We first discussed this rumor on our TopMob Weekly show on December 19th, sharing that we’d heard discussions were already happening about how future RAM availability might impact the next generation of devices.
In ARC Raiders, the main way to get good loot is by exploring the surface and scavenging. However, weekly Trials offer another path to valuable rewards. Every Monday, Embark Studios releases five new challenges, giving players a week to make progress. Completing a challenge earns an Uncommon item, two stars get you a Rare item, and three stars reward an Epic item. Dedicated players can earn even better rewards by improving their ranking throughout the season – the higher you climb, the better the prizes. Some players find the Trials a bit repetitive, but others enjoy having extra goals to work towards each week.

In the witching hour of December 29th, Bitcoin, that capricious siren, lured the unwary with a surge past $90,000. Hopes flickered like a dying candle 💫, as the crypto economy briefly bloomed to $3.1 trillion. But lo! The rally was a phantom, a trick of the market’s cruel hand. For when BTC peaked at $90,300, the truth emerged: a liquidity void so vast it could swallow souls. The bears rejoiced, for the downtrend’s chains remained unbroken, and resistance crumbled into dust.
I’ve been collecting Funko Pop! figures based on the stories and games I love, like Yuri!!! On Ice and Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s a small collection, but each figure means something to me. I’m excited to share that I’ll soon be adding four more to my collection! The new Dungeons & Dragons Funko Pops are coming out in March 2026, and some stores, like Hot Topic, will begin taking preorders in late February. The timing is perfect, as they’ll arrive just before my birthday – I see it as a fun sign from the universe!
From the beginning of Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto, it was clear Sasuke was meant to be Naruto’s rival – their paths always seemed to run alongside each other. While the story focuses on Naruto, Sasuke is equally crucial. Not only does Naruto and even Boruto give a lot of time to his story, but his actions really shape what happens to other characters too. Like Naruto, who constantly strives to become stronger to achieve his dream of being Hokage, Sasuke also relentlessly pursues power. He’s motivated partly by wanting revenge for what happened with Itachi, and partly by a desire to stay on par with Naruto.
Researchers have uncovered a fundamental duality principle within sheaf codes that links seemingly disparate parameters, paving the way for more efficient quantum error correction strategies.
A major turning point in the Boruto series is the predicted end of the shinobi era, which has led fans to worry about what will happen to the ninja world. In Chapter 1 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Kawaki bluntly stated this future, suggesting Boruto will have to accept a world without shinobi. This revelation happened while Konoha lay in ruins, as Boruto and Kawaki geared up to fight each other.
Let’s examine the extraction shooter games that came out in 2025 to see if the year truly marked a turning point for the genre.
Looking back at the King’s Field series offers valuable insights into game development. Like the early Souls games, King’s Field attracted a dedicated, but small, audience. While some games had moderate success, the series was often dismissed by many players due to its slow pace, confusing design, and extreme difficulty. Interestingly, these criticisms echo those leveled at more recent FromSoftware games. Many found King’s Field too challenging and difficult to understand. However, its dark atmosphere, serious story, and complex, open-ended gameplay were crucial in shaping what FromSoftware later achieved with Demon’s Souls and its sequels, making King’s Field an important piece of gaming history, even if it doesn’t feel very modern today. Unfortunately, FromSoftware doesn’t seem interested in revisiting King’s Field or its related games, which creates an opportunity for indie developers on Steam to fill the void.
