Similar to how Remote Raids let you battle in raids from anywhere, Remote Trades allow you to trade Pokémon with others, no matter where they are. However, you’ll need to reach a new, higher level of friendship called “Forever Friends” with the player before you can use this feature.

I was really bummed to see the news that Meta was making cuts to its Reality Labs division – that’s the team behind their VR games. It seems like those cuts actually happened quickly, because just yesterday, developers from several of those studios – like the ones working on those games – started posting on X and other social media that they’d been laid off. It’s a tough situation, and I’m sad to see talented people losing their jobs.

Kickstarter hasn’t always been successful, but many fantastic projects have been created thanks to the enthusiasm and support of people who wanted to see them happen.

Kai Cenat is a veteran streamer who consistently breaks records. He recently had another massive broadcast, Mafiathon 3, which made him the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch – surpassing even his own previous achievements.

Over the years, several follow-up manga series to Battle Royale have been created, but like the original, they’re often difficult to find because they weren’t printed in large quantities. The newest series, Battle Royale: Enforcers, started in 2022 and is set in the same world, decades after the first story. It begins when a government AI restarts the deadly Program 68, forcing the students of Class F at Daitoa Academy to fight for their lives in armed squads. Four volumes of the series have been published in English so far.

Kai Cenat is a veteran in the world of live streaming. He recently broke his own record for the most subscribers on Twitch during his latest marathon stream, Mafiathon 3, solidifying his place as one of the platform’s biggest stars.

Even from the beginning of Big Hops, it’s clear what inspired the game’s movement. Hop controls a lot like Mario in Super Mario Odyssey, with similar jumps and even a sliding move to maintain speed. But it doesn’t stop there! You can also run on walls, similar to games like Prince of Persia or Titanfall, and climb almost any surface like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – though your stamina limits how long you can hold on. Hop’s long tongue isn’t just for catching bugs and fruit; it’s a grappling hook that lets you swing and grab onto things. All these moves feel intuitive, and a big part of the enjoyment in Big Hops comes from figuring out how to combine them all together.

Game of Thrones demonstrated the potential of George R.R. Martin’s detailed universe, transforming political fantasy into a must-watch show. It reintroduced dragons to popular culture and became notorious for unexpectedly killing off major characters – as famously seen in the ‘Red Wedding.’ Importantly, Game of Thrones brought a previously specialized genre into the mainstream.
