Anbernic’s first wireless controller will cost $18.

Earlier in October, Anbernic revealed its first wireless controller — the RG P01 — with features comparable to the $29.99 8BitDo Ultimate 2C, including Hall effect triggers and joysticks.

Anbernic’s gamepad will be an even more tempting alternative to 8BitDo’s budget-friendly controller now that we know it will cost $17.99, or $14.99 if preordered before it’s expected to release on November 12th.

Plight of the Valkyries.

Further complicating matters, Mr. Musk took a name that he and Ms. Boucher had chosen for their daughter — Valkyrie — and gave it to one of Ms. Zilis’s twins, according to two people familiar with the naming. Ms. Boucher was so offended that she wrote a song about the episode, which she posted to Twitter.

“A girl cursed with my daughter’s name,” Ms. Boucher wrote in a now-deleted tweet, “will now carry her mother’s shame.” (In the end, Ms. Zilis changed her daughter’s name, while Ms. Boucher chose a different name for her child.)

Glad they worked that out. It would’ve gotten truly confusing to have two Valkyries living under the same roof — or whatever covers a 14,400-square-foot villa.

Meanwhile, a separate email from the company requests that event organizers share “all active social media accounts” login credentials with Automattic to ensure “safe storage for all future events.”
