It has been nearly three years now since Destiny maker (and Sony subsidiary) Bungie formally announced a revival of the storied Marathon FPS franchise. And it has been about seven months since the game's originally announced release date of September 23, 2025, was pushed back indefinitely after a reportedly poor response to the game's first Alpha test.
But today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog, Bungie revealed that the new Marathon would finally be hitting PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, narrowing down the monthlong March release window announced back in December.
Unlike Destiny 2, which transitioned to a free-to-play model in 2019, the new Marathon sells a Standard Edition for $40 or a $60 Deluxe Edition that includes some digital rewards and cosmetics. That mirrors the pricing of the somewhat similar Arc Raiders, which recently hit 12 million sales in less than 12 weeks.

Let’s get the hard truth out of the way immediately: The RTX 5090 in a laptop is not the same silicon beast as the brick-sized card you shove into a desktop tower.

For the first time in years, Nvidia declined to introduce new GeForce graphics card models at CES. CEO Jensen Huang's characteristically sprawling and under-rehearsed 90-minute keynote focused almost entirely on the company's dominant AI business, relegating the company's gaming-related announcements to a separate video posted later in the evening.
Instead, the company focused on software improvements for its existing hardware. The biggest announcement in this vein is DLSS 4.5, which adds a handful of new features to Nvidia's basket of upscaling and frame-generation technologies.
DLSS upscaling is being improved by a new "second-generation transformer model" that Nvidia says has been "trained on an expanded data set" to improve its predictions when generating new pixels. According to Nvidia's Bryan Catanzaro, this is particularly beneficial for image quality in the Performance and Ultra Performance modes, where the upscaler has to do more guessing because it's working from a lower-resolution source image.

Methi Paratha is a healthy spiced paratha made by mixing tempered methi leaves with wheat flour in the regular making of paratha. Methi Paratha is an nice idea of including greens in the meal. This has a nice aroma, flavor because of fresh methi leaves. It can be made easily at home without much effort.
I usually make methi paratha for breakfast or for lunch box as it stays soft for a long time. You can pack it easily and it stays soft for long hours and it is one of the staple during travel. It goes very well with curd, pickle or even a simple dal. This recipe is simple and easy to understand and it does not need any fancy ingredients. If you like methi thepla, you can surely like this paratha also.
[feast_advanced_jump_to]Methi paratha is simple paratha made with fresh fenugreek leaves, wheat flour and some basic spices. It is commonly made in many North Indian homes, mostly during winter season when fresh methi is easily available in markets. The paratha has nice flavor and soft texture when it is cooked perfectly.
This has a great flavor because of methi leaves, also it balances well with the spices added. Sautéing methi before adding it to the dough helps to reduce the raw taste and bitterness a lot. It also gives flavor and makes the paratha tastier. You can also pack it for travel as it stays good for one or two days easily.
This methi paratha has soft inside with slight crisp outside when cooked well. It is not very thick and it rolls easily. You can make it little thin or little thick based on your preference. You can also make stuffing using paneer or potato, fill it in the middle and cook it same way like aloo paratha.
I usually make this when I get fresh methi from the market. It feels wholesome and filling, makes a super way to use methi in dishes. I love parathas very much so it was such a treat for me as methi paratha is packed with flavours with the addition of all the spice powders that I added.
Whenever I find fresh methi leaves, I buy them as we all love methi thepla so this time after packing mittus lunchbox, I reserved a handful of methi leaves to try this methi paratha. Methi paratha needs no side dish at all for me, but if you prefer you can have it with curd and pickle. I had mine with curd and tangy tamarind sauce.
1.Clean the methi leaves, chop it roughly rinse it in water and keep it ready.
2.Heat oil in a kadai, add jeera let it crackle. Add methi leaves and saute for a minute until it shrinks. Now add red chilli powder, jeera powder, chat masala powder and required salt.
3.Saute for 2 minutes. Now add this to whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl.
4.Add oil, first mix well with your fingers.
5.Now add water little by little to form a smooth nonsticky dough like chapathi dough. Let the dough rest at least for 15 minutes, keep covered.
6.Roll into small lemon sized balls. Take one ball,dust flour and roll it slightly thin as shown.
7.Like ways roll all the parathas ready. Heat tawa, cook the parathas first on one side, drizzle oil and cook on both sides till golden spots appear here and there. Serve hot!
Serve hot with curd or raita!
Serve this hot with curd, pickle or butter. This goes well for breakfast or lunch. You can store cooked parathas for a 2 days at room temperature and up to 4 days in fridge. Reheat on tawa before serving. If packing for travel, cook with little extra oil.
Yes you can use kasoori methi if fresh methi is not available. Taste will differ but still good.
You can, but sautéing gives better taste and reduces bitterness.
Yes you can replace methi with palak or mix both also.
Yes it stays soft for a day and is good for lunch box.
Yes you can make dough and keep in fridge for few hours. Bring to room temperature before rolling.

Set in the cosy yet competitive world of publishing, Romance Is a Bonus Book is a slow-burn Korean romance that explores ageism, career breaks, friendship and love. The story unfolds through the lens of a woman rebuilding her life — quietly and without spectacle. Gentle and meandering, the series is rooted in emotional realism rather than dramatic twists.
I believe there’s a right time to read a book — and the same holds true for watching a series. Romance Is a Bonus Book proved this to me. There have been times I’ve started a series and stopped it after an episode or two because it didn’t appeal to me. Romance is a Bonus Book is one such drama. RIABB was recommended by the friend who introduced me to Korean dramas in 2019. Back then, I’d given up on the series after episode 4 or 5, for reasons I don’t really remember. But my 2022 viewing of RIABB has been smooth sailing. Here’s the good and the bad of this series…
Kang Dan-i (Lee Na-young), a 37-year-old, is scrambling to upgrade her life. The former advertising copywriter has separated from her husband, who cheated on her, and is now an unemployed single mother. Adding to the struggle of finding suitable employment after the long career gap is the fact that her house is being razed. So, to make ends meet, she is working as a housekeeper… at her best friend Cha Eun-ho’s (Lee Jong-suk) home, and he doesn’t know it!
Eun-ho, 32, is a successful author, chief editor and one of the founding members of Gyeoroo Publishing. He has been in love with Dan-i since he was a teenager but obviously, the latter is clueless. In the present (of the show) Eun-ho is unaware about Dan-i’s struggles. Eventually, Dan-i finds a job at Eun-ho’s publishing house, and the latter finds out about her state of affairs and drags her to live with him until she finds her footing.
The story progresses in tandem with Dan-i’s professional and personal growth. She impresses her colleagues with her hard work and creative flair, makes new chingus and love comes knocking. Of course, the journey isn’t smooth as the duo navigate through personal and professional highs and lows but then, what’s a series without some drama, right?
A very generic and mundane description of this series would be that it is a mature friends-to-lovers romance, the story of a divorced woman fighting against the odds and winning. But just as life isn’t as simple, the series isn’t as generic.
Although branded a romantic comedy, Romance is a Bonus Book may not be a series that viewers in their 20s may relate with because honestly, most of the issues that the protagonist faces are the 30s problem – especially the ‘age discrimination’ and the various societal pressures that ‘aging’ women have to face. And when I say ‘age’ here, I mean women in their late 30s and 40s. It’s subtle but evident in the way Dan-i has to fudge her resume to land a menial job, the way she is berated for trying to take a job that ‘belongs’ to someone younger and her thoughts about exploring a romantic relationship with someone younger.
The highlight of this series is Lee Na-young and Lee Jong-suk’s acting. The former slays as Dan-i, effortlessly showing the character’s inner struggles, determination to survive, presence of mind, and self-belief. She adds to the existing layers of the character, and in doing so, she becomes a heroine viewers will relate to and empathise with – because, trust me, we’ve all been there at least once in life.
And please, I simply can not mention Lee Jong-suk. The man with the cute face can make your heart flutter and how! Jong-suk’s broad shoulders carry the role of Eun-ho with as much ease as they carry off those amazing long coats and sweaters (a little swoon here please). His admiration, love, and support for his noona are evident in every single frame, like that warm comforter you want to snuggle into after a hard day. There are several emotional moments, and the duo does a brilliant job with these without going overboard.
A key point of attraction here is the setting – Gyeoroo Publishing. It makes me want to apply for a job there right away because that’s what a dream job would be, right? Your work is an extension of a genuine love; you get to live in the world of books day in and day out, your bestie works at the office, and your love interest does too! And not to forget the colleagues that range from scary and tyrannical to weird and adorable. All the supporting characters – including the potential love interests Ji Seo-joon (Wi Ha-joon) and Song Hae-rin (Jung Yoo-jin) – are well etched, each with backstories that justify their behaviour and add to the storyline.
One of the best moments of the series is in the last episode, when a letter drawing a comparison between life, relationships, and books is read out. It’s poignant and heartwarming, and the reason the title of the series makes absolute sense.
If you are the kind that needs drama and speed and a cliffhanging end to every episode, then Romance Is A Bonus Book isn’t something you want to want. The series, albeit interesting, is a bit scattered, and for non-Koreans, the references to books and authors can be a little confusing since we aren’t familiar with them.
There is no shock value in the series, not even the unravelling of the mystery creates conflict. Moreover, with much of the information dropped in the first half of the series, the remaining episodes are more about tying up the knots and feel dragged out. I’d say chop off an episode and a half!
It’s soothing, but sometimes, soothing can put you to sleep too.
Bread Omelette is basically toasted bread covered with a simple spiced egg mix, and the flavors come together nicely when it gets toasted until golden on both sides. This dish has soft eggs and slightly crisp bread, so the texture itself feels satisfying. The spices are mild making it an ideal breakfast recipe. Bread and eggs are a winning combo and this one is no exception.
Bread Omelette is one of those easy breakfast dishes I end up making when I want something filling but really don't have much time to think what to cook. I mostly make this for a quick breakfast or even sometimes for evening snack, especially when someone wants something warm and tasty immediately.
[feast_advanced_jump_to]Bread Omelette is one of the oldest street-style snacks you will find in many places, and each shop has its own variations. The base idea is simple where eggs are beaten with onions, green chilies and spices, bread slices are dipped into this and cooked together. The bread absorbs the egg mixture and you get a soft inside and light toasted outside.
Bread Omelette always reminds me of train journeys as I love bread omlette served in the Indian Railways and should admit I look forward to day train journeys just for the sake of this dish. I make it when hungry in between meals or when we want a quick breakfast. It always turns out quite satisfying.
The taste also depends on how you like your omelette to be. Some people add more onion to make it bit crunchy, some keep it plain with only spices. The heat from pepper and chili gives a nice lift and the coriander leaves adds that fresh touch.
There are many ways people make this. You can toast the bread first and then sandwich the omelette, add little cheese on top, or even mix small pieces of capsicum or tomato into the egg. You can also make a bigger one by joining few bread slices like they do in shops. Each version has its own nice taste.
1.Break open 2 eggs in a mixing bowl, then add all the spice powders along with required salt. Then add chopped onion.
2.Add finely chopped green chilies and coriander leaves to it. Mix it well with a spoon. Beat it for few seconds.
3.Heat a pan with oil,when it is hot - pour the egg mixture on it. Tilt it so that the egg mixture is even on all the edges.
4.Take a bread slice dip in the egg then flip over and place it. Repeat this for the other egg too. So the dipped side should come on top. Drizzle oil.
5.Once it gets cooked on one side, flip over to other side, press it with the ladle. Cook for 2 minutes then flip over and serve.
Serve hot!
Serve this hot with chopped onions, coriander leaves or even little ketchup if you prefer. It goes well with tea or even as a quick meal by itself. This recipe tastes best served immediately. I don't recommend storing leftovers.
Yes you can add small pieces of capsicum or tomato also.
Yes you can leave it out if you want a milder omelette.
Yes cheese melts well and makes it richer.
You can make plain omelette too, but onions add good flavor.
Any regular bread works, but slightly firm slices toast better.

I believe there’s a right time to read a book and until the time has arrived, you will either not enjoy reading the book or will set it aside for later.
