DLSS 5 gives developers several ways to customize the technology, including adjusting its strength, color, and even masking areas where it shouldn’t be used. The company also emphasizes that DLSS 5 isn’t just a simple visual filter. Instead, it analyzes each frame of the game and uses that information to create new, higher-quality images.
New York City’s annual Japan Parade & Street Fair, a celebration of Japanese and American culture, is returning for its fifth year. This year’s event will include a special performance of the popular stage play, Jujutsu Kaisen The Stage, marking its first appearance in the West. Several actors from the live-action production will be in New York for the event, which will be hosted by manga artist Acky Bright. The performance will focus on the ‘Hidden Inventory’ arc, a beloved storyline from Jujutsu Kaisen that explores the backstories of Gojo and Geto. You can catch this unique show in New York City on Saturday, May 9th.
I found it really interesting how One Piece: Into the Grand Line managed to hint at things that would happen later in the story, even before they actually did. It offered a fresh take on everything. When asked about the live-action show on the official Netflix podcast, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, explained that he didn’t want to impose his own ideas on this adaptation, letting it develop naturally.
Premiering on January 20, 1998, and running for six seasons until May 14, 2003, Dawson’s Creek was a groundbreaking teen drama. Starring James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams, the show followed Dawson Leery, a young filmmaker, and his group of friends growing up in the small town of Capeside, Massachusetts. Unlike many teen dramas of the time—such as Beverly Hills, 90210—Dawson’s Creek, originally on The WB, felt more realistic and relatable. Starting as a mid-season replacement, the show quickly gained a dedicated fanbase and remains popular today. However, it will be leaving Tubi at the end of March, so catch it while you can!
The first issue of In Your Skin blends body horror, suggestive themes, and intense fandom to create a disturbing story about identity and celebrity. It introduces Priyanka, a devoted fan, and her unsettling fixation on actress Ayesha Sen. While occasionally confusing or a bit slow-paced, it’s a compelling and intriguing beginning to a genuinely haunting narrative.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is generally known for being family-friendly, but the comics are often much more mature. Because of this, many R-rated superheroes weren’t included in the early days of the MCU, as Marvel wasn’t sure how to bring those characters to the screen. They eventually tested the waters with the R-rated Defenders series on Netflix. Daredevil kicked things off successfully, but the quality of the shows unfortunately went downhill, reaching its lowest point nine years ago.
In 2026, five noteworthy games will celebrate their 20th anniversaries, and some might be unexpected choices.
We’re probably going to see more Generation 3 Pokémon games, like Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, released on the Switch 2. The original handheld versions of these games are difficult to play now, often requiring emulation instead of playing on a Nintendo console. However, many games from later generations, originally on other devices, also really need to be updated and released for modern systems.
I’m really excited about what Holland’s doing – it feels like a special way to celebrate all of us fans, and they’ve invited creators from all over the world to be a part of it. It’s a bit chaotic though! They’re releasing clips randomly, and we’re all constantly refreshing our feeds to make sure we don’t miss anything. Honestly, it reminds me a lot of that Avengers: Doomsday marketing stunt they pulled last year – it’s definitely a very Marvel kind of move!
Lighthouse Press is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for a special Deluxe Edition of the comic Tyrant. This edition will collect all four issues of Tyrant, featuring large-format scans of the original artwork directly from the hand-drawn pages.
