The long wait may finally be coming to an end. The full launch plans for the PlayStation 5 Pro have been leaked by Dealabs writer billbil-kun. As rumors come and go, billbil-kun has been more consistent than most. The pattern that we have seen from them is they share the information shortly before the official reveal. In fact, it’s usually close enough that the reveal doesn’t seem to affect those announcement plans at all.

There were quite a few surprising reveals at the Nintendo Direct Partner’s Showcase, but the reveal of Yakuza Kiwami might be the most shocking of them all! Why is that? Simply put, while the franchise, which now goes under a new Dragon-style moniker, is one of Sega’s most successful series, it has never graced Nintendo platforms in the past. Part of the reason for that was the M-rating and the nature of the games themselves. More specifically, the “Underworld” storyline and the characters you’re playing as. However, clearly, those barriers have been broken down if Sega ported and remastered the beginning of the story for the popular console.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

A producer makes a slight tease. Metal Gear Solid fans are getting a new installment this year. Or at least that’s the expectation unless this gets pushed into 2025. While it’s not a continuation of a storyline for fans to dig into, we’re getting a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. But beyond that, some players are wondering if we’ll also get another helping of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. While it’s a waiting game to see if something comes to fruition, there is some hope that we’ll get news on a potential new volume release shortly after the launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

Louisiana State

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
