Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

***Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream***, known in Japan as  is an upcoming social simulation game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. It is the third game in the *Tomodachi* series, succeeding *Tomodachi Collection* (2009) and *Tomodachi Life* (2013), and is the first new game in the series in over a decade. It is supposed to release on April 16th 2026.

## Gameplay
The game takes place on an open tropical island, the player watches a population of Miis which they can interact with. The player can also view interactions between the characters such as fights, and eavesdrop on their dreams as they could in the previous game. Unlike in previous entries, the game allows players to directly control what happens between Miis rather than relying on random chance for Miis to create their relationships. Also, new options for the in-game Mii Maker allow customization for sections of the hair, along with many new options for facial features. This game marks the first appearance of ears on Mii characters.

## Release
*Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream* was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on 27 March 2025. It is scheduled to be released for the Nintendo Switch in the second quarter of 2026, thirteen years following the release of *Tomodachi Life*. The Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible with the game.

When the game was announced, fans suspected whether same-sex relationships would be a part of the game. Neither of the previous games had the ability to form relationships with Miis of the same sex, which started controversy. Despite officially talking about this decision, Nintendo of America did not add the feature post-launch. However, they stated that if they were to create a third game in the series, they would "strive to design a gameplay experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players." It was announced on the *Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct* that non-binary Miis and same-sex marriage will be available.

The term sana refers to cottage cheese or paneer, and thongba refers to curry in the Meitei language. The dish is commonly included in the vegetarian feast called Ushop. Unlike many North Indian paneer curries, it uses milk as the primary base for the gravy rather than tomato, onion, or garlic. Traditional preparations may exclude onions and garlic, using only ginger, bay leaves, and nigella seeds. annual convention feasts, culinary competitions, including chef contests, and other special events.

## Ingredients 
The primary ingredients are paneer (or firm tofu), green peas, milk, water, turmeric, cumin seeds or nigella seeds, ginger, and salt. Some variations include potatoes, onions, and green chilies. Cooking oil or mustard oil is used, and ghee may be added for shallow frying the paneer. Fresh coriander leaves can be used as a garnish. The milk-to-water ratio can be adjusted to control gravy consistency.

## Preparation 
Paneer is cut into cubes and lightly fried in oil or a combination of oil and ghee until golden brown. Aromatics, including cumin or nigella seeds and bay leaves, are briefly heated in the pan. Onions are added if used. Ginger or ginger-garlic paste is added and sautéed on low heat. Potatoes and green peas are then incorporated and lightly sautéed. Turmeric, chili powder, and salt are added. Water is poured over the vegetables, which are cooked under a covered pan until the potatoes are tender.

The curry is garnished with chopped coriander leaves and served with steamed rice, roti, or phulkas.

## Variations 
Some recipes omit onions and garlic entirely, following traditional practices. Potatoes and green chilies may be included to modify texture and heat. Firm tofu may be used instead of paneer to make the dish vegan. The proportion of milk to water can be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency, and ghee may be added to the oil used for frying the paneer.

Kelpie

A **kelpie** is a mythical shape-shifting spirit that lives in lakes in Scottish folklore. They are also found in ponds and streams in Yorkshire stories. Tales of these water-horses, known by different names, are common across the British Isles, including the Northern Isles, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Northern England, and Wales. Kelpies are usually described as grey or white horse-like creatures that can change into humans. Some stories say that when a kelpie becomes human, it still has hooves, which links it to the Christian idea of Satan, as mentioned by Robert Burns in his 1786 poem "Address to the Devil".

Almost every large body of water in Scotland has a kelpie story, but the most well-known is from Loch Ness. Similar creatures appear around the world, like the Germanic nixie, the wihwin in Central America, and the Australian bunyip. The exact origins of these stories are unclear, but they likely served to keep children away from dangerous water and to warn young women about trusting handsome strangers.

Kelpies have appeared in many forms in art and literature, including two 30-meter (100-foot) tall steel sculptures called *The Kelpies* in Falkirk, completed in October 2013.

Ammianus Marcellinus

**Ammianus Marcellinus** (born , died –400) was a Roman soldier and historian. He wrote historical records from Ancient history until now. His work ***Res Gestae*** tells the history of Rome from the reign of Emperor Nerva in 96 to the death of Valens at the Battle of Adrianople in 378. However, today only the part covering the years 353–378 still exists.

## Evaluation 
Edward Gibbon described Ammianus as “an accurate and faithful guide,” who wrote about his own time without strong bias or passion, which often influenced people of his age." However, Gibbon also criticized Ammianus for his rough writing style. He said that Ammianus used a crude and plain pen to describe violent characters in a dull and unpleasant way. The Austrian historian Ernst Stein praised Ammianus as “the greatest literary genius produced by the world between the times of Tacitus and Dante.”.

According to Kimberly Kagan, in his descriptions of battles, Ammianus focused mainly on the experiences of soldiers and did not explain the wider background. As a result, readers may find it hard to understand why the battles ended as they did.

Ammianus’s work also includes a detailed description of a tsunami that destroyed the city of Alexandria and the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea on July 21, 365. His account accurately describes typical effects of an earthquake, including the sea pulling back and a sudden tsunami rushing in.

Deutsche Bundesbank

The **Deutsche Bundesbank** is the central bank of Germany within the Eurozone (a region of countries that use the Euro). The Bundesbank was the first central bank to be given control over the economy. From 1957 to 1998 it printed the Deutsche Mark.

When the European Central Bank was formed in 1998, the Bundesbank stopped being the German central bank. It also stopped printing Deutsche Marks. Germany did not get rid of the Bundesbank in 1998, but its role changed from being a central bank to helping the European Central Bank.

During the reunification of Germany, Helmut Kohl chose to allow Deutsche Marks to be exchanged for East German Marks, at a 1:1 ratio. The Bundesbank argued that this would cause inflation, and it had to change plans to stop this.

In the Euro area crisis, it was said that the Bundesbank could have an exposure(money that it could lose) of €644 billion. The Bundesbank is the largest shareholder of the European Central Bank. If the Euro were to fail, the Bundesbank could lose up to €200 billion. The Bundesbank asked for a tax on the people of a country before they could ask to default(agree to not pay off) on their debt (money that they need to pay back).

Siege of Herat

The **Siege of Herat** was a military engagement that took place in the spring of 1749, during the power struggle that followed the death of Nader Shah. The city of Herat, a strategically important stronghold in Khorasan, was nominally under the authority of Shah Rukh Afshar, Nader Shah's grandson, but was governed locally by an Arab chief.

## Background 
Ahmad Shah assembled an army, reported to be 25,000 strong, and marched toward Herat in the spring of 1749.

## Course of the Siege 
Afghan soldiers scaled the walls, fought their way inside, and opened the gates. The Durrani army entered enmasse and sacked Herat. Amir Khan attempted a counterattack from the citadel but was defeated. Realizing the futility of further resistance, he and Bahbud Khan surrendered to Ahmad Shah and pleaded for clemency.

## Aftermath 
Following the capture, Herat was formally annexed into the Durrani Empire. Ahmad Shah reinstalled Shah Rukh as a nominal ruler under Afghan suzerainty. Subsequently, he appointed a new governor, Ali Khan, a Hazara tribal leader, to oversee the city.

Khwāirākpā

**Khwairakpa** () was a royal prince of Manipur during the reign of Meidingu Khagemba (1597 - 1652 CE). He is mentioned in historical accounts that detail the political turmoil of the early seventeenth century. Additionally, his figure appears in the Manipuri historical novel **Labanga-Lata**, authored by Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. Most of what we know about Khwairakpa comes from literary sources rather than from a wealth of historical documents.

## Family and Background 
Khwairakpa was one of the half-brothers of Khagemba, sharing the same father but different mothers. He was the father of Latasana, a princess central to a significant personal and political dispute involving the royal family. This decision angers Sanongba. This disagreement eventually starts the conflict.

## Role in Political Crisis 
Sanongba's rebellion ended with his defeat at the Battle of Toubul in 1606 CE. It all started with an issue over a damaged boat. When Sanongba refused the king's offers to repair or replace it, King Khagemba considered this as a challenge to his authority. Tensions grew further due to Sanongba's self-willingness and his desire to marry Khwairakpa's daughter to Labanga, which Khwairakpa opposed.

As the conflict built up, Sanongba was exiled from the kingdom. This exile made the political crisis worse and made him seek support from external forces, including mercenaries from Cachar, ultimately leading to his rebellion against Khagemba.

Literary sources, particularly the novel *Labanga-Lata*, portray Khwairakpa as an ally of the king in efforts to suppress the rebellion. The novel suggests that Khwairakpa and the king planned to request assistance from the King of Cachar to capture Sanongba and his followers. This shows the diplomatic relationships between Manipur and its neighboring regions during that era.

## Mentions in Literature 
Khwairākpā is depicted in two important literary sources. 

Nongsamei, a historical chronicle, presents Khwairakpa as a key figure whose personal and family conflicts lead to larger military confrontations with the Meitei kingdom and its neighbors. 

Labanga Latā (1940), a historical novella, dramatizes the personal and romantic tensions among Khwairakpa, Sanongba, and their families. In this story, Khwairakpa is shown as strong and determined, though he may lack the sensitivity to stop family conflicts from escalating.

## Character Assessment 
The way Khwairakpa is described in the story shows that he is a practical and direct person. He rejects Sanongba's offer to marry his daughter and does not back down in the boat argument, showing that he sticks to his decisions. However, this self-willingness also contributes to the tragedy in the royal family.

## Descendants 
His descendants are the people of the Khwairakpam family of the Meitei people, including Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh.

Resident Evil Requiem

**Resident Evil Requiem** is an upcoming survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. It is part of the *Resident Evil* series and is set to continue the franchise’s focus on horror, exploration, and combat. The game was announced in 2025 and is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows.

## Gameplay 
Resident Evil Requiem is a single‑player survival horror game that blends classic horror and action gameplay. Players take control of two characters: FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and veteran agent Leon S. Kennedy, with the story switching between them to allow for different experiences.

Grace’s sections focus on tense survival horror, where she must manage limited ammunition, sneak around enemies, and use a lighter to explore dark environments. Players can craft items such as specialized injectors using infected blood samples for strategic advantage. Leon’s sections are more action‑based, with firearms, parrying with a tomahawk, and combat skills that reflect his experience.

Requiem lets players switch between first‑person and third‑person views at any time, giving both a close, tense horror feel and a more open combat perspective.

## Development 
Development of *Resident Evil Requiem* began following the completion of *Resident Evil Village*, with Capcom positioning the project as the ninth mainline entry in the survival horror series. The game is directed by Koshi Nakanishi, who previously directed *Resident Evil 7: Biohazard*, and produced by Masato Kumazawa. Early in development, the team tested out online and open-world concepts, but these ideas were ultimately abandoned in favor of a traditional single-player experience after internal testing and fan feedback suggested a return to the series’ core survival horror roots. Developers have stated that the tone and structure of *Requiem* were inspired by classic entries such as *Resident Evil 2*, emphasizing exploration, puzzle solving, and resource management. The project was officially unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025, with Capcom confirming a multi-platform release strategy aimed at current-generation consoles and PC.
