however, there’s always something that blows my mind, and in a recent demo at PAX Australia, it was audio. Dreams has, is, one of the most fully featured audio interfaces I’ve seen outside of industry standard software.
And the best part is that the demo wasn’t even meant to be focused on audio. My host, game designer and programmer at Media Molecule, Daniel Kidney, had been demoing the game for about 14 hours when I got to him so he was ready to go off script. He asked what I wanted to see. And on a whim, I said audio.
Netflix Is Changing Things Up By Releasing 3 Movies in Theaters Early
Netflix is debuting three of its award-contender movies in theatres before they appear on its streaming service.
Alfonso Cuarón's Oscar-contender Roma will debut in several cinemas across LA, New York City and Mexico on November 21st, three weeks before it appears on Netflix. The Coen Brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs will appear in theatres a week before on November 8, and Susanne Bier's Bird Box will also get a week-long theatrical berth beginning December 13.
The move marks an acknowledgment on behalf of the distributor that the theatrical experience is still important (particularly during awards season), despite past suggestions from Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos to the contrary.
The Flash’s Jesse L. Martin Taking Leave of Absence
Fans of The Flash may have noticed that Joe West hasn't been charging into action much in Season 5, and there's a very good reason.
According to TVLine, Jesse L. Martin "suffered a back injury" over the show's hiatus, and IGN has confirmed that the actor will be taking a leave of absence from the CW series for an undetermined length of time.
Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind The Flash, provided this statement on Martin's status: "Jesse Martin is taking a medical leave of absence from The Flash. We wish him a full and speedy recovery and look forward to his return as Detective Joe West."
Horror Movies by the Decade: A Century of Classics for Halloween
It’s the best time of year, and that means time to watch lots of horror movies. But while there are so many options these days – streaming services, Blu-rays, whatever TCM is airing – you might want to seek out some historic titles, and the “Doctor of the Dead” is here to help with some suggestions that cover an entire century of cinematic horror!
But look, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. Trying to pick just one single horror movie to represent every decade from the 1910s to the present is an impossible task, so – in keeping with the spirit of the season – I’m just going to go with my gut. This list doesn’t invalidate your own picks, nor do I mean to say there aren’t plenty of equally valid options. But we only have so much time together, so let’s get started, and maybe a few of these might inspire you to go on your own Halloween season viewing binges that will last well into November and beyond.
