I'm writing about this cute cat plush so you play one of 2025's best games
And I mean look at the plush, isn't it one of the cutest things you've seen? For the uninitiated, the Stray, not to be confused with another cyberpunk cat, is one of the characters Citizen Sleeper 2's protagonist can encounter during their journey. As far as I'm aware, they only appear in one scene throughout the entire runtime of the game (how very cat-like of them, I know), but it's a moment that's emblematic of so many of Citizen Sleeper 2's strengths.
"This cat, the one on your ship, was born here. That much is obvious," writes Martin in the scene. "It is a creature of zero-gravity, a being that orbits and glides, not one that leaps and stalks." Without spoiling anything, what follows is a touching and thoughtful meditation on memory, and how we can choose whether our memories define us.
If you haven't played Citizen Sleeper 2 yet, consider this a recommendation. It is easily worth your time and more. You can play the game on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. As for the Stray, they're expected to start shipping on June 12, 2025.

Taylor Swift Debuts a Jet Black Bob Haircut for ‘The Life of a Showgirl'
Stop the world, I want to get off. Taylor Swift just entered her femme fatale era with a jet black bob haircut, and naturally, I am not okay. In a plot twist absolutely no one saw coming, our blonde bombshell has traded in her signature soft waves and honeyed highlights for a razor-sharp, jet-black blunt bob, complete with a jagged, brow-grazing fringe that screams French retro cinema meets graphic novel villainess. Think: Pulp Fiction's Mia – mystery with a side of vengeance. The dramatic hairdo made its Instagram debut in promo shots for her upcoming twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, first unveiled during a guest appearance on the New Heights podcast hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. And if the visuals are anything to go by, this era is about to be as iconic as Tay's winged liner. Scroll to the third slide in the carousel post below to see all that we're describing. Gone is the 'August' cardigan girl twirling in fields, and hello Taylor 2.0: slick, striking, and dripping in dark pop drama. The new album (out Oct. 3, mark your calendars) is co‑produced with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, who are also the masterminds behind some of Taylor's greatest hits, including 'Blank Space' and 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' So, we're expecting high-gloss anthems and emotions for days! Oh, and the new look? It's the icing on top of her ultimate reinvention cake. T-minus 50 days, people!!

In the age of Steam censorship, Peak devs bravely go where no Peak has gone before and begrudgingly add requested cannibalism feature: "Fine"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Peak has become even more peak by adding a much-requested feature: cannibalism. After previously announcing, "guys we can't add cannibalism to Peak," developer Aggro Crab has given in. We did it. Yesterday, the official Aggro Crab Twitter account simply posted the word "fine" as a quote tweet to their original cannibalism dismissal. A follow up reports patch 1.10.a adds Polish and Turkish language support – I wonder if they caused the game to crash like French did – bug fixes, and a "secret third thing." Well, we now know that secret third thing is cannibalism, and it's been implemented in a hilarious way. "The new Peak update is wild," reads a tweet from Twitch and YouTube partner Ava Lamp. "If you get too hungry, your friend looks like a cooked turkey, and you can eat them!" I love that the game has gone with the cartoon approach of simply turning one character into food when another gets hungry. It may seem cruel – or funny, depending on who you are as a person – to eat your friend while trying to climb to the top of the mountain. But, since the devs stopped us from being able to claim victory if our dead body makes it over the finish line, it makes sense to offer ourselves up as a sacrifice so that someone else can make it, at least. For a game made quickly to give Aggro Crab its creative spark back, Peak has done phenomenally well, selling over one million copies in the first six days it was out. Now, climb that mountain and eat your friends. Or, check out all the best games of 2025 so far.

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Pair Returns to All-Time Low at Walmart, Already Flying Off Shelves in This Rare Deal
Controllers have a way of disappearing right when friends come over. The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Pair, Neon Purple and Neon Orange solves the 'who gets the good controller' debate with a bright duo that is easy to spot and even easier to share. Slide them onto a Switch for a quick handheld session, pop them off for tabletop play, or hand one to a buddy so a quiet night turns into Mario Kart laps and a lot of yelling from the couch. Head over to Walmart to get the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Pair, Neon Purple and Neon Orange for just $69, down from its usual price of $80. That's a discount of $11 and 13% off. See at Walmart Color is half the fun here. The neon purple and neon orange shells bring instant personality to a gray dock and make it obvious which controller is yours. They feel light in the hand, click into place with that satisfying Switch sound, and pair in a blink. Use them together for the full two handed setup, or flip them sideways and you have two mini controllers ready for party games. Wrist straps in the box add a little extra grip for frantic races and dance rounds. These are great as a replacement set or as a spare pair that lives in the charging dock. If you are down to a single working controller, this restores the living room to multiplayer status. Families with sibling turf wars will also appreciate the peace. One purple, one orange, and the arguments tend to fade. Built in motion controls make games like Just Dance and 1 2 Switch easy to jump into, and the gentle rumble adds a little energy to wins and near misses. Small quality of life touches add up. The compact size fits little hands and tired grown up hands alike. Battery life is long enough for a movie length play session, then a break, then another round after dinner. Charging is simple. Slide the Joy Con onto the Switch and they top up while the console sits in the dock. No extra cables to remember. If you play on the road, they ride in a case without hogging space, and the bright colors are harder to leave behind at a friend's place. One honest note. Like with any controller, keeping sticks clean and storing everything in a case helps them last. Treat them kindly and they will be there for marathon weekends and quick ten minute breaks between chores. The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Pair, Neon Purple and Neon Orange is still available for $69 at Walmart, down from the regular $80 price. See at Walmart
