Damn, one of those few times where I would have willingly tuned in to soccer (see also: vuvuzelas, Zidane, Brazil getting FUCKED)

As Portugal and France snoozed their way through the final match yesterday at Euro 2016, thousands of Silver Y moths crashed the party—including one that fluttered onto Ronaldo’s anguished face as he sat injured on the pitch. They’re calling it the moth ball final. So what brought all these moths to the Stade de France?

Pokemon Go is Already Bigger Than Tinder

by Angela Chen on Gizmodo, shared by Brian Ashcraft to Kotaku
Dsider

And I can guarantee that I've had more fulfillment out of this app than I ever would be able to on tinder.

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, only safety and physiological comfort are more important than love in our search for self-fulfillment. Maslow was wrong. A stronger driving force than love, apparently, is the need to catch ‘em all, seeing how Pokemon Go has already been installed more times after a week than Tinder in five years.

Berserk's Heroine Just Got A Lot Whiter For Some Reason

by Cecilia D'Anastasio
Dsider

Well I guess I don't need to bother with that second ep even out of curiosity now. God, this adaption should just kill itself.

In Berserk’s manga, TV series and full-length movies, the sword-wielding heroine Casca has traditionally been depicted with dark skin and short, black hair. Today, in Berserk’s second episode of the anime’s new rendition, she appeared extraordinarily pale. It’s gone over about as well as you’d expect.
