New on Steam. Dying Light: The Beast takes the spotlight this week, joined by loads of DLCs

by

This week, we had no doubts about which game to pick as the release of the week. Dying Light: The Beast is the latest installment of the hit first-person action game series from Techland. The title is supposed to be a return to the atmosphere and high level of difficulty from the first installment. At the same time, it will also offer a lot of new features, partly because the main character will be a hybrid of a human and a zombie.

Rejected applicant reveals Nintendo’s “extremely difficult” hiring exam

by

Growing up, Nintendo games were a huge part of my life, so the thought of actually *working* there always seemed like a total dream job. And apparently, I’m not alone! A report came out last year saying Nintendo is the third most popular company to work for in Japan, which honestly doesn’t surprise me at all – it’s a super desirable place to be.

XRP ETF: The Revolution or Just Another Scam? 🚀

by

Apparently, tracking the ‘performance’ of XRP before subtracting all the fees and expenses is now considered a service. Bless their hearts. They want a piece of your hard-earned kopeks, and they’re willing to call it “direct exposure” to the third-largest… well, let’s just say ‘digital curiosity’ by market cap.

Gemini Finally Gives In 🙄

by

Back in January 2023 – it feels like a different century, doesn’t it? – the SEC decided Gemini and their friends at Genesis Global Capital were running an unregistered securities offering. Basically, people were lending their crypto to Genesis (which, in retrospect, was about as safe as lending your car keys to a ferret), and getting interest in return. The SEC, in its infinite wisdom, decided this was…illegal. A shocking twist, I know. 🕵️‍♂️

by

The newly remastered Tom and Jerry shorts, *Mouse Cleaning* and *Casanova Cat*, are becoming available on home video in the US for the first time. These episodes are known for containing racially insensitive material, which led to the cancellation of their planned inclusion in *Tom and Jerry: The Golden Collection Volume Two*.

Investors Alert: Token Boom or Hype Trap? 😱

by

But of course, as is always the case, something went wrong. Turns out there’s this on-chain analytics folks, Bubblemaps (like everyone has an analytics folk these days), who found out a sophisticated Sybil attack was messing with the token’s debutante ball. Classic.

Gemini and SEC Hug It Out: Crypto Lending Drama Nears End

by

The SEC decided to get involved because Gemini apparently didn’t feel like properly registering its fancy new Gemini Earn lending program before offering it to regular folks. This program, launched in 2021, allowed customers to lend their precious bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to Genesis Global Capital in exchange for interest rates. Gemini, meanwhile, collected fees as high as 4.29%. A pretty good deal, if you ignore the fact that, you know, it was probably illegal.
