World of Warcraft will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in November next year, and just in case you were wondering, Blizzard Entertainment plans to keep the massively successful MMORPG around for plenty more time.
Breaking: Do NOT try to eat the Wonka float at the 97th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
18.10.2023 - 22:07 / polygon.com / Willy Wonka
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of our funniest holiday traditions, a kitschy paean to commercialism that is the only place I can think of where you can find Goku, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Jolly Green Giant all in the same place, cheerily introduced by Al Roker. Part of the fun is in seeing who made the cut, and who, sadly, did not. (Someday, Vegeta…)
One of this year’s additions will be a float inspired by the forthcoming film Wonka, starring Paul Atreides Timothée Chalamet. The “Deliciously Delectable World of Wonka” float will feature “delicately detailed and delectable confections adorning the shop’s counters that line the way to a majestic cherry tree,” with illuminated candy jars that “contain approximately 592,000 pieces of prop candy.”
Prop candy is an interesting phrase, and can be taken one of two ways. The first, less preferable way, is “prop” as in “fake,” meaning candy-shaped and -colored objects only suitable for looking. However, it’s also possible that “prop candy” in this context means “real, edible candy being used as a prop,” which would both rule and be lore-accurate to Willy Wonka’s oeuvre.
Since I would not sleep a wink between today and Thanksgiving unless I knew the answer, I reached out to representatives of the joint interests of Warner Bros. and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, with one question: Is the prop candy edible?
Friends, I have terrible news: Per a PR rep, it is not, “but the cart on the side will have edible treats for the public.”
Reader beware: If you see the Wonka float anytime between now and Thanksgiving (or afterward, I don’t know what they do with these when the parade is over) do not eat it.

Samsung to Use Titanium For Galaxy S24 Ultra, But Weight Reduction Would Not Match Apple’s Implementation of The Finish

While the general design remains more or less the same, the new finish remains the highlight for this year. However, the iPhone 15 Pro will not be the only device rocking a titanium finish. According to a new report, Samsung is preparing to use the same titanium finish on its Galaxy S24 Ultra next year.

Revenue opportunities for game developers in the wake of the European Union’s Digital Markets Act

Its aim, of course, is to regulate major online platforms and gatekeepers, and the goal is to establish fair competition, consumer protection and data privacy. It’s pretty certain that the online global gaming industry, in which developers and game studios are profoundly affected by platform dynamics, will feel the brunt of the changes wrought by the DMA.
