Game Rant Editor in Chief Anthony Taormina’s Top 10 Games of 2025

Shiba Inu: The Comedy of Errors in Crypto – Brace Yourselves!

As we say goodbye to this year, let’s take a moment to lament the fact that Shiba Inu has already dropped more than 14% this month.

These ones just drop you in, sometimes with nothing but the clothes on your back, and say, ‘Okay, figure it out!’ It’s totally up to me to learn how to survive, decide what I want to achieve, and then actually do it. Seriously, no quest markers, no help – it’s all on me, and it’s awesome.
