Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang allegedly had an 'intimate relationship' with a second Nvidia employee, according to reports

1 Share

Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang allegedly had an "intimate relationship" with a second Nvidia employee, according to Reuters.

This new allegation comes after Huang's resignation yesterday, following his admission of an affair, believed to be with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, and a New York Times report of another extramarital affair with Nvidia VP Kimberly Powell.

Reuters has chosen not to name the second Nvidia employee in question, but says the information comes from "two people familiar with the matter."

Huang's resignation from Nvidia came as a shock to many yesterday, marking a change in leadership at the top of one of the world's most valuable companies, and the fall of a key figure at the heart of the AI boom.

Huang has been replaced by an interim CEO at Nvidia, previous chief financial officer Colette Kress. The company's share price has since shown signs of recovery since the announcement of his departure, after dropping considerably during the tumult caused by the initial allegations, and the uncertainty regarding Huang's future at the company.

It's understood that the ex-Nvidia chief is scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee alongside US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick in the coming weeks, regarding concerns over national security in relation to the initial allegations.

Of course, not all sci-fi trilogies are created equal. Plenty start strong only to flame out in book two or three, while others admittedly take a while to get good. But there are plenty of perfect trilogies, too. Polygon has rounded up five sci-fi book trilogies that are worth your time from start to finish. Check out the list below.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is getting New Game+ next week

1 Share

Rebel Wolves has confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker is getting New Game+ as part of its 1.2 update next week.

Despite a number of nominations and bringing out one of the best vampire games of the modern era, The Blood of Dawnwalker didn't pick up any awards at the Golden Joystick Awards this week. It did come close, with a second place finish in PC Game of the Year and Best Storytelling, and a fifth place finish in Ultimate Game of the Year. The ex-CD Projekt Red devs at Rebel Wolves were happy with their performance, and clearly haven't let the narrow losses faze them, as the game's next major patch is coming very soon.

As announced by Rebel Wolves on Reddit, The Blood of Dawnwalker 1.2 update releases next week. This update will include balance changes with enemy health pools and ability use being tweaked as well as terrain adjustments to improve movement around the world. But the headline act of this new update is New Game+ finally arriving in the game.

"If you completed the Epilogue, you can dive right back into Vale Sangora with New Game+." the post reads. As part of this mode, the level cap is being raised to 100, with enemies balanced and scaled accordingly. On top of that, items will receive New Game+ versions with updated stats, too.

The average playthrough of The Blood of Dawnwalker is around 25 hours according to HowLongToBeat, so this new addition should help you get even more out of what is considered "short" by RPG standards.

6 things I need from The Blood of Dawnwalker's sequel.

Overwatch's creative director accidentally leaks the name of season 6's upcoming hero and reveals that he 'got the highest scores of any hero that we've tested'

1 Share

Earlier this year, during the Overwatch Spotlight in which Team 4 promised a different approach to managing the live service game, 10 heroes were teased. Five were released straight away, with Sierra, Shion, D.Mon, and Doctrine all being added to the game in subsequent seasons. This has left just one hero for the last season of the year, who also just so happened to be the hero I was most excited about back when the Spotlight was released.

But good things come to those who wait, and now after the better part of a year we finally know more about this final hero. His character design was shown at BlizzCon, which showed him to be omnic detective (my hype was well placed), but now we also know that he'll be joining the DPS class in season 6, although that wasn't always the plan.

"Back at Spotlight—I forget who I was talking to—we said we were going to do a support in season 6," associate game director Alec Dawson said during a stream with Flats and Emongg. "And originally that was the plan. But as things developed as the hero developed, as we got to mechanics, how they matched with the aesthetic, how they matched with who the hero is supposed to be," things changed. The decision was ultimately taken to switch him to the DPS role. "I don't know what else I'm allowed to say," Dawson adds. "I'll let Aaron [Keller, game director] say anything else."

"We'll just spill it all," Keller says, and that he does. "Megan just slacked that we've said enough but there's a couple of other things that I want to say about him. One of the cool things about this, so there was like a bit of a pivot on Hudson (accidentally leaks his name), oh whoops." Well there it is folks: the omnic detective is called Hudson, a cool name for a cool dude, it all checks out.

As a support main I am a little sad to hear about this change to DPS, but seeing as Team 4 explained how they "leaned into the things we loved the most about this hero and it definitely fit DPS a lot better", I'm happy with the change. I'll just have to put support aside for a couple of months, because there's no way I'm missing out on this hero.

This isn't just because he looks cool; according to Keller, Hudson is the most popular hero to-date among their internal and external testers: "We're always testing stuff and we have a user research group here and we'll bring in external players and stuff like that, and this hero by far got the highest scores of any hero that we've tested with these groups. I think he's so much fun."

To put this into perspective, the second most popular hero among testers within the last few years is Juno; a hero I would consider to be one of the best in recent Overwatch history. Her kit is fun, intuitive, and gels with her character design. So if that's the bar Hudson has beaten then my excitement is yet again very well placed. Oh, and Dawson says "he has a very fun accent", which really seals the deal for me.
