A week following the Steam Client Beta’s update, which revamped the Store menu’s look, a fresh build has been introduced. In the July 24 Steam beta update, the left-side bar was combined with the top blue bar, resulting in a new, unified menu at the top. This updated menu allows users to browse game suggestions from Steam, search for games based on genre or franchise, check out newly released or popular titles, and find discounted games.
During the Sweet Swarm event for Pokemon GO, from August 3rd to 6th, a themed event is taking place focusing on Pokemon related to sweets and candy. During this unique four-day occasion, lure modules will last an hour each and have a higher chance than normal of attracting special Pokemon such as Combee and Swirlix. Additionally, there are two sets of time-limited research missions that players can complete to receive special prizes and potentially encounter some elusive Pokemon.
The 1-hour SEI/USDT chart provided by analyst Gilanns illustrates a structurally weak setup dominated by repeated breakdowns and failed bullish attempts. A persistent series of lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL) confirms that the prevailing trend remains bearish. 🦊📉
Ripple [XRP] endured what market analysts describe as “a good old walloping” following Bitcoin [BTC]’s dramatic plunge from a vertigo-inducing $119.8k. Since that fateful Monday, July 28th (possibly a Monday, definitely dramatic), BTC dropped a neat 5%—much like a misplaced decimal—and XRP thought it best to one-up with a 13.6% descent. If you’re looking for a race to the bottom, this is it. 🏁
The crew included J.D. Russell (a venture capitalist who probably has opinions about your life choices), Gökhan Erdem (entrepreneur, likely charming), Arvi Bahal (real estate investor, definitely owns nicer homes than you), Deborah Martorell (meteorologist, because someone had to explain why clouds don’t exist in space), and Lionel Pitchford (philanthropist and teacher, aka the wholesome one). Oh, and Justin. Who, by the way, dropped $28 million for this joyride back in 2021. Casual. 💸
After taking a two-week hiatus, One Piece is back, and as a token of appreciation for the massive success of the Elbaf arc, its creator, Oda, fulfilled his promise to fans by unveiling a fresh color spread this week. This incredible new artwork showcases some intriguing characters other than the Straw Hat pirates.
Mentioning Borderlands 4 potentially arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2 is exciting, given the prospect of action-packed looting and shooting while mobile, or even on a Nintendo device. However, it’s important to note that there’s a caveat: Players who intend to play Borderlands 4 solely on the Switch 2 may have to accept a later release date compared to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation gamers. This timing difference might be challenging for some, as they eagerly await their turn to enjoy the game before it becomes available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Contrary to some fan concerns, director Taika Waititi has a distinctive body of work marked by daring decisions. The apprehension about his upcoming Judge Dredd project stems from it seeming to be beyond his usual range, but Waititi’s versatile portfolio clearly demonstrates that he is the ideal candidate for reviving the iconic comic character on the big screen.
In a match of Battlefield 6, players earning XP as Recon characters progressively upgrade their selected specialization. The Sniper route for Recon eventually provides the capability to score headshots with bolt action rifles. This announcement ignited debate on social media and the main Battlefield forum, as some players endorsed this feature while others opposed it. Supporters argue that it promotes skill and discourages sniper nests where a dedicated medic keeps reviving fallen snipers. Detractors cite difficulties in balancing similar features in games like Vassili, while medics worry about fewer revives due to this trait. Personally, I find it an impressive addition and suggest implementing another method for permanently defeating opponents alongside it.
The Sea and Sky Wisdom pack presents various tools for producing different forms of energy and shifting it between bench and active Pokemon, a feature that enhances the arrival of Ho-Oh Ex and Lugia Ex cards. Although these specific cards and their supporting ones are the main highlight of this expansion, the A4 set of Pokemon TCG Pocket also debuted a new category of cards – baby Pokemon. These can be quite strong, but they have a significant weakness: just 30 HP. However, one of them is currently among the top cards in the game.
