The recent PalWorld Update shows that PocketPal removed their Pal Spheres mechanics which mimicked Nintendo's PokeBalls, a central figure in Nintendo's lawsuit. However, players have voiced strong outrage as they vent their anger at Nintendo over the forced changes. It is obvious to most that the destruction of the top Muclear Weapons Enrichment facilities hit this week's News of the World. Before US President Trump ordered the attack upon Iran's Nuclear Enrichment targets, Israel and Iran continued to trade attacks; Israel attacking military targets and its top brass whilst Iran launched ballistic missiles at hospitals and civiliarn targets. Even the German Chancellor and Former President Obama's Defense Secretary called the strikes necessary and warranted. But while some democrats call for his impeachment over the act, do remember that Obama dropped 26,171 bombs across seven countries: Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakista, all without congressional approval. In the Pacific, Chinese naval aggression is on the rise, trailing Japanese and Filipino warships only for Chinese vessels on video caught swarming around the Philippines. To counter Chinese aggression, Taiwan has added Submarines to its navy. And as Chine continues to assert claims that it owns the entire South China Sea region, the Communist State railed against The Philippines for hosting US missiles for defense purposes. As Ukraine destroys another Russian Convoy, new reports show that Russia is on the brink of recession. As to how bad it is getting, a Russian soldier actually killed and ate a fellow comrade. The Accused Minnesota assassin's rambling letter claiming Gov. Tim Walz gave him greenlight for murders, Tren de Aragua gang members once more on video terorizing apartments in Aurora Colorado again, The Irish Rapgroup Kneecap in court for terrorism charges for displaying the Hezbollah flag, The Louvre closed as staff members went on strike, Egyptian authorities and citizenry fed up and shut down a pro-Gaza march, bumbling would-be arsonists in Australia accidentally sets themselves on fire, the stunning financial portfolio of Nancy Pelosi, the eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki, Russia suggesting sales of weapons-grade nuclear material to Iran, and so much more hit this week's news.

There is a lot of talk about Artificial Intelligence in this week's News of the Cyber World, with Elon Musk raising capital for his xAI whist Sam Altman lands a $200Million deal with the US Military. But one may wonder about how safe it is, for even a Newsweek article suggested an AI system would actually kill humans to keep itself running. The dangers of cell phones also hit the cybernews, but in different levels. The popular Galaxy Note7 is now under a longstanding ban from planes due to their lithium batteries overheating and exploding. Meanwhile, a new warning was sent out to iPhone users that scammers are sending malicious texts designed to replicate their states DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles. Apple losign Billions of Shareholder dollars, Iran's crypto-currency exchange hacked and robbed of $100 Million, billions of passwords leaked in a Google/Apple data breach, Elon Musk's drug report and more hit this week's cybernews. It appears that Chinese Hackers care not whom they attack as state sponsored hackers attacked Russian companies and agencies, working to steal any secrets such as nuclear submarine specs and infiltrate their communication and satellite systems. And of communications, Chinese backed hackers believed to be Salt Typhoon worked to compromise Canadian cybersecurity and telecom providers. Games Development Development Discussion

An apparent one-shot by kyonides was entitled Sore Winner Cheerful Loser, and its prose relays the turmoil an incumbant Prime Minister suffered after losing an election. Much of the tale referenes the past two US Presidential elections. But watch out for the twist on whom the former Prime Minister is and his legacy by blood. Well, that's it for this week. “My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.” - J. P. Getty PROSPECTIVE GAZETEERS!
