The ‘Dan Da Dan’ Finale’s Best ‘Gundam’ Reference Keeps Us All in the Thrall of the Red Comet

There’s been a lot to love in Dan Da Dan‘s sophomore season, but the late arrival of the latest addition to Momo and Okarun’s oddball friend group, Kinta Sakata, has been a delight. Manga readers already knew that the character’s debut would herald some wild moments from the series being adapted, but one of the absolute highlights of seeing Kinta’s transition from page to screen as a huge mecha otaku is just how much the anime has completely embraced the character as a vehicle for Mobile Suit Gu

Friendslop is coming for the Switch 2

is a reporter who covers the business, culture, and communities of video games, with a focus on marginalized gamers and the quirky, horny culture of video game communities. During today’s Nintendo Indie World showcase, I had two epiphanies. The first was the realization that friendslop games are about to hit the Switch 2 like a falling piano in a Road Runner cartoon. The second was that I love that for me, because that means I can finally play them. My friends love “friendslop,” the initially

Survey of 1,000 Experts Shows Quantum Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

In July 1925—exactly a century ago—famed physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his equally famous colleague, Wolfgang Pauli. In it, Heisenberg confesses that his “views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day,” requesting Pauli’s prompt feedback on an attached manuscript he’s considering whether to “complete…or to burn.” That was the Umdeutung (reinterpretation) paper, which set the foundation for a more empirically verifiable version of quantum mechanics. For that r

After 100 Years of Quantum Mechanics, Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

Takashi Yamazaki’s ‘Godzilla’ Ride Is Getting a Slick New Mechagodzilla

A few months ago, we learned that Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki‘s next project with the king of all Kaiju wasn’t going to be his next movie, but a new theme park ride set to open in Japan this summer. Now we have more details of what to expect… and what familiar shiny face Godzilla will throw hands with during it. Today it was confirmed that Yamazaki’s ride, set to open next month at the Seibuen Amusement Park in Tokorozawa, Japan, is called Godzilla the Ride: Great Clash, and wi

Samsung needs to build a Galaxy Watch that looks as good as this mod

TL;DR A Redditor modified a mechanical watch body to fit the electronics from a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The 40mm Watch 4 was supposedly the only one small enough to fit in the case, which appears to be from a Panerai Luminor watch. Even the crown button is reportedly functional. What’s the most customizable device you own? Plenty of us dress up our phones with a case intended to help it stand out, but we might argue that smartwatches place an even higher priority on customization. Alternate b

The Lowfree Flow84 is the mechanical keyboard Apple would make today

The Lowfree Flow84 is the latest episode in my on-again, off-again love affair with mechanical keyboards. I describe it as the mechanical keyboard Apple would make for a mix of good and bad reasons, but we’ll get to that! It’s one of a relatively new breed of low-profile mechanical keyboards, something that would have seemed a contradiction in terms just a few years earlier … What’s a mechanical keyboard anyway? Given that Apple-style chiclet keyboards now dominate the market, and many Mac us
