The house, in Detroit’s Brightmoor neighborhood, was not Gay-Dagnogo’s permanent residence—it was empty, and her nonprofit was in the process of renovating it with the intention of either turning it into low-income housing or giving it to a family in need for Christmas. She had no idea the house was gone until nearly a week after it was torn down, when she received a phone call letting her know....

The U.S. Treasury Department said that they are monitoring various state programs for any potential fraud. While some states have yet to disclose reports on their programs, others have reported little fraud has occurred among filers, particularly rental assistance programs. Arizona recently received nearly 8,300 rental assistance applications. In order to combat fraud, they use a computer program that verifies people’s identities. This program resulted in more than 9,900 people being stopped from filing applications that could be fraudulent....

India are currently ranked 11th in Asia. With the 10th placed Asian team, Qatar, dropping from 84th to 89th in the overall rankings, India also have closed in on forcing their way into Asia’s top ten. For a country whose average FIFA ranking is 134th, rising to 101st is a massive leap. Here are a few statistical quirks that should add perspective to India’s latest achievement. India’s jump in places second best in the world India jumped 31 places to sit 101st in FIFA’s latest rankings, up from March’s 132nd place....

What Does Steam’s New Downloads Page Look Like? A recent Steam update added references to SteamPal, a potential Switch-like portable PC from Valve. As noticed by Pavel Djundik, the owner of SteamDB, that update also contains the ability to access a redesigned Downloads page. To get to the newly designed page, simply visit steam://nav/library/downloads and open in Steam. The interface makes use of larger iconography, clearer graphs and progression bars, and the ability to drag and drop queued downloads to set priority....

For example, one thing that a number of people have done is create their own boot-up screen. Recently, one user made their Steam Deck show the opening crawl sequence from Star Wars, complete with John Williams’ iconic score. Others have managed to make start-up screens to honor things like Futurama and The Secret of Monkey Island. Such customization seems to be becoming ever more popular, to such an extent that Valve has acknowledged what the community is doing and made it easier to achieve....

Steam is currently experiencing a widespread server outage, which seems to be impacting multiple aspects of the popular storefront application. The outage follows Steam users having trouble accessing certain games yesterday, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and a number of Bethesda games, like Skyrim. Trying to access the store page will result in a black screen, as will the Community tab.

Despite being almost seven years old, Stardew Valley has likely been one of the most played indie titles around the world. A study on YouTube even claimed that Stardew Valley is the most profitable cozy game. Given that the indie title is available on many different platforms, it is not surprising how big the player base has grown since its launch in 2016. However, even though the game is getting older, fans are still discovering new tips and tricks, like how to grow infinite grass, that will likely aid both new and veteran players of the farming sim....

The two titles in themselves show how antithetical games can be while still remaining in the same genre. With differing styles, gameplay, objectives, and themes, the Dead Space Remake and Starfield could not be more different in some ways. Yet their adherence to certain aspects of the sci-fi genre means that there is still a large crossover of fans for each title, despite these differences. Each gives players completely different opportunities and experiences, and with Starfield’s release towards the end of the year, and the Dead Space Remake launching in early 2023, the two titles could offer sci-fi fans a great few months of game playing....

Bethesda games are generally considered “epic” and much of that has to do with the often beautiful music that accompanies the equally gorgeous visuals. Inon Zur has worked on the Fallout games since the third installment but has also done the scores for Dragon Age, Crysis, and the video game adaptation of James Cameron’s Avatar, as well as many others. His resume is very impressive, so it feels as though Starfield is in good hands in terms of its music, and anyone who’s in or around Los Angeles will soon be able to catch the US premiere of the suite....

The hotly anticipated Starfield is still pretty much shrouded in mystery, though few things have become crystal clear. Starfield isn’t just a brand-new IP from Bethesda, it’s also a new beginning for this RPG giant that hopes to recover its lost momentum, guided by a new light. RELATED: Fallout Composer is Working on Starfield Starfield: A New Universe Full of Possibilities Developing new IPs is a risky business, especially in the modern era where AAA games cost millions of dollars to make....
