Force feedback comes to the... Super Nintendo?
Working with Randal Linden, who helped bring Doom to the SNES in 1995, Limited Run Games has announced a new version of the game featuring improved graphics and additional levels. Two versions will be available for preorder on July 11th for $99.99 and $174.99 and will ship early next year.
LRG has also created a $34.99 wired SNES controller upgraded with a pair of rumble motors that vibrate in response to what's happening in the updated game. 1/3 LRG's SNES Rumble Controller will only work with Doom, but the company says it will work with other developers who want to add rumble support to their own retro games.

Why leaders who collaborate and form communities grow faster
I used to believe that growth was a solo sprint. If I worked hard enough, fast enough, and long enough, I'd get there. However, what I've learned as a speaker, writer, and entrepreneur is that growth is actually shaped and strengthened by the people you work alongside. We often talk about scaling through capital or technology, but sometimes the most powerful accelerator is connection. When I started actively seeking out peer networks—rooms filled with smart, driven people outside my own lane—my strategy changed. My ideas got sharper. My knowledge gaps became visible. My work, especially as a storyteller, felt less like shouting into the void and more like a conversation with people who saw things I didn't. In this article, I'll share what I've learned about peer networks and why every founder, creator, or changemaker should build one with intention. When you're surrounded by people who approach problems from completely different angles, it forces you to reconsider your assumptions and sharpen your ideas. Some of my most significant turning points came from small moments, like a friend in retail helping me rethink user onboarding or a healthcare founder offering a new take on accessibility in digital content. That's the value of range. It doesn't matter if someone is in logistics or live entertainment; when they think differently, they help you do better work. Research backs this up. An MIT study introduced the concept of x-teams, which are agile groups that regularly engage with people who don't share their core function. By engaging with peers outside their domain, these teams became more innovative and adaptable. This drives creativity and outcomes that are more practical and ready for implementation. COLLABORATION BREEDS ACCOUNTABILITY Ideas are one thing; action is another. The biggest hurdle I've seen, especially for solo founders or consultants, isn't a lack of ideas. It's a lack of follow-through. That's why peer accountability can be a powerful motivator. When you share your goals with a group of driven people, you don't just make promises to yourself. You make them to a room full of people watching, cheering, and pushing you to move. Having an accountability partner comes with powerful psychological benefits. It helps individuals stay consistent, motivated, and committed to their goals. This mutual support system creates a sense of responsibility not just to oneself but to someone else, increasing the likelihood of follow-through even during challenging periods. I've seen this play out in mastermind groups where someone will say, 'Did you ever launch that landing page?' or 'You said you were going to pitch that publication. Did you?' These aren't just nudges; they're catalysts. When your peers believe in your potential, it gets harder to hide from it. FEEDBACK LOOPS DRIVE INNOVATION We love to glorify the gut instinct, but even the sharpest instinct benefits from feedback. One of the most overlooked parts of peer networks is the role they play in real-time iteration. I've tested pitches, headlines, and even business models in small rooms before putting them out publicly. Each time, I walked away with sharper, more innovative work. That's because feedback in a safe, intelligent environment helps you fail faster and grow quicker. According to Harvard Business Review, consistent feedback is strongly linked to higher job satisfaction. Constructive feedback, in particular, plays a crucial role by offering clear direction for growth and helping identify areas for improvement. The same principle applies to peer communities, mastermind groups, or even casual founder circles. The best ideas are rarely born in isolation. They're pressure-tested by people who ask, 'Have you thought about it this way?' or 'What if you did less, but better?' Those are the questions that move a good strategy toward greatness. COLLABORATION OUTLIVES THE PROGRAM Some of the most valuable connections I've made didn't come from networking events. They came from programs where people built something together. That's why structured peer groups, like accelerators or leadership collectives, are so powerful. I recently met with Dr. Carmen Bell-Ross, a leadership strategist and founder of SP Grace. When she joined the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, her goal was to strengthen her company's growth strategy. What she left with was far more than a new business plan. In working alongside 29 other founders from vastly different industries, she found a network that became a sounding board, a challenge circle, and, in many ways, a co-pilot team. Their feedback helped her refine her service offering, The College Smarter Method, before launch. It wasn't just the curriculum that shaped her next move. It was the people. She's not alone. A Babson College impact study on the Goldman Sachs program found that 66% of alumni increased revenues within six months of completing the program, and 46% created new jobs. This tells us something important. Business success doesn't live in a vacuum. It's shaped in a community. A FINAL THOUGHT: BUILD YOUR TABLE If there's one lesson I keep returning to, it's this: Build your table before you need it. The peer network that accelerates your next move won't materialize overnight. It takes intentionality—one conversation, one collaboration, and one shared Google Doc at a time. Reach out to people in different sectors. Offer value before you ask for it. Show up consistently, and when you find your people—the ones who challenge you, support you, and help you refine your thinking—invest in those relationships. While tools and tactics change, the human connections that drive business remain.

New Trailer For IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Teases The History of Pennywise's Terror — GeekTyrant
HBO Max just dropped a chilling new trailer for IT: Welcome to Derry , and horror fans got their first look at the upcoming series during a late-night panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The show promises to take us deeper into Stephen King's terrifying world, exploring the dark history behind Pennywise and the cursed town of Derry. The teaser sets an unsettling tone as it opens with a sense of unease spreading through the quiet streets of Derry as children begin disappearing. At the center of this nightmare is a young woman, played by Taylor Paige, who moves to town with her husband just as things start to spiral. While Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise only makes a brief appearance at the end, his sinister presence looms throughout the trailer. Set in the universe of King's iconic novel, Welcome to Derry expands on the vision introduced by Andy Muschietti in the feature films. Muschietti, who is executive producing the series alongside Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, says the show will dive deep into the roots of Derry's nightmares: 'There's a reason why the story is told backwards.' The first season is set in 1962, a few years before the events of IT: Chapter One . Future seasons will travel even further into the past, with Season 2 exploring 1935 and Season 3 going all the way back to 1908. The series draws inspiration from the interludes in King's original novel, which detail Mike Hanlon's research into Derry's horrific past. Muschietti explains: 'The interludes are basically chapters that reflect Mike Hanlon's research… fragments of his research. For 27 years, it's the guy trying to figure out what it is, what did it, who did it, who saw it, and all that stuff.' Each season will explore one of Pennywise's 27-year cycles of terror and the catastrophic events that came with them. Muschietti teases: 'They talk about catastrophic events from the past, like the fire in the Black Spot… the massacre of the Bradley Gang, a gang of bank robbers in the '30s… and the explosion of the Kitchener Ironworks.' These tragedies will serve as the backbone of the show's narrative, promising a bloody and terrifying history lesson for fans of the franchise. Muschietti confirms: 'We are basing the three seasons of this series on each of these catastrophic events.' With excitement coming out of Comic-Con and Warner Bros. reportedly thrilled with the first season, there's already talk of fast-tracking Season 2. IT: Welcome to Derry is shaping up to be one of the most exciting horror series of the year, offering fans a chance to see the origins of Pennywise like never before. Get ready to return to the town where fear was born when the series premieres on HBO later this year. Here are some details on each of the tree stories: The Black Spot: The Black Spot is one of the most memorable stories and it is told by Mike Hanlon's father, Will Hanlon, a tale he kept hidden until his last days. In It 's second interlude, Mike visits his father in the hospital and listens to his dad recount a harrowing chapter from his youth. Years before, Will Hanlon and his fellow Air Force servicemen had created a nightclub called The Black Spot, a haven for Black patrons in a time of segregation and deep-seated racism. One night, the Maine Legion of White Decency, a violent supremacist group, burned the club to the ground, killing many innocent people. And while the Legion set the blaze, something far more sinister was lurking in the flames… It itself, taking the shape of a monstrous bird, snatching up its victims amid the fiery chaos. One of the people inside was a young Dick Halloran from The Shining , who worked in the club's kitchen. The Bradley Gang: The Bradley Gang was group of Depression-era outlaws who arrive in Derry in 1929 to hide out from the FBI. They are gunned down by members of the Derry community on Canal Street in the middle of the afternoon, while arriving at Machen's Sporting Goods store to pick up a shipment of ammunition. Mike Hanlon recalls seven members of the Bradley Gang, though Norbert Keene, who was alive during the ambush, recalls eight members. The gang consists of its leader, Al Bradley, and his brother, George. They rob six or seven banks in the Midwest and kidnap a banker for a ransom of thirty thousand dollars before deciding to kill the banker anyway. The other gang members are the brothers Joe and Cal Conklin, Arthur 'Creeping Jesus' Malloy, handsome Patrick Caudy, George's common-law wife, Kitty Donahue, and Caudy's on-and-off again girlfriend, Marie Hauser. The Explosion of the Kitchener Ironworks: The Kitchener Ironworks was an ironworks outside of Derry. In 1906, despite every machine in the works having been shut completely down, the Ironworks inexplicably exploded, killing a group of 88 children and 102 total people who were participating in an Easter egg hunt. The tragedy was caused by It sabotaging the equipment, presumed to be responsible for eight missing bodies. This marked the beginning of the creature's 27-year hibernation period.

Sony Drops Its Popular Noise-Canceling Headphones by Nearly 50% for Back-to-School Clearance
If you agree with us that over 60,000 Amazon reviewers can't be wrong, you'll also agree that this new deal taking 43% off the price of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Headphones is definitely one to take a look at. Those Amazon reviewers give these over-ear headphones an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, and over 10,000 of them have sold at Amazon in just the past month, mostly at prices above the current $200. Sony has come out with two iterations of the 1000MX series since the XM4s were released in 2020, and yet they keep selling like crazy. It's the combination of industry-best noise cancellation technology combined with stellar battery life, comfort, ease of use, and most definitely price — especially when it takes a big drop like this. See at Amazon If you have a favorite pair of wireless headphones or earbuds that follow you around all day, from desk to gym to couch, you know that the pairing/unpairing/pairing dance as you move from laptop to smartphone to gaming console can be a serious pain. The 1000XM4s don't require you to unpair from one device in order to add another. The multipoint Bluetooth connection allows you to instantly move from one device to another. Sony threw in a pile of cool features like that when they made the 1000XM4 wireless headphones. If you need to remove them, whatever you're listening to will automatically pause so you don't miss anything. The Touch Sensor controls put all of the 1000XM4 features a fingertip away, with pause/play/skip track, volume, voice assistant, and phone controls all on the same ear cup. There's also the Speak to Chat feature that will automatically take you out of Noise Cancellation mode as you listen to music when you start to speak — the music pauses and you go into transparency mode for your in-person conversation, with no button to push. In the end, the single biggest factor that has made the Sony 1000XM4s one of the world's best-selling wireless headphones for the past 5 years is simple — the sound quality and noise cancellation are really good. Sony's Dual Noise Sensor technology is among the very best on the market, adjusting on the fly in response to the background noise of your environment. It's easy to just disappear into your music, and when you do, it comes through with clear, beautiful detail. You may love the Sony 1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Headphones so much that you put their battery to the test, but unless you're able to stay awake for more than 30 hours, the 1000XM4s will win that contest every time. But you're definitely the winner when you grab a pair for just $200 while this 43% off deal is still live at Amazon. See at Amazon
