Myst and Riven remakes, the return of Bubsy and other new indie games worth checking out
Plus, a puzzle platformer inspired by mental health challenges and turning failures into progress. Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As always, we've got some new games (as well as remakes) for you to check out this weekend if you're so inclined, along with news and updates for some upcoming projects. Given how many games arrive every single week, we can't possibly cover all of them (not to mention all of the trailers and announcements for upcoming titles). However, I'd like to highlight a couple that previously slipped below my radar before we get into the incredibly busy Summer Game Fest period.

'You can't control everything': the rise in plastic surgeons asked to create 'AI face'
'You can't control everything': the rise in plastic surgeons asked to create'AI face' Growing numbers of people are seeking improbable cosmetic surgery based on chatbots' recommendations Plastic surgeons are increasingly concerned about the rise of "AI face", as more and more clients arrive in their offices with unrealistic AI-generated visions of what they want to look like. Dr Nora Nugent, a cosmetic surgeon from Tunbridge Wells, has seen this first hand. Clients have started coming to her office with photos of themselves beautified by AI and a false expectation that those results are achievable with surgery. She is also the president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and says many colleagues are having similar experiences. "I can only predict an increase, given the rate AI has been incorporated into every aspect of life," she said.

Quantum 'Jamming' Could Help Unlock the Mysteries of Causality
Quantum'Jamming' Could Help Unlock the Mysteries of Causality To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect. For the past few decades, researchers have understood that quantum computers should eventually be able to crack the widely used codes that secure much of the digital world. To protect against this fate, they've spent years developing new codes that appear to be safe from future safecrackers armed with quantum computers. At the same time, they've also devised ingenious ways to use the rules of quantum mechanics to keep communications secure. But quantum mechanics, just like the "classical" mechanics that preceded it, is just a theory of nature.

Zelenskyy says 'time is right' for Ukraine to start process of joining EU
Zelenskyy says'time is right' for Ukraine to start process of joining EU Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told European Union leaders that now is the time to begin the process of Ukraine's accession to the bloc, describing a proposal for associate membership as "unfair". Zelenskyy said in a letter to EU leaders on Friday that associate membership would leave Ukraine "voiceless" because it would not have voting rights, which would prevent Kyiv from advancing its interests, the Reuters news agency reported. Under Orban, who maintained close ties with Russia, Budapest repeatedly used its veto power to block Ukraine's accession bid and stalled approval of aid for Kyiv. Zelenskyy's push for EU membership comes as both Kyiv and Moscow seek to advance their interests on the battlefield. The head of the Russian-occupied Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine said on Saturday the death toll from a drone attack a day earlier had risen to 10. Vladimir Putin has ordered his forces to respond to the attack, which allegedly hit a student dormitory in the town of Starobilsk.

A 'Golden Orb' on the Ocean Floor Came From a Mysterious Animal
A fascinating, unclassifiable orb found in the Gulf of Alaska is not an alien object, as some speculated, but the remains of a poorly documented animal. A golden orb found on the ocean floor. Three years ago, during an expedition at the bottom of the Gulf of Alaska, a submarine detected a golden orb that contrasted with surrounding rocks. Its smooth, organic surface did not resemble that of any known animal; the team immediately retrieved it for study. Now, at last, we know what it was.

All Vehicles Sold in the EU Must Be Able to Hook Up to a Breathalyzer
The measure is part of a European Union-led strategy to eliminate all drunk-driving-related deaths and injuries by 2050. As of July 1, all vehicles sold within the European Union must include a standard, preinstalled interface that allows a breathalyzer lock to be added to the ignition system. This measure is part of a larger strategy promoted by the EU to reduce drunk-driving-related deaths and injuries by at least 50 percent by 2030. The requirement falls under the Vision Zero program, launched by European authorities more than five years ago, which aims to eliminate alcohol-related traffic fatalities entirely--or get as close to zero as possible--by 2050. The measure also aligns with the timetable established in the EU's General Safety Regulation, which sets specific deadlines for manufacturers to incorporate various safety features into vehicle designs, starting at the factory.

New Zealand to invest in drones and fleet to shield maritime routes
A Philippine Navy band plays music to welcome the Royal New Zealand Navy frigate HMNZS Te Kaha upon arrival at the South Harbor, for a four-day goodwill visit in metro Manila in April 2017. New Zealand intends to spend about 1.6 billion New Zealand dollars ($936 million) on drones, ship maintenance and naval upgrades to bolster the island nation's maritime security at a time of increasing concern about supply routes. Defense Minister Chris Penk said Saturday that the government will invest in two types of drones: one for the southwest Pacific to provide long-duration intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; the other is a polar-capable vehicle that can operate from naval vessels in the Southern Ocean. "New Zealand's prosperity and security depend on the sea," Penk said in a statement. "Recent events have served as a reminder of how quickly disruptions to international shipping routes can affect economies and supply chains across the globe. The oceans are not a barrier to danger, but a vital national interest that must be actively secured."
