StarRupture became available to early access players on January 7th, letting them start playing before the official launch. However, the game is still under development and will receive further updates and improvements before its full release.
Stretch (STRC), the perpetual preferred equity so generously gifted by Strategy (MSTR)-the undisputed heavyweight champion of corporate bitcoin holders-has returned triumphantly to the hallowed ground of $100 in pre-market trading for the first time since early November. Doors are flung wide open for fresh stock sales to further bolster those BTC purchases. What a time to be alive!
Now, this latest haul was secured at a valuation that’d make a king blush-around $40 billion, mind you! They’ve pulled in some big names too, like Citadel and Fortress, alongside a host of crypto savvy funds. Word has it that these investors can sell their shares back to Ripple at a price that’s as guaranteed as a dog chasing its tail-and they’ll be treated like royalty during any future sales or bankruptcy (Heavens forbid!).
As someone who loves open-world RPGs, I’ve noticed it’s really tough for developers to get exploration just right. You want to wander around and discover things, but if you get too powerful too quickly, it kind of ruins the fun. That means devs need to carefully balance rewards – making sure every new item or upgrade feels worthwhile and keeps you hyped to see what’s around the next corner. Today, I’m thinking about the games that nailed it – the ones where exploring felt genuinely rewarding and kept me hooked for hours.
It was a pleasant surprise when Square Enix released Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy in 2021. The game tells an original story within the Marvel universe, and it strongly evokes the feel of Star Wars. This narrative-focused action-adventure, with some RPG features, is well-made and consistently engaging. It captures the quirky, lovable dynamic of the Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy team without simply copying other stories. While it isn’t Star Wars itself, the game delivers a similar experience with its exciting space battles, strong team spirit, and well-designed action sequences.
Barclays, that most staid of financial aristocrats, has dipped its quill into the inkwell of Ubyx Inc., a U.S.-based clearing system for digital money that peddles tokenized deposits and “regulated stablecoins” (read: crypto that doesn’t make your portfolio cry). This union, forged in the fires of innovation, aims to craft a global acceptance network where banks and blockchains can waltz hand-in-hand, ignoring the chaos of the 21st century. 🕺
Morgan Stanley (MS), that paragon of prudence, has taken another step deeper into the crypto, filing a registration statement for an Ethereum Trust, according to a filing with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday. One wonders if the SEC’s quizzical gaze has grown accustomed to such antics. 📜
There are plenty of reasons to play the Marvel’s Spider-Man games again. They’re simply great superhero experiences, with fun combat, smooth movement, and engaging stories. The games still look fantastic, and many players enjoy spending time taking pictures in photo mode. New Game Plus makes replaying even easier, letting you use all the costumes you’ve unlocked. But beyond just being consistently enjoyable, 2026 is a particularly good time to revisit these games because of upcoming events like the release of Marvel’s Wolverine, the 1000th issue of The Amazing Spider-Man (TASM), and the Brand New Day storyline.

Cryptocurrency analysts, including the ever-eloquent Finance Freeman, have anointed Kaspa as the altcoin to watch in 2026. How charming! Another year, another coin to fuel the mania of the masses. One wonders if they’ve mistaken their crystal balls for magic 8-balls. 🔮
