This ISO 20022 entanglement, dear reader, is less a leap and more a cautious shuffle toward the traditional banking ballroom. Smoother transactions? Check. Faster reconciliations? Check. Regulatory compliance? A necessary evil, perhaps. Yet one cannot help but wonder: will this make Pi a darling of institutions, or merely a guest who overstays its welcome? 🤔
Éric Ciotti, the chap at the helm of the French political outfit UDR, has unveiled a bill that’s got more twists than a Jeeves plot. The plan? To amass a staggering 420,000 bitcoins (or BTC, as the fellows in the know call it) over the next seven to eight years. Quite the tall order, what? 🧑💻
The company, in its infinite wisdom, plans to repurchase up to 150 million shares by the 29th of October, 2026. A date, one presumes, of no small significance. 📅
Many dedicated Star Wars fans consider Visions to be one of the weakest TV shows because it doesn’t connect to the larger Star Wars story. But I’ve always appreciated it; it really stands out for its originality and unique approaches to the Star Wars universe, offering something different from everything else we’ve seen.
With the release of Zootopia 2 getting closer, movie theaters are starting to showcase special items like themed popcorn buckets. Disney is building excitement for the sequel, which comes a decade after the popular 2016 film.
The coin, which recently hit rock bottom-the kind that makes you question your investments and your life choices-has apparently rebounded by more than half since the October crash that made everyone wish they’d become bakers instead. Yet, it’s still down 91%, a statistic that would make even the stoic Gogol shed a tear of bitter humor. “A triumph,” they say-if only from the perspective of a gambler dreaming of a comeback and a plot twist.
The games Balatro and Vampire Survivors have had a huge impact on game development recently. Both were initially created by single developers and became surprisingly popular. Balatro even received a Game of the Year nomination in 2024, competing with major titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Now, we’re seeing a lot of new games that borrow ideas from these titles – either roguelikes inspired by Balatro, or ‘survivors-like’ games. This new style of game is quickly becoming a genre of its own, and people are already referring to it with terms similar to ‘Metroidvania’ or ‘souls-like’.
The remaining 18,500 ETH? Oh, just a modest fortune stretching far beyond the horizon-valued at over $80 million. Yes, dears, that’s a delightful 12,971 times their original investment. The network’s been blooming while they’ve been snoozing! So, this little escapade just proves that patience, cheeky little thing that it is, still pays handsome dividends in this wild crypto romance. 🚀🥂
I’m so excited! I just read that refint/games is reporting the Switch version of the game will be able to run at 4K at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps handheld on the new Nintendo Switch 2. It’s awesome that even though it’s not a brand new game made for the Switch 2, it’ll still look and play so much better through backwards compatibility!
