In the process of deploying savings, intent should always be to preserve capital and generate income. Financial markets have witnessed massive participation from retail and individual investors across jurisdictions, and this is only expected to…

We have our first hit video game of 2024, and it’s a shocker. The eccentric Palworld, an early access game available now on PC and Xbox Game Pass, is smashing Steam records as developer Pocketpair sells millions of copies. That’s thanks in large part thanks to its bizarre elevator pitch, which is succinctly described as “Pokémon with guns.” That success has come with some heated debates. Palworld earned a lot of criticism in its inaugural weekend as players discovered monster designs that looked nearly identical to some of those in Pokémon. Accusations of plagiarism ballooned into suspicions over AI usage that…

The baseline prices of Dubai’s uber-luxury properties have doubled since the Covid-19 pandemic. But the property rates in the emirate are still lower than some of the most popular cities in the world, said the CEO of Omniyat. “Uber luxury properties’ base prices have easily doubled over the last 3 years. Even though prices have more than doubled per square foot, Dubai is still cheaper by one-fifth of London, one-third of New York and one-fourth of Singapore’s price. This means we still have a magnificent scope to grow,” Mahdi Amjad told Khaleej Times in an interview on Monday. Stay up…
Love was in the cold Buffalo air with Taylor Swift cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.
