How 'Hollow Knight: Silksong' Fans Turned Waiting for Its Release Into a Game

Since 2021, Araraura has been a watchdog for the game Silksong. He posts daily clips on his YouTube channel, aptly named Daily Silksong News, for viewers seeking the latest on Team Cherry’s hotly anticipated Hollow Knight sequel. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much to report.

I’ve seen a lot of influences for wireless audio products (single-use pill packaging and cassette tapes, for example), but JBL’s Grip is a first. According to JBL, the Grip, a new smallish Bluetooth speaker announced at IFA 2025 that focuses on portability, is modeled after the proportions of a seltzer can. To be honest, my first thought was a tallboy, but maybe that says more about me than it does JBL. No matter what you think of when you see the Grip, it sounds like a solid Bluetooth speaker

He hadn’t scored because he was especially deft at football analytics—or because he was particularly lucky. Instead, he says he used an AI program to help him decide how to gamble.
