If you're familiar with the arcade scene, you're more than likely aware of Billy Mitchell. Having held multiple world records for Donkey Kong and Pac-Man arcade machines, video game database Twin Galaxies accused Mitchell of setting his scores on modified hardware.

Some of the listed items are already available since Phase 1, but will still be valuable in Phase 2 (like Free Action Potion since it's always useful, and Elixir of Ogre's Strength as there is no stronger Strength Elixir available at 225 skill level).

Apple has finally revealed the date for the date on which the Apple Vision Pro sale will start. It has also indicated that the pre-order starts this Friday.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was the buzzword of 2023, with rapid developments taking place throughout the year. From AI chatbots to AI tools that can be used for various purposes including image generation, code interpretation, multi-modal search, and more, the incorporation of AI has been expeditious.
