Cat Quest 3 is here! I have previewed the game, reviewed the game, and somewhere in-between conducted an interview on the game as well. It's a Cat Quest 3 hat trick, folks. I was approached to shoot some questions over to the development studio, The Gentlebros, and got some answers back from Desmond Wong. Alongside being The Gentlebros' CEO, Wong is also an artist and game designer for Cat Quest 3, so he might be the perfect person to answer a variety of questions. I asked about the new setting and some of the design choices going into a third Cat Quest, as you'd probably expect. But I also thought it would be fun to ask some more broad questions, such as what it's like to be part of a Nintendo Direct, for example. That has to be a weird experience, right? Anyway, check it out, and let us know what you think!

Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

“It’s a reality check. The reality is, some people don’t stay. And not only is that okay but in this really gorgeous way, it is the necessary cycle of life. We go through phases, seasons, and hopefully we all go through an evolution. Within that cycle of life and time, we will outgrow people who we thought would forever be in our orbit. It’s reality.” These are the wise words of 23-year-old New Yorker Justin Frett. He’s grasped a concept that many of us find deeply uncomfortable: Some loves aren’t for life. Some people are the love of your season.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
