An anonymous 4chan hacker (shocker) posted a 125GB torrent link containing the “entirety of twitch.tv, with commit history going back to its early beginnings.”

CaPCom Capital P-C [Link]

A translated report from Japanese Nikkei is quoting Capcom’s COO as stating that he would like to make PC their main platform going forward.
The hope for them is to have at least 50% of their sales coming from PC related products by 2022 (or 2023). 2023 seems more likely with barely one quarter left this year.
Mentionable growing profits over recent years, and record setting sales along with simultaneous multi-platform releases, instead of console first, likely led to this strategy

Grand Theft Gameboy [Link]

A little bittersweet humor here.. Apparently, a gang of British car thieves have been busted after stealing a Mitsubishi Outlander. They used a device disguised as a Nintendo Game Boy, which is designed to bypass security alarms on modern cars.
The funny part? One of the thieves was flagged on CCTV and eventually busted while driving his own car! The car security bypass thingy was in the car with him, which was in a Supreme Game Boy case making it easily identifiable. Especially when the thief had video evidence on his own phone of the device in action, along with commentary.
3 thieves were caught in total.
