Guillermo del Toro is asking for a slightly more forgiving Dead Cells, checkpoints and all, 'for the elderly players'
I drip-feed roguelikes into my gaming schedule: one too many total resets and my brain could break beyond repair. I always knew this wasn't an unusual approach but I didn't ever think it would be an opinion I'd share with one of my favourite filmmakers, Guillermo del Toro. But the world is a strange place.

Toyota's Limited-Run GRMN Corolla Costs Nearly as Much as the BMW M2 and Ford Mustang Dark Horse
- The 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla is the most extreme take yet on the hot hatchback, but the upgrades balloon the car's price to $65,655.
- The track-focused GR Corolla ditches the rear seat and adds more cooling vents, redesigned suspension, an adjustable rear wing, and a touch more torque.
- The model will officially be available later this summer, with Toyota limiting production of the GRMN Corolla to just 730 units globally.
The list of tremendously capable cars you could purchase with a budget of, say, $66,000 is numerous and varied. The Ford Mustang Dark Horse rings up at $66,075, the Acura Integra Type S at $55,195, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing (assuming you can find a new one) at $65,395, and the Audi S5 at $65,595. Step up your budget just a tad, and you can snag a BMW M2 for $69,550. Or, you could throw caution to the wind and buy the limited-production 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla, which the brand has announced will cost $65,655.
These Are Your Favorite Pontiacs - Jalopnik
Pontiac
Pontiac, it's not just the sad empty city where Woodward Ave ends. It was once a thriving community and, at one time, citizens of had the pride of seeing their city's name on the backs of some of the most fun affordable muscle-car adjacent vehicles the U.S. has ever produced. Were Pontiacs always powerful, beautiful, well engineered machines? Hell no. Did they generally look badass and regular people could actually afford them? Hell, yes. I still, to this day, see tons of Pontiac Grand Ams and G6s driving around Detroit. GM use to build crummy little cars that refuse to die, and I think we all miss them a lot.
Meta is still flinging the equivalent of a small country's annual GDP down the Reality Labs money pit each and every quarter
Meta's second quarter earnings are in, reporting revenue of $60.80 billion. That's another record-breaking year-on-year increase of about 28%, though shares are reportedly down by about 10%. Funny, that. Now, time to take a look at how the company's famous money-hole, its VR and AR division, Reality Labs, is doing while I take a big sip of my coffee…
Rice bran compound may help ease irritable bowel symptoms
A naturally occurring compound found in rice bran may influence how strongly the intestines contract, according to new research from Toho University.
The study, led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, found that ferulic acid (FA) can reduce intestinal smooth muscle contractions by blocking voltage-dependent calcium channels. The discovery could eventually support new dietary approaches for intestinal motility disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Eddie Howe: Does Newcastle manager's departure mark the beginning of the end of Saudi dream?
Howe ended Newcastle's 70-year wait for a domestic trophy when his side won the Carabao Cup last year.
But rumours about the 48-year-old's departure have been circulating since the beginning of this year, when Newcastle sat 13th in the Premier League and securing Champions League football for next season was already starting to look highly unlikely.
