Certain places in cities often become part of one's life, often unexpectedly. For me, there's one such place here in Dublin: the Herbert Park Hotel in Ballsbridge, very close to the US Embassy.

For many years, I was a frequent visitor: for business meetings, New Year's Eve celebrations, and especially for my mother's birthdays. Every year, until her 93rd birthday, her closest friends gathered there. There was always champagne on the table, usually more than one bottle. Over time, I came to associate this hotel with friendship, celebrations—and with my mother.

Diablo 4's next season won't have any new mechanics or a new theme because all the focus is on Lord of Hatred

If you don't intend to buy the Lord of Hatred expansion, the next season in Diablo 4 won't be as exciting as you'd expect. Diablo 4 is gearing up for its biggest post-launch event yet: the upcoming release of the Lord of Hatred expansion. As was the case with Vessel of Hatred before it, expansion releases alter the seasonal flow in a few ways, and Blizzard has now explained how.

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred review - A compelling conclusion delivered with a panache that proves Blizzard still got it

Lord of Hatred wraps up the arc that began with Diablo 4, as Blizzard so deftly delivers a campaign that will forever live on as one of its best work Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has, without question, been one of my most anticipated releases of 2026. Diablo 4 is likely my most played game ever by sheer hour count, so it’s easy to see why this expansion is so high up on my list. However many rakes Blizzard has stepped on over the course of the game’s live service, however many seasons or events it botched, I maintain that no other ARPG matches Diablo 4 in either game feel or production value.

'War booty': Cheap iPhone 18s advertised in Tehran after Hormuz shipwreck, claims report - The Times of India

(Screengrab from footage shared on social media)Apple's iPhone 18 smartphones are being advertised in Tehran at unusually low prices as “war booty”, with sellers claiming the devices were recovered from a cargo ship that sank near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran International reported on Saturday. The advertisements surfaced after a container ship reportedly sank near the strategic waterway on October 13. Videos circulating on social media purportedly showed shipping containers floating in the sea, with iPhones and expensive perfumes scattered in the water as people aboard small boats collected the goods. According to a report by Ynet News, footage circulated by media outlets across the Arab world on Thursday evening showed people retrieving objects from the water. One boat appeared to be carrying boxes of iPhones, with one report claiming that the devices were Apple's latest iPhone 18 models. The identities of those seen collecting the goods remain unclear. There has been no official confirmation of the incident. Iran's cyber police have warned prospective buyers against paying deposits or advance fees before inspecting the products and verifying sellers' identities.
