As Netflix expands its suite of original programming it’s going to the nostalgia well once again. The good news here is that instead of another sitcom spinoff like Fuller House, we’re getting Voltron: Legendary Defender. Today at Wondercon 2016 its partner Dreamworks Animation showed off a teaser trailer and some artwork that confirm everything at least looks right to children of the 80s.
​

The first 13 episodes are slated to arrive June 10th, with what executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos told USA Today will be a mix of "epic adventure" and "the campy nature of five lions that become a giant robot." Its cast includes Tyler Labine, Josh Keaton, Jeremy Shada, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Kimberly Brooks, Rhys Darby and The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun — but we’re pretty sure you stopped reading at "giant robot."

Nik is the German company behind popular mobile app Snapseed, and a bunch of fantastic plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. The company was bought in 2012 by Google, and all of its plugins have just been made free.

There’s seven plugins up for grabs, including fantastic HDR and color filters that I’ve been using for years. The full set was originally priced at $500; Google dropped that price to $150, before making it free today. Anyone who bought the plugins earlier in 2016 can also go get a refund, which is a classy move.

Making the plugins free does imply that Google isn’t planning on developing Nik’s desktop photography any further, but hey: if you have to grieve, a bunch of free software does help ease the pain.
