New Social Features Coming to Blizzard’s Battle.net
Blizzard announced a slew of new social features coming to Battle.net including groups, avatars, profiles, and more.
Among the new improvements is player-to-player gifting. The shop tab allows you to "select a gifting-enabled item such as Hearthstone card packs" and choose who you'd like to send it to.
When someone sends you a gift, "the upper right of the app" lights up, letting you know someone thinks you're special.
Also coming to Battle.net are groups, helping you find and interact with like-minded users, as well new profiles and avatars. All of the social features are found in the new Social tab of the Blizzard.net app.
Blizzard is also letting you "appear offline" with the new update. As the name suggests, you merely appear offline, while in actuality, you're playing Blizzard games in quiet desolation.

Does Discovery’s Latest Tech Break Trek History?
Spoilers follow for Star Trek: Discovery's latest episode, "Lethe."
Last night's episode of Star Trek: Discovery (read our review here) had a cool scene where Captain Lorca (Jason Isaacs) puts Lt. Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) through his paces as the pair find themselves in a gunfight with the dreaded Klingons. As the two Starfleet officers stalk through the corridors of a Klingon ship, phaser rifles blazing, they take out a bunch of enemy soldiers with precision military skill. And then, as the strike comes to an end, the image of the last batch of Klingons wavers and they, and the ship around them, disappear. The Discovery computer then announces "hologram battle simulation complete" as we realize that Lorca and Tyler have been in exactly that -- some kind of holodeck training program.
