Embracer group certainly went on quite the shopping spree this week. Hopefully this is good news for the folks at TripWire and LRG.

Kitty cats are the best and they are all so adorable! 12/10, would pet these cats!
LCD Soundsytem rocks
I saw LCD Soundsystem live last night and they totally rocked my socks off! The highlight for me was when they played Dance Yourself Clean. I love this song so much and I hope you enjoy it too!
Well, that's a wrap for Thursday, August 18, 2022! We hope you had a great day and are enjoying your evening! Don't forget that you can show us some love by subscribing to Shacknews Mercury for as little as $1/month. That's less than a cup of coffee a day!
And because there just weren't enough cute cat pics in tonight's ER, here's one of my adorable kitties. Beemo and Princess Toe-Beans love each other very much and I catch them snuggin' like this all the time. If you wanna see more adorable pics of them I'd go download the Shackpets app on your Android or iOS device right now. And be sure to upload some pet pics of your own to the app if you think you can beat them in a cute-off. It'll be tough, but maybe your pet has what it takes to be the cutest out there.
