    Tooooooooons. Games! Characters?

    The 2008 Strong Bad point-and-click adventure flash game Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triangulate is out on Steam and itch.io for both Windows and macOS, for $7.99 (via TechRadar).

    The Homestar Runner game has been “remastered and expanded” with updated visuals, new cutscenes, and full voice acting. It comes in three “Roomisodes” following Strong Bad as Dangeresque, “the world’s greatest private eye/crooked cop.”

    Instagram’s Threads has lost almost 80 percent of its daily active Android users.

    A blog post by analytics firm Similarweb says data from the Android Threads app show the social network has fallen to 10.3 million daily active Android users as of August 7th. That’s down from a July 7th peak of 49.3 million.

    Earlier this month, both Gizmodo and CNN cited Similarweb data while reporting the Threads slump. Whether Threads could still go the distance remains to be seen, but Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is keeping a positive face for investors.

    Who’s to say this isn’t art?

    Self-proclaimed meme artist Sunday Nobody went to incredible lengths to create his hot dog sculptures, fabricating a custom mold to melt down blocks of ice from leftover water from cooking 394 hot dogs.

    He then mailed them in unrefrigerated containers so that when they arrived, they would just be... jars of hot dog water. Don’t worry, people knew what they were buying:

    Unrefrigerated hot dog shaped ice sculpture made from frozen hot dog water. When it arrives the ice sculpture will just be a puddle of melted hot dog water in a sealed container. Glass container is hermetically sealed with waterproof and smell proof silicon sealant. Comes with a numbered polaroid picture documenting the ice sculpture before its death by melting.

    Several “Reality” trademarks are officially Apple’s now.

    Remember when we thought the Vision Pro would be called the Reality Pro? That was because of some sneaky shell company trademark filings by (probably) Apple last year.

    Turns out Apple went ahead and transferred those trademarks to itself, according to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter in Bloomberg today. It might not ever use them, but at least it won’t be surprising if it does.
