Tom Holland wants to ‘repay the favor’ and have Spider-Man appear in an MCU TV episode with The Punisher 🕸️☠️
“Let’s see what an R-rated version of Spider-Man looks like”

Former Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada has finally visited Waffle House after years of fan requests to add it as a stage
"Next time, I'll be back at 3 AM for fight time"
This man protected a teen heading to school from man who sat next to her and allegedly harassed her.
She began crying on the bus, then the citizen stepped in and even got off the bus with her to make sure she was safe 🙏
This man ordered 165 pool noodles from Walmart. When they arrived through FedEx, there was a little surprise. They had been individually boxed.
You just know that Walmart employee is paid by the hour. 😆😆
And the FedEx driver got to unload an entire truck in one place, and they weren’t heavy.
There is a lot of misinformation going around regarding the crunch at Rockstar India currently for GTA 6.
First off the crunch is 100% happening but the most important thing to first understand is this isn't a Rockstar issue it's an indian work culture issue.
Working till the early hours in the morning is unfortunately quite common in India, work/life balance doesn't really exist at all, my brother in law is a radio jockey, actor and wedding emcee in Gujurat (its common for indians to have multiple jobs) and I spoke to him a week ago and he's getting roughly 2 hours of sleep a night right now, this stuff is common.
When you have 1.4 billion people, the competition is fierce you have to be willing to 1up the next guy to get ahead because if you don't there is always someone willing to take your place, that's just the way it is. Rockstar is merely taking advantage of this as most international businesses do.
Out of all the studios at Rockstar, Rockstar India is the one I have the most connections at, I literally fly to India next month and will be catching up with a number of devs while I am there.
Crunch was always inevitable for GTA 6 otherwise you wouldn't see this game till late 2027 probably. It's gigantic in size and scope and no other developer will be able to match what Rockstar is doing for 15-20 years, there is an absolute insane amount of stuff to test and it comes at an extreme cost and unfortunately Rockstar India is paying the biggest price.
When you finally play GTA 6, maybe take a minute to just give thanks to all the the devs at Rockstar and what they are putting themselves through to get this game out the door, I know I certainly will.

eBay just took action and BANNED a scalper who bought Steam controllers early, then resold them at a higher price.
This guy has reported it, and they actually removed the listing and banned the seller.
This is how you fight back against scalpers ruining it for real fans.
Church of Scientology says the TikTok speedruns are 'hate crimes'
An ex-Scientologist and niece of the church’s leader says she appreciates the trolling, calling it 'the only thing being done to make Scientology uncomfortable and to turn them into a joke so that new people don’t get trapped by them'

A new Rockstar Games review on Glassdoor from an employee working on GTA 6 says:
- They’re expected to complete tasks that usually take 5-6 months in 2-3 months
- Work schedule has been hectic since last month and they’re working overtime
- The last few weeks have been a toll on their mental health
- Some colleagues had to work till 3AM in the morning after completing their shifts
It seems like Rockstar is pushing hard right now to get the game out in November.
I just tested this with my digital copy of RE Requiem that I purchased on April 10th, on PS5 Pro with cmos battery removed and disconnected from the internet and it still works. It seems like this persons finding is correct that it switches to a permanent license after two weeks
Houston activists shut down a gas station after a clerk forced a 13-year-old boy to use the restroom outside and recorded him.
The boy needed to use the restroom so badly that he went behind the building, pooped, and used grass to wipe himself.
The employee inside the store recorded it and showed other middle school kids that were stopping in the store while saying things like, "Look at his wee-wee, look at his butt" while they laughed and recorded it.
