Rumble Club is a new cartoon brawler from Lightfox Games, tossing players into hazard-filled arenas to partake in everything from classic deathmatches to cupcake-chomping competitions. Published by Mad Mushroom, a label owned by content creator group OTK, the game is focused on the kind of wide appeal and simple fun that could make the experience appealing to streamers and their audiences. There's such a thing as too simple, however, and Rumble Club is definitely toeing that line. A glance at Rumble Club reveals some unavoidable points of comparison, with Fall Guys in particular providing an obvious inspiration for the game's aesthetic and flavor. A greater focus on ostensibly physics-based fighting invokes Gang Beasts and Party Animals, and although Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party both came up in Screen Rant's interview about the game, Mario Kart battle modes feel like the more tangible Nintendo influence. Defining a title by its similarities to others isn't necessarily ideal, but Rumble Club feels especially aware of the party game market and how to arrange a grab bag version of it.

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a 2024 adventure game developed and published by Happy Broccoli Games. It is a comedic detective story where players solve puzzles to progress through a mystery. Players control a down-on-his-luck duck detective in a city where all the residents are animals. His latest case starts simply: figuring what what happened to a missing salami. Players solve puzzles in the form of phrasal templates where the correct words must be inserted in the detective's notebook. Players can guess words, but investigating the scene and talking to non-player characters gives them clues.[2] The game reveals how many of the chosen words are correct. Though the ultimate solution to the mystery is always the same in every game, players can make choices about how to proceed. After completing the mystery, players can see what percentage of people made each choice.[3] Duck Detective received positive reviews on Metacritic.[6] Polygon praised its charm and humor, which they said made backtracking to find more clues fun. Given that it only takes a few hours to complete, they hoped Happy Broccoli would add more episodes.[2] Digitally Downloaded enjoyed the parody of hardboiled detective fiction, which was a good hardboiled story itself.[3] PCGamesN called it "funny, entertaining, and satisfying" that is a good value despite its short length.[7] Hardcore Gamer recommended it to gamers who enjoy indie games and crime mysteries, who they felt would not be disappointed by the short length.[8] Nintendo World Report praised the writing and art, though they said they wanted to more cases to solve.[9] Duck Detective: The Secret Salami - Wikipedia

The large-scale studies of voters now include phone calls to early and mail voters as well as interviews outside polling places on Election Day. On Election Day, as votes are being tallied and news organizations await results and race projections that can be reported, exit polls are a critical tool providing an early look at who is voting and what’s motivating their choices. An exit poll is a survey of voters taken as they leave (or exit) their voting location. It’s the only national survey of known voters in the country. It allows news organizations, researchers and voters to understand what’s happening in an election as the results flow in. Here’s how exit polling works, where they are conducted and how NBC News will be using the exit poll results on election night and the days after. Who conducts the exit poll? Since 2003, Edison Research, a firm that specializes in collecting election data, has conducted exit polls on behalf of the National Election Pool. The NEP is a consortium of media networks — ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC News — that pools together resources for one collective vote count and exit poll operation. NBC News independently analyzes and reports on the exit poll results. How do exit polls work? Understanding the system for gathering voter data

It's the episode of Edmunds U-Drags you've all been asking for: Lucid Air Sapphire vs. Tesla Model S Plaid — but with one important twist. The Model S Plaid is fitted with Tesla's $20,000 Track package, which includes carbon-ceramic brakes, aluminum-forged 20-inch wheels, Goodyear Supercar 3R tires and updated firmware, allowing Tesla's midsize sedan to break the 200-mph barrier. Combined with the Plaid's already potent 1,020-horsepower drivetrain, not many EVs can match this Tesla's performance. But that's where the Lucid Air Sapphire comes in. The Sapphire impresses with its 1,234-hp powertrain and claimed 1.9-second 0-60 mph time, but even beyond those specs, this is arguably the single best-handling electric vehicle many of us have ever driven. This battle of electric brawn is certainly one for the ages, and there's only one way to find out which EV wins. Check out the absolutely epic U-Drags video below.

Dressage (/ˈdrɛsɑːʒ/ or /drɪˈsɑːʒ/; French: [dʁɛsaʒ], most commonly translated as "training") is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an art sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery. As an equestrian sport defined by the International Equestrian Federation, dressage is described as "the highest expression of horse training" where "horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements".[1] Competitions are held at all levels from amateur to the Olympic Games and World Equestrian Games. Its fundamental purpose is to develop, through standardized progressive training methods, a horse's natural athletic ability and willingness to perform, thereby maximizing its potential as a riding horse. At the peak of a dressage horse's gymnastic development, the horse responds smoothly to a skilled rider's minimal aids. The rider is relaxed and appears effort-free while the horse willingly performs the requested movement. The discipline has a rich history with ancient roots in the writings of Xenophon. Modern dressage has evolved as an important equestrian pursuit since the Renaissance when Federico Grisone's "The Rules of Riding" was published in 1550, one of the first notable European treatises on equitation since Xenophon's On Horsemanship.[2] Much about training systems used today reflects practices of classical dressage. In modern dressage competition, successful training at the various levels is demonstrated through the performance of "tests", prescribed series of movements ridden within a standard arena. Judges evaluate each movement on the basis of a standard appropriate to the level of the test and assign each movement a score from zero to ten – zero being "not executed" and 10 being "excellent". A competitor achieving all 6s (or 60% overall) might typically then move up to the next level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressage

Muntjacs (/mʌntdʒæk/ MUNT-jak),[1] also known as the barking deer[2] or rib-faced deer,[2] are small deer of the genus Muntiacus native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. Muntjacs are thought to have begun appearing 15–35 million years ago, with remains found in Miocene deposits in France, Germany[3] and Poland.[4] Most are listed as least-concern species or Data Deficient by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), although others such as the black muntjac, Bornean yellow muntjac, and giant muntjac are vulnerable, near threatened, and critically endangered, respectively.[5][6] The present name is a borrowing of the Latinized form of the Dutch muntjak, which was borrowed from the Sundanese mencek (/məntʃək/). The Latin form first appeared as Cervus muntjac in Zimmerman in 1780.[7][8] An erroneous alternative name of Mastreani deer has its origins in a mischievous Wikipedia entry from 2011 and is incorrect.[9] The present-day species are native to Asia and can be found in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, the Indonesian islands, Taiwan and Southern China. Their habitat includes areas of dense vegetation, rainforests, monsoon forests and they like to be close to a water source.[10] They are also found in the lower Himalayas (Terai regions of Nepal and Bhutan). An invasive po[CENSORED]tion of Reeves's muntjac exists in the United Kingdom and in some areas of Japan.[11] In the United Kingdom, wild muntjac descended from escapees from the Woburn Abbey estate around 1925.[12] Muntjac have expanded rapidly, and are present in most English counties and also in Wales, although they are less common in the north-west. The British Deer Society in 2007 found that muntjac deer had noticeably expanded their range in the UK since 2000.[13] Specimens appeared in Northern Ireland in 2009, and in the Republic of Ireland in 2010. Inhabiting tropical regions, the deer have no seasonal rut, and mating can take place at any time of year; this behaviour is retained by po[CENSORED]tions introduced to temperate countries.

There are certain things that, as a society, we have just learned to accept as "normal," whether we agree with them or not. This Reddit thread shared those things and how people feel about them. Here is what some people shared: 1. "I disagree with everyone being expected to be 'on call' just because we have a cellphone. It's nice to be able to talk to someone whenever you want, but some people treat it like an electronic leash. I have turned my phone on silent for a couple of years because I don't like that it pulls my attention away from the present moment, and some people take it the wrong way." A man looks at his phone in a living room, holding his glasses. The room has a sofa, bookshelves, and decorative items in the background 2. "Thinking you can always find a better partner so that even after years of a happy relationship, you leave because it gets mundane." 3. "Family vlogs. Kids have no say in these things. There are weird and dangerous people out there." 4. "The romanticization of hustle culture and grinding 24/7. It's like taking a break or valuing leisure time is sacrilege. The societal pressure to be constantly productive and the guilt that comes with 'wasting time' is deteriorating our mental health. Life's not just about climbing ladders; sometimes, you must sit back and admire the view, too." 5. "The whole ‘ghosting’ trend — since when did vanishing like a magician’s trick become the go-to for breaking up? At this rate, we should all start working on our best ‘now you see me, now you don’t’ routine! I would always prefer being straight up if I'm not interested rather than leaving them wondering." 6. "Everything being a subscription service." A person points a remote control at a television with a streaming service menu on the screen in a living room Simpleimages / Getty Images 7. "Sex/hookup culture, including open relationships, excessive porn consumption and justification of replacing intimacy in relationship with it, treating sex work as a regular job." 8. "Smart phones. The effects are profound." 9. "Children using beauty products should be condemned. My 11-year-old cousin uses every makeup product out there. She literally has five drawers full of stuff just to do her makeup. My aunt always complains that she sits in her room all day doing her makeup. I have nothing against children exploring those things, but that’s excessive. Sadly, my aunt and uncle don’t use their authority to stop/teach her. And it’s not just her, but her classmates, too. I don’t think that many beauty products benefit children." A young girl is applying lipstick while looking into a handheld mirror. She has curly hair and is smiling Prostock-studio / Getty Images 10. "Buying bottled water. Come on, people. It's easy to bring your own and refill it. Water is so overpriced now, and endless plastic bottles are bad for the environment. Also, littering. Just put your stuff in the bin, not on the street. It's not hard." 11. "Kids are being given phones/tablets to keep them occupied every time they go out. It would be nice if parents helped their kids learn to have patience and manners and behave appropriately in public. How else are they going to learn if you never even try?" Person’s hands using a tablet, which is placed on a table. The person is wearing a striped shirt Christopher Hopefitch / Getty Images 12. "The idea that you need 15 different streams of income to achieve financial freedom. It's somewhat a reality nowadays but I really think that's messed up." 13. "Being surprised that someone in their 20s or 30s is married. Telling young people they can buy a house if they 'adjust their budget.'" 14. "Cell phone conversations. Turn the external speaker off, put the phone to your ear, and stop yelling. Not everyone wants to listen to your conversation." Woman talking on speakerphone on the bus Skynesher / Getty Images 15. "Having children with people that you're not married to. A child is more of a commitment than a marriage license." https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/people-sharing-things-2024-normalize-231602851.html

We may have entered the final month of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, but the tropics are showing no signs of cooling down after the National Hurricane Center (NHC) designated an area of disturbed weather in the Caribbean Sea as Potential Tropical Cyclone Eighteen. A potential tropical cyclone (PTC) designation allows the NHC and other governments to issue Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings when a disturbance isn't quite at tropical storm strength but is expected to get there soon, with storm impacts occurring within 36 hours. In this case, forecasters believe the tropical disturbance could eventually develop into Hurricane Rafael in the coming days. "The environmental conditions appear conducive for strengthening during the next few days, and it seems likely that the system will become a tropical storm before it reaches Jamaica and a hurricane before it reaches Cuba," the NHC said.
