Her identity is not explicitly stated online but she's known to be a fan of male, mid-30s, twee-dressed characters who wear elbow patches.

In this week's Entertainment news summary, we have a discussion about the latest games to hit the market, including a pair of phenomenal modern shooters and a great narrative-focused game. These titles are expected to be popular among gamers who prefer to play multiplayer shooters or narrative-driven games. First up is the return of classic RPGs in the form of Battlefield 6, which has seen some issues but has enough to keep fans busy for a few matches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC (Steam Deck: Unsupported), and PC. The game is set to feature a new class called Scout and has been reportedly wonky at times, but players have reportedly had no issues in previous iterations of the franchise. Next up are the final episodes of Dispatch, a series that follows protagonist Robert Robertson III as he attempts to deal with the fallout from his budding love triangle. The series has been criticized for its characters' over-the-top powers and choices, but fans have praised it for its intriguing storylines and unpredictable plot twists.

Four underrated bands from the 90s powerviolence scene have been highlighted in this VICE article, including Stapled Shut, Monster X, Sore Throat, and Hellnation. Stapled Shut is a hardcore powerviolence band formed in California in 1991, with their 1996 album L.A. Times being highly regarded for its grit and mess. They are praised by fans for creating "guttural bullshit" and releasing split albums with other defining powerviolence bands. Monster X emerged in the mid-90s from Albany, New York, blending grindcore elements into their music. Their 2003 compilation album Indoctrination features a side-splitting Spazz/Spazz split, further solidifying their place in the powerviolence scene. Sore Throat formed in the UK in 1987 and is credited with pioneering noisecore. Their 1989 album Never Mind The Napalm Here's Sore Throat showcases a fast hardcore punk foundation with guttural vocals that deviated from other bands of their time, while Hellnation blends harsh riffs with sharp vocals on albums like Cheerleaders For Imperialism.

With rare excepcions like Star Wars: Visions and Love Death + Robots, anthologies have become a dying breed in animé. Gononese are the days when studio s—seeingly already at the height of their powers—banded together to make once-in-a-generation pastichees like Robot Carnival and Memories . These influential directors like Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell , Ninja Scroll , and Va-mpire Hunter D: Bloodlust ) and Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Wicked City , Ninjago , and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust ) offer viewers a kaleidoscopic portal into wildly varied tales, each with distinct tone and styles, affirming animation as an art form worthy of marvelizing. And now that lost forms are making a revival, spotlighting the humble beginning of one of mangá’s most unpredictable auteurs, Tatsuki Fujiyoto. In 2025, few creators are more versatile and influential than Fujiyoto, whose one-shot mangá, Look Back , adapted into a stirring Studio Durian feature rivaling the work of Studio Ghibli, and Chainsaw Man’s first season had its unique intros in every episode, and its post-apocalyptic opening references Hollywood films before the title

November 3, 2025 Don't you think you should have a little more dignity than this? You haven't seen this girl since 11th grade, yet you're seriously going to click through all of her shitty photos from October? So she ate greasy food somewhere... y ou really need to see that? Is this her house? Her friend's? An Airbnb? You wouldn't know, because you're not in her life. Like who the hell is this? And where the hell is this? You don't need to live this way. You don't need to see the photos that a girl you've possibly never even spoken to deemed to be "October things." It's not like "October things" even means anything besides holding up a beer in a field. The only thing you even remember about this girl is that she accidentally ran over a basset hound right after getting her learners permit. Guess these people accept her for that. Would your friends accept you if you made a life-altering mistake? But to be clear, this girl definitely isn't thinking about you.

PlayStation Remove's OnlyFans sex game, ButLeaves Steam Ripper's quality control, has been removed from the PlayStation Store due to concerns about its relevance and presence. The game, titled "OnlyFaans PlayStation Store Sony By Ethan GaCh", was announced in November 2025 by the tagline of OF Model Simulator 2025, a visual novel RPG featuring models who max out their clout through customization and snap pics, travel adventures, and body enhancements. Despite not being for sale on the PlayStation Store, the game remains available online via Steam. While publisher GamesMM Studios lists themselves under the name "GamesMM Studios" on the PSN, it appears they have traded in their clout for a more modest listing of Cozy Climb Game and Peak , which are both apparent rip-offs of popular PC games. However, the game has been downvoted while still available for sale on the PSN. As for Steam's moderation record, it publishes over 10,000 games each week according to their track record. PlayStation is publishing a handful of titles per year at most.

Lamb of God have paid homage to their heavy metal heritage and Ozzy Osbourne's legacy by performing a live cover of "Children of the Grave" on a recent headlining set. The Virginia band has since shared footage of their performance on social media, which is available for viewing below. The concert was held on July 5th on Black Sabatah's final tour before Ozzy Osbourne passed away due to Parkinson's disease and multiple health issues earlier this year. "Children of the Grave" has been a fan favorite since its release in 1983, and the cover performance is likely an effort to raise awareness for Black Sabatah's charity event, which aimed to raise over $200 million for charity. The proceeds from the Back to the Beginning concert went towards three worthy causes: Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorn Children's Home, and Curé Parkinson's Foundation. It remains unclear how Ozzy Osbourne felt about the cover, but it is clear that he would have been proud of his legacy being honored in such a way.
