Rare Continuing to Look Into Sea of Thieves Servers
Some Sea of Thieves users have experienced server issues with the game's launch, but Rare said its working to settle things down so everyone can enjoy smooth sailing.
Players have reported problems with missing items and gold when logging in. There's also a problem where no gold or reputation is awarded once a quest is completed.
At the moment, the only fix Rare has is "to exit to main menu and matchmake back into the game," and it warns this fix may take multiple tries. As for the missing rewards, those haven't gone adrift and will eventually show up again, but "can take a while to come through."
Black Bolt Shows the Strength of a Weak Hero
There is a moment in Marvel Comics’ Black Bolt series in which our hero, Black Bolt, King of the Inhumans, is standing outside of a horrible cosmic prison he has just escaped, weighing whether or not he should risk going back inside to help other inmates get out. A hero putting the safety and wellbeing of others ahead of his own is typical superhero fare, but what movingly sets this scene apart is that our hero isn’t acting stereotypically “heroic” at all. Black Bolt is scared, and his fear introduces a rare element into mainstream comics: a weak superhero.
“Black Bolt stands frozen,” the panel reads. “But not from indecision ...No, Black Bolt -- called by some the most powerful man on earth -- stands frozen with fear.” Christian Ward’s art is in perfect sync with Saladin Ahmed’s writing — showing a Black Bolt tempted, and nearly beaten, by the thought of fleeing to the safety of his family.

Nintendo Switch: Dataminers Discover Hardware Update Clues
Dataminers have discovered possible references to upcoming changes in Nintendo Switch hardware - although this doesn't necessarily mean an entirely new version of the console.
As spotted by ResetEra user Atheerios, dataminers at Switchbrew discovered a new folder, added after the console's recent 5.0 firmware upgrade. The folder appears to point to a new Switch hardware configuration, seemingly codenamed 'Mariko'.
Initially, Switch hackers believed that this may simply be covering a replacement CPU chip, swapping the current Tegra 210 with the Tegra 214, after it was discovered that the 210 was vulnerable to hacking, even with new firmware.
