The divide highlights a core question in FromSoftware design: does raw challenge deliver fun, or does it need fair openings to strike back?

YouTuber Shirrako captured the frustration perfectly with one line: 'It's okay to admit that this is not a fun boss fight,' paired with a screenshot of the towering Promised Consort Radahn.

Iranian accounts claim construction started last week on the 657-kilometer Herat-Mazar-e-Sharif railway in Afghanistan, built by Iranian firms and funded by local minerals for a seamless connection to China. Proponents see it as a sanctions workaround via the Five Nations Corridor, potentially slashing trade distances by 50% and opening paths for pipelines. No confirmation comes from Iran's Railways, Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Works, or state media, despite recent Tehran talks on June 8 and ongoing feasibility studies. The project follows years of delays, with security and funding hurdles still in play.

The 2026 World Cup introduced a new fan-focused ceremony where competing nations' flags are laid across the field in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Saudi Arabia's flag bears the Shahada, declaring faith in Allah and Muhammad, while Iraq's features 'Allahu Akbar' in Kufic script—both revered in Muslim tradition and kept off the ground. This adjustment started in Saudi Arabia's opener against Uruguay on June 15 in Miami Gardens and Iraq's match against France, with opponents' flags also elevated for balance. A FIFA spokesperson noted close work with teams to meet such requests amid the 48-team tournament.
