Many multiplayer games now require a constant internet connection to play. Unfortunately, this means that when game servers don’t perform as well as developers hoped, those games can be shut down, even if people are still playing them.

NBC San Diego reports that these titans of industry, once content to watch their customers wander into the abyss of social media fraud, have finally deigned to act.

Yet, one cannot help but wonder: is this a genuine crusade, or merely a pantomime to appease the regulators? 🤔
A new construction of Reed-Solomon codes minimizes data redundancy and repair complexity for more efficient storage systems.
Akira Toriyama had an incredible understanding of his characters, and the way Dragon Ball was presented in the manga – the panel layout and storytelling – was truly exceptional, even for its time. While the anime adaptations by Toei were well-made, they often missed or ignored important details from the manga, which ultimately hurt the quality of the show.
As a huge fan of the Game of Thrones world, I was thrilled to hear about another prequel just two years after the original series ended!

EX cards are generally the most powerful in the game, with high attack and HP, so when Pokemon TCG Pocket announced its Deluxe Packs, many fans were excited.

Players loved them because of the high-quality cards they received and the ability to easily collect promo cards to complete their EX collections.
