Nintendo announces new Direct presentation for Thursday
The Direct, labeled as a Partner Showcase, will live stream on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels Thursday starting at 9 a.m. EDT.
The Partner Showcase title means Nintendo will be highlighting games from third-party publishing partners, as opposed to games made and published by Nintendo.
The Direct will run about 25 minutes.
Upcoming third-party games that could potentially make an appearance include titles such as the eagerly anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, developer FromSoftware's The Duskbloods and a Switch 2 version of the highly-acclaimed Elden Ring titled Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition.
Nintendo launched the Switch 2 console in June alongside Mario Kart World. Nintendo then released the critically-acclaimed Donkey Kong Bananza for the new console in July.

Photo courtesy of Peacock Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Chris Meloni is returning to Law & Order: SVU for a guest stint in Season 27. "Hangin with friends on a Friday nite @therealmariskahargitay @dannflorek," Meloni captioned Instagram photos of him with SVU veterans Hargitay and Florek this weekend. Meloni played New York Police Department Detective Elliot Stabler on SVU from 1999 to 2012, and has guest starred on the procedural several times since 2021. He also plays the character on his own series, Law & Order: Organized Crime, which recently wrapped its fourth season. Deadline said Kelli Giddish is returning to play Amanda Rollins full-time on SVU. Giddish was a series regular from 2011 to 2023, then guest starred on the show for the past two years.

Comedian Matt Rife says he bought 'Conjuring' house, occult museum
1 of 4 | Matt Rife says he bought the house and occult museum that belonged to the late paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Comedian Matt Rife has announced he bought the Connecticut house and occult museum that belonged to the late Ed and Lorraine Warren, whose paranormal adventures are featured in the Conjuring, Annabelle and Nun horror movies. "I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!!" Rife posted on Instagram, along with a photo of him and Castee posing with the supposedly demonic doll and other photos of the Warrens at home. "If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history. Ed and Lorain Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror, et..." Rife said he and Castee plan to open the house for overnight stays and the museum for tours some time in the near future. The Conjuring Universe began in 2013 with The Conjuring and was followed by numerous sequels and spin-offs featuring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring: Last Rites is set for theatrical release on Sept. 5. Ed died in 2006 and Lorraine died in 2019. The Hollywood Reporter said the house had been open to the public until Lorraine's death, but closed afterwards due to zoning issues.

In-Depth Dodge Dakota Aero Analysis Shows the Old Truck Is Actually Pretty Slick
The latest car news, reviews, and features. I've never once thought about how aerodynamic the second-gen Dodge Dakota may or may not be. Of course, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to stuff like that; the closest I've been to a wind tunnel was when the AC went out at my high school and they stuck fans at the end of the hallways. But fortunately, there are some smart cookies at Premier Aerodynamics who specialize in this practical type of airflow analysis. A customer recently asked them to simulate their Dakota, and as you're about to see, the truck's designers actually got a lot right considering it's just an old mule. Premier Aerodynamics runs these simulations in a program called OpenFOAM. It's open-source computational fluid dynamics software, or CFD for short. They've tested some interesting concepts, from a car with rows of spoilers on the roof to every kind of helicopter blade and aircraft wing design you can think of. Personally, I'm a little too simple for most of that, so the Dakota appeals to me just fine. Premier Aerodynamics via YouTube Replicating a 65-mph air environment, the aero wiz host shows the Dodge pickup from multiple angles, changing heights while also tweaking the display to show flow as well as low- and high-pressure zones. He points out that because the second-gen Dakota's front is so rounded, it's actually on-par with a lot of cars. It's even better than some supercars at allowing air to pass up and over the hood, while even creating some downforce below the bumper. 'Look at how much low pressure there is,' the host insists. 'We've said it time and time again: A rounder underneath is better for drag, and it can also produce good downforce. Dodge accidentally proved it here.' Premier Aerodynamics via YouTube He draws special attention to the truck's flat roof. It allows for a fairly consistent flow speed, which results in less energy lost, but what's more important is how it directs the air as it heads toward the bed. This is where it gets more technical, but he does a great job of explaining how the air can take one of three paths after rolling off the rear of the cab: far past the tailgate and into the wake, just short of the tailgate where a high-pressure zone forms inside the bed, and just over the top of the tailgate. The latter is the preferred option, but also the least likely in the Dakota's stock form. Any way you can keep the air from landing just shy of the tailgate is for the better. By forming a high-pressure area, it creates a considerable amount of energy that is pushing against the rear of the truck, which is the opposite of what you want. He mentions that you could find a way to flare the roof at the rear of the cab, sending more air slightly up so as to avoid crashing into the rearmost part of the bed. 'By playing with that flare angle, you can dramatically reduce the drag of a truck,' he explains. I won't waste either of our time by rehashing everything he says, because it's better illustrated in the video where the views aren't static. One relevant note is that he recommends a tonneau cover for aerodynamic efficiency, adding that it really only needs to cover the back half of the bed to net a noticeable benefit. As arguably goofy as they look, those fastback truck bed covers are some of the best in terms of drag coefficient. You should definitely check out the rest of the video if you want to learn how the air interacts with different design elements on the truck, whether that be the wheels that sit mostly flush with the front fenders and bedsides or the trailer hitch underneath the back. He gives some handy tips, not only on how to improve the Dakota's aero performance but also on how you can avoid making it worse with different mods. Most conventional truck 'upgrades' tend to make them less efficient, but you know, there are some diehard hypermilers out there. The Dakota's 0.44 drag coefficient lands dead-even with a Porsche 911 GT3 RS going roughly 180 miles per hour with a window down, but slightly ahead of—as in, better than—a Lamborghini Countach and Jaguar D-Type. That's crazy to me, but then again, I'm in unfamiliar territory with all this. I have a feeling we both have a lot to learn from this channel. Got a tip or question for the author?
