‘NUTMEG!' Brings ‘Balatro'-Style Retro Football Manager To PC In 2026
Most football supporters of a certain age — those in their mid-30s and older — know the thrills of two things: collecting stickers, and losing years to football management games. NUTMEG!, landing on PC in 2026, promises a mixture of the two and elements of Balatro, so they can once again kiss goodbye to their free time. Developer Sumo Sheffield and publisher Secret Mode have pitched NUTMEG! as a card-based football management game that draws on the heady days of English league football from the 1980s and 1990s, long before the Premier League was even a thing — when you could park your car on the touchline, have a cigarette or five during the game, and don a replica of some of the most questionable kits in history. Who doesn't want WANG on their bright yellow shirt? NUTMEG! puts players in charge of a Fourth Division team, and you need to guide them through two decades of competition as you play for promotion to the top level, while securing legendary players before anyone realizes just how good they are. Success is a balancing act: management duties unsurprisingly include transfers, training, ticket pricing, and PR, but the meat on NUTMEG!'s bones is with its deck-building mechanics. Cards are earned through training and deployed in fast-paced, strategic battles at key moments on the pitch. Along the way, NUTMEG! promises to keep things exciting in the longer term, unlocking new teams, tactics, and abilities along the way. All the while, both die-hard football fans and newcomers alike will get the chance to relive the game's most iconic eras through classic kits. Who doesn't want PLEASURE ISLAND on their fever dream shirt? NUTMEG! also proudly follows in the footsteps of classic International Superstar Soccer games with its evident lack of licensing. All teams that aren't straightforward place names (e.g. Newcastle, Oxford) are a little more creative, meaning that Arsenal become Artillery, Nottingham Forest are Sherwood FC, Tottenham Hotspur transform into North London, and Everton are Mersey Blues. If anything, it gives it even more retro charm. This sideways glance at the soccer management sim may not arrive until next year, but fear not — Kevin Toms Football Star Manager, a faithful remake of the very first Football Manager game from 1982, lands on Steam in mid-August, and you'd better believe that I'll be taking Hartlepool United all the way to the top of the English football pyramid.

Owners Get Puppy, Think It's a 'Giant' Breed—a Year Later Realize Mistake
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Annalise, 24 and from Minnesota, is the proud owner of 1-year-old Irish setter, Rinka, a breed she has always loved. "We originally wanted an Irish setter because they were big dogs," Annalise told Newsweek. "We also loved the breed because we heard they were similar to golden retrievers in personality, with just more energy—which worked great for us because we are very active!" Irish Setters, originally bred as a gun dog, are known for their active and outgoing personality, and getting along well with adults, children and other dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. They are a large breed, growing up to 27 inches at the shoulder, and weighing up to 70 pounds. But when Annalise brought Rinka home, as time went on they began to get worried—as Rinka didn't seem to be growing properly. "We were stressed," Annalise, who gave her first name only, admitted. But it turned out there was a very good reason Rinka wasn't growing into the large dog they had expected. In a video to Annalise's TikTok account, @333tape on August 3,which has racked up more than 1.3 million views, she shared a video of Rinka as a tiny puppy, and wrote: "When we brought you home and didn't know you were a field Irish setter for the first year and thought we had somehow forever stunted your growth." Rinka as a puppy. Rinka as a puppy. TikTok @333tape She added in the caption: "I genuinely believed I had done something wrong because she wasn't like all of the giant Irish setters I saw everywhere." Because, there are two types of Irish setters: the show Irish setter, and the field Irish setter, which are smaller and leaner, bred for hunting and stamina, according to a vet-reviewed report from Pooch and Mutt. Annalise told Newsweek it took them "a long time to realize she was so small because she was a field setter," as in their year and a half with her, "we have never met another 100 percent Irish setter, just some mixes." "I never expected this video to go viral but it has been amazing to hear about all the other Irish Setters out there and to know we weren't the only ones to have this mix up!" Annalise's video has racked up more than 150,000 likes, as animal lovers shared their own stories, one writing: "My cousin bought a field English setter, and wondered the same thing when it never really filled out. Great dogs though." "That's how I found out my Aussie was a mini Aussie," another said. "I was so confused like why aren't you growing, nope you're just the tiny version." Another agreed: "Yes! We've always owned field English setters and people often comment that they thought they were supposed to be bigger." And yet another wrote: "I got an Irish setter at five months old but the breeder didn't tell me he was a field Irish setter, so was wondering for a while why he'd stopped growing. Went to research and found out about the field ones."

"She is the sweetest dog I have ever met and she is incredibly emotionally intelligent, which worked out because we also originally got her to be an ESA [emotional support animal]," she said. "I would definitely recommend field Irish setters to people who have a lot of energy, time, and patience. They can be very energetic and stubborn dogs, but if you put in the time for them to be trained and played with a lot they will 100 percent be amazing dogs!"

The first part of Wednesday season two will be released on August 6 at 8am BST, nearly three years after the first season debuted in November 2022.
