The Cannes Dress Code Claims Its First Fashion Victim

by

From my perspective, it appears that the interpretations of the dress code at Cannes are quite flexible. For instance, Heidi Klum graced the red carpet on May 13th in a flamboyantly large floral gown with an expansive train, and she was warmly welcomed. Following this, Bella Hadid’s 2024 Cannes attire, designed by Saint Laurent, was entirely see-through, pushing the boundaries of nudity.

In years past, voluminous outfits have been a common sight at Cannes, with stars like Fan Bing Bing in 2023, Coco Rocha and Uma Thurman in 2024 donning such ensembles – all of which would likely be prohibited on the Riviera today. However, it seems that the dress codes at Cannes have been bent or broken before. In 2018, Kristen Stewart boldly discarded her high heels on the red carpet, challenging a technically unofficial Cannes requirement for women to wear heels, as reported by Vogue. And in 2016, Julia Roberts walked barefoot to voice her dissent against that rule. It’s fascinating how footwear traditions from France (the birthplace of Christian Louboutin) and America (the home of Toms) have sparked such debates. Yet, it is a source of great sorrow for the French, who are known for their appreciation of nudity, to resist it in this context.

Destiny 2 Players Fume Over Bungie’s Timegated RoTN Event

by

In terms of video game experiences, there’s hardly anything more disappointing than craving your favorite dish but having to wait while continuously scrutinizing the menu. With the Roll of the Night (RoTN) event progressing at a snail’s pace, players are flocking to digital forums to air their grievances. One user humorously referred to this wait as a desperate maneuver by Bungie, saying, “LMAO, how desperate is Bungie now?” This sentiment echoes throughout the subreddit, where there’s a strong agreement that players should be able to savor the entire menu of dungeons instead of being served only a few each week. Many comments expressed similar sentiments, proposing a system where new dungeons are introduced every week, with access to all dungeons granted after the three-week mark. “Doesn’t that sound reasonable?” asked a puzzled user, mynameizmyname, shedding light on the struggle for variety and accessibility amid what feels like a scarcity of content.

The Precinct is out today and reviews are mixed

by

According to numerous reviews, it appears that The Precinct starts off with an engaging plot that maintains interest during the initial playtime, but later becomes repetitive. Interestingly, opinions on the game’s Steam page are significantly more favorable. Currently, The Precinct boasts a 90% positive rating from over 120 player reviews. This discrepancy might be due to critics and players having different experiences, as many of these reviews only reflect two or three hours of gameplay. To get a clearer perspective, it’s advisable to allow players more time to progress in the game and observe how their opinions evolve.

XRP Finally Gets Its DeFi Moment, But Does Anyone Know How?!

Flare image nobody asked for

Remember Flare (FLARE)? No? Neither does my spellchecker, but apparently, it exists and is now letting traders actually use their mystical XRP tokens for all sorts of decentralized finance shenanigans. On May 14 (which happened on a Wednesday, because software launches on weekends are for people who don’t sleep), Flare unleashed its “FAssets” on Songbird. Not a bird, but a test network. Complicated already, right?
