Stellaris, which just launched this week, is Paradox Interactive’s grand strategy take on space opera. It’s an epic 4X game that takes your species from first leaving its home world to spreading across the galaxy. Paradox has earned a devoted following for its elaborate historical simulations, but this is the studio’s first foray into science fiction. The game has received a largely glowing critical reception and is the studio’s fastest-selling game to date.

Carl Riemer, a Call of Duty streamer and former FaZe Clan member, was suspended from Twitch after accidentally firing a real gun while he was live on the platform.

While streaming, Riemer picked up a Glock, racked the slide twice, and discharged a bullet from the chamber. Apparently believing that the gun was not loaded, he pulled the trigger and was visibly surprised that the Glock fired a shot into a can of G-Fuel.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves

An election poster for guybrush in Sea of Thieves.

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.
