Retro Rewind Recreates the 90s Video-Store Grind in a Soothing, Simple Sim

An indie game from Blood Pact Studios drops you into a 1990s VHS rental shop, where you manage two main tasks—cashiering and restocking—while unlocking staff and cosmetic upgrades. The depth is light: you can’t set prices, late fees, or advertising budgets, and profits largely run on autopilot. The result is a soothing, nostalgia-driven experience that charms fans of the era more through ambience than strategic business decisions.

Masters 2026 Sunday: Projection model predicts a dramatic leaderboard and longshots

SportsLine’s projection model simulated the Masters final round 10,000 times and forecasts a dramatic Sunday: Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young share the 11-under lead, with Sam Burns at 10 under and Shane Lowry at 9 under after Day 3. The latest odds have McIlroy at +135, Young +240, Burns +700, and Scheffler +1000. The model flags surprises—Justin Rose fading from the top five and Patrick Reed climbing into contention—plus a big longshot surge. For the full picks and leaderboard projections, join SportsLine.

Light-Speed Earth Tour in 0.13 Seconds: A Mind-Blowing Visualization

A YouTube video by Airplane Mode simulates circling the Earth at light speed (186,000 miles per second), completing the trip in about 0.13 seconds (eight frames) and comparing it to the speed of sound, noting that no aircraft can reach such speeds and that hypersonic travel remains far slower but is the closest real-world visualization.

Could Our Cosmos Be a Giant Computer Simulation?

Could Our Cosmos Be a Giant Computer Simulation?

The article surveys the simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be a highly realistic computer simulation—by tracing Nick Bostrom’s argument that advanced beings could run trillions of simulations. It notes that, while the logic remains compelling for some (and figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson have called the odds roughly 50-50), there is no empirical proof, and critics argue that computing such vast simulations may be infeasible or that apparent glitches don’t prove we’re in a simulation. The discussion also connects physics and cosmology to the idea, including limits like the finite observable horizon and the idea of reality as potentially ‘pixelated’ at small scales."}{
