Canvas City Reimagines Turn-Based Tactics with Skaters, Style, and Street Art
Canvas City Reimagines Turn-Based Tactics with Skaters, Style, and Street Art originally appeared on GameDaily. Independent studio Disc 2 Games, in collaboration with Black Salt Games (the team behind DREDGE), has announced its debut title Canvas City, a fresh turn-based tactics RPG where rebellion, performance, and creativity collide. Canvas City is a stylish new turn-based tactics RPG debuting from indie studio Disc 2 Games. Players lead rebellious skaters and artists using movement, tricks, and style to fight an oppressive regime. Launching on PC and Nintendo Switch, the game is now available to wishlist on Steam. Set in a vibrant but tightly controlled urban landscape, Canvas City puts players in charge of a crew of skaters and street artists determined to push back against an oppressive regime. Unlike traditional tactics games where units simply move from point to point, Canvas City transforms movement into performance. Rails, ramps, and vertical terrain allow players to chain tricks mid-turn, earning Style Points that unlock powerful abilities. 'Movement isn't just getting from one spot to another—it's part of the plan,' explains Technical Director Kris Nicholson. This emphasis on flow and creativity reshapes the strategy genre, offering new ways to think about positioning and combat. The game's world is equally distinctive. Instead of armies and knights, rival factions include corporate-sponsored squads, wild performance artists, and crews of dancers and musicians. Each battle comes with its own personality, amplified by a dynamic soundtrack that shifts between heavy percussion and bright synths to match the fighting crews. Players can recruit up to 12 unique characters across the campaign, each with their own skills, backstory, and tricks. With more than 80 abilities to master, players will uncover the truth behind the city's cultural crackdown while upgrading their crew and customizing their Garage hub. Currently in development for PC and Nintendo Switch, Canvas City is available to wishlist on Steam. The game will support English, German, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese at launch. Disc 2 Games describes Canvas City as a love letter to tactical classics with a rebellious twist—infusing the genre with energy, artistry, and performance. This story was originally reported by GameDaily on Aug 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

22 Unimpressive Things People Still Brag About
Recently, u/Turkishkebab1 asked r/AskReddit, "What's something people brag about that isn't impressive?" So we thought we'd share what people thought. "My uncle likes to brag that he got all the way through high school without learning how to read. Like, good job being kind of dumb, extremely stubborn, and having teachers that didn't give a single shit about you. Sick flex, big dog." "Teachers that brag about how no one passes their class." "How many hours they work. Hate seeing someone sacrifice their health for a company that most likely doesn't gaf about them." "How little sleep you got the night before... Sleep is important, take care of yourself." 'I'm an alpha male.' "I know a girl who brags about the money her boyfriend has and how he got her several Labubus." "How much they drank." "How much pot they smoke." "How hot/spicy they can eat. I have a friend telling tales about how the Thai chef even came out of the kitchen to admire how hot this German guy could eat. Dude, there are Thai toddlers that eat more spicy food than you without thinking twice." ''I'm such an asshole' or 'I'm such a bitch'.' "Being late all the time like it's part of their personality." "Instagram followers." "How much money people spend being 'high maintenance'." "How much their car cost." "Fighting, how fast they drive, that they haven't wasted time reading anything since high school." "People they've met before. I don't care if you once shook Dustin Hoffman's hand." "Going to work sick." "Designer stuff. I have a coworker who loves her Prada eye glasses and wouldn't have bought them without a noticeable logo on the side. They look cheap because of the logo." "Being born in or being 'from' any particular place. Hey, cool, that's not something you achieved." "Packing light. I know people who will smugly boast about going on a two week holiday with only hand luggage. Like, good for you, personally I prefer to have a few changes of clothes when I travel." "Cheating on a partner. It's not impressive, it's just showing you're an asshole." "Driving a manual car. I learned when I was 12. Everyone I have taught has learned how to do it in about 45 minutes. It's not that hard. People just haven't had the opportunity to learn." H/T to u/Turkishkebab1 and r/AskReddit for having the discussion! Any of your own to add? Let us know in the comments below!

Review: ‘Eden' tells the gripping story of a real-life utopia that turned disastrous
In the early 1930s, Friedrich Ritter, a German physician and would-be philosopher, moved with his partner, Dore Strauch, from Berlin to the uninhabited Galapagos Island of Floreana. They wanted to escape the corruptions of modern life and hoped that outdoor life might cure Dore of multiple sclerosis. Unbeknownst to them, some letters that Friedrich had written about his and Dore's experiment in living eventually made it into the German-language press, and soon they were joined on the island by another German couple, Heinz and Margret Wittmer. Friedrich and Dore weren't happy about this development, but as disruptions go this was nothing compared to the stresses and disasters that would follow. The true history of the Floreana settlement is irresistible and exposes the gulf between high human aspiration and low human nature. The tale has already been the subject of a brilliant documentary – 'The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden' (2014), by Bay Area filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine. And now the story takes the form of an effective dramatic feature, 'Eden,' from director Ron Howard. In 'Eden,' Howard stays pretty close to the real-life details, adhering to the known facts, while filling in the gaps in the story with plausible suppositions. Jude Law plays Friedrich as a self-infatuated man of destiny, too focused on the grand issues of life to concern himself with the pain or discomfort of anyone, including himself. In one scene, he maintains his end of a conversation while using a knife to cut out insects that have burrowed into his arm. One would think that, in any small community, a man like Friedrich would be able to maintain his position as the town eccentric. Dore is played by Vanessa Kirby, who lends the role an unexpected air of mystery and suppressed anger, but she's fairly normal compared to Friedrich. And the Wittmers — Daniel Bruhl and Sydney Sweeney — are a nice young couple that just wants to get along. But then comes the 'Baroness' (Ana de Armas), an Austrian egomaniac who shows up one day with her two lovers, brandishing guns and announcing that she plans to build a hotel and turn Floreana into a tourist destination. She's cheerful and charming, but a bit crazy and perhaps worse than that. As Armas's performance suggests — and eyewitness testimony later attested — the Baroness was the snake in the garden, a force of evil. Ron Howard gives the Baroness a Wagnerian entrance, and from that point on, she drives the movie. As a sociopath who can only imitate normal human pleasantries, she asks Mrs. Wittmer about her harrowing experience of giving birth while fighting off a pack of wild dogs. 'You must tell us about the birth. Was it fun?' The only weakness of the movie is that, because it's a true story, it can't rearrange the order of events for maximum drama. Thus, what is essentially the climax of the film comes about three quarters in, and the rest of it, while never less than interesting, feels like falling action. The good news is that Sweeney and Kirby get their best scenes, respectively, in this last section of the movie. Sweeney continues to surprise. Though she became famous for comparatively glamorous roles in ' The White Lotus ' and 'Anyone But You,' she keeps taking on challenging parts that indicate a performer with lots of fire and very little vanity. Her monologue in which she faces off against the local police is a marvel of unexpected, understated strength. So, 'Eden' is worth seeing, and the only question that remains is whether you should see 'Eden' or 'The Galapagos Affair' first. I saw the documentary first, but doing it the other way might work just as well. For sure, they each will enhance the experience of the other.
