It’s interesting that being discharged from the Marines didn’t automatically make someone a good guy. While a few former Marines became heroes – often because they lost trust in the World Government – others simply traded one form of wrongdoing for another.

Once upon a time in the land of Luxembourg, Ripple-a blockchain wizard-has waved its magic wand and secured full approval for its Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license. The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) bestowed this grand honor upon Ripple after it jumped through all the regulatory hoops like a circus performer in a top hat.

Some anime are best enjoyed in smaller portions or not at all. If you want the full story quickly, reading the original manga is often a better option, and the artwork might be superior too. Many really long anime become repetitive, with only the most dedicated fans sticking with them through hundreds of episodes. These extremely lengthy series demand a significant time commitment, and viewers should carefully consider if it’s worth it when there are other anime they could enjoy in less time.

Okay, so ARC Raiders dropped in 2025 and it blew up – Embark Studios really nailed it with this extraction adventure. They just had a huge update too, which had some hiccups, but also added a ton of cool stuff. But that’s not what I want to talk about today.
