A town forever blanketed in ice and snow, an inescapable time loop, and a group of travelers trapped between memory and truth. You will play as ShiMo, the amnesiac protagonist, stepping into this mysterious town known as the "Singularity." By solving a series of bizarre murder cases, you will gradually uncover the town's secrets, recover lost memories, and confront a long-buried past. But remember - in this world, kindness may lead to destruction, the truth may be crueler than lies, and the call of loneliness might just be the beginning of redemption. Are you ready to listen to the sound of 52Hz? "52 Hertz" is a futuristically apocalyptic Honkaku (authentic) mystery game. Trapped in a fog-shrouded, eerie town, you must work alongside the protagonist to solve murder cases and unmask the culprits. Through a series of puzzles, you'll seek out your own lost memories and uncover the truth about the town.

Nintendo Switch 2 JC400 Handheld Controller

$42.49 (was $54)

Get deal at Amazon

Nintendo Switch 2 players can grab a surprisingly good alternative to the Joy-Con 2 for handheld mode for only $42.49 (was $54) at Amazon. This is the lowest price yet for the Gammeefy JC400, a Bluetooth controller with a cradle designed specifically to hold the Switch 2 console. The JC400 has Hall Effect sticks with RGB light rings, two remappable back buttons, rumble with five intensity levels, six-axis motion controls, and numerous other features that make it a bargain.

You're probably wondering about the brand, right? Gammeefy? Yeah, it's not a major brand. It's one of those accessory brands you find on Amazon that happens to sell the same exact product as other brands you also haven't heard of. The JC400, for instance, is also sold by several other brands on Amazon. Additionally, the 2,700+ customer reviews (4.5/5-star average) is bolstered by an older model for the original Switch and Switch OLED on the same store page. It's worth noting the Switch/Switch OLED version of the controller is only $28 (was $40) for a limited time.

We rarely highlight off-brand accessories sold by multiple brands--a common occurrence on Amazon--but the JC400 is actually quite impressive.

Despite multiple rejections of its bids, Paramount remains intent on buying Warner Bros. Discovery and has now launched a lawsuit against the company over the matter. What's more, Paramount said it will seek to nominate its own team of directors at the WBD 2026 Annual Meeting this year, which could trigger a so-called proxy fight for the company's future.

Paramount boss David Ellison said in a memo to WBD shareholders that it filed suit in court today, January 12, calling on the court to direct WBD to release the specifics of Netflix's bid for WBD. The WBD shareholders need this information so they can "make an informed decision as to whether to tender their shares into our offer," Paramount said.

Ellison said Paramount had already asked for "the customary financial disclosure" that should have been provided to shareholders in a business transaction like this. But Ellison said WBD "failed to include" disclosures about several aspects of the deal from Netflix and share this with WBD shareholders.
