According to software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais, Valve didn’t consider existing consoles when developing the Steam Machine. Instead, they focused entirely on what was happening in the PC gaming world to guide their design.

A UFC blog post, penned with the gravity of a prophet, declared that Polymarket will inject a data-driven storytelling layer into live fight broadcasts. Picture this: a “Fan Prediction Scoreboard” that translates the audience’s collective anxiety into a live readout, like a heartbeat monitor for chaos. 😂💓
2Wai, a company, recently gained widespread attention after its founder, Calum Worthy, posted a touching video. The video showed a pregnant woman interacting with an AI version of her mother, who had passed away, using her phone. The clip then fast-forwards ten months to show the AI “grandmother” reading a bedtime story to the woman’s baby.
In the first season of Andor, Brasso was presented as a working-class resident of the planet Ferrix. Actor Joplin Sibtain played the character in nine episodes over the show’s first two seasons, but Brasso’s story ended in Season 2, Episode 3. Despite delivering a fantastic performance as Brasso, Sibtain wasn’t the first actor considered for the role.
The Amazon MGM Studios film, Play Dirty, launched on Prime Video on October 1, 2025, and has been a hit ever since, consistently ranking among the top 10 most-watched movies. Currently, it’s the eighth most popular title on the platform, positioned between the horror film The Woman in the Yard and the James Bond movie No Time to Die. Written and directed by Shane Black and adapted from the Parker novels by Donald E. Westlake, Play Dirty stars Mark Wahlberg as a professional thief planning his most ambitious robbery yet. Here’s what the movie is about:
AI-powered cryptocurrency scams are running riot! XRP holders, beware – these scammers are not only smart, they’re practically robotic 🤖. It’s time to stay extra vigilant!
The dinner conversation in St. George continues with Marciano and the women, and both he and Jessi have been cleared of any wrongdoing in that area. Jessi faces tough questioning about whether she’s been truthful, both about the situation with Marciano and about Demi. This leads to a discussion about how lie detectors actually work – they even wonder if a small, polite lie, like complimenting a questionable outfit, would register. It’s a healthy level of skepticism, and I appreciate everyone questioning things. Jessi steps away to call Jordan, and the conversation doesn’t go well. He was aware of the lie detector test but is angry that Marciano is even there. Honestly, he should be upset with the show’s producers, not turning this into a dramatic storyline to prove he’s trying to save his marriage. It feels less like a fight for his marriage and more like just a fight, period.
The second season of The Vince Staples Show, which recently premiered, uses the story of O.J. Simpson – reimagined as a character named James Brown, but clearly inspired by both O.J. and Jim Brown, and also a completely made-up person – to explore complex ideas. Staples himself is hard to categorize when it comes to his artistic influences. He’ll mention admired filmmakers like Roy Andersson, then quickly admit he still loves Back to the Future III. His comedy often feels like a playful challenge, leaving you wondering if he’s being serious or not – and sometimes, he isn’t, and sometimes he is.
Like the rest of this season of The Golden Bachelor, Mel remains a pretty passive presence, while the women around him consistently bring the energy, charm, and even some impressive wardrobe solutions to keep the show interesting. I’ve teased Mel before – and enjoyed his skepticism about stingrays – but this episode is particularly tough for anyone rooting for him. Seriously, are there even Mel fans out there? (Melniacs, let me hear you!) It’s clear the producers are working hard to salvage the rocky Fantasy Suites and create a satisfying finale. Ultimately, I think the show would be much better if they just removed the expectation of an engagement.
