5. Hollow Knight: Silksong (Confirmed Release Window) Developer: Team Cherry (Adelaide) Genre: Metroidvania Platform: All Platforms We know, we know. Listing Hollow Knight: Silksong as an “upcoming” 2026 game is both obvious and slightly cheeky. However, after years of silence and speculation, Adelaide’s Team Cherry has finally confirmed that Hornet’s long-awaited sequel is scheduled for a Q3 2026 release. It is, quite simply, the most anticipated indie game in the world. Silksong takes players to a new kingdom, Pharloom, offering faster, more acrobatic combat and an even more expansive world than its predecessor. When Silksong lands, it won’t just dominate the 2026 discussion in Australia; it will be the center of the global gaming conversation.

Spending the weekend with the new 11-inch iPad Air update, I think this is the best future-proofed iPad for the moment. I just wonder when the basic iPad will get its upgrade, which could tilt recommendations back to that model again www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

The thread this is attached to demonstrates what my dad calls the “Black aide” problem, which is: Does this non-Black politician enter Black-majority spaces on their own terms or with their one (always one!) Black aide as a buffer/interpreter? Most politicians are the latter kind.

Incredibly angry about this every day.
The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.
Wonder why that is?
