what was it top news of the week is this about to end? We’re back to talk about Elden Ring, or rather, we’ve never stopped doing it: in this case, the reason lies in the time limit set by FromSoftware, as well as the alleged leak that will reveal the game’s first expansion. Could it be true?
Then we saw the debut of the PlayStation Stars loyalty program, with rewards and an environment that’s nearly identical to Microsoft Rewards, as well as the inevitable space for curiosities with streamers’ receipts on Twitch and especially the success of Amouranth.

In this regard, Amouranth seems to have earned a terrible income on OnlyFans: she became famous thanks to her live broadcasts on Twitch, the American model has collected the beauty so far. $27 million, net tax. In short, there are really a lot of people who pay to see him poke around naked with rubber cocks: We would never say that.
