While 3D graphics hardware was improving in the 1990s, it wasn’t powerful enough to fully render the detailed worlds these games envisioned. Clever game designers solved this problem by using 2D images as backgrounds.

A new approach to quantizing large language models focuses on preserving magnitude information within weight matrices, leading to improved performance at extremely low bitrates.
Open interest, the number of open positions (both long and short), has had a bit of a workout lately, spiking like a teenager’s enthusiasm for TikTok. This indicates more liquidity, volatility, and, let’s be honest, drama in the derivative market. But here’s the kicker: ETH’s open interest is lounging around $20 to $21 billion, well below its previous peak of $30 billion. So, while it’s not exactly a snooze fest, it’s also not a forced-liquidation apocalypse waiting to happen near $3,000. Phew! 😌
Santiment, a group of humans who apparently get paid to stare at blockchain data until their eyes water, noticed DOGE causing quite the stir online. Imagine their surprise when they realized people still care about a cryptocurrency based on a Shiba Inu meme from 2013. 🕵️♂️💸
While Battlefield 6‘s first season added popular features like the Eastwood multiplayer map, it also faced criticism. The introduction of the Battlefield RedSec battle royale mode upset many players who preferred the large-scale maps of previous Battlefield games, as they felt the battle royale was taking away from what they wanted in the main game. A bug that unintentionally made player movement slower was quickly fixed, but not before causing frustration. Players were also disappointed by the lack of double XP events during the holidays. Combined with some problematic updates that caused in-game issues and a typical decline in player numbers as the game aged, Battlefield 6 faces significant challenges moving forward into 2026.

She’s auditioned for hundreds of roles since then without success, and feels the pressure of being seen as instantly successful. Instead of waiting for opportunities, she’s taken the initiative to return to acting classes and refine her skills, accepting the uncertainty of her career path beyond Aerith rather than ignoring it.
Sandbox games really push the boundaries of creativity. Because they let you do almost anything, players often treat that freedom as a challenge. This means that when these games include building or crafting, players frequently come up with creations far more complex – or just plain silly – than the game designers ever intended.
The Argentine cryptocurrency scene is thriving in 2026, much like a man in a sauna who’s finally found his groove. Analysts claim the use cases for crypto are “evolving,” which is code for “we’re not just hoarding dollars anymore.”

The man behind the curtain, President Serdar Berdimuhamedow, signed the laws at the end of November, and voilà, they became effective on Thursday. Who knew November was a month for groundbreaking legislation? 🎉
