Splitgate 2 is yanked back to beta a month after release
"We'll be heads down until early next year, rebuilding major parts of the game to capture the spirit of what made Splitgate special," the founders said in a post to the game's Reddit community. "That means reworking progression from the ground up, adding more portals to our maps, simplifying monetization, refocusing on classic game modes you've been asking for, and more, which we'll share soon."
Not only will the sequel go back into development, but 1047 Games is also cutting jobs. And that's after it already laid off some team members shortly after Splitgate 2 's initial release. The company said it will shut down the servers for the original Splitgate in order to reduce expenses and keep more of its team members employed.
1047 Games has been brutalized in the public eye after co-founder Ian Proulx appeared at Summer Games Fest wearing a hat that read "Make FPS Great Again," which infuriated many of the original Splitgate 's players. After the initial stance, posted to the studio's X account on Splitgate 2's release date, that he was both "not here to apologize" and that the hat was "not a political statement," Proulx finally landed on the line that it was all basically a publicity stunt .

Kylie Kelce Reveals the Kids' Shows She Won't Allow in Her Home
The podcaster speaks on the shows she does and does not allow her children to watch. Fact checked by Sarah Scott Kylie Kelce is known for speaking her mind. On the most recent episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, released on July 24, 2025, Kelce discusses her NGL 'screen time recommendations list' for this summer, as well as the 'banned list' of shows she doesn't allow her four daughters to watch—no exceptions. 'These are my personal opinions about kids' shows,' she prefaces her list. 'If you watch any of the ones that I may or may not talk some smack about, then that's great. I'm going to be honest. I have no other way to function.' Kelce, who shares Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months, with her husband, former NFL player Jason Kelce, notes that they are both aligned in their views on children's television shows. On her list of favorite shows is Bluey, Miss Rachel, and Sesame Street, where she jokes that Big Bird is 'aging like fine wine.' After sharing her favorites, and her love for the music in these shows, which she says 'slaps,' she shifts to her list of no-gos. And CoComelon is at the top of that list. 'No. Aggressively no,' Kelce states. 'So now, if CoComelon comes up on any of the screens, my daughters say, 'Oh, we're not allowed to watch that,' because I have doubled, tripled, quadrupled down. We are not watching CoComelon in our house.' Kelce is particularly adamant about CoComelon because she feels it has highly addictive qualities. 'We should question anything that locks kids in the way CoComelon locks them in,' says Kelce, a Parents Next Gen winner. Other parents have raised similar concerns about the show's fast-paced editing and animation style, questioning whether these elements may lead to overstimulation or addiction. Despite some pushback against CoComelon, the research on its potential impact is mixed. Many families love the show for its colorful animation and nursery rhymes. One parent on Reddit shared that, although their child enjoys the program, they are unaffected by it, demonstrating a healthy relationship with the show's animation and pacing, as Parents previously covered. In addition to CoComelon, Kelce has also banned Blippi, and Teletubbies. Of course, these are all shows that are very popular among families across the country. Every parent has different opinions about what they believe their children should and should not be watching. So like the Kelces, you just have to do what works best for your family.

Teen Cuts Contact with Adoptive Parents After They Missed Graduation to Buy $350 ‘Rare' Labubu for Biological Daughter
The Teen wrote on Reddit that she only got a $150 gift for her big day An 18-year-old girl is wondering if she made the right decision in cutting off her adoptive parents after they missed almost all of her graduation to buy their biological daughter a "super rare" Labubu doll. Taking to Reddit's popular "Am I the A-----" subreddit, the teen said that she felt "justified" but wanted a second opinion. She explained that her parents had fertility struggles when they adopted her as a baby. Eight years later, they welcomed their "miracle" baby — whom she referred to as Princess, now 10. "Princess was spoiled and clearly the favorite. She never got in trouble, was always right, got WHATEVER she wanted and acted HOWEVER she wanted," she explained. While she didn't say she was mistreated, she wrote that she felt "jealous" of the extra attention and gifts given to her younger sister. The recent graduate said that she mostly stays out of the house to cut contact with Princess. "Now I have a car and a boyfriend (since sophomore year). I stay with him a lot and his family loves me so I'm barely home, maybe 24 hours at most weekly. My parents didn't care and this was my normal so I stopped caring too," she wrote. The situation took a turn for the worse on the day of her graduation, which the teen said was "one of the few things I asked my parents to come to." Her excitement about the day was dulled when Princess found a way to "ruin" it. "See her current obsession are these doll plush keychains called Labubus, she collects them and that specific day, she found this super rare one for sale in our city," she wrote. "Now instead of contacting the seller and buying it the next day, my parents went to go get it." She continued, saying that they showed up so late for graduation that the students were already tossing their caps. Making it worse, she shared that the Labubu cost $350, and her graduation gift from her parents was $150. "I was hurt. After graduation, I ignored them and went home with my boyfriend. I've basically moved in with him at this point since anytime I went back 'home' it was to get my things to go back. My parents called, texted, apologized, even came over and begged me to forgive them, worst part of it all, they think it's the money and sent me another hundred dollars. I refused to talk to them," she wrote. The situation is getting more "serious," she said, sharing that her parents were "threatening to report me as missing/ a runaway and contact my future college if I don't go back home." Many Redditors rushed to assure the user that her actions were entirely justified. "Sibling favoritism is so crazy to me and i think it's so unfair to the one being treated poorly. The fact that they only thought it was about the money speaks high volumes about their character. it doesn't help their case either that they adopted you and can't show you the same love they have for their 'real' offspring," one person replied. They continued, adding, "i wouldn't forgive them nor would i go back to their house for a good while. until they can understand what they are doing is completely unacceptable." is now available in the Apple App Store!

"Been there, yo. people don't realize how much the 'little things' build up over time. you don't have to accept the bare minimum just 'cause it's coming from family. you deserve effort, too," another Redditor noted. Calling them "hurtful and dismissive," another person wrote that the girl's parents "prioritized a toy over your graduation." Others spoke to the legality of the situation, with many pointing out that she was legally an adult. Since she was 18, her parents had no control over what she also provided some advice and words of warning: "I would call your future college and explain that you are estranged from your parents. Tell them your parents are threatening to call the college and make a scene. Update all your contact info. Ask that a note be put on your profile that you do not authorize them to make any changes or obtain any information." "Honestly missing an important event like graduation for some stupid and expensive keychain, is just the straw that broke the camels back," another user commiserated. "I understand the princess being a miracle baby, but I have a feeling that in the next five to ten years your parents are really going to regret not disciplining her more."

Men Share Their Biggest First-Date Red Flags
Sometimes it all lines up on paper. Their profile says you have similar interests, life goals, and it definitely helps that they are a THIRST TRAP! But sometimes the fantasy starts and ends with a profile, and the first date reveals it allll. So when Reddit user White-Kitten8 asked men, "What's something a woman has done on a first date that completely turned you off regardless of how attractive she was?" I wanted to give us all a PSA. Do you agree with these? Let's see... "She invited her friend (without telling me) for 'security.' The restaurant was pricey, and she expected me to pay for her and her friend. It was ridiculous. Especially when they both ordered the most expensive things on the menu. I waited for them to order, told the waitress I needed some more time, but asked her to go ahead with their orders. I then went to the bathroom and left." "She ordered her meal, PLUS a meal and a salad to-go. She was absurdly gorgeous, but the audacity!" "I told her I was an EMT. Her eyes widened and she said, 'So that means you can get, like, pills and stuff, right?!?!' No. No, I can't. Have a nice life." "She first showed me a pink bag full of BDSM stuff, and disclosed that it wasn't for me. Then she showed me a picture of her ex-boyfriend's penis in a chastity cage. Yeah, there was no second date." "She brought her mom, dad, and little brother. They bought tickets behind us in the movie theatre and loomed over us the entire time. Then she got unbelievably upset at me when I didn't want to make out during the movie in front of her entire immediate family. It was so weird." "After explaining my last relationship ended because I was cheated on, she told me that she didn't believe cheating was that bad, and that she'd cheated on multiple partners. A date has never ended so fast." "She got a text from someone named 'Ryan' when we were sitting in her car that said, 'We had plans tonight. No call?' Then 'Ryan' showed up at her house, and he was not happy." "She invited me to her home to have a bottle of wine. I asked what kind she preferred. She said red. So I brought two bottles of something really nice. She said, 'Oh, you brought so much alcohol. I hope you're not thinking we're having sex.' Then she told me how her boss was the most important man in her life, who actually helped her emotionally and physically, and made insinuations on how they were having an affair." "She yelled, 'Well, this is boring,' in the middle of a crowded restaurant. I didn't even realize she had an issue. We'd been talking up until that point. I finished my food, said I was going to the restroom, I paid for myself, then left." "She had a smelly apartment with rabbits running around. She also 'needed' to smoke weed before we got intimate. Nothing against weed, but 'needs?' Argh." "She told me that she's immune to COVID, cause apparently, 'Disease is a state of mind, and if you don't believe you will get sick, you won't. A negative mindset is what lets it in.' Yeah, it's a 'yikes' for me, dawg." "She started talking about how many kids we were going to have, and when and where she would want our wedding to be. She's married with kids now, so well done?" "We went ice skating with my friends. She intentionally ignored me the whole time. When she needed help or had a question, she only talked to my guy friends. When I tried to ice skate near her, she said, 'I like to go fast,' and would skate away." "She took a shot of whiskey in her mouth, kissed me, and squirted the alcohol into my mouth. I wasn't expecting it and choked. Whiskey really burns down the airway." "I went on a blind date, and once we got into my car, she lit up a cigarette. I don't date smokers, so I told her that it wouldn't work out, and she should get out. She was a smokeshow, both physically and literally. What a shame." "She complained about her ex-husband incessantly. Literally, the whole entire night. They had been divorced for eight years." "I kissed her, she kissed me back, then kindly pushed me after about 10 seconds. We talked more, then she kissed me, so I kissed her back, then she pushed me away. After four times, I got tired. When I went back home, she messaged asking me why I didn't push for it more." "I hooked up with a woman at a friend's wedding, then went to dinner with her the next weekend. Twenty minutes into the date, she asked how much was in my bank account. She got mad and left when I asked why she wanted to know." "One told me I looked like my bathroom was clean. There wasn't a second date." "She started picking her teeth with her extremely long nails after eating." "She got so drunk that I had to look after her. I don't mind drinking, but you are your own responsibility." "I was at a bar once, and this pretty girl came over and told me she was on a date, but he was boring, so she came over to talk to me. I said, 'Wait…so you just ditched him? Wtf!' Then she got MAD." "She was more than a little mean to our young waitress, who handled it well, but shouldn't have had to. I was stunned. Particularly as she also worked in the hospitality industry. Maybe it was some sort of weird flex?" "She bragged about dropping out of high school and having a job that allowed her to rent a room from her mother." And finally: "She was on her phone the whole time." In the comments or the anonymous form, tell me the biggest question mark, red flag, or pet peeve someone has shown on a first date. For me, I don't like it when people aren't upfront about their interest in you and frame a date as "hanging out." My now-husband asked me on a date the second time we met, and his blunt intentions were veryyyy sexy. For more fun content, make sure you follow BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram for more!
