Spurs to get new jerseys next season
Spurs to get new jerseys next season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs have one of the most iconic jerseys in the NBA. They aren't flashy, they aren't bold, but the Silver and Black is synonymous with winning. Advertisement The Spurs, according to Basketball Jersey Archive, will get a redesign before next season, joining the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs, last season, had four jerseys. Their Association and Icon, which were white and black with a classic "Spurs" across the chest, the "City Editions," with the icy light blue that paid homage to the Hemisphere, and the Statement edition, with a bold "SATX" across the chest and small homages to the Latin American poulation up and down the jersey and shorts. The expectation is that the Statement addition will be the one replaced, and fans are urging the team to return to the Fiesta colorway of the 1990s that has been featured in recent years. The Spurs have also been encouraged to go back to the classic black on black from the George Gervin era, which they paid homage to two seasons ago. Fans would likely prefer to see some Alamo imagery on the jerseys, although the State of Texas does not typically sign off on officially licensed merchandise, preventing the Spurs from leaning into the motif. Advertisement With the popularity in recent years of throwbacks and Fiesta colorways, the Spurs are expected to abandon the black "SATX" jerseys and lean into something a bit bolder.

Chaotic deliveries, colorful co-op action RPGs and other new indie games worth checking out
Hey there! Welcome to our weekly indie games roundup. We've got lots to get through this time, including some news before we highlight some brand-new games you can play right now. Indie journal publisher Lost in Cult is moving into physical game releases with a label called Editions. The focus here is on preservation — all of the games that it releases will be available to play offline, with no updates required. Physical game preservation team Does it Play? is playtesting each release. There are premium, limited-edition versions of each game with a slipcase cover, essay booklet, poster and more, as well as retail copies. There will be new releases every month, and the first batch includes a couple of humdingers: Immortality and Thank Goodness You're Here . The Excavation of Hob's Barrow , a point-and-click folk horror game rounds out the trio of debut titles. Really looking forward to seeing where Editions goes from here. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The latest Six One Indie showcase took place this week. I've mentioned a game or two that was featured in it below ( Game Informer has a list of all the announcements), but I just want to call out a couple of things here. The score for 1000xResist , one of the best-received games of 2024, is getting a vinyl release in October. Pre-orders are open now. Also, the game that closed out the show has somehow flown under my radar. Dinoblade is an upcoming hack-and-slash action RPG that puts big blades in the jaws of big dinosaurs. Hell yeah. Meanwhile, the folks behind the showcase have set up their own publishing label, Six One Indie Publishing. We've got a ton of other gaming showcases coming up over the next few weeks as Summer Game Fest bobbles on the horizon. Fans of brainteasers may want to catch the Thinky Direct showcase from the Thinky Games community. The hour-long stream starts on May 29 at 1PM ET (just as the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase begins on Steam) It will focus on, you guessed it, puzzle games and other titles that should give your brain a workout. You'll be able to watch the stream on YouTube. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Meanwhile, a fun showcase of spy games just premiered. The 25-minute video highlights games across several genres that are largely about snoopin' and sneakin'. All of them, including a bundle of the I Expect You To Die VR trilogy, are featured in the Spy Video Game Rendezvous festival on Steam. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Deliver At All Costs was among this week's newcomers. It's an action game in which you play a courier in the '50s. As the name suggests, your primary goal is to deliver your cargo, no matter what. Reviews are mixed for this one but, hey, it's free on the Epic Games Store until 11AM ET on May 29. You can also get it on Steam for 10 percent off the regular price of $30 for the time being. The game is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Speaking of vehicle-oriented destruction, it can be a chore to get the first few Grand Theft Auto games running on modern hardware. I live for chaos and Maniac , from Transhuman Design and publisher Skystone Games, reminds me a bit of those early, top-down GTA entries (which were made in my hometown, fact fans). It's out now on Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, a little over a year after debuting on Steam. I can't promise it'll tide you over for a year until GTA 6 drops, but Maniac will run you just five bucks. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a co-op action RPG that just came out of early access on Steam and landed on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. With its colorful visuals, it reminds me a bit of Hi-Fi Rush , aesthetically. There's a town-building aspect to this as well. I didn't get around to digging into the game during early access. Reviews have been pretty solid so far, though, so I'm hoping to try out Lynked (from FuzzyBot and publisher Dreamhaven) soon. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. A few seconds into the latest trailer for Tales of Seikyu , I spotted a centaur, which was enough to catch my attention. This yokai fantasy life sim from ACE Entertainment and Fireshine Games is out now in early access on Steam. You can morph into other forms (including a slime!) to help with navigation and combat in this one. Centaurs and slimes, what's not to love? To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Here's one for the turn-based strategy/history enthusiasts out there. Bonaparte - A Mechanized Revolution (the debut game from Studio Imugi) sees you take control of units like a giant commandant mech in a battle for the future of France. Expect some political intrigue from this one, which is out now on Steam early access. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Chrono Odyssey has picked up plenty of momentum, as more than 400,000 people have already signed up to try it out. The horror-tinged, open-world MMORPG from Kakao Games and Chrono Studio will have a closed beta on Steam next month. It's also set to be featured at the Summer Game Fest Live showcase on June 6. The latest trailer looks deliciously creepy. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Any game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi is worth paying attention to. Even more so when publisher Annapurna Interactive is on board. And when it's a game that has a "call unicycle" button, I'm triple sold. Life-sim To a T tells the story of a teenager whose body gets stuck in a T-pose, with their arms stuck out to the sides. Thankfully, they have a cute pup who helps them actually do things. A delightful demo is out now on Steam, and the game will hit PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 28. This one will be available day one on Game Pass. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. We've mentioned The Wandering Village a few times over the years and the game is finally coming out of early access on Steam on July 17. It'll also hit PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on the same day. This is a city-building sim that takes place on the back of a giant creature. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. I do enjoy the voxel destruction of sandbox heist game Teardown . So I was happy to hear that Tuxedo Labs and Coffee Stain are set to release another expansion next month. This time, we're going to space, as all great franchises (i.e the Leprechaun movies) eventually do. The Greenwash Gambit DLC will arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on June 24. It'll cost $8, but owners of the season pass and ultimate edition will get access at no extra cost. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Artis Impact 's pretty pixel art made an immediate impression on me during the Six One Indie showcase. It took Malaysian solo developer Mas four years to make this cozy RPG, which is "set in a decaying world ruled by rogue AI." Although the game has a main, linear main path, there are side quests, hidden interactions and random events to experience. A demo for Artis Impact is out now, and the full game is coming to Steam on August 7.

Shopify to lean more on AI with tools to create online stores, shopping assistants
Shopify Inc.'s latest round of product developments are leaning on artificial intelligence to help merchants and developers create everything from online stores to shopping assistants. The technology figures into many of the 150 product launches or enhancements the e-commerce software company announced Wednesday through its semi-annual Editions showcase. Shopify said the updates are part of a 'broader shift' it's making toward 'declarative commerce, where business owners simply express their goals, and AI handles the rest, freeing entrepreneurs to focus on creativity and growth rather than technical complexity.'

Shopify doubles down on AI with tools to create online stores, shopping assistants
