While the moment-to-moment gameplay of Resident Evil Requiem is definitely its biggest highlight, wed be remiss if we didnt also highlight the games boss fights. While not the most plentiful compared to other action games, Requiems boss fights are still a lot of fun to experience, both for the setpieces that spark them off and the ensuing punch-up. There are always new and interesting horrific mutant monsters to put bullets in, after all.

With both Marathon and Slay the Spire 2 amassing tens of thousands of players at launch today, dropping a third, hotly-anticipated (and entirely different) game on Steam at the same time appears to be making it hard for people to actually buy them.

In the weeks (days, actually) that followed the release of Hytale, we saw simple texture packs, full-blown conversion mods, and everything in between drop alongside its rapid official patches. Now, Hypixel lead Simon Collins-Laflamme and the Hytale studio have gone full Mr. Beast mode, promising to pay out $100k big ones to up to 65 winners who wow the team and the Hytale community with the most inventive mods.

I'm going to level with you: my Old School Runescape bossing chops could use some work. My current account is the blueprint for AFKscape, with combat levels in the high 90s courtesy of the Gemstone Crab, and skill capes that were earned through the hardest grafts of all: standing still and occasionally clicking Redwoods, and cooking sharks down in the Rogue's Den. Don't get me wrong, I love me some PvM. Slayer is probably my favorite skill the MMO has to offer, and I've spent more than my fair share of time at Barrows. However, the nervousness that comes with going into a big ol' boss fight, knowing my pitiful bank is at stake, has long put me off really delving into the content I should be exploring. It's only during Grid Master that I finally got Jad down to a fine art, before proceeding to khopesh the ever-living shit out of OSRS' end-game goliaths. With the arrival of Old School Runescape's new bovine boss, Brutus, I'm hopeful that what I would consider to be the game's first true early game challenge will help prevent newer players from getting those same cold feet later on.

They rescued two kittens from an animal shelter and quickly realized just how much the young cats needed each other. Frankie @frankies_fostersFrankie, a volunteer with Best Friends Animal Society, received a call asking if she could take in two kittens rescued from a city shelter. She didn't hesitate to say yes.She welcomed her first foster kittens of the year and set up a cozy playpen for them. At just four weeks old, the feline sisters were underweight and needed dedicated care to help them grow. "They were just at weaning age when they arrived and were still learning how to eat on their own. The first week was messy and sweet in equal measure," Frankie told Love Meow.One thing stood out right away: the kittens clung to each other for everything. Frankie @frankies_fostersPoppy (the calico) and Panther (the black kitten) seemed more interested in playing in their food than actually eating it, keeping their foster mom on her toes. "I supplemented with syringe feedings for a few days to ensure they were getting enough nutrition."After each meal, Frankie cleaned them up and gently wrapped them in a soft towel. Instantly, the kittens relaxed, purring in unison as they drifted off to sleep. Frankie @frankies_fostersFrankie adjusted their diet until she found what worked best for their delicate tummies. With proper care and support from the medical team, the kittens began to turn a corner. "After a couple of weeks, they were steadily gaining weight. They became energetic, playful, and curious. And that's when I knew they were going to be okay."From the very beginning, their bond was unmistakable. Frankie @frankies_fostersLike two peas in a pod, Poppy and Panther did everything together. Whether it was mealtime, playtime, or nap time, the sisters moved through the day side by side. They groomed each other, leaned into one another for comfort, and seemed happiest when they were touching.Often, they could be found curled into a tiny cuddle puddle, fast asleep in each other's arms. Frankie @frankies_fosters"Panther always seems to stay on watch for her sister, Poppy. She leans into her, waits until she knows she is asleep, and only then lets herself drift off too."Frankie often walked into the room to find the kittens wrapped around each other. The moment they noticed their foster mom, they burst into a chorus of happy purrs and squeaks. Frankie @frankies_fosters"Some of their favorite things included dramatic wrestling matches that would seamlessly turn into grooming sessions, climbing their playpen as they grew more adventurous, and of course, cuddling," Frankie shared."They both loved to be close, whether that meant snuggling each other or climbing into my lap." Frankie @frankies_fostersPanther wasn't feeling her best when she first arrived, but once she recovered and regained her strength, her true personality blossomed.She became a feisty bundle of energy who loved exploring, climbing, and zooming around the room, though nothing made her happier than being with her sister. Poppy, on the other hand, was a constant purr machine with the adorable habit of meowing herself to sleep. "She always insists on sleeping on or right beside Panther." Frankie @frankies_fosters"It quickly became clear that they needed to be adopted as a pair, and thankfully, many potential adopters felt the same way."One family came across the duo and instantly fell in love with their charming personalities. Seeing the deep bond they shared, the family knew right away that the kittens couldn't be separated. A week after Valentine's day, Poppy and Panther headed off to their forever home, together. Frankie @frankies_fostersAfter thoroughly investigating their new home, the two curled up together in a cozy pile, filling the space with a symphony of purrs."Today, Panther and Poppy, now Boo and Barry, are part of a large, loving family who absolutely adore and spoil them. Watching them leave together for their forever home was the best possible ending." Frankie @frankies_fostersShare this story with your friends.
