If you thought you had to drop an arm and a leg to get a comfortable gaming chair, think again. Staples has slashed $100 off the price of the already affordable Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Gaming Chair in Black and Grey and the Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Gaming Chair in Black and Blue . Originally listed at $200, both styles are now just $100 with free shipping. That’s a whopping 50% discount. We’ve seen it reduced to $120 and $110 during major sales, but we’ve never seen this chair drop lower than $100, and other brands go for $300 or more. This is definitely a steal worth taking advantage of.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.
Claude website open on laptop

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
