Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds (2020)

This stunning documentary explores the cultural and scientific impacts meteorites and craters have had on Earth. It’s complicated but compelling stuff. The film interviews people like Norwegian jazz guitarist Jon Larsen, who describes the feeling of holding a micrometeorite: “No human being has ever touched anything older.

Sometimes, after a long day dealing with enemies fuming about your status as heir or questioning your kids’ legitimacy, all you want to do is kick back and relax with a stiff drink.

What would House of the Dragon star Emma D’Arcy’s character, the ever-pressed Princess Raenerya, imbibe? You’re probably already familiar with the answer.

In a video posted to HBO Max’s TikTok account on Oct. 1., D’Arcy revealed their drink of choice to co-star Olivia Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent. “A negroni … sbagliato … with prosecco in it,” D’Arcy says with playful pauses in between. “Oh, stunning,” Cooke replies.

The internet has deemed the clip, which has 1.5 million likes as of this writing, as scorching as dragon’s breath. D’Arcy’s voice, in particular, is getting a lot of attention, with users calling it “so soothing” and liking it to “extremely expensive” aged wine.

“The way they said ‘with prosecco in it’ made me melt,” one commenter wrote.

The actor’s delivery ignited a TikTok trend where users post their own videos mouthing D’Arcy’s words. More than 16,000 videos have used the sound so far. Here are a few examples:

Now

Forza Horizon 5 players now have access to in-game ray tracing and DLSS or FSR upscaling support on PC. The latest series 14 “Donut Media” update arrived yesterdayand it now allows Forza Horizon 5 players to enable ray tracing in free roam areas and races at ultra or extreme settings.

You’ll need a powerful PC to play with 4K extreme settings, but Playground Games has also added in Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology alongside AMD’s very latest FSR 2.2 support. Both upscaling technologies will take a 1080p image and upscale it to 4K, improving the performance in Forza Horizon 5.

If you have an Nvidia RTX card then DLSS support will be available, but Forza Horizon 5 isn’t using the latest DLSS 3 tech that’s only available on RTX 40-series cards. AMD’s latest FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.2 (FSR 2.2) support will work across most graphics cards from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel.

“While we have nothing to share today regarding DLSS 3.0, the team looks forward to your feedback on the DLSS 2.4 implementation in Forza Horizon 5which can be enabled on all Nvidia RTX graphics cards to increase your performance at higher resolutions,” says Playground Games.

Forza Horizon 5 has long supported ray tracing but it was previously limited to the ForzaVista presentation mode for viewing cars within the game. You’ll now be able to see car reflections during races and free roam, and even “realistic

I think about Wordle way too much. My two-step strategy of beginning with TRAIN and then trying CLOSE as the second word got me to a near-100 winning streak before I blew it a month back, when I guessed VAULT instead of FAULT. Whoops. My FAULT.

So I went back to the Worldle drawing board, deciding I needed a three-starter-word strategy. Usually guessing TRAIN and CLOSE as my first two words gave me a decent number of accurate letters that I just needed to shuffle into the right spots. But sometimes it doesn’t. Then I’m staring blankly at a grid, with four guesses remaining and zero idea what to do.

TRAIN and CLOSE, my starter words, use all 10 of the 10 most commonly used letters in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, according to Reader’s Digest. That’s pretty good, I thought. But where do I go from there, if that gets me nothing? For a while, I tried WHELM, thinking that W, H, L and M were all good consonants to get out of the way. It worked OK, but not great. I was under-WHELMED.

Pumped about ‘UMPED’

But for the past month, I’ve been using this strategy:

1. First word…TRAIN
2. Second word…CLOSE (sometimes CLOSE gets me nothing, but those are big letters I can’t skip)
3. Third word…UMPED. Yes, “UMPED” is a word. I hate reusing the E, but UMPED gets me the last of the five main vowels, three big consonants, and does try the E in a spot
