Palworld, colloquially known to fans as “Pokémon with guns,” is in hot water. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced Thursday that they’ve filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Tokyo against Pocketpair, the company behind the game, claiming Palworld “infringes multiple patent rights.”The lawsuit isn’t completely unexpected. In Palworld, players catch creatures by weakening them and trapping them in Pal Spheres, similar to Poké Balls. Fans have also pointed out numerous similarities in design between Pals and Pokémon. Players have also drawn Nintendo’s ire for creating mods that make the connection explicit by including actual Pokémon.Curiously, though, Nintendo’s statement alleges patent…
When I Stop Fighting by Daryl Dittmer The author’s ability as a masterful storyteller through his honest and authentic narrative takes this book up a few more notches, making the tale of an ordinary person extraordinary in its own way. It’s commonplace for people to gravitate to the well-known influencers — celebrities, athletes, political and religious leaders, and other icons in their fields — when looking for voices to follow and messages to embrace. But there is often a stronger sort of influencer — the everyman just like you and me whose words sound more real to us, more authentic…
Gravitational wave detectors use laser beams in tubes that span kilometresThe Virgo Collaboration Gravitational waves that span thousands to billions of miles can be obscured in our detectors by the smallest of quantum fluctuations that permeate space-time. But now, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have found a way to beat this quantum noise. And as a result, they are finding nearly twice as many cosmic events as before. “We realised that quantum noise will be limiting us a long time ago. It’s not just a fancy [quantum] thing to demonstrate, it’s something that really affects the actual…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Song of a Stranger? As with all my books, I start with some kind of scene in my head. It could be a conversation between two people that sets it off, or in the case of Song of a Stranger, a teacher receiving an email from a Japanese film-star asking for his help, and I go from there and see where it takes me. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? When it comes to fiction, I read a mix…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A paper, titled “How local governments avoid floodplain development through consistent implementation of routine municipal ordinances, plans, and programs,” published in Oxford Open Climate Change uncovers evidence suggesting that, contrary to expectations, most U.S. cities are not doing too badly in avoiding development in areas prone to flooding, and those that are effective appear to be applying existing tools and strategies well, rather than doing anything particularly novel. Despite billions of dollars of investments and widespread mitigation efforts, the costs of disasters in the United States have grown dramatically. Floods are the most prevalent and expensive…
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Agatha All Along Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2.] It’s been three years since viewers last saw Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and she’s been trapped under Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) spell ever since, at least, that’s what viewers learn in the premiere episode of Agatha All Along. The installment opens like a police drama, more specifically taking inspiration from HBO‘s Kate Winslet-led series Mare of Easttown, a funny nod when you consider Agatha‘s predecessor WandaVision competed against the series at the Emmys in 2021. Mare and WandaVision also had crossover casting in Evan…
There’s a lot of talk over who should be the next James Bond, now that Daniel Craig has hung up the tuxedo, and man of the hour Tom Holland’s name is a part of the mix. Until a name is officially announced, different actors interested in the part are setting their sights on the coveted role. Given the continued popularity of the character, the casting could potentially result in a run in multiple movies as 007, as is the case with most of the others who’ve played Bond. Tom Holland is neck-deep in one major franchise already as the star…

Kidman will play Kay, and Jamie Lee Curtis will play her sister, Dorothy. Five others have also been added to the series, including Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale, Emmy…

Call it Bob Dylan’s mechanic era. During his concert in Buffalo, New York on Tuesday night (September 17th), the 83-year-old artist proved he still has new tricks up his sleeve by breaking out a wrench during his first performance of “Desolation Row” since August 2018. Toward the end of his final appearance on the “Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” Dylan seemingly took a tiny wrench out of nowhere and tapped it rhythmically on the microphone. Thus far, it remains a mystery as to whether this moment was planned or a spontaneous decision sparked by discovering the wrench somewhere backstage. Watch the…

Capture the flag hacking contests at security conferences generally serve two purposes: to help participants develop and demonstrate computer hacking and security skills, and to assist employers and government agencies with discovering and recruiting new talent.But one security conference in China may have taken its contest a step further—potentially using it as a secret espionage operation to get participants to collect intelligence from an unknown target.According to two Western researchers who translated documentation for China’s Zhujian Cup, also known as the National Collegiate Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Competition, one part of the three-part competition, held last year for the first…
I Think We’ve Been Here Before by Suzy Krause I wanted to write a book about the end of the world — the end end, not a book where it almost ends and someone saves it, or one where it could end if these shadows remain unaltered, or even one where the earth is destroyed but the humans escape to another planet. I wanted to blow it all up. The first problem, I knew, was that disaster fiction was well outside of my wheelhouse. I didn’t write disaster novels — unless you count disasters of the heart, disasters of the…
Some lizards can stay underwater for longer by blowing out and then rebreathing bubbles of air. This has been suspected since the behaviour was first observed, and now experiments have confirmed it. While doing fieldwork in Costa Rica in 2015, Lindsey Swierk at Binghamton University in New York State noticed that some lizards (Anolis aquaticus) dived into streams as people approached and stayed underwater for long periods. When her team filmed the lizards underwater, they noticed they blew out large bubbles from their nostrils that remained attached to their heads, and then breathed them in again. Swierk wrote a short…

Wellness is subjective and often tied to our own deeply personal experiences. Even though simple self-care practices like an everything shower or face mask spark joy, there are deeper layers to the concept of wellness.
