One thing I love about this sehkmet is that they also added in continent wide African elements with the Egyptian! The colors and the beads! I feel like most games are afraid to touch African Gods outside of Egypt so this was nice

‘Hypnotized’ brought a reggae-infused rhythm to JMSN’s soulful repertoire, delivering a track that felt both enticing and uplifting. Featured on his third full-length studio album, ‘It is.,’ the song showcased his knack for blending genres while keeping his sound recognizably his own. With its jam-session vibe and lulling backup vocals from Arima Ederra, ‘Hypnotized’ invited listeners to appreciate life’s twists and turns, capturing a carefree yet reflective mood that lovebirds can dance along to. The music video, a quirky single-shot affair, places JMSN at a backyard barbecue. From dancing on the roof to sharing beers and darts, he’s the life of a disjointed party—complete with lawn mowing and good energy. ‘Hypnotized’ was a celebration of rolling with life’s highs and lows and finding the beauty in each moment.

CANDYLAND OUT TONIGHT. WHICH TRAIN ARE U ON? 🐾

Important nuance:

Yes, penis fencing in hermaphroditic flatworms is real.

And somehow, nature still manages to be weirder than fiction.

Some marine flatworms are simultaneous hermaphrodites.

That means each individual has both sperm-producing and egg-producing reproductive organs.

When two of them mate, they may engage in a behavior called penis fencing.

Each flatworm tries to inseminate the other by using a sharp reproductive organ to inject sperm through the body surface.

The evolutionary logic is brutal:

Donating sperm is usually less costly than producing eggs.

So each individual may benefit more from acting as the sperm donor than from becoming the egg-bearing partner.

That part is real.

The classic study described this as sexual conflict inside hermaphrodites — not male vs female individuals, but male-role vs female-role interests within the same animal.

But the key context matters:
not all flatworms do this
not human-like sex
not pregnancy in the mammalian sense
not always one clean winner and loser
not always only one partner inseminated
not a conscious duel for “fatherhood”
not proof nature has a moral lesson
not just a meme — it is real evolutionary biology

In some species or encounters, one individual may inseminate the other more successfully.

In others, both partners can receive sperm.

So the viral version is directionally right:
some hermaphroditic flatworms do fight to avoid the higher reproductive cost of egg production.

But biologically, the cleaner wording is:
The “winner” acts more as the sperm donor.
The “recipient” bears more of the cost of producing and laying eggs.

Translation:
Nature invented sword fighting before humans invented swords.

Tamagotchi Connection V3 (2006) has now been dumped and emulated. Since the ROM is a full 512 KB, dumping the firmware took quite a while, and I most likely haven't cleaned up all the errors yet. Overall though, it's working.

I’m only allowed to post clips from the trailer for now, but here’s some of my effects work from a short film I’ve been working on called Immortals!

Henry Nowak's mother has said:

"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."

And there you have it.

[Chamberlain's Ghost @RSA_Observer]

The Henry Nowak thing. If you watch the video, before Nowak complains of being unable to breathe and having been stabbed, the one police officer notes that "he has a mouthful of blood". Now when a person with a mouthful of blood starts complaining that they can't breathe and that they have been stabbed, alarm bells should be starting to go off. Then, a few moments later a policewoman requests an ambulance saying "His pupils aren't even reacting". By that point anyone with any bit of sense would surely have realised that there was a very serious problem. Now these same officers, apparently having been bereft of anything approaching basic common sense, are blaming their DEI training.
