For nearly 26 years, Pokémon games have been predicated on a singular, combative formula: catch Pokémon, train them, fight them, collect badges, be the very best Pokémon trainer there ever was. You can do all that in Pokémon Legends Arceus, but it’s not really the focus. Instead, it asks you to reconsider how you…

Researchers have documented a remarkable behavior among wild chimpanzees: chimps applying insects to wounds on themselves or others, perhaps as a sort of first aid. Little is still known about the practice, but the researchers suspect it to be the latest example of altruistic behavior in nonhuman animals.

Even vintage gaming platforms aren’t immune to Wordle‘s cultural dominance, it seems. Kotakunotes security researcher Stacksmashing has ported the hit word game to the Game Boy. The 1989-era handheld’s ROM size prevented him from including the full word list, but he used a (somewhat inaccurate) filter to help the console determine if you’re using one of the 8,000 most common English words.
The port is free and available to download, although you’ll need to load it on a Game Boy-friendly cartridge if you intend to play on a console. And not everyone has one of Nintendo’s earlier handhelds sitting around. You may want to play Wordle on a modern machine like the Analogue Pocket, particularly if you aren’t keen on the first Game Boy’s lack of built-in display lighting.
This isn’t the first retro Wordle port, and it might not be the last. Huxley Dunsany recently ported the title to a Palm PDA, for instance. In that regard, this could be the new Doom — that is, the game adapted to run on seemingly every platform imaginable. Don’t be surprised if Wordle is seemingly ubiquitous before long, even if you’re unlikely to play it on ancient devices.
Want to give it a try? You can play it online here: https://t.co/V4FjDMtVgd (even works on mobile).

Before Disney+, the relationship between Marvel movies and Marvel shows was always a little weird. At first, shows like Agents of SHIELD or Jessica Jones would mention events in the movies. Sometimes they’d even base stories around them. But as the shows went on, those connections became less frequent, and when Marvel…
