Microsoft Rewards saw a lot of updates in 2025, with some new features and rewards added, others removed, and a few brought back. However, most users haven’t reacted well to these changes, frequently pointing out that they now earn fewer rewards and need more points to redeem them.
If you enjoy getting completely lost in first-person games, here are a few recommendations for your next story-driven adventure. These games – some well-known classics, others hidden gems – all feature exceptional storytelling. I’ll present them in a rough order, based on how strong the story is and how immersive the experience feels.
![The system reveals [latex] C\P5CP^{5}Q [/latex]-shells, hinting at emergent organizational principles within complex, self-growing architectures-structures destined for eventual, predictable failure as the system evolves.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.15276v1/fig/CP5-case3.png)
New research delves into the behavior of localized energy concentrations-Q-balls and Q-shells-within an extended theoretical framework.
The story of Skyrim goes beyond its different releases and versions. It’s also a story of a dedicated community that has kept the game thriving through shared stories, continuous improvements, and, most importantly, mods. Although Bethesda hasn’t released major new quests or story content in years, the Skyrim modding community is still very active, and players continue to spend countless hours discovering and reinventing the game.
These aren’t just numbers to impress your cat; they’ve actually resulted in the network’s throughput capacity increasing by a third, while on-chain decentralized exchange activity more than doubled quarter-over-quarter in early 2025. It’s like the crypto world finally discovered caffeine.
In the gulag of digital shekels, XRP clings to $1.48 like a prisoner to a last cigarette, its $90 billion market cap a fragile mirage in the crypto desert. The weekly RSI, a gaunt and hollow-eyed statistic, slumps into the oversold zone-proof, if anyone needed it, that even numbers can starve. True believers, those who … Read more
In a move that’s more dramatic than a reality TV breakup, Nevada filed a complaint in Carson City District Court, claiming Kalshi’s “event contracts” are basically just sports betting in a fancy blazer. They want Kalshi to stop operating in Nevada faster than you can say, “House always wins.”
A novel system leverages semantic communication and advanced signal processing to deliver high-quality images even in challenging wireless environments.
Quantum computing is advancing, which is great if you’re into sci-fi or have a PhD in physics. But for the rest of us, it means the cryptography holding up the internet and blockchains is now under “long-term pressure.” Translation: someone will probably break it in 2045, and we need to panic now. The transition isn’t a simple algorithm swap? Of course it’s not. Why would it be? It’s a “multidimensional migration effort”-because who doesn’t want to add three extra dimensions to a problem already complex enough?
I’ve been really getting into Palworld, and it’s way more than just shooting and catching monsters! You can actually build some incredible bases – I’ve seen people create these amazing spiral staircases and seriously strong fortresses. It’s cool how you can also send your Pals out to gather resources for you. Even though it’s still in early access and has a few bugs here and there, it’s been a huge hit on Steam – it currently has a ‘95% positive’ rating, which is awesome!
