Upcoming ‘No Man’s Sky’ update promises to bring base building

The release of No Man’s Sky has drawn a lot of flak from players that felt like the game didn’t deliver what it promised. The great thing with games these days is updates arrive to help fix any issues or improve on said game. On that note, Hello Games announced an upcoming update that will bring things such as base building. It’ll be part of what Hello Games is calling “The Foundation Update.”

This update has been in the works for nine weeks but Hello Games warns players that they shouldn’t expect an entirely different in-game experience right away. The game developer calls it “the start of something” instead of a fully-formed update that changes the way you play. Hello Games also addressed the criticism they’ve been getting and says they’re focusing on improving the game instead of getting into debates.

Snap Inc.’s Spectacles comes with secret AR filter

We love a good Easter Egg in our tech products and it seems Snap Inc. has been able to hide a useful one in its wearable. The Spectacles have a hidden filter that’s basically an implementation of augmented reality. The tweet by Moshe Isaacian shows that once you point the glasses at the lettering on its protective case, it shows floating bubbles with what looks like snaps of other people or something that Snap Inc. has curated. While not groundbreaking, it shows what else Snap Inc. and Snapchat can do with the hard-to-find smart glasses.

Found a cool @Spectacles secret! If you point your Snapchat camera at package's lettering, it gives you a special filter!
