    The National Weather Service didn’t have enough staff to send out to survey tornado damage in Louisville, Kentucky.

    The NWS didn’t confirm whether that had anything to do with mass layoffs under DOGE’s cost-cutting crusade. It was also understaffed because of spring break, NWS told investigative reporter Travis Breese.

    But federal workers have said there could be “devastating” losses because of cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA) that houses NWS. In February, weather balloon launches needed to collect data for forecasts were suspended in western Alaska after layoffs.

    And the clock strikes South of Midnight.

    The review embargo is up for Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight. I desperately wanted to have this up in time but I was off tearing up my wrist and shoulder trying out the the Nintendo Switch 2’s new Joy-Con mouse functions among other Nintendo-related shenanigans. The review is on the way though and I’m really excited to share my thoughts. For now though, whet your appetite with my interview with the game’s developers including voice and motion capture director Ahmed Best.

    There’s now a banana-shaped version of the Game Boy-inspired Arduboy.

    GTA V is coming back to Game Pass, again.

    Microsoft announced that Grand Theft Auto V is returning to the Game Pass library (with the Enhanced edition on PC) on April 15th, continuing a trend that seems to keep the long-in-the-tooth title popping up every couple of years.

    After exiting the bundle in 2020, Rockstar and Microsoft brought the game back in 2021, 2023, and now 2025, but with GTA VI’s scheduled release date looming just a few months away.
