How Games Have Changed My Perspective on Parenthood
HEADS-UP: Heavy story spoilers for The Last of Us and the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, plus minor spoilers for the opening of God of War (2018) follow.
One of the reasons people love games is because they allow an escape from our surroundings, to experience the empowerment that comes from taking action with pixel protagonists. Two of my favourite gaming experiences of the last few years, however, did more than that - they helped me reflect on my own life.
Nearing my mid-20s in the early 2010s, I was drawn to two protagonists who exhibited heroic qualities to which I had never given a second thought. When I think back to Lee Everett in Telltale’s The Walking Dead and Joel in The Last of Us, I realise the sacrifices they were willing to make for their unofficially adopted children had illuminated my perspective on parenthood.
Disney to Lose Over $50 Million on Solo: A Star Wars Story
After its second disappointing weekend in a row, Solo: A Star Wars story is set to lose over $50 million during its theatrical run.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Solo could lose $50 million or more after factoring in a budget of over $250 million and a similarly expensive marketing push. As of its second Sunday in theaters, Solo's domestic total has reached $148.9 million and its global run is stagnating at $264.2 million. Its first week in theaters proved to be financially disappointing, but its second week saw a further 65% drop in sales on top of this initial stagnation.
Nintendo Switch eShop Updated to Enhance Game Discovery
The Nintendo Switch eShop has received a bit of a facelift today which comes in the form of some handy new features and a few quality of life improvements. These changes aim to make game discovery a much simpler process on the digital store.
The eShop now has a ‘featured’ section that displays 30 of the most popular new and upcoming releases. The ‘Deals’ section has been changed to ‘Great deals,’ and the Best Sellers section now has an option to switch between ‘All Games’ and ‘Download-Only Games.’
The changes have arrived only a mere day after the release of the latest Switch firmware update, Ver. 5.1.0, which Nintendo just began rolling out yesterday. This update comes as no real surprise, as Nintendo had initially revealed back in March that it's looking to make discovering new games on the eShop a much easier process for customers.
