The New York Times reports Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a second extramarital relationship, this time with Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president of healthcare.

Powell reports directly to him. Both are married to other people.

Five people who worked at Nvidia told the Times. Two said the pair were filmed being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during March’s GTC conference. The Times has not seen the video.

Huang told a reporter “I don’t think you should be talking to me directly” and hung up.

The report comes days after he admitted being unfaithful, linked to a separate relationship under national security review. The Wall Street Journal says the board is preparing to oust him. Nvidia stock fell sharply in after-hours trading.

Discord shut down a nine-year-old To Love-Ru server and suspended dozens of members.

The bans reached people who never posted or shared files, according to affected users and the former server owner.

Discord pointed to safety-rule violations over adult illustrations of the series, some of them AI-generated.

Appeals from passive members were rejected and the permanent blocks stayed.

A study estimates that hololive VTuber Juufuutei Raden’s audio guides for the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art generated around 36 million yen in regional spending.

The museum paid 1.54 million yen for the guides covering its Rodin collection and other exhibitions.

Hitotsubashi University associate professor Tetsuya Aoki and museum staff found about 34 percent of visitors came because of Raden.

Most were from outside the prefecture, many were first-timers, and their lodging rate was more than double other visitors.

Researchers linked roughly half of the 70 million yen in total local spending to those extra visitors.

The gap between a modest fee and the estimated impact shows how the collab reached audiences the museum usually misses.

A Japanese TV debate found that 70% of men in VR environments use anime girl avatars to socialize.

The discussion on ABEMA noted that in VRChat the outfits have more variety and it makes forming friendships simpler.

Some build romantic connections with other people also running female avatars. These are known as “osato.”

One man in his late 30s has stuck with the same cute girl look for seven years, never swaps his male voice, and logs as many as 15 hours.

He says he only wants to be the version of himself he prefers, yet seeing his real face in the mirror afterward is difficult.

The drop from that avatar back to the mirror is a steep one.

Watt Studio released new gameplay for Tsarevna, its ballet-inspired action game set in a dark Slavic folklore world.

The footage shows protagonist Swan cutting down monsters while staying en pointe, chaining air combos and spinning attacks.

Motion was captured from Bolshoi Ballet principal dancer Alyona Kovalyova.

Her sword can shift into a rain of daggers mid-fight, turning each encounter into a deadly performance.

The game is currently set for 2027 on Steam.

Rika Matsumoto sang the Pokémon theme on pavement at LOCAL FOOD FIGHT in Tottori. The event had advertised 50,000 attendees.

Attendees and vendors said the real crowd was a few hundred. There was no stage. The mic cut out and tracks failed. She kept performing and turned the problems into jokes.

The organizer has deleted its accounts and stopped responding.

The PlayStation 3 turns 20 today. It launched in Japan on November 11, 2006.

Sony gave it a Blu-ray drive, built-in HDD, and HDMI out, plus support for BD, DVD, CD, SACD, Memory Stick, SD cards, and more.

It handled JPEG, TIFF, MP3, ATRAC, WMA, AVCHD, DivX, and a long list of other formats, so a lot of people used it as their main media player instead of just a game console.

That broad support helped put Blu-ray in living rooms and let the PS3 handle most of a household’s digital content in one box.

Persona 4 Revival’s team actually debated how thick Chie Satonaka’s thighs should be.

Director Daisuke Yajima said the 3D model used thicker thighs so her kung fu moves would look better in motion, while the illustrations stayed closer to the original slimmer design.

That left a clear gap between the model and the art.

They found a compromise, and the same level of scrutiny kept going on the bust-up illustrations.

An Umamusume fan used AI to replace every car in Need for Speed Underground 2 with horse girls.

Creator CyberNekoYuki started with a simple idea. “The plan was to swap in two or three characters. Then my friends joined me for some offline LAN races, and I somehow ended up changing the whole roster.”

He ended up with 36 characters racing around Bayview, including Oguri Cap and Haru Urara. The mod was never released publicly, just used for private sessions.

Going from a couple of swaps to the full roster is exactly how these things go.

Japanese voice actress Hazuki Tanda painted her face black for a Shaun the Sheep costume and posed with a banana and vegetables.

Foreign users called it blackface and pointed to the banana as a racial stereotype. Japanese users pushed back, saying Shaun’s face is black in the original design and she was just recreating the character.

Once the photos left Japan, the argument was already locked in.

Correction: The car photo in the original post is from a different accident.

Here’s the actual footage from the person who escaped:

A Japanese man says he escaped a sinking car by remembering a tip from Detective Conan.

His car was hit and went into a river after another driver reversed near a cemetery.

For the first 20 seconds he thought he was going to die, then a scene from episode 1078 flashed through his mind.

He waited for the cabin to fill so the pressure equalized, pushed the door open, and swam out.

A nearby resident helped him onto the bank. He wrote that he “can’t thank the creator of Conan enough.”

Shift Up says Stellar Blade: Blood Rain is still progressing toward their target quality level.

The studio says it’s following the principle of “securing sufficient development time” so it can deliver the highest level of completeness.

More information will come in stages.

Still no release window.

Miyu Tomita defended the humor in Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! after criticism of its erotic scenes.

The voice actress for Komaro Michinoku told Animate the series’ racy jokes can be exaggerated but never feel vulgar.

From her perspective as a woman, she said they are woven in so naturally that they often do not register as that kind of joke.

Tomita added that the show balances those moments with touching episodes, and that her raspy take on Komaro, initially a worry, ended up one of the character’s most liked traits.

Japanese cosplayer and idol Iori Moe said she has a secret account with all her “prohibited” content available for anyone who can find it.

Fans immediately compared the post to Gol D. Roger’s speech in One Piece and declared the start of the internet’s “great pirate era.”

The comparison was never going to be anything else.

Rockstar confirmed Grand Theft Auto 6 is targeting 30 frames per second on consoles.

The studio said the game was built “from the ground up” for current-gen PlayStation and Xbox, “pushing both platforms to their absolute limits” while keeping Leonida’s density and visual fidelity.

PS5 Pro gets PSSR and ray-traced shadows. No 60fps mode has been announced.

A PC version still hasn’t been confirmed.

Mr. Popo has been censored in French TV broadcasts of Dragon Ball Daima.

The character no longer appears on screen at all, but fans can still hear his dialogue.

The change was present from the first episode on Gulli, with scenes cut or reframed to keep him out of view.

Team Cherry confirmed the next Hollow Knight: Silksong expansions will be free.

The physical edition manual says the game “will expand with free content packs” and calls Sea of Sorrow the first giant expansion.

The nautical update was first announced in December 2025 and adds new areas, bosses, and tools.

It is still listed only as “coming soon.”

No other packs have been named.

Cyberpunk 2077 just got a new multiplayer mod with roleplay servers.

The mod adds multiplayer support and dedicated RP servers set in Night City.
