The worry is that John's contemporaries won't either. A surge of online extremism and disinformation has arrived at a time of lockdown-induced isolation, loneliness and home-schooling, creating what police call a "perfect storm". One British far-right group has even started pushing an alternative white-supremacist school curriculum for lockdown learning.
His swift journey from lonely adolescent to UK leader of the Feuerkrieg Division is disquieting not for its uniqueness but for its part in a growing pattern.

10 Best Video Games Featuring DC Characters, Ranked | ScreenRant
DC Comics has been entertaining fans for almost a century, with their high-flying superheroes and world-dominating villains unleashing their powers in the world of comics, movies, television, and gaming. But gaming is where the company has had more than a few weak points; when it comes to DC characters and video games, absolutely none hold a candle to the sheer amount of Batman titles.

Superman , arguably the poster boy for DC, has had the absolute worst luck in the world of gaming, as developers have struggled to handle his sheer amount of power. Even Wonder Woman and The Flash have not been able to stick the landing with their respective games, not that there have been many attempts. When it comes to DC Comics in video games, Batman is almost needed to usher in the rest of the roster, which is why he dominates the entries in this list.
Gideon Jacobs on photography and video games - Artforum International
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY exactly when photography “went digital,” but a helpful benchmark is January 19, 2012, the day the Eastman Kodak Company filed for bankruptcy. A little over a decade earlier, digital cameras entered the mainstream consumer market. Soon after, the same technology began to be incorporated into a new, suddenly ubiquitous device: the cell phone.
Recently, I’ve been wondering if we might end up looking back on June 30, 2020, as another red-letter date in the history of photography. That was the day licensing behemoth Getty Images announced they were partnering with video game development studio Polyphony Digital Inc. to serve as the exclusive photo agency of the Gran Turismo Championships.

Build colonies or save spacecraft in the best video games set on Mars | New Scientist
Mars is a common locale for many first-person shooters, with games in the Doom , Destiny and Call of Duty series all featuring levels on its dry, dusty surface, but they rarely do very much interesting with the setting.
One exception is Doom Eternal , which I reviewed last year. As you fight your way through endless demon hordes, it becomes clear you must journey to hell through a portal at the centre of Mars. How? Why, by commandeering a massive laser on Mars’s moon Phobos and blasting a gigantic crater into the planet’s surface .
The best and worst uses of ice and snow in video games - Polygon
Winter means different things to different people around the world, but I grew up in Ohio and Kentucky. So for me, winter means riding sleds down huge hills, making snow angels, and staying home from school seemingly once a week due to snow days. Snow and ice defined my childhood when it came to winter, but video games may be the only experience of wintry weather for many people around the world.
Snow and ice are fascinating tools when it comes to game design; they have so many uses! A blizzard can obscure a character's vision, adding tension to a scene. Ice may make a level slippery, so players have to adjust how they navigate the world. The cold may also sap energy, making it an environmental threat.
