The Top 10 Most Valuable NFL Teams in 2023

Every year, Forbes financial experts cast their eyes on the various sports teams and assign them a value based on numerous factors. They include the team’s brand, sponsorship deals, debt, revenue, and operating income. As August drew to a close, Forbes released its valuation of the 32 franchises that make up the National Football League (NFL), and they make interesting reading.

1. Dallas Cowboys – $9 Billion

The Dallas Cowboys retained their status as the NFL’s most valuable team, with Forbes pricing the Cowboys at an almost unbelievable $9 billion. That valuation is 13% higher than in 2022, thanks partly to the team reaching the Divisional Playoffs and reducing its debt to only 3% of the outfit’s valuation. read more

Autism Representation in Superhero Media: A Diverse Spectrum

As someone on the autism spectrum, I’ve always been keenly aware of how autism is portrayed in media. Recently, after watching “The Marvels,” I reflected on Kamala Khan’s character in Ms. Marvel and her perception within the autistic community.

Is Kamala Khan Autistic?

Marvel has not officially labeled Kamala Khan as autistic, but her traits have sparked debates. For instance, an article from Mythcreants observes, “Kamala’s hyperfocus on superheroes and her intense imagination are typical of ADHD, but they’re also common in autistic people.” This overlap in symptoms fuels speculation about her neurodiversity. read more

The Art of Writing an Intriguing Online Bio

Crafting a compelling online bio requires a fine balance between professionalism and authenticity. It’s not merely a text box; it’s your first impression. Crafting an online bio involves carefully selecting words that represent you, minus the fluff, drawing the right people in.

Tailoring to the Platform’s Purpose and Audience

Every online platform is designed with a specific audience and purpose in mind. Understanding this can shape the content and tone of your bio.

For instance, LinkedIn primarily caters to professionals. Here, you might focus on qualifications, key projects, and career aspirations. On the flip side, Dating Platforms are more personal. Remember, your bio is a reflection of you, so take time to present an honest, yet captivating image. This is where your bio should shine a light on personal values, interests, and what you seek in a partner. And then there’s Instagram, a space to express personality, hobbies, and personal achievements. Knowing your audience and the platform’s purpose can guide the structure and content of your bio. read more

A Universal Adventure: First Timer’s Guide

My recent trip to Universal Orlando was truly an unforgettable experience. Venturing into the parks for the first time, my husband and I, who have quite distinct activity levels, dove headfirst into the magic Universal had to offer.

A Tale of Two Walkers
While I tend to be more sedentary, tipping the scale at over 220 lbs, my husband is the athletic type. Surprisingly, walking 6-10 miles daily around the parks wasn’t the challenge. It was the prolonged standing that took a toll on my legs.

Footwear Matters!
Men’s double wide Skechers Go Walk sneakers became my best friend. With foam inside, they cushioned each step, making the endless walking manageable. read more

Oshi No Ko Anime Review

Oh, where to begin with “Oshi no Ko”? The anime adaptation of this popular manga (personally I haven’t read it yet and since this series is not yet over I don’t want to spoil it for myself) but so far in just 11 episodes this anime took me on a breathtaking ride filled with emotions, artistry, and star-studded dreams. The story starts off with a feature-length premiere (almost two hours long!), setting the stage for a tale of two siblings reborn with past life memories and a mission to help their mother become an idol singer. read more

Why I’m waiting on Final Fantasy 16 to go on sale.

As someone deeply immersed in the world of JRPGs, and with an unabashed love for Final Fantasy VI, it’s with a heavy heart that I’m yet to get my hands on Final Fantasy XVI. And it’s not just nostalgia speaking; it feels like Square-Enix has lost touch with their fan base.

The term “JRPG” isn’t a negative one for me; it’s a badge of honor. It signifies everything I adore about the genre: compelling stories, memorable characters, heart-tugging emotions, fascinating secrets, and artistic brilliance. But Square-Enix seems offended by the term, striving instead to align themselves with Western-style RPGs. read more

My Steam Deck Arrived Yesterday, and Games Are Unplayable

My Valve Steam Deck 521 GB model arrived yesterday. I preordered it on day one, which feels like it was probably a year ago now. At that time, I had a lot of hopes and dreams and spoke highly of the potential of the Steam Deck in this post here. Upon receiving it, my initial excitement turned to disappointment – however; that has since changed, at least a little, as I’ve spent time getting to play with it.

@geekysweetie.com So my Steamdeck arrived today… Not sure how to feel now… I ordered a 1tb card for expansion (and have the 521gb model so that part will be sorta kjnda fixed… but most my games are not compatible with it.

It goes smoothly and everything is setup. And then the very first screen is an error about a missing library file. I restart and the error persists… After several more restarts that error goes away… read more
