In the past month, silver’s price took a flying leap-up about 48%, no less! From the humble $50s in late November to nearly $83-eerily reminiscent of a rocket on a bender. It’s been a year of wild swings, with silver charming investors by over 150%, thanks to tight supply, industrial demand, and folks fleeing inflation like rats from a sinking ship. 🚀💸
![The research constructs and categorizes quantum codes-derived from three classical codes-into four distinct types, demonstrating that these codes are structured around [latex]ZZ[/latex]- and [latex]XX[/latex]-check blocks, with the number of variations within each type-indicated by a multiplicative factor-highlighting the diversity achievable through this construction method.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.22116v1/x1.png)
Researchers have developed a generalized approach to creating quantum error-correcting codes by leveraging the power of multiple classical codes.
To be honest, I’m starting to feel a little tired of open-world games, and it seems like many others are too. The focus has become so much about making worlds bigger and bigger that it’s left players feeling uninspired. This might lead to some significant changes in upcoming open-world RPGs. While there’s no certainty, I believe the genre is on the verge of a transformation, learning from the successes and failures of games we already know. I’ll be using examples from those existing games to explain what I mean.
Yet, mark my words, this bounce was but a whisper in the wind, accompanied by thin liquidity and volumes so meager they could make a hermit blush. Should such conditions persist into the new year, this fragile ascent may crumble like a house of cards in a tempest. 🍃
Many top-tier video games now require 100GB or more of storage space, making it tough to manage what stays on your system. Players often struggle with deciding which games to delete or move to external drives. For various reasons – whether it’s the game’s size, frequent updates, or simply enjoying it – people tend to keep certain games installed, just in case they want to play them again in the future.
Steam has a lot of interesting first-person RPGs made by smaller studios, but most haven’t reached the popularity of the biggest titles or really captivated players. However, Fatekeeper stands out as a game with the potential to become a major success, possibly even attracting fans of well-loved classics like Skyrim.
So, what’s next? Should we saddle up, or is this just another false alarm? 🤔
Many other game studios are also creating impressive open-world experiences. While some have borrowed elements from Ubisoft’s successful formula, others offer something completely different – things you’ll never find in a Ubisoft game. These studios are experimenting with unique gameplay, open-world structures, storytelling, and themes. Here are some open-world games that offer experiences Ubisoft’s top titles don’t.
2025 has been a fantastic year for Nintendo, largely thanks to the success of its new console. The Switch 2 launched in June and quickly surpassed 6 million units sold globally in under two months. Its launch game, Mario Kart World, was also a huge hit, selling over 1 million physical copies in Japan in just one month. Now, Mario Kart World and the latest Pokemon game are two of Nintendo’s top-performing titles this year.
