I often contend to anyone who will listen that 2015’s You Must Build A Boat from designer Luca Redwood, to this day, is my favorite mobile game. It is the sequel to the also-excellent 10000000 and combines a great-feeling match-three puzzle game with some simple base building and RPG mechanics. Since playing those games, I have always been on the lookout for games that take match-three mechanics and combine them with rewarding upgrade systems in a comparable way.I am not far into Titanium Court, but it has the potential to hit those same high notes that I loved from Redwood’s…
Security leaders should be turning offensive AI cyber tools on their own systems before threat actors do, exploiting the innate defenders’ advantage to attain the high ground and increase their chances of withstanding a cyber attack.

Square Enix has revealed that its long-running MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this August – yay!

That’s according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, which states McQuarrie will write, direct, and produce the feature while Jordan will also produce and possibly star in the film. This news comes after a big 2025 for both names – McQuarrie’s latest Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, hit theaters and might be the last in the series (at least for now), while Jordan won an Oscar last month for his (incredible) performance as…

What are you up to this weekend? I’ve been watching Rooster — have you seen it? My heart swells at how Steve Carell’s character adores and always wants to hang out with his adult daughter, who, btw, is played by the incredible Charly Clive, who I feel like we’d be friends with IRL. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web… Banana Republic is 30% off through April 27th (exclusions apply). How timeless is this square linen tank? I also want to wear these painter pants on every future trip. Every guy,…
