"After Dark Alliance launches, our Dark And Darker Gold main priority is supporting 2-player split-screen couch co-op for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. We’re working to have this ready for our first free DLC this summer," the tweet says.

Dark Alliance itself is due out on June 22, in just a few weeks. It's set in D;D's wintry Icewind Dale region, which you may have fought your way across in...Icewind Dale and its sequel. This is a more action-focused game that Fraser described as "D;D for the impatient".

Dark mode in Windows 11 plays different sounds intended to keep you calm

If you find that Windows 11 sounds different when switching between light and dark modes, it's not your ears playing tricks on you, but part of an effort by Microsoft towards "making the technology calm." Apparently softer sounds have a calming effect.

I don't dispute this—if you scream in my face and someone else whispers the same comment word-for-word, I'll find the whisper infinitely more calming. But does it really matter when it comes to playing various sounds in Windows 11? Microsoft seems to think so.

"Windows 10 sounds were sharp, literally created with sharp wavelengths," Microsoft explained to BleepingComputer. "In Windows 11, we have focused on making the technology calm. In order to do this, we needed to reevaluate our soundscape to also be calm."

Microsoft likens this to the work it put into the visual design language that is applied to buy Dark And Darker Gold Windows 11 as a whole. It's not a jarring change from Windows 10, but if you look closely, you will notice things like rounded corners. Likewise, Microsoft applied the same philosophy to the sounds "to soften the overall feel of the experience."
