These photos don’t even necessarily need to earn high scores - they just need to capture unique behaviour. There are over 200 Pokemon in New Pokemon Snap, which means getting a four star photo of every single one is no easy feat....

It’s a day that ends in “Y” so it must be time for more Ninja drama. The latest exploit of the internet’s favorite Twitch star/punching bag involves YouTube’s infamous demonetization practices. It seems Mr. Blevins had a video flagged for inappropriate content despite not containing any rule-breaking footage.
