| It's August 2, 2022—National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. No better time to enjoy an ice cream sandwich than the middle of summer, so go have a few, on us. But if you don't like them, then... uh, replace with a similar treat. You do you. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 237 articles, 7 podcasts, 5 press releases, 333 tweets, and 16 YouTube videos | | | 1. Spotify Gets Separate Play and Shuffle Buttons | | Spotify is adding something we could've swore it had already: separate play and shuffle buttons. With them, listeners can choose between playing full albums or playlists in order or shuffling them. Y'know, like other music services. One catch: it's only coming for paying Spotify subscribers. Ugh! | | 2. Sony's EVO 2022 Livestream Could Reveal New Fighting Games | | Fighting game tournament Evolution Championship Series is back in person for the first time since 2019, but if you can't attend, Sony has you covered. The company is planning a livestream of the event, with plenty of "reveals" from game devs like Capcom and Bandai Namco. You excited, fighting game fans? | | 3. Amazon Offers Delivery From Local Stores | | Amazon kicked off a new local same-day delivery program that allows Prime members to order directly from certain shops in their area. It's limited to select cities like Atlanta, Dallas, and Jersey City, and there are even fewer brands on board right now, but hey, at least it's something, right? | | | More people have phones than a console. | | | People play games on a variety of hardware, but based on the chart above, a majority spend their gaming time on smartphones. Everyone has a phone within reach at all times, after all. The least popular is, surprisingly, the Nintendo Switch. Wow. And sorry, PC, maybe you'll overtake consoles one day. | | | "I knew it, Bluetooth is magic." —Kyree Leary, Associate News Editor | | | Ditch keys; embrace prints | | Using a physical key to open your front door? Boring. Using your fingerprint? Very cool. That's what you get with eufy's Security Smart Lock Touch. Do you need this? Probably not, but we know you want it, because who wants to keep carrying keys around? Not us, and not you. And, again, this is way cooler. | | | |
