First launched back in 2016, No Man’s Sky initially faced some challenges upon its release. However, over the subsequent years, it has proven to be one of the most impressive turnarounds in the gaming world, thanks to numerous free updates.

Bitcoin treasury whizzes, formerly known as MicroStrategy (because “Strategy” sounds cooler, right?), dropped a bomb on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s inbox. According to their fancy filing, they snagged 4,048 bitcoins between Aug. 26 and Sept. 1 – at a bargain basement average price of $110,981 each. They financed this little shopping spree by printing money in the form of Class A common stock and perpetual preferred shares. Basically, “Hey shareholders, we got this… maybe.”

While these titles might be unfamiliar to overseas fans, I’d encourage them to give these a watch as they offer a glimpse into the buzz surrounding Japan’s anime scene.
