A Dance of Tokens: Southeast Asia’s Bank Partners with Ripple for a Market Makeover!

by

On a rather ordinary September 18, against the backdrop of fluttering leaves and possibly brewing chaos, DDEx graciously accepted Franklin Templeton’s sgBENJI into its arms. What is sgBENJI, you ask? It is none other than the glittering token of the Franklin Onchain US Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund. Yes, it seems tokens are the new currency of affection! Ripple has cleverly placed its own US dollar stablecoin, RLUSD, alongside sgBENJI, promising hapless eligible clients a seamless transition from one form of digital loveliness to another, at any hour of the day. It’s like switching flavors of ice cream, only with more decimal points. 🍦💰

Black Rabbit Recap: A Cascade of Stupidity

by

For brothers Jake and Vince Friedken, New York City feels like a place where anything can happen, ever since their father gave them fake watches and a strange lesson: value is what you convince others it is. Jake, the first of the brothers we meet, reflects on this, essentially saying life is short and we should cherish our connections with others. He expresses this at a memorial service for Anna, reminding everyone to appreciate the time they had with her. The brothers grew up believing everything is fleeting, and the only true value lies in what you can sell. While both accepted this idea, Vince fully embraced it and became someone driven by scams and deception. For Jake, however, living this way has always felt like a difficult necessity, a way of life that never quite fit comfortably – like trying to make a Nick Cave suit work at the beach.

Lego Spider-Verse Minifigure Collection Is Back In Stock At Amazon

by

Okay, so Lego released a bunch of minifigs based on *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse*, and there are 12 different characters to collect! You can get them in the mystery boxes – those have six figures for around $30. But if you want to pick specific ones, some stores are selling them individually. Right now, I’ve seen them in stock at the Lego Store and Best Buy. It’s kinda weird though, Best Buy is charging $4.24 *per* minifigure if you order online, which seems a little steep!

by

Players have reported the problem on Reddit and in Steam discussions. A Techland developer responded, advising users to simply restart the game. While this may seem like a basic fix, it’s currently the only workaround available. The good news is that the developers are aware of the issue, which hopefully means a fix is on the way. However, it’s important to remember that this is just an expectation, and we’ll need to wait and see if a patch is released.
