Many disc-based games still require internet to function, tracker reveals

A project called DoesItPlay tracks physical video games that cannot be played without an internet connection. Despite being sold on disc, many modern games require online access for installation, activation, or core functionality. This challenges the common assumption that owning a physical copy guarantees long-term playability. The issue raises concerns about game preservation, as server shutdowns can render disc-based titles permanently unplayable. DoesItPlay aims to inform consumers about which physical games are truly offline-capable.

Space Force Mission Tests Orbital Maneuvering in Simulated Space Combat

A Space Force-backed mission has conducted orbital maneuvering exercises designed to simulate close-range spacecraft engagements in orbit. The operation tested the ability of satellites or spacecraft to pursue, evade, and respond to potential adversarial craft in space. Unlike aerial dogfights, space-based maneuvering lacks the visceral drama of atmospheric combat due to the physics of orbital mechanics. The exercise reflects growing U.S. military interest in developing space domain awareness and defensive capabilities in orbit.

NASA's Curiosity Rover Discovers Vast Honeycomb Polygon Field in Martian Valley

NASA's Curiosity rover has found an expansive field of honeycomb-shaped polygonal fractures in a Martian valley known as Valle Grande. The geometric patterns, each measuring roughly 1.5 to 3 inches wide, have been spotted by Curiosity before, but never at this scale. The rover captured a full 360-degree panorama of the formation on June 19th and 20th, during Martian sols 4,930 and 4,931. Project scientist Ashwin Vasavada noted that the team has been actively studying the unusual terrain. The discovery marks a significant find in understanding the geological history of the Martian surface.
