Dive Into Butter Swim Biscuits
Father's Day is tomorrow, as all the emails in your inbox have alerted you to. I don't presume to know what your dad likes, but I do know that a freshly baked biscuit is always a treat. Especially a biscuit that has the words 'butter swim' in front of it. I'll let Naz Deravian describe her recipe: 'The batter is combined in one bowl and then spread over melted butter, giving the impression of a batter swimming in butter, as the name suggests. While the biscuits bake, they absorb all the buttery goodness and crisp up around the edges.' You can watch a video of Naz's biscuits in butter-swimming action here, and find more Father's Day cooking ideas here. (To go on your biscuits: strawberry jam, raspberry jam, plum-ginger jam, fig-rosemary jam, lemon curd. Oh, and pimento cheese.) Featured Recipe View Recipe → Chicken jorim (soy-braised chicken): Eric Kim adapted a classic Korean beef braise for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, keeping the same deeply savory results. Definitely serve with rice to soak up all that sauce. Roasted fish with romesco salsa: You can leave the food processor in the cabinet. Lidey Heuck has you roughly chop the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs instead of blending them in this simple but excellent dinner. Curried red bean soup with kale: This is, as Zaynab Issa writes, a minestrone-esque riff on rajma and maharage nu shaak, two red kidney bean curries with spiced, aromatic gravies (rajma is Hindi for kidney beans, and maharage is Swahili for beans). It's exactly what I'd want to revive me on a rainy summer Sunday when I'm feeling blah. Italian dressing: Make a batch of Dan Pelosi's tangy, garlicky dressing this weekend, then drizzle it over salads, roasted vegetables, pasta, sandwiches and grain bowls all week. Texas sheet cake: I'm not from Texas, so I'll leave it to the Texan commenters in the recipe notes to debate pecans vs. other nuts, cinnamon vs. no cinnamon. I can say, however, that this is a Genevieve Ko recipe, so you know it's really delicious. There's precisely one thing that will keep me from dining outdoors, and that's mosquitoes. If you, like me, seem to be an all-you-can-bite buffet for those terrible creatures, you'll want to give a listen to this recent episode of The Wirecutter Show that breaks down which bug repellents work, which don't, and why. Thanks for reading!

It's Game (Almost) Over In the Final Squid Game Trailer
Squid Game has been one of Netflix's biggest hits in recent memory, and we've known for quite a while that the show was reaching the finish line. With just two weeks to go, Netflix has doled out one last trailer to remind auidneces how far Seong Gi-hun/456 has come and how much he's playing for keeps. Last season ended with Gi-hun learning his new game buddy In-ho/001 was actually the Front Man, who then killed his other game buddy, Jung-bae. That's made for one more death weighing on Gi-hun's conscience, and as Jang Geum-ja/149 tells him, life ain't fair and shit happens. But since he's a good person and 'beats [himself] up about the smallest things,' what else can he do but continue trying to bring this whole enterprise down and save the remaining contestants? While surviving players from the previous season are as beat down by everything as Gi-hun, they're not all giving up, and some new faces are equally ready to come out on top. Front Man's brother Jun-ho is trying to make it to the island for a rescue, but everything ultimately hinges on Gi-hun. And that means an eventual reunion with the Front Man, who's preparing for the incoming arrival of several VIPs and whatever the next phase of his plans are. How does it all end, and how will Gi-hun 'put an end to it?' We'll find out when the last six episodes of Squid Game premiere June 27 on Netflix.

PlayStation Has Its Head In The Sand About Its Live Service Future
Marathon While fans wait for crumbs of new information about PlayStation games like Intergalactic or Wolverine, Sony is continuing to tout their current and future live service plans, saying that it is "very, very committed to building a diverse and a resilient live-service portfolio,' according to boss Herman Hulst. This is in the wake of promises that PlayStation has learned lessons from the failure of Concord: "We have reviewed our processes in light of this to deeply understand how and why that title failed to meet expectations and to ensure we're not going to make the same mistakes again,' Hulst said. Live Services But looking at Sony's plans in the plain light of day, and despite all this projected confidence, it very much feels like the company is burying its head in the sand when it comes to the reality of its situation. Of the games pictured on its live-service planning sheet, we can break most of them down in different ways: Helldivers 2 FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Helldivers 2 – An unequivocal success story, one of the only ones Sony has had during this recent push, but something of a limited-time offer. Developer Arrowhead is not a Sony studio, and it has announced that because Helldivers 2 has done so well, that they are able to self-fund and publish their next game without Sony's help at all. While they say it's no shade to Sony, it reinforces that Arrowhead is not some sort of in-house live-service powerhouse they can rely on indefinitely, and they will be moving on. Destiny 2 Frontiers Destiny 2 – The decade-spanning series is something of a miracle in the land of live services, and you can say it actually helped launch the entire trend. But in year 11, things are scaling way down in the post-Light and Darkness era. The game has gone from record highs to record lows as it moves toward a new 'Frontiers' era, which will allow the game to subsist, but it is simply never going to reach previously high water marks from here. Sony will also not allow Bungie to put D2 to bed in order to take time to make a Destiny 3 that may never even get here as D2 shambles on past its expiration date. Marathon Marathon – Herman Hulst made headlines calling the game 'bold and innovative' and slides touting 'strong engagement' about the game, but it's just sandblasting away the enormous issues facing Marathon, a quadruple combo blow of 1) a poor gameplay showcase, 2) mixed-to-poor alpha feedback, 3) a headline-dominating art plagiarism scandal, 4) a post-alpha, post-plagiarism livestream that did little to reassure anyone on any front. Marathon is in deep trouble, and it will take something of a miracle for this game to land the way Sony wants it to as an industry hit. Fairgame$ Fairgames – The head of the studio, Jade Raymond, just left the project. Reports of internal tests say the game is bad. We have not seen or heard anything from it in almost two years. This is either going to be cancelled ahead of release or explode on the launchpad. If any game had a Concord-like future ahead of it, if it did actually come out, it's Fairgames. Those are the listed games. The other major, non-cancelled projects we know about are an upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn multiplayer monster-hunter, where we've seen almost nothing from it, and it will involve the always-risky idea of trying to convert fans of a single player series into something that's a dedicated multiplayer offering. Sony carved out a chunk of Bungie to make a new, in-house studio working on the game codenamed Gummy Bears, which does not have a name or any sort of preview footage, and while internal tests have been positive, it's hardly the first time we've heard that before. Perhaps the most promising item is what we have the least amount of information about, that Jason Blundell has his own studio inside Sony now and may make something cool akin to his Black Ops Zombies experience. But again, zero information here. Sony may be putting on a brave face, but things are going poorly. Its next two live games are probably not even a coinflip of whether they fail or not, and if there are any ones that work past that, they're still years away with literally nothing public shown about any of them. It's not good. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
