I hadn’t been truly captivated by a roguelike since *Spelunky* until I played Hades. Supergiant Games created something special with its compelling story, beautiful design, fantastic music, and incredibly polished gameplay – it kept me coming back for years on different devices.
The second season of *Alice in Borderland* finally explained the mystery behind the Borderlands, despite the Queen of Hearts continuing to manipulate Arisu. The finale revealed that the Borderlands exist between life and death, and the people participating in the games are actually in comas, fighting for their lives back in the real world.
Crypto ETFs, you see, are supposed to be the golden ticket for folks who’ve never touched a blockchain in their life. But Philion? He’s got a different take. “Ain’t gonna last,” he cackles. Why? Because the grumpy old boomers and Gen X’ers-who own all the money-still think finance is a box of chocolates. Meanwhile, the kids today? They’d sooner hold their cash on a blockchain than trust a middleman. It’s like trying to teach a cat to fetch. 🐾
In December 1991, firefighters found the bodies of four teenage girls – Jennifer Harbison (17), Sarah Harbison (15), Eliza Thomas (17), and Amy Ayers (13) – inside an I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt shop. They had been tied up, silenced, and fatally shot. A fire was deliberately set at the shop, damaging crucial evidence. Four men were initially arrested and one was even sentenced to death, but his conviction was later overturned. Ultimately, prosecutors dropped all charges in 2009 when DNA evidence proved the men weren’t involved. The unsolved murders, the initial police investigation, and the subsequent legal battles were recently detailed in a four-part documentary on HBO.
While Tether and other stablecoins continue to expand, analysts warn that rapid adoption carries financial risks, particularly to central banks’ ability to control interest rates and maintain exchange rate stability. 🤯💸
There are different bonuses depending on how you preorder Nioh 3. If you buy the physical Steelbook Launch Edition, you’ll receive a special steel case with unique artwork, plus two in-game charms: the Lucky Tanuki Netsuke and the Kusanagi Netsuke. This edition is limited, so preordering is recommended if you want it. A standard physical copy is also available, but it won’t include the steel case or the extra in-game items.
It’s been three years since the second *Avatar* movie came out in theaters (and is available on Disney+), so you might want a refresher before the new film, *Fire and Ash*, arrives. Luckily, Variety reports that James Cameron’s sequel will be re-released in October. And here’s a treat: screenings will include a first look at new footage from *Fire and Ash*. However, there’s a catch – three different clips were made, and each showing will only play one of them.
Early footage reveals a large, powerful character battling a much smaller ninja. It showcases the kind of expertly-timed action that Genndy Tartakovsky is known for. He shared that the Knight Armor in the project is massive – 20 feet tall – and operated from within by a knight using a system of ropes, pulleys, and levers. The story is set around the 14th century, making it a sort of medieval robot battle. Tartakovsky’s post is gaining a lot of attention, with celebrities like Bobby Moynihan and Jack Quaid showing their enthusiasm in the comments.
It looks like those who tried to get Jimmy Kimmel canceled haven’t succeeded. Last week, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was temporarily pulled off the air after the head of the FCC, Brendan Carr, publicly criticized a joke Kimmel made. Carr believed the joke implied someone connected to Charlie Kirk’s attacker was a supporter of Donald Trump. He hinted that ABC, the network airing the show, could face issues with its operating licenses. Shortly after, several media companies, including Nexstar and Sinclair, announced they would stop airing *JKL!*. However, ABC quickly brought Kimmel back, and the show achieved record ratings. Carr later said he wasn’t involved in the decisions by the media companies, and both Sinclair and Nexstar have now reversed their boycott. Donald Trump remains upset about the situation, though.
It may descend by another 11% should it fail to cling to the sacred 3,900, lest the coins stage a further bow and exit stage left. 😅
