On October 5th, Lululemon Studio will be accessible.

Lululemon will introduce a new membership program on October 5th that calls for the Mirror at-home workout gadget. The 10,000 on-demand and livestream classes previously available with a Mirror subscription are expanded upon by Lululemon Studio. Members can sign up for in-person lessons at their brick-and-mortar locations at a reduced rate, stream new sessions that are released each week, and access archived online content from studio partners. Eight partner studios are now listed in the program, including AARMY, Y7 Studio, DOGPOUND, FORWARD Space, Pure Barre, Rumble, AKT, and YogaSix. Additionally, members will receive discounts on Lululemon goods and early entry to company events.

The New York Times points out that the new initiative is a component of the business’s efforts to broaden Mirror’s appeal. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-related lockdowns, when individuals were forced to exercise at home, Lululemon paid $500 million for the interactive home gym startup Mirror. As limitations loosened, people once more flocked to gyms. The demand for at-home fitness companies’ products has significantly decreased, and their sales are declining as a result. For instance, Peloton experienced a significant loss of $757.1 million in the first three months of 2022. Lululemon itself reduced their projected Mirror sales for 2021 from $250 million to $275 million to between $125 and $130 million.

All current Mirror subscription holders will immediately upgrade to Studio memberships, which will cost $39 each month. Those who don’t already own a Mirror will need to purchase one initially. Lululemon will offer Mirror for a brief period of time beginning on October 5th at a price of $795 (originally $1,495) in an effort to decrease the entry barrier.

Fans of Final Fantasy 16 disagree as new debate over the squeeze gap begins

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list.  The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:

  1. Sony Interactive Entertainment
  2. Paradox Interactive
  3. Activision Blizzard
  4. Focus Entertainment
  5. Take-Two Interactive
  6. Capcom
  7. SEGA
  8. Annapurna Interactive
  9. Humble Games
  10. Devolver Digital
