The world of *One Piece* already includes gods, and its main character, Monkey D. Luffy, possesses a god-like power himself. Certain rare and powerful Devil Fruits grant users abilities akin to those of the gods, making them exceptionally significant.
When *Dragon Ball Sparking Zero* launched in October 2024, it featured over 180 playable characters. While many were different iterations of the same characters throughout the *Dragon Ball* anime, this was still the largest character selection in the *Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi* series. With the release of the first three downloadable content packs adding 20 more fighters, the game now boasts a roster of over 200 characters.
In a move that can only be described as a stroke of genius-or perhaps sheer audacity-YZi Labs (formerly known as Binance Labs, darling, keep up!) became one of the first investors in Ethena’s Season 6 Incubation Program back in February 2024. Oh, the irony! A stablecoin that doesn’t rely on banks? How positively revolutionary! Or, as Nicola Wang, Investment Director at YZi Labs, so eloquently put it: “We were impressed by Ethena’s team and their unique approach to stablecoin design – building a crypto-native model that generates yield without relying on banks.” Bravo, Nicola, bravo! đź‘Ź
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that grand arbiter of financial fate, hath cleared a path for a flood of crypto exchange-traded products. Analysts, ever the dramatists, proclaim this could reshape the flow of money into digital assets. A watershed moment, they say! 🌊
Short-term, you’ve still got that jitterbug of volatility tap dancein’ around, but the herd’s feelin’ pretty chipper. Traders are smilin’ like they found a frog that talks, expectin’ a breakout that’ll send ol’ Bitcoin closer to touching them shiny all-time highs, like a kid eyein’ the last slice of pie at the county fair. 🍰
In this grand charade, the rollout introduces PYUSD0, a permissionless doppelgänger of its native kin, already prancing about on Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and Arbitrum. Chains like Abstract, Aptos, Avalanche, Ink, Sei, Stable, and Tron now bask in the PYUSD glow, while Berachain and Flow upgrade to PYUSD0 without so much as a raised eyebrow. How convenient! 🌟
2025 has been a fantastic year for anime, with hit shows like *Solo Leveling*, The Apothecary Diaries, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, To Be Hero X, and Lord of Mysteries captivating viewers since the beginning of the year. There have been many other great anime releases as well!
I recently checked out *The Touryst*, this cool open-world adventure game made by Shin’en Multimedia, a studio based in Germany. It first came out on the Switch in 2019, and then hit Xbox and PC the next year. They even released a PS5 version in 2021, which they hyped up as the first game in the world to run in 8K. Honestly, that 8K thing was a bit misleading. The PS5 couldn’t actually *output* 8K through its HDMI, so the game was rendering at that resolution internally, then scaling it down. Sony initially made a big deal about the PS5 being able to go beyond 4K, but they’ve since stopped talking about 8K support, and you won’t even find it mentioned on newer PS5 boxes anymore.
It looks like the Timekeeper could be the compelling villain Borderlands 4 needs. Unlike past villains who relied on over-the-top antics, he establishes fear through constant surveillance and control of the planet Kairos, making his power felt everywhere. While villains like the Calypso Twins often felt separate from the main story, the Timekeeper is deeply connected to the game’s core elements – its story, factions, and overall atmosphere. This makes him a truly memorable antagonist, something the Borderlands series hasn’t seen in over ten years.
As a long-time Call of Duty fan, I have to say things really came to a head with Black Ops 6. The cosmetic items had gotten out of hand, and when Black Ops 7 was announced, the community made it clear we weren’t happy with where the series was going. Thankfully, Activision and Treyarch listened! They admitted the games had lost their way and announced they were getting rid of the Carry Forward feature, which a lot of us were upset about. Now, we’re all starting to worry the same thing might happen with Battlefield 6, so fans are really pushing EA to avoid making the same mistakes as Activision.
