It’s made of gas, yet more than twice as massive as every other planet in our solar system combined. It’s surrounded by 79 separate moon companions, one of which is the leading candidate in the quest to find extraterrestrial life. It’s even named after the king of the ancient Roman gods.

The moment Chris saw Axie Infinity, he was hooked. He was once an avid gamer, playing hours of League of Legends every day, but stopped after deciding he was sinking too much time into an unproductive hobby.

A cool thing about Google’s Pixel 6 series phones is their unique camera bar design. If the finish of that strip were a different color than black — specifically blue, orange, purple, or red — it would totally look kind of like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Google says it’s rolling back its decision to remove a section from the Play Store that listed which permissions an app uses. The company had more or less replaced that info with its Data Safety section, which is supposed to give you an idea of what data apps are collecting and how that data is
In fact, the only real detail is Fuecoco’s name (ホゲータ, or “Hogator”) in the upper-left corner. The other bit of text seemingly denoting this fake Pokémon’s name, 脳たりん, combines the Japanese words for “brains” and “insufficient.” I’m told this is a slang term roughly equating to “dumbass,” but that the Japanese insult is also considered
Plenty of gamers are purring over Stray, where you play as an orange tabby cat navigating a cyberpunk dystopia full of robots. CNET’s Shelby Brown calls it “a one-of-a-kind video game that is so much more than a source of cat puns.” It’s not just humans who are entranced. Stray is a hit with real

The Criminal Enterprises, Coming July 26 to GTA OnlineWhile I’ve enjoyed some of the businesses Rockstar has added to the game over the years, it’s nice to see the devs going back and expanding on the old content instead of just cramming yet another business into the mix.
