Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a truly exceptional anime and is likely to be remembered as one of the greatest. It demonstrates that an anime doesn’t need constant action to be incredibly popular; a compelling story, well-developed characters, and a rich world are the keys to success.
PlayStation Stars was a rewards program built into the PlayStation app. Players leveled up by earning PlayStation Trophies and buying games from the PlayStation Store, unlocking perks as they progressed. The highest level offered benefits like faster access to PlayStation support. Players earned points by completing various tasks, such as trying out new PS Plus games, completing challenging in-game objectives, discovering hidden games based on clues, and playing new PlayStation exclusive titles shortly after their release.
As a long-time reader of Invincible, I’ve noticed the show seems to shy away from some of the really tough, impactful moments from the comics. And honestly, a lot of us who love Debbie’s character are worried about seeing her development sidelined just to get back with Nolan, especially considering his past behavior. It’s a big part of what makes Invincible so compelling – the idea that even someone who’s messed up can earn redemption if they genuinely work for it and show they’ve changed. If the show cuts or alters Debbie and Nolan’s potential reunion, it feels like they’re sacrificing a really important theme – forgiveness and growth – just to avoid making viewers uncomfortable, and that’s the opposite of what the comic is all about.
I was instantly captivated when Maxis released the initial gameplay trailer for The Sims 4‘s Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack. The features shown were incredibly appealing, particularly for players who love creating detailed stories with power dynamics, family drama, and a touch of playful mischief. It seemed like a really promising addition, even thoughtful in its design. I began making plans for how I’d play, but the second trailer sparked something more intense: I started plotting exactly how I would use the new features to create compelling narratives.
While the uninitiated may tremble at such a spectacle, the seasoned observer recognizes this as but a fleeting melodrama in the grand ballet of crypto markets. Historically, such retracements have served as opulent banquets for the accumulation-hungry, offering DOGE at a discount to those with the wit to seize it.
A new analysis reveals that the Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) technique, combined with strategic noise addition, can offer stronger privacy guarantees than previously understood.
Many fans feel the Halo series started to decline after Bungie, the studio behind the original Halo games (Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach included), moved on to create Destiny. Microsoft then handed the Halo franchise to a new team, 343 Industries, created specifically to continue the series. While 343 improved some of Halo’s gameplay, many believe they haven’t been able to capture the original spirit and vision of the games, leading to a decrease in the series’ popularity. Now, the question is: what caused Halo to change course, and how can 343 Industries, now known as Halo Studios, revitalize the franchise?
Yvonne is a powerful Cryo damage dealer, but she needs her teammates to consistently apply the Cryo status effect. Characters like Xaihi, Snowshine, and Last Rite work well with her in battle. The goal is to quickly build up three or four stacks of Cryo, then have Yvonne use her abilities to consume those stacks for a huge damage burst and convert the enemies to a ‘Solidified’ state. Applying Cryo also charges Yvonne’s ultimate ability, which she can then use on Solidified enemies for another massive damage attack.
As a fan, I have to say the way they released Highguard was… interesting, to say the least! They first showed it off at The Game Awards 2025, but after that, it was radio silence for months. It turns out they were planning a total shadow drop, kind of like what Apex Legends did. And it definitely got people talking – the game blew up on Steam right away with tons of reviews and players jumping in. But… it hasn’t been a smooth launch. A lot of those initial reviews were negative, and right now the game is sitting at a “Mixed” rating on Steam. Only about 43% of players are giving it a positive review, which is a tough spot to be in right after launch.
Most viewers enjoy this version of the show, though some prefer the English dub. Initially, there was no information about when the dub would be available, but Crunchyroll recently provided an update.
