The latest Nintendo Switch exclusive, courtesy of Nintendo and developer Arika, is an unconventional sort that challenged my notions of what a game needs to be considered “good.” That’s because Endless Ocean: Luminous doesn’t have much at all; it’s pretty much just a game about swimming around and scanning fish.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a bill that started the clock on TikTok's future in the America: unless TikTok's parent company ByteDance divests from the app within the next year, it will face a ban in the country.

In the days following this decision, the official Biden-Harris TikTok account has posted 10 videos on the app. That's because the president plans to continue using TikTok until the new law is invoked. His campaign joined TikTok in February.

With the New Orleans Pelicans season now over courtesy of a first round sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the next battle for the team to face involves the future of Brandon Ingram.
