The Mageseeker blends League of Legends lore with Hades’ action | Digital Trends
When I sat down to try a demo of The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story at PAX East, I was dropped straight into an escape mission. At first, I fumbled with switching between casting spells and dodging attacks from enemy mages. By the end, I juggled between at least four magical abilities while dashing around to survive. It was a hectic experience, but one that perfectly complemented its storytelling.

Pantheone Obsidian smart speaker puts Alexa in a sharp body | Digital Trends
Looking for a smart speaker that doesn’t look like a smart speaker? Look no further than Pantheone Audio’s Obsidian . The Australian company is no stranger to creating speakers that double as works of art. Its debut product, the $2,750 Pantheone I would look at home in a gallery, and the $1,399 Obsidian makes a similar statement, only on a smaller, portable scale. For its smarts, the Obsidian (which comes in black or white) leans on Amazon Alexa, but it’s also a well-featured wireless multiroom speaker that can connect via Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2 , or Bluetooth, plus it has a 3.5mm analog audio input for sources like turntables. In addition to an on/off switch, there are illuminated front touch controls for Alexa, playback, and volume. Related Videos Unlike the hulking Pantheone I, the svelte Obsidian packs its own rechargeable battery that can power the speaker without cables for up to 15 hours of listening, according to Pantheone. Charging it fully takes two hours, but … [Read more...] about Pantheone Obsidian smart speaker puts Alexa in a sharp body | Digital Trends

Instagram was one of my favorite apps — now I can’t stand it | Digital Trends
Instagram is dying a slow, drawn-out death, and I don’t think that I’m the only one to notice. The app has been at the center of controversy after controversy as Meta continuously shifts around its ambitions for it, tries to compete with other social media giants like TikTok , and packs itself full to bursting with suggested posts and a relentless number of advertisements . It feels like Meta is doing its best in order to maximize profits and draw users in, but from everyone I’ve talked to who feels the same as I do, we’re only being pushed away. Contents Remembering what Instagram used to be Still searching for a good alternative As it’s desperately tried to find a new identity, Instagram has become completely useless to me. It’s an app full of content I don’t care about that’s plastered floor-to-ceiling with ads that have me closing it each time — feeling frustrated and that I might as well delete it to save myself some time and storage space.
