For one brief, shining moment in time over 20 years ago, Pokémon ascended from the anime/video games plane where it normally resides and became something more. Something fancier, something jauntier. And then, just as quickly as it rose, it slipped right back down again, and most folks now forget it ever happened at…

Let's imagine it's Saturday morning. You drive up to your local Aldi parking lot, you get out of your car, you walk inside. Mostly to get some cheap groceries, but also partially so you can saunter up and down the middle aisles, perusing the special buys that are currently on rotation. Maybe you'll see some house…

     Your Terraria inventory is about to get a massive upgrade

Terraria's next final update (I really don't know how many more 'final update' jokes I can keep making) is going to make inventory management a whole lot easier. The devs at Re-Logic have already said that Terraria 1.4.4 is focused more on balance changes and quality-of-life improvements, and today they've revealed a particularly notable update.

The maximum stack size is getting ten times bigger than its current limit of 999. "Simply put, we are increasing the stack size of nearly every stackable item in the game to 9999," the devs say in the latest monthly update blog post. "Please note that there are some exceptions to this, but only around ten to 15 which had to be kept as-is for mechanical purposes."

1.4.4, or the 'Labour of Love' update is set to arrive sometime "later this year". If you want to know everything that's been confirmed for the update so far, you can check out the official wiki (which has recently been brought under new management).

     Sims 4 patch finally fixes the broken wedding pack

The wedding fix for The Sims 4 is finally here. The recent My Wedding Stories game pack has, indeed, given players plenty of wedding stories, but most of them are about broken features, poor fashion choices, or officiants refusing to actually officiate. The promised patch to fix those issues is live, and based on early player reports, it seems the update has been quite effective.

You can read the full patch notes at the official site, but there are some doozies in here. "Partners will show up for wedding events now," which seems pretty essential. "Sims with a larger backside will no longer experience their derriere to clip through ymTop_GP11Casual," too, and while I don't know what outfit that is offhand, I am glad it can now sustain the booty.

"Sims who bend to their spouse when performing a 'spousal kiss' will no longer rub their ear into the other sim's face, but will use their lips to kiss their spouse instead" is probably my favourite patch note here, but more basic fixes - like those that allow weddings to complete as intended - are certainly more relevant to those who've spent the past few weeks frustrated by My Wedding Stories.

E3 2022 Canceled, E3 2023 Teased

The Entertainment Software Association announced that E3 2022 is canceled. The show will not be held as usual in June 2022. However, at the same time it confirmed that E3 will be held both digitally and physically in 2023.

In its official confirmation, the ESA didn't offer a reason for the digital element's cancellation. While E3's physical event was canceled in 2021, it did take place digitally online. The E3 2022 physical element was already canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here's the official statement from The ESA.

E3 will return in 2023 with a reinvigorated showcase that celebrates new and exciting video games and industry innovations.

We previously announced that E3 would not be held in person in 2022 due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19. Today, we announce that there will also be no digital E3 showcase in 2022.

Instead, we will devote all our energy and resources to delivering a revitalized physical and digital E3 experience next summer. Whether enjoyed from the show floor or your favorite devices, the 2023 showcase will bring the community, media, and industry back together in an all-new format and interactive experience.

We look forward to presenting E3 to fans around the world live from Los Angeles in 2023.

While E3 2022 is canceled, other events are planned for this summer. The Summer Game Fest will be held in June 2022. As usual, that is an online event. Gamescom will return both digitally and physically in August 2022.

E3 2023 will be held digitally and physically, though there are no dates for it yet.
