Mega Evolution was a key feature in the sixth generation of Pokemon games, letting certain Pokemon temporarily transform into stronger forms with boosted stats and sometimes even different types. While later Pokemon games introduced new battle mechanics like Terrastalization and Dynamaxing, Mega Evolution has returned as the central focus in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The game not only brings back popular Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Lucario, but also introduces new ones for Pokemon like Feraligatr, Meganium, and Emboar.

A funny, unplanned moment captured on social media shows the Queen unexpectedly defeated and flipped over by one of her own people – a determined individual hoping to reach the stars.

Enter Bitguru, a fellow who posts more prophecies on X (formerly known as Twitter, that cesspool of wisdom and nonsense) than a carnival psychic with a Wi-Fi connection. He claims the Dogecoin price is dangling by a thread at $0.166-yes, that’s six cents short of real money. This magical digit, he says, is now the battleground where bulls charge like Don Quixote and bears yawn like they’ve seen it all (which, let’s face it, they have).

The growing success of Dispatch is reminiscent of the peak of Telltale Games, as developer AdHoc has crafted a truly excellent story-driven game where your choices matter. Now that the first season of eight episodes is finished, players are eager for a second season. Because Dispatch has multiple endings depending on your decisions, a second season could establish one official ending as the definitive storyline.
See, the crypto crowd loves tossing around the word trustless like it’s confetti at a blockchain parade. But Szabo’s here to remind us: even if you don’t need a central bank to babysit the ledger, you still need to trust developers not to accidentally code in a “steal your coins” clause. And network participants? They’re supposed to follow rules, not throw a consensus party and invite chaos as the guest of honor.

We’ve all seen magic in movies and games – people transforming others, objects flying, walls of fire. While visually impressive, these systems can be restrictive, and only Hogwarts Legacy has truly become a major success in video game form. Given the vast world of magic, there are definitely more interesting and varied spell systems out there in gaming, so let’s explore some alternatives.

The cryptocurrency ASTER slinked into a ditch and traded at $1.26, surviving a 10% rally that would make a jalopy weep. Technical analysts cried “structural integrity!” as if a price chart is a house made of lard and wishful thinking. Token unlocks, delayed like a toddler’s bedtime after Halloween candy-saved the day. 🦇

Even though ARC Raiders has competitive player-versus-player combat, the game’s community is known for its helpfulness. Recently, players overwhelmingly supported a community event where they were asked to donate resources to unlock the Stella Montis map. The response was so enthusiastic that the developers at Embark Studios actually increased the donation goal, but the community still achieved it in less than a day.
Apparently, the majority of institutional investors either haven’t the faintest notion what all the bother is about, or, more charitably, simply haven’t the time to indulge such provincial squabbles. Supporting the ‘Knots’ camp? Don’t be absurd. The very idea! 🤷♀️
