First, Shah Rukh Khan released his film ‘Dunki’ at the box office, and the very next day, Prabhas smashed onto the cine screen with ‘Salaar,’ breaking SRK’s record for the highest opener on the first day. However, there was a third film that nobody seems to be discussing. Fans are engrossed in conversations about ‘Salaar’ and ‘Dunki.’ ‘Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom,’ starring Jason Momoa, was released on December 22, just after ‘Salaar.’ Despite…

Adobe Inc. walked away from its $20 billion acquisition of startup Figma Inc. after clashing with regulators in Europe and the UK. Adobe will pay Figma a $1 billion termination fee, the companies said in a statement on Monday.

Doja Cat’s fandom is in shambles, and she couldn’t care less. Throughout her career, the rapper has maintained a bizarre relationship with her fans online — one that embraced their support but harshly rejected anything beyond that, including their inquiries into her life outside of music. She’ll go into the booth and record the songs, but her loyalties seemingly end there.

Exoprimal is one of the most ridiculous games of the year, but it’s also one of the most fun. It’s unabashedly charming as it builds a compelling, campy narrative across matches, in which giant Exosuits face off against AI-summoned dinosaurs. It intertwines its gameplay and narrative in ways few multiplayer games do, in a way that left me curious about its creation. Just days after the game’s launch, I spoke to Exoprimal’s development team to learn more about Capcom’s unique approach to creating a world for this…

The investigation began after Ma critiqued Beijing’s regulation of the financial sector in 2020, forcing Ant to pull the plug on what would have been the largest initial public…

On the one hand, he was employing the sort of mandated PR talk that positions “fans”…
