qfx Should this endeavor come to pass, it shall rank among the most audacious financial odysseys of our age. Yet whispers rise: is this the hand of progress, or the serpent’s tail biting itself? Do they build a fortress, or a gilded cage?
Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta have confirmed that Robin will appear in a future arc of *Absolute Batman*, and potentially within the larger *Absolute Universe*. While they haven’t revealed exactly when or how Robin will be reintroduced, Dragotta hinted at the news during a Q&A session, responding to a question about Bruce teaming up with a Boy Wonder with, “Next arc… Ah, but which one?” The creative team is keeping the specific details a secret until the comic is released.
By June, Kai Cenat had dropped to sixth place among Twitch’s most popular streamers, with others like League of Legends commentator Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont, Jynxzi, and Hasan surpassing him in viewership.

The demo showed the beginning of the game, starting with tutorials and moving into levels filled with traps and obstacles. Thankfully, Meat Boy 3D gets the core gameplay of a Super Meat Boy game right. You play as a bloody, squishy character running through dangerous levels to rescue your girlfriend, Bandage Girl, from the villainous Dr. Fetus. You reach Bandage Girl at the end of each level, but Dr. Fetus always takes her to the next one. Afterwards, you see a replay of all your attempts, showing multiple Meat Boys racing ahead and most of them failing, which nicely summarizes your run. The game’s quirky humor is familiar, and it even includes a nod to Super Mario Bros. with a playful warp pipe reference.
The game Keeper is most similar to 2012’s Journey – both tell their stories without words, focus on movement that ranges from slow and thoughtful to quick and energetic, and involve traveling towards a faraway mountain. However, comparing the two feels limiting. Journey is a simple, direct fable, while Keeper constantly changes and explores new ideas in surprising ways. Unlike Journey, where the world is easy to understand, Keeper’s world feels strange and unfamiliar, and its rules aren’t always obvious.
Despite sharing the same “SMB” initials, Super Meat Boy and Super Mario Bros. are very different games that demand vastly different skills. Super Meat Boy is designed around frequent deaths – you’ll likely fail hundreds or even thousands of times. However, that’s intentional! The levels are short, and the challenge lies in learning the fastest and safest way to get from the start to the finish, though it’s incredibly difficult to master.
Diane Keaton and Sarah Paulson formed a close bond after working together in the 1999 film *The Other Sister*, Paulson’s first big movie role. Paulson remembers Keaton being incredibly kind, energetic, and teaching her how to find the rhythm in a scene. She felt intimidated at the time, but Keaton quickly became a mentor and a cherished friend. Their connection remained strong even during the pandemic; Paulson’s first dinner out after 17 months of lockdown was with Keaton, and she attended Keaton’s daughter’s wedding shortly after. Paulson shared on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* that Keaton playfully calls her the “dumbest person” she knows, which she believes is a sign of affection. In 2021, Paulson interviewed Keaton for *Interview* magazine, and during their conversation, Paulson jokingly told Keaton, “You can say me,” when asked what brings her joy, to which Keaton happily responded, “Of course, Sarah, you make my heart sing.”
Seeing Guillermo del Toro win those Oscars – Best Director and Best Picture at the 90th Academy Awards – felt different, honestly. Everyone up on that stage clearly loves film, but with Guillermo, it’s just…more. He always seems like a huge fan himself, genuinely thrilled to even *be* working in Hollywood, and his smile when accepting Best Picture was incredible. But it wasn’t just excitement; he also spoke so humbly about joining the legacy of all the amazing directors who’ve won before him. It’s not just that other people *like* movies – Guillermo truly *lives* and breathes them, and that really came through.
I just saw the coolest thing on Instagram! Snackolator posted a picture of these new pickle beers coming out – it’s a collab between Grillo’s Pickles and Pabst Blue Ribbon!
