One in 10 Japanese gamers admit financial struggles due to in-game purchases

Let’s be real, microtransactions are everywhere in gaming now. We see it a lot with free-to-play games and those gacha ones, but it’s getting annoying that even if you buy a full game, they’re trying to get you to spend more on things that are supposed to make it more fun. It feels like a cash grab sometimes.

Star Trek’s Picard Episode “I, Borg” Will Go Down in Sci-Fi TV History

God of War Game’s Kratos on Why Ryan Hurst’s Casting Is Perfect

To many fans, Christopher Judge is Kratos.

Late Night’s ‘A Closer Look’ Theme Song Finally Gets Lyrics

Now that this song has lyrics, someone will earn royalties from ASCAP, which is good news for them. Interestingly, even if the lyrics aren’t actually sung, the money still comes in. Johnny Carson and Gene Roddenberry both benefited from this, or rather, their estates do now. It seems they’re no longer with us, so the payments go to those who manage their legacies.

Southern Charm Recap: Otherwise Engaged

Shep is back from a trip to Cuba and will be staying with Craig temporarily because his new house isn’t finished yet, while he’s making money renting out his old place on Airbnb – which seems a bit questionable, especially given the housing crisis. It raises a lot of questions about how he was even able to travel to Cuba. It’s unclear if Americans can easily get visas there for leisure activities like fishing, and whether he’d have no trouble re-entering the US. It makes you wonder if immigration authorities might get involved. It’s all confusing – did we acquire Cuba somehow, maybe as part of a deal with Venezuela? Living in England, I remember the UK giving back most of its Caribbean possessions, so I’m not even sure who controls those resources anymore.
