The Super Mario Galaxy Movie could be arriving on streaming services just a month after it hit theaters. That’s according to a recent listing on When to Stream (via Forbes), which has the animated blockbuster coming to Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and other platforms on May 5. If accurate, that would be just over a month since the movie’s April 1 debut in theaters. The previous entry, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, took several months before it first came to Peacock in 2023. It would be a surprising move considering Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment’s big-screen adaptation feels like one of…
What if the same pair of shoes were behind three marathon world records—and the extraordinary feat of the first marathon completed in under two hours?The 2026 London Marathon is a historic event already, thanks to the time recorded by Kenyan Sabastian Kimaru Sawe. He is the first athlete to complete a 26.2-mile race in less than two hours, something long considered impossible for humans, crossing the finish line in 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds.Making the London Marathon even more memorable was the performance of Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha, who stopped the clock just 11 seconds after Sawe. Both performances…

It’s common knowledge that parrots can learn to speak like humans, sometimes a little too much. Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in England even has five foul-mouthing African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus). But can they use names the way we do? “Although we know that wild parrots and some other animals have vocal signatures and can even use them to direct communication to other individuals, it is difficult to state precisely that they use names in the same manner as humans,” Christine Dahlin, a professor of…
Back in October, the singing cast of Netflix’s hit animated musical KPop Demon Hunters took to the stage for the first time and performed the film’s breakout hit “Golden” live on The Tonight Show. Since then, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami have appeared at multiple award shows and events performing the song over and over and over. The girls kill it every time, but there are plenty of other songs on the soundtrack. Finally, almost a year after the movie premiered on Netflix, the voices of Huntr/x have performed a different song…kind of…it’s, actually kind of a bummer how…
The ties that bind The Manus founders, Xiao Hong and Ji Yichao, have already relocated most of their team from China to Meta’s Singapore office and have taken pains to cut any lingering Chinese ties in the lead-up to the Meta acquisition late last year—even turning down Chinese authorities’ requests for meetings or investment, according to The Wire China. They paved the way for the move to Singapore by registering the firm Butterfly Effect Pte and setting up Butterfly Effect Holding as a parent company based in the Cayman Islands. Now, the Chinese government’s decision to quash the deal creates…
Thanks to the adoption of features like rapid triggers, analog switches and TMR sensors, the tech in fancy gaming keyboards has changed surprisingly quickly in the past few years.

What kind of world lies 1,300 meters below the surface? Scientists have now succeeded in directly observing a realm that had previously been inferred rather than seen. There, hot fluid surged upward from the seafloor, and a unique marine ecosystem unlike any previously documented was thriving. The Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) announced that a team led by Principal Researcher Park Sung-hyun had successfully completed an expedition aboard the icebreaking research vessel Araon in the…
Following Saturday night’s apparent attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC, alleged shooter Cole Tomas Allen, due to be charged later today, was revealed to have described himself as an independent games developer, with a single game available on Steam. In the hours that followed, Bohrdom‘s store page gained 134 new reviews on top of the three it had received prior to the shooting attempt, most of which are memes, gags or politically fueled complaints. As of this morning, the game’s store page remains on Steam, but it has now been withdrawn from sale. Bohrdom released…
Super ZSNES can also replace the original audio samples with uncompressed versions (“restored” versions of SNES game soundtracks that claim to use uncompressed versions of the original audio samples are a whole thing), and can add actual 3D to games that use the Mode 7 effect rather than just upscaling it. These enhancements don’t directly modify the ROM files, nor do they include data from ROMs, insulating the project from legal action. An overview video by Modern Vintage Gamer shows many of these new updates in action, and they can definitely give old SNES games a dramatically different look and…
