Russia’s Crypto Shenanigans: Dodging Sanctions Like a Pro 🚀

by

In a move that screams “we’re definitely not panicking,” Russia is fast-tracking crypto into its foreign trade playbook. Because when the world cuts you off from SWIFT, why not just invent your own financial rules? Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, in what we can only assume was a very serious meeting (or possibly a Bond villain brainstorming session), declared that crypto payments for imports and exports should be legalized-but only if the Bank of Russia gets to play Big Brother. Because oversight is fun.

5 Pokemon Games Better Than Legends Z-A

by

As a huge Pokémon fan, I think Pokémon Legends: Z-A is easily one of the best core Pokémon games we’ve ever gotten. But is it the best? That’s tough to say! There are just so many great Pokémon games out there. Legends: Z-A is fantastic, no doubt, but here are five Pokémon games I personally think are even better in different ways.

Pokemon’s Leaked Legends: Galar Starters Are Already Clear

by

It’s harder than expected to guess which Pokémon will be starter choices in future Pokémon Legends games. The recent announcement of Pokémon Legends: Z-A included two Pokémon from Generation 2 – Chikorita and Totodile – which was a departure from the usual pattern. However, this makes the choices for the next game pretty obvious: the developers seem to be aiming to complete the circle by featuring the remaining starters from the Johto region. Given that the Galar region is the most likely setting for the next Pokémon Legends title, it makes sense that the starters will follow the same pattern as Legends: Z-A.

Upcoming Game Like Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets Exciting Update

Solasta: Crown of the Magister first came out in 2021 and quickly gained a dedicated following, especially among fans of classic role-playing games. While it didn’t reach a massive audience, its “Very Positive” reviews on Steam show that the developers, Tactical Adventures, created a successful game. This is why fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are so excited about Solasta 2. It’s natural to compare the two games, as they share many similarities in both how they look and how they play.

One Piece: Luffy’s Defeat In Elbaf Is Already Inevitable

by

I’ve been following the latest arc in One Piece, called Elbaf, and it’s quickly become a highlight of the entire series for me. It’s part of what everyone’s calling the Final Saga, and so far, it feels really special. Even though it’s still ongoing, it’s already one of the best arcs, in my opinion. Since it started last year, we’ve gotten so many fascinating reveals about the story’s history, especially details about the God Valley Incident that I never expected.

PS Plus Adding a Classic PS2-Era Fighting Game

by

Following the success of Soul Edge in 1996, Namco released Soulcalibur in 1998, which quickly became a hit in arcades. This innovative 3D fighting game distinguished itself by focusing on weapon-based combat rather than traditional punches and kicks. When Soulcalibur came to the Sega Dreamcast in 1999, its popularity soared, making it the second best-selling game for the console, only surpassed by Sonic Adventure.
