The Long Arm of Laughs: A One-Limb Stealth Game Slaps Its Way to PC

Toot Games' My Arms Are Longer Now reimagines stealth as a 3D, joke-forward indie experience centered on a single extendable arm that steals and slaps its way through NPCs. The game emphasizes humor over puzzles, features more than 40 voiced characters, and uses a tube-like limb with forced perspective to preserve its illustrated style after a 2D prototype. It secured publishing with Jackbox Games and is planned for PC release in 2027.

Hillsborough doubts cast shadow over Rays stadium deal as funding shifts

Two Hillsborough County commissioners who previously backed the Rays stadium deal now question it, potentially upending the pact as the financing structure shifts: the city would lend $80 million and the Rays would borrow about $100 million, to be repaid with property‑tax revenues from a surrounding mixed‑use development. Commissioner Chris Boles says there’s no guaranteed county revenue and seeks written assurances on the development piece, while Commissioner Christine Miller questions the city’s share and warns of possible exposure (up to $380 million) after a related land‑use change stalled. With votes looming next week, the changing terms and political dynamics add new uncertainty to the deal.

13-Story Crown Heights Tower Sparks Debate Over Who It Will House

COLlive reports plans for a 13-story, 94-unit mixed-use building at 767 East New York Avenue in Crown Heights, developed by Yonah Grunhut of Grun Group LLC, replacing the former 770 Auto shop. With average unit sizes around 561 square feet, residents worry the project may add many small apartments that aren’t suitable for local families, sparking debate over who this new housing is for even as the neighborhood needs more homes; the plan also includes unused development rights and has sparked broader community discussion about balancing growth with residents' needs.

Sleep aid or brain caution: melatonin’s murky impact on kids

A study of 684 children suggests melatonin users have less REM sleep, a stage tied to memory, learning, and emotional development, raising questions about long-term effects since melatonin isn’t FDA-regulated and dosing varies; experts urge caution, prioritize sleep hygiene, and reserve melatonin for circadian-disorder cases with small, precisely timed doses while addressing underlying sleep problems.

Midnight Club 5 canceled: internal conflict and creative control derailed Rockstar’s racing revival

An Insider Gaming interview with former Rockstar designer Kris Roberts claims Midnight Club 5 was canceled due to a non-trivial clash between Rockstar New York and the San Diego Midnight Club team, plus creative-control disputes and missed deadlines from the Los Angeles project. Despite early prototypes (including a London map) and evidence of strong player engagement, the internal tensions and GTA-pivotal focus led to the team’s dissolution and the shelving of the Midnight Club line as Rockstar redirected resources toward other projects like Red Dead Redemption and the company’s game engine.

A Global Two-Dimensional Blueprint for Mind Development

Adults across six countries revealed a universal two-dimensional framework for how mental abilities develop: a Perceptual–Experiential dimension (early, innate traits like fear and hunger) and a Reflective–Evaluative dimension (later, learned traits like reasoning and self-control). This nature–nurture map—stable across cultures—shapes parenting, education, and policy, and the perceived structure can shift depending on whether observers compare humans to robots or focus on developmental context.

Klopp urges sweeping reforms for Germany after World Cup exit

Klopp urged a complete overhaul of German football after the World Cup exit, saying the DFB needs a fresh development philosophy from top to bottom and youth-system restructuring, as Germany failed to break down Paraguay’s low block; he criticized the execution of marquee players and warned that, despite future praise for talents like Wirtz and Musiala, the present need is systemic change (even with Nagelsmann under contract until 2028).
