The Morning After: AI-generated emoji could soon come to the iPhone
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that AI-generated emojis may be one of the new features Apple shows off at WWDC next month. If the current emoji library weren't overwhelming enough (let alone my increasingly growing sticker collection both on Messages and WhatsApp), Gurman writes that the company is developing software that can create custom emojis on the fly, based on what users are texting."

The game was just added to Capcom's Platinum Titles list, meaning it's crossed the threshold of one million units sold. Don't do it to yourself, please. May I suggest the remade RE2 (or 3), or one of the myriad Resident Evil 4 remakes. Or if you feel like having a heart attack, any of the Resident Evil games made for VR.
