Why’s that important? As the SEC puts it, “These significant earnings and cash flow fluctuations related to a volatile business for investors to ascertain the likelihood that past performance was indicative of future performance....

The one downside? You can’t use Obi-Wan’s trusty lightsaber, which instead hangs limply from his trusty Jedi backpack. Fortnite has previously featured lightsabers as weapons - and very fun they are too. You can strike, block and perform a neat little combat roll while holding them, and players facing off against each other will often like to go one-on-one with you as a proper duel. However, lightsabers are not currently available in the game - they last returned earlier in the month for May 4th, but have since returned to the vault....

Odd Realm hews closely to the Dwarf Fortress format. Bedrooms must be carved out of mountains or built on hillsides to accommodate your first settlers. Workshops, smithies, kitchens and distilleries are constructed and furnished to specification, so that your burgeoning town can begin to process the bounty and booze of the surrounding nature. Even Dwarf Fortress’s most confounding aesthetic has made the grade: Z-levels, which let you flip through top-down cross-sections of the world, as though you’re leafing through individual slices of an MRI scan, take a while to wrap your brain around....

As spotted by The Daily Swig, researcher “drbrix” reported the exploit via HackerOne, stating they had “found [a] vulnerability which allows attacker to generate steam wallet balance”. The bug - which has since been resolved - would permit players with “amount100” in their Steam account email address to intercept payments made via Smart2Pay and artificially inflate them (thanks, NME). After detailing how the exploit could be generated, Valve’s JonP promptly thanked drbrix and agreed the team at Valve had been able to “validate this is happening pretty much as described”, and were taking steps to address it....
