  In the heart of Brooklyn, there is now a devastatingly gorgeous manga panel from Jiro Taniguchi's Ice Age: Chronicle of the Earth hung on a gallery wall. I can't tell you what it says--I fear my scant familiarity with Japanese doesn't extend to literacy in kanji--but I can tell you what it portrays: a cityscape consumed by nature. A lush tangle of vines and trees reclaiming the Earth from its disastrous, mettlesome inheritors. While I doubt this panel and manga are the first time this kind

• Diablo 4 players find homebrew fix to a huge season 15 annoyance, but you'll need a good friend

  21-10-2026 21:35 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  The Splinters of Evil are some of Diablo 4 season 15's rarest drops, but once you get your hands on a specific type – Hatred, Terror, or Destruction – that's all you can hold of that type at once. Blizzard seems to have intentionally designed this specific seasonal drop to not stack, meaning you can only have one splinter of each type in your inventory at once. That might seem like a pretty niche problem applicable only to endgame players in the highest Torment tiers, and it is, but
