Itch.io Bundle Is Raising Money For Abortion Funds
Itch.io is raising money for abortion funds with a brand new games bundle. "In light of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade and threaten and remove access to abortions, creators from all across Itch.io have contributed projects to this solidarity bundle," the company said in a statement. "100 percent of the proceeds from this bundle will go to the National Network for Abortion Fund's Collective Power Fund which moves money directly to abortion funds across more than 20 US states with a particular focus on the South and Midwest where it is often most difficult to get access to abortions.”

Players are now able to get their hands on every single game manual ever made for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System thanks to a very dedicated archivist going by the name of Peebs.

My Hero Academia Is Becoming A Battle Royale Game
My Hero Academia will soon be a battle royale game according to a recently released trailer. The game will support up to 24 players on a single map with eight teams of three fighting it out by the look of things. According to the official website, each character will fall into one of three different categories consisting of Assault, Support, and Disruption. Team balance will be left to the players themselves to figure out. I rather liked the anime, so this one could be worth keeping an eye on.

There have been rumors making the rounds to the effect that Let Me Solo Her has retired from Elden Ring. Well, not true. The player is in fact more active than ever. "Since a lot of people are asking me or think that I'm retired, I'm happy to say that I am not and still going strong," Let Me Solo Her pointed out in a video. "Lost count by now, but it’s over 2,000 Malenia's slain." That’s quite a few bosses put to rest.
Sony Job Listing Suggests That Emulated PS3 Games Could Be Coming To PS5
Subscribers to the PlayStation Plus service have been able to access a library of PS3 games for quite a while now, but unlike PS4 games, they’ve had to stream them. This could be changing in the very near future because PlayStation is apparently trying to hire a Software Development Engineer specialized in “emulation of legacy PlayStation platforms.” Speculators have suggested that such emulation could only be for PS3 games. The job listing also contains a number of “must haves” including “experience developing cross-platform software for games consoles and desktop PCs” along with “carving out automated solutions that scale to thousands of similar products.”
