Heavy Metal Magazine is coming back in a big way, as the recently revived comic book magazine will be available in comic shop retail stores in 2025. In 1977, four arthouse visionaries decided to make science fiction, fantasy, and horror a home in pop culture. It took over 45 years, but while heavy metal has always been here in the zeitgeist, other brands have tried to claim our birthright. And now we’ve come to reclaim the genre’s rightful throne.

A $2,000 video card for consumers shouldn’t exist. The GeForce RTX 5090, like the $1,599 RTX 4090 before it, is more a flex by NVIDIA than anything truly meaningful for most gamers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said as much when he revealed the GPU at CES 2025, assuming that it’ll be for hardcore players who have $10,000 rigs. Personally, I don’t know anyone who actually fits that bill, not unless you count parasocial relationships with streamers. (My own setup doesn’t even cross $5,000.) But we all know why NVIDIA is hyping up the unattainable RTX 5090: It lets the company…

iPhone Compatible: Yes |Material: Bamboo Casetify is well known for making durable yet stylish phone cases, but they also have some eco-friendly options. The latest is a line of compostable phone cases made from a 100 percent compostable plant-based material called “Ecotify.” It’s basically a blend of bamboo, biopolymers, and starch. The regular Compostable line has about 4 feet of fall protection, while the Ultra Compostable line with extra corner bumpers has about 6.6 feet of fall protection. My recommendation is to choose the more durable Ultra Compostable option, even if it costs a little more. Unfortunately, Casetify’s Compostable product…
