Former President of Sony Interactive Entertainment of America Shawn Layden has explained why PC releases were a good thing for PlayStation, as reports continue to circulate that the company intends to stop releasing its blockbuster narrative games on the platform.

AMD graphics cards could be set for a significant price increase in the near future, if a recent report turns out to be true. With AMD apparently charging its board partners 10% more for the combined GPU and VRAM packages that it sells to graphics card makers, that extra cost likely to be passed on to gamers. This isn't the first time we've seen AMD increase its prices to its board partners, and, given the way the industry is going, it might not be the last. However, despite this, the AMD RX 9070 still remains the best graphics card you can buy right not in terms of overall value. It just remains to be seen how long that remains the case.

Beloved fast food chain Raising Cane's is constantly churning out its fan-favorite chicken fingers and fries, but where do the leftovers go?

A soft, simple homemade cake that tastes like a donut with a sweet powdered sugar topping!A Delicious, Donut Inspired Snack CakeThis Powdered Sugar Donut Cake brings all the flavor of an old-fashioned cake donut that you know and love but Ive made it as an easy homemade cake form. Its simple to make, no need for frying any donuts in oil, buying a special donut pan, or anything super complicated. Its the perfect dessert that pairs nicely with so many things like coffee or tea, and works well for breakfast, dessert, or as an afternoon snack.Frequently Asked Questions:What does this taste like? This cake tastes very similar to a classic powdered sugar cake donut. The butter extract and nutmeg help create that familiar donut flavor. Where do I find butter extract? Butter extract isnt as hard to find as you may initially think. Many people will say they havent heard of it but it is in a lot of grocery stores. I live in a small area and my Walmart and Kroger carry it so I would assume that would be the case in most areas. If not, you can buy it online, Amazon (affiliate link) carries it. Please dont just skip out on it, it is essential to this recipe to give it that powdered donut taste. Some butter extracts are yellowish and some are clear. Just depends on the brand. How can I change things up? You can add ground cinnamon to the batter or mix it into the powdered sugar topping for a cinnamon sugar donut flavor. Serve these with warm with a cup of coffee or tea. Add some fresh berries and whipped cream with each piece.Serve a slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a really rich, full dessert. How to store leftovers? Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.The powdered sugar will absorb into the cake; dust with a little more before serving if desired. I personally think homemade cakes dry out in the refrigerator so I dont recommend storing in the fridge if you can help it. Can I freeze Powdered Sugar Donut Snack Cakes? Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and add a fresh dusting of powdered sugar before serving. Why did my powdered sugar disappear after storing? The powdered sugar naturally absorbs into the warm cake over time. Simply dust the top with a little more powdered sugar before serving if desired. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)granulated sugarlarge eggs room temperature. Room temperature ingredients mix together more smoothly and help create a softer, more even cake texture.sour cream room temperature. You dont taste the sour cream in the batter. It is there to help with moistness. Homemade cakes can be dry sometimes. They arent like boxed cake mixes so you sometimes gotta add a little something extra to moisten them up and adding an acidic that also has fat in it is a good addition.whole milk room temperature. I definitely recommend full fat milk as well when making homemade cakes. Fat helps with moistness.unsalted butter meltedpure vanilla extractbutter extract I chatted more above in the Frequently Asked Questions section about where to find the extract. It really is an important ingredient, so be sure to take a few minutes and get some. ground nutmeg nutmeg might seem weird, but it really gives it that cake donut taste. Trust me and be sure to include it.all-purpose flour I never sift flour but you certainly can if that is your preference. I just pour it out of the bag and give it a fluff with a fork, then spoon it into the measuring cup (do not pack it in). Then take the flat end of a butter knife and wipe off the excess. This will help you avoid measuring too much flour and your cake turning out dry.baking soda please check the expiration dates of your baking soda and baking powder. I know a lot of times we keep them in our pantry forever and dont realize they are no longer good. If they are no longer active, your cake will turn out dense and tough.baking powderpowdered sugarHow To Make Powdered Sugar Donut CakePrepare baking panPreheat oven to 350F.

Cats have a reputation for being independent, and in many ways they are. But anyone who has tried to work at a laptop with a cat on the keyboard, or woken up with one sitting directly on their face, knows that they can also be needy, clingy, even downright intrusive! When a cat wants to be close, the concept of personal space simply does not apply.This behavior is not random, and these cats arent trying to be difficult. There are real reasons behind their space-invading tendencies, and understanding them will make you look at your cat in a whole new light.Safety Doesnt Need SpaceThe most important thing to understand is that cats do not apply the same social boundaries to their dealings with humans as they do with other cats. Fellow felines tend to be viewed as either close companions or potential competitors for food, territory, and attention. Their two-legged friends are something different entirely. They are providers of warmth and security, and in many cases, are seen as an extension of the cats own territory.When a cat rubs against a person, sits on their belongings, or plants themselves squarely in their line of sight, they are operating from a position of trust rather than entitlement. The cat has identified this person as being safe, so there is no reason to keep their distance.Image Credit: Jaromir Chalabala, ShutterstockAffection and the Need for AttentionOne of the primary drivers of space invasion is straightforward: cats want attention, and they have learned where to find it. When we respond positively to a cat who climbs into our lap, or look up from the screen when a cat walks across our keyboard, we inadvertently teach our cat that proximity gets them what they want.This does not mean the behavior is manipulative, just a simple case of cats learning what actions give the results they desire. Cats form genuine social bonds with the people they live with, which is reflected in their desire to be near them. Behaviors that might seem demanding or inconvenient, like sitting on the book we are reading or positioning themselves between a person and their phone, are simply bids for connection. Cats dont really understand the concept of reading, typing, or doom-scrolling, so they dont understand that their affectionate actions may be a distraction.Warmth and ComfortCats truly are heat-seeking creatures, and its only natural for them to be drawn to a place that offers both warmth and security. A blanket-covered lap, the rhythmic rise-and-fall of a friendly chest, or a body sitting still long enough to be a convenient resting place are all appealing to a cat seeking a comfortable place to settle.Cats maintain a higher body temperature than humans and actively seek out heat sources to help regulate it. Softness and familiarity combined with the warmth of a human body is a far more appealing option than a cold and lonely couch cushion.Image Credit: PhotodriveStudio, ShutterstockSleep SafetySleep makes cats vulnerable. In the wild, a sleeping feline is exposed to potential threats, which is why our cats spend a lot of time finding places that feel safe and secure before falling asleep. For many cats, the safest place available is with the person they trust most.Sleeping on or near an owner is not just about comfort. It tells us that they see us as a place of safety and security; somewhere they know they will be protected. Being chosen as that safe place is, in behavioral terms, a significant expression of trust.When Closeness Becomes a ProblemWhilst being a cats safe place is every bit the compliment it sounds, there are times when this behavior crosses the line from affection to anxiety. Cats that cannot tolerate any separation, who show signs of distress when left alone, or who follow someone from space to space without settling, may be displaying signs of over-attachment or separation anxiety.Signs that closeness has crossed into anxiety include inappropriate elimination, particularly on bedding or clothing, increased vocalization when separated, destructive behavior, and excessive grooming. These are worth taking seriously. Maintaining a consistent daily routine can help reduce stress, as does increasing enrichment through play and dedicated interaction that is not contingent on the cat initiating it. Providing your cat with a range of safe and cosy spaces in different locations and heights can also help them feel more secure in your absence.If this anxiety is not resolving, a vet conversation is the right move. In addition to environmental adjustments, your vet can talk to you about options like pheromone diffusers, dietary changes, supplements, or medication, depending on the severity.Image Credit: Ground Picture, ShutterstockStriking a Balance Between Closeness and Personal SpaceFor most cats, the goal is not to eliminate closeness but to redirect it when needed. Setting up an appealing perch or cubby near a workspace, a cat tree that keeps them near eye level, or a heated bed gives the cat something that satisfies the same underlying need, whilst giving you the space you need to get things done. Consistently rewarding your cat for settling their bottom into that spot rather than on the keyboard or in the middle of your book will help them get the message.Make sure you set aside a time and place where your cat can get their fix of human closeness. The last thing you want to do is deter them from seeing you as a source of safety and comfort, but it is important to set some boundaries to ensure you dont become frustrated with a space-invading feline disrupting your work.The key principle is that when you give your attention to a cat, you are reinforcing their behavior, so make sure to only do it when and where it works for you. Its unfair to give your cat what they want one day, then get annoyed when they repeat this behavior in the future. Cats are highly intelligent and learn quickly, so we must be consistent about what we ask of them.Remember that when a cat invades your personal space, they are giving you their affection and trust, and that is something worth protecting.
