We finally have a confirmed release timeframe for the first season, according to Casey Bloys, Chairman and Content CEO of HBO. Soon, Harry Potter fans will be able to revisit the Wizarding World in a new adaptation that aims to improve upon the movies and truly honor J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series.
Traders, those ever-watchful souls, are now clutching their pearls and charts, pondering whether the next support levels will halt this downward spiral. The crypto market, in its current state of frailty, has only exacerbated the decline. Network activity and institutional interest? Darling, they’re but mere footnotes in this melodrama of short-term bearishness.
With so many spells available, it can be tough for a spellcaster to decide which ones are most useful. Beyond the standard damage, movement, and helpful spells, they should consider adding some unexpected options that could provide lasting benefits to the whole group. Here are some of the best situational spells in Dungeons & Dragons.
After more than six years of anticipation, Code Vein 2 is finally here, launching on January 29th. The game offers a larger, more open world to explore, challenging boss fights in the Soulslike style, and introduces time-travel elements. It also features an entirely new group of vampires players can team up with or battle.

There’s been a lot of discussion about Leon’s age in the new Resident Evil game. Since the game is set thirty years after the events of Raccoon City, many fans thought he’d be in his early 50s. However, that’s not quite right. While he’s older than he appeared in Resident Evil 6, Capcom’s promotional materials led to some misunderstandings about exactly how old he is.
According to a letter that’s hotter than a subway platform in August, first spilled by CNN’s Allison Morrow, James and her crew (including Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who’s probably juggling this with his other 47 jobs) are calling out the GENIUS Act for being more like the “Oops, We Forgot to Protect Victims Act.” They argue it gives stablecoins a shiny “imprimatur of legitimacy” without bothering to add the necessary guardrails to stop terrorism financing, drug trafficking, money laundering, and cryptocurrency fraud. Because who needs safeguards when you can just call it “genius,” right?
Despite being released a while ago, this movie remains incredibly popular, continuing to be shown in theaters. A recent remastered version included a new scene after the credits that revealed some surprising details about the characters. Most notably, it finally confirmed that Mikasa ends up marrying Jean, a reveal that has sparked a lot of debate among fans, especially considering the manga concluded years ago.
The Kazakhstan-based studio Odd Meter has a hard time categorizing their game, Indika, and for good reason – it’s a unique blend of genres. While mostly a 3D, third-person adventure, Indika sometimes switches to 2D pixel art. The game tells the story of a 19th-century Russian nun’s personal journey, and she’s accompanied by the devil himself, who serves as both a companion and a narrator you can’t always trust. Reviewers have highlighted how Indika successfully combines historical fantasy and surrealism while thoughtfully tackling complex questions about life, religion, and existence.
This expansion, a marriage of convenience between Opera and Tether, brings the USDT stablecoin and the gold-backed XAU₮0 token-a bridged creation not of Tether’s own making-into the embrace of MiniPay, Opera’s self-custodial wallet built on the Celo blockchain. A noble endeavor, no doubt, targeting the wretched of the earth in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, who, deprived of traditional banking, now have access to digital dollars. MiniPay, since its late 2023 debut, has processed 350 million transactions and activated over 12.6 million wallets. A triumph of technology, or merely a new guise for old exploitation? The jury is still out.
