Final Fantasy 14‘s Solo Only is one of my favourite challenge runs ticking over on YouTube right now—mostly because of how utterly improbable it is.

It’s a problem worth updating your device over when updates are available, but for now, just stay vigilant of who is near your rig. The highest severity…
Its purpose is supposedly “pure investment”. The Saudi investment firm Misk Foundation, using its Electronic Gaming Development Company (EGDC) branch, has acquired a significant number of shares in Capcom, according to GameBiz (thanks, Automaton).
