| | | In a week when a bear named Backpack won the 2026 Alaska Fat Bear title, when a shark was filmed swiming on a flooded street in Surf City, NJ, when a Japanese Starbucks introduced the pumpkin soup and cappuccino hybrid, the Pumpkin Soupucinno, when researchers announced their findings indicating that sharks can hear from almost 250 feet away, and when Guinness named a 78-year-old grandmother the oldest person streaming Fortnite (look for her as grumpygran48), we're still talking games here at Meeple Mountain. |
