🧘♂️ Namo Amitabha Buddha! Senior monk Huayan from Mingjiao temple went viral after admitting he's a seasoned player, in Counter-Strike 2 he climbed to Legendary Eagle Master and calls it a path to ZEN.

With 20 years of practice, he argues religion and gaming are two sides of the same coin: both demand razor‑sharp focus and acceptance of impermanence. When critics point at violence, he replies philosophically that in‑game "kills" are simply drills to sharpen skill, like winning at chess. Games teach communication and teamwork, but the temple rule is strict: no addiction, hobbies mustn't block spiritual practice and should help self‑development.

🎲 RANDOM MOD FOR GAME Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, Riker and Troi

🚀 Character swap: Gwyn is replaced with Troi, and Dal is swapped for Riker.

No drama, just two characters traded places. It looks odd but SICK, you might not register who's who at first glance. Fans of weird swaps will dig it; purists could raise an eyebrow.

🖥️ Backtrace: Mechanisms for Forgetting is a pixel, one‑bit puzzle from Petallix Games where a home PC seems to come alive and its files hide memories, feelings and other people's fates. 😳

Set in 1984, you play Lynn who gets her first computer: hack files, uncover hidden data, dive into BBS-era net and hacker communities, and even build/share your own levels. Coming to PC on Steam; release date TBA. WILD

🎲 RANDOM GAME, Counter-Strike: Source (Steam)

🎮 The next installment of the world's #1 online action game blends award-winning teamplay with advanced technology. Features: • Team-based action • Source technology • State-of-the-art graphics • All-new sound effects • Physics integration

Jaw‑drop: Eva from Stellar Blade by JND is now a massive 1/3-scale statue, standing at almost 80 cm, clearly aimed at collectors and already up for pre-order. SICK 😍

Solo price is ¥158,000, the Eva+Tahi set goes for ¥250,000. A teaser for a Raven statue dropped too, but no release date has been announced.

🔥 Control Resonant is getting a New Game+, but don't expect a casual replay; it's proper HARDCORE for vets.

Remedy says most skills and upgrades will carry over, yet some progress must be earned again, movement abilities will be locked at the start and reopen through the story to preserve the sense of discovery. You can replay missions to chase alternate rewards and missed collectibles, tinker with expanded skill synergies, and fit items into a new fourth artifact slot. Enemies will be tougher and more aggressive, and several bosses gain new moves designed to catch even seasoned players off guard.

🚗 Horizon Play, the multiplayer hub for Forza Horizon 6, launching on May 19.

Classic modes The Eliminator and Hide & Seek are back, plus Japan-inspired formats: Touge Showdown (1-on-1 DUELS on five iconic mountain routes) and Spec Racing (everyone in identical cars to test raw skill, PURE). Progress and rewards feed into a shared ranks/XP system.

⚡️ Metro 2039 hit over one million wishlists in just two weeks after its announcement, devs at 4A Games said they didn't expect this and thanked players. WILD

The game brings players back to the familiar Moscow metro tunnels for the first time in over seven years; launch is set for winter 2026 on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox Series and PS5. There will be no Russian localization.
