Gazprom Done Subsidizing Ukraine, Russian Gov't Says

Adobe has expanded its library of generative AI features, bringing new capabilities to video editing software Premiere Pro. Back in February, Adobe previewed upcoming AI tools for audio editing and now is expanding this offering to video tools, with AI coming to Premiere Pro. The upcoming update will allow users to add frames and make clips longer using generative AI, as well as add or remove objects in the background of a shot. “We believe generative AI is the next accelerant to human creativity, and Adobe’s strategy is to give creative professionals more power and efficiency by integrating generative AI across Creative Cloud,” reads the blog post announcing the launch of the new tools.

Jabba the Hutt – what a character and one of the most memorable parts of the initial Star Wars trilogy of films (no, not just because of the whole gold bikini thing thanks). As a kid growing up watching Return of the Jedi on VHS literally every day (er, it may have been a pirate copy filmed from a camcorder in a cinema as well, sorry!) Jabba and Bib Fortuna’s interactions are ones I remember the most fondly.

Pokémon Go announces a far-reaching update with new features, avatars, graphics, and more. After eight years out in the wild, Pokémon Go is introducing a wealth of fresh features, seasons, events, and regions as part of a wide update. For ongoing players of the AR game, this offers enough new content to last a fair long while. In a trailer encouraging fans to ‘rediscover GO!’, Niantic has outlined what Pokémon Go players have to expect, ahead of the initial launch on April 17.

When you think of great Xbox exclusives over the years games like Forza and Halo come to mind. When you then think about exclusives that should have been great but haven’t quite made it (yet at least) you have Starfield. When you think about games you probably would not have tagged as your next favorite game that none of your PlayStation and Nintendo friends have been able to play until now, oh hello Grounded. Obsidian’s ever-so-charming shrink’em-up (er down?) completes its smoky ring walk to the dark side today, finally arriving on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, To celebrate its arrival on other formats, all three versions (including the original Xbox iteration) will be getting the Fully Yolked update – the final content update of an already great game. Version 1.4 of the game will bring with it a totally remixed Backyard, new Ant Queen bosses you need to forge strategic alliances with at the expense of your relationship with the other ants nests in the garden, and the new Yolking Station which will power up your weapons to hitherto unimaginable strengths, all in preparation for Grounded’s new New Game+ mode. Grounded is a huge amount of fun single-player, but in four-player multi-player is where it can really shine.

Rejoice Warhammer 40k gaming crew, the latest huge update to Darktide arrives on the Mourningstar today and will completely revamp how one of the game’s major systems works. We looked a little while ago at the Path of Redemption update but news that the free update will arrive later today has got us all excited for a second time. Despite having a rather flaccid launch originally I still found Darktide to be a lot of fun, if dramatically lacking in launch content.

Across the board, users want a piece of the pie when it comes to AI. It’s hardly surprising that there has been an influx of creative ways to test its abilities in the form of generators. Whether it’s music makers like Suno or video creators such as Sora, there are now a multitude of ways to play around with these new technologies.
