Gaming culture is vast and multifaceted, stretching beyond the realm of digital play itself and into areas like online streaming, fast food merchandise and, of course, ill-advised celebrity clothing lines. This week’s news was something of a sampler platter. Sure, we covered big gaming announcements like everything Nintendo had to share about Mario on his big day (March 10, or Mar10 Day) and some revelations about Stardew Valley that left fans feeling vindicated. However, you’ll also find a wild Happy Meal crossover, a former Power Rangers actor with a terrible idea, and Sydney Sweeney’s boobs being used for evil. Read on!

McDonald’s latest attempt at getting kids (and weebs) excited about eating at the fast-food chain involves mixing Hello Kitty characters with Yu-Gi-Oh creatures to create new Happy Meal toys as part of a limited-time collaboration. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Besties don’t snitch on each other, but I guess controversial Kick streamer Adin Ross didn’t get that memo. According to a recent Rolling Stone report, the 20-something content creator accidentally ratted out his homie Andrew Tate during a livestream sometime last week, which apparently landed the self-professed internet misogynist back behind Romanian prison bars following a U.K. arrest warrant. – Levi Winslow Read More

Over the weekend Nintendo celebrated its annual Mario Day celebration on March 10. That celebration included a cornucopia of sales on Switch games and accessories—some of which you can still take advantage of by checking out our sales guide— and a few surprise announcements from Nintendo itself in honor of the beloved plumber. – Willa Rowe Read More

Actor Austin St. John, who famously played the original Red Ranger in the ‘90s TV series Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, has announced his plans to launch a new clothing line featuring quotes from historical figures, including “villains” like, uh…Adolf Hitler. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Some Stardew Valley fans are feeling vindicated today after the game’s creator, Eric Barone, confirmed on Twitter that harvesting crops from left to right was faster than harvesting from right to left. Apparently, this bug will finally be fixed after being in the game since its launch in 2016. – Zack Zwiezen Read More
According to a new report, a lot of people are trying to find images of Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney’s bare breasts on X, formerly Twitter, and a load of hackers, trolls, and other nefarious players are taking advantage of this horny search and filling the social media site with malware links. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Sony might’ve yanked the Stellar Blade demo from the PlayStation store after hitting the Big Red Button a little too early, but folks still managed to get some hands-on time with developer Shift Up’s stylish character action game. As a result, some new details have come to light about the PS5 exclusive, and in particular, many players are now obsessed with one of the sexiest outfits protagonist Eve can wear. But beware, equipping this (damn near) bare ensemble also makes the game much harder. – Levi Winslow Read More

Stardew Valley’s fast-approaching 1.6 update is introducing new game content such as a new festival and dialogue, and it’s bringing some quality-of-life changes with it too. Stardew’s developer Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has been coy with plenty of the patch’s finer details so far, but did recently let one detail slip that is proving to be a much bigger deal than it seems on its surface. And folks are seemingly ecstatic about the change. – Moises Taveras Read More
