PETER HOSKIN Reviews Tunic

Police intercepted a package sent from Batemans Bay, in New South Wales, to Queensland last month, with officers finding white powder hidden inside the toy from the international smash hit children's show on the ABC.
To be honest, it looks just like the land of Link's Awakening...or a dozen other Zelda games. It's bright green, punctuated by clumps of grass, and shown from above. Down the path, there's a ruined village and some dungeons that need explorin'.

Computing what each pixel on the screen should look like is hard, so Nvidia chips use AI to predict how some pixels should look without doing the entire set of computations. The Lovelace chips have extended that technique to generate entire frames of a game using AI.

In a streamed online keynote address, Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang on Tuesday introduced the company's newest "Ada Lovelace" series of graphics chips, named for the 19th-century British mathematician regarded as an early pioneer in computer science.

Wuebbling also said the chips will not contain a so-called hash-rate limiter, a technology Nvidia put in its previous generation of chips to limit their use in mining the cryptocurrency Ethereum, because of recent changes in how that currency is tracked.

Sept 20 (Reuters) - Nvidia Corp on Tuesday announced new flagship chips for video gamers that use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance graphics, saying it has tapped Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to make the processors.

Digital collectibles are also on their way to the PS5 via the Stars program. Collectibles could be figurines of iconic characters -- think Solid Snake or https://Semantische-Richtlijnen.wiki/wiki/A_Punter_Who_Won_Close_To_20_000_After_Playing_The_Pokies_Has_Splurged_Her_Money_On_A_Brand_New_Car Ratchet & Clank -- or they could be representations of famous Sony devices throughout history. 

Sony on Thursday introduced its PlayStation Stars loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 gamers. It'll be free to join, and players will be able to earn loyalty points by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Players can choose from a catalog of options to redeem points, including PlayStation Network wallet funds and select PlayStation Store products.

Nvidia designs its chips but has them manufactured by partners. Huang said the chips will be made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufaturing (TSMC) with its "4N" chip manufacturing technology, a change from Nvidia's previous generation of flagship gaming chips, which were made by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.

Police also arrested and charged a 45-year-old man from North Batemans Bay with a number of offences related to illegal firearms, ammunition and possessing a gaming machine that isn't approved.
He was also granted a conditional bail.

Matches at Wembley are becoming increasingly common for the Lionesses, but Scragg is one of the few women to have played at the old Wembley, having taken part in two 15-minute matches against Scotland as a warm-up to the men's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in 1990.

Figure things out. Perhaps you'll need to consult one of Tunic's most delightful features — an in-game manual, half of it written in cryptic runes, that you literally piece together page by page — or perhaps you won't. However you go about it, the feeling of sheer discovery is tremendous.

Campaigns will include PlayStation's "Monthly Check-In" campaign, where you can earn points just for playing any game on your console. Other activities will require you to win tournaments or unlock trophies to earn points -- or even be the first player in your local time zone to make it to platinum for a blockbuster title (which indicates that a player has achieved 100% completion in that game).

The PlayStation Stars program will launch later this year, though an exact time frame hasn't been provided yet. CNET reached out to PlayStation, but the gaming giant didn't immediately respond for comment.

Her eight years with the national team were spent playing on boggy pitches that contained little grass.
But once she arrived at the Lionesses' luxury training pitch behind the impressive resort, she realised just how much times have changed since her first cap 35 years ago.
‘I remember one Friday we were in Leeds and we were going for a little stroll to walk off the car journey, down a little cul-de-sac, and the manager made us stop at the end. He had us stretching, imagine opening your curtains now and seeing 20 England ladies in shell-suits at that time!

MANILA, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The Philippines will stop operations of 175 offshore gambling firms and deport about 40,000 Chinese workers, a justice ministry official said on Monday, part of a crackdown on the notoriously opaque online gaming industry.

Because Tunic doesn't simply copy the Zelda formula — it complicates it. There are items you pick up, berries and little effigies, that you've never encountered before, in this game or any other. And you're not told what to do with them. Nor, in fact, are you really told much else.
