     Marvel Rivals has finally fixed the completely broken Doctor Strange strategy

Playing against a good Doctor Strange in Marvel Rivals is a nightmare. Players can use his shield and flight to block Scarlet Witch's ult completely, separate enemy souls from their bodies with his own ult for massive damage, and even use his portal to trick the other team into running off the map. When used right, he's a Vanguard with a diverse kit that can be the deciding factor in many team fights. Since launch, though, one of Doctor Strange's moves has had an unintended effect, giving whichever team he's on a massive advantage right from the start. NetEase Games has noticed, and is doing something about it in the first Marvel Rivals update.

I've got a strange relationship with the stealth sandbox murderbox that is Hitman: World of Assassination. If you were to ask me to list my favourite games, the latest Hitman trilogy would be in the top five, no question. And yet, I must have gotten intimidated at some point with the amount of new updates and all the spiffy unlockable suits I was missing out on, and just haven't touched it in a couple of years now. Is the appearance of Jean-Claude Van Damme as the game's newest elusive target enough to reel me back in? I'm not sure, but I will say that I doubt Sean Bean can stretch his legs like that, even with the legendary flexibility offered by O2's famously variable plans. Here's a trailer.

If we follow Marshall McLuhan's ideas about technology being an extension of the body, then the copy and paste keyboard shortcuts are my equivalent of a trip to one of Cyberpunk 2077's ripperdocs. In the writing of this single article, I will use them for links, HTML code, and other ephemera. I even copied McLuhan's name across from a different tab, which I'm sure he'd appreciate/be horrified by. I love those shortcuts. I need them. They are the wind beneath my wings, and the crud buildup beneath the bottom left of my keyboard.

I cannot say how the first tailor to gaze upon a sewing machine felt, nor the first egg-abacus attendant to behold the sorcerous ticking of the automated egg timer. But I think now that when they saw those things, they were afraid. As I am afraid now.
