I was so thrilled to hear that Brody Jenner and his wife, Tia Blanco, are expecting their second baby! They got married last July, and it’s wonderful news that they’re growing their family. The baby is due later this year, and I couldn’t be happier for them both!
An “unrealized loss,” as any financially literate soul might know, is when the price of your asset plummets below the price you paid for it. A simple arithmetic tragedy, compounded by the human tendency to cling to memories of grandeur. In 2025, XRP soared like a drunkard on a trapeze, breaching the $3 mark with the grace of a bull in a china shop. The “grey area”-that shadow of despair-vanished, as if struck by a bolt of Chekhovian irony.

So, I was reading up on this new game, and apparently it’s gotten super expensive to finish – like, ¥7 billion, which is around $44.4 million! Sources are saying that’s why NetEase is pulling out. They could keep working on it, but they’d have to buy the rights and everything else, which is a huge cost. It’s a bummer, honestly.

Valve announced in a Steamworks Development update that all three of its new products will be released this year, with more details coming as plans are finalized. The ongoing shortage of memory is still a problem, but now limited storage is also an issue, likely caused by the memory shortage.

Insanity mode in Requiem changes where enemies appear, makes them faster, moves items around, and forces players to use Ink Ribbons to save during specific sections – all while making enemies more difficult. While these ideas have worked well in other Resident Evil games, they aren’t executed effectively here.

The project initially known as Be Fri (Best Friends) was intended to be one of the studio’s first original films in years, following Hoppers, which premiered in the US on March 6th. However, it was replaced in the summer 2025 lineup by Elio, a film that wasn’t successful despite director Pete Docter attempting to rework it mid-production, which led to director Adrian Molina leaving the project—a project that drew on Molina’s own childhood experiences. Docter later explained that he realized his priority was to create films with broad appeal, especially after more personal Pixar stories like Elemental and Lightyear didn’t perform as well. When discussing the changes made to Elio, he stated, “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”

The story primarily explores the difficulties of humans and Simurians living together, but also shows what happens to fan-favorite characters from the first story. It begins with the death of Yuta Okkotsu, who passed away after losing his wife, Maki Zenin. The narrative then follows his children, revealing the sad fate of Yuji Itadori, what became of Nobara Kugisaki, and the stories of other original characters. Throughout the series, Megumi Fushiguro isn’t mentioned at all, and even in the finale, his fate is only confirmed briefly without further explanation.

Despite the recent dip, XRP remains inside a broader consolidation range, suggesting the market is still searching for direction. Whether it stabilizes or extends its decline may depend largely on how the market reacts to the nearby $1.33-$1.35 support zone. One can only hope the support is as steadfast as a well-mannered British gentleman-uncommon, but not impossible.

What really surprised me about Requiem is how realistic the enemies are. It’s a bit of a departure for the series, honestly. Usually, the games lean into being totally over-the-top, which fits the crazy world they’ve built. This time, they went for a more believable, gritty feel, which throws you off in a cool way during gameplay. But I can see how some players might want to keep that classic, over-the-top action going, especially when you’re already dealing with so much horror!
