Goddess of Victory: NIKKE “B-SIDE IDOL” update brings SSR Mint, rerun banners, new costumes, and more

Okay, so I just unlocked Mint, and she’s awesome! She’s a super popular singer and the leader of this group called T.T. STAR. She’s a Supporter, meaning she helps my team, and she’s really versatile. Depending on whether she’s using her special ability – her Burst Skill – she can either buff my allies to make them stronger, or heal them up when they’re hurting. It’s like getting two Supporters in one!

The 15 TV shows we’re excited about this summer

Apple TV+’s new series, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” has a title that hints at adult content, but at its heart, it’s a showcase for Tatiana Maslany’s talent. Maslany plays Paula, a soccer mom and fact-checker going through a messy divorce, who finds unexpected connection with someone online. When she witnesses an attack on this man during a video session, she starts investigating, quickly finding herself in a dangerous situation. She soon finds herself evading criminals and the police – particularly a standout detective played by Dolly De Leon – on a thrilling adventure. Paula is flawed and relatable, and Maslany excels at portraying complex characters. Overall, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” looks like a darkly humorous and emotionally honest thriller that lives up to its name. — Mary McNamara

A camboy scam, murder and custody fight: Inside ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’

I’m hooked on the new Apple TV+ series, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.” The show starts with Paula, a recently divorced mom, really letting it all out to a cam performer online. It quickly goes sideways when I realize he wasn’t just being a good listener – he was using her, and she ends up witnessing a kidnapping and getting caught in a ransom scheme! Things get even crazier when the cam performer is murdered, and Paula is suddenly trying to figure out what happened and prove she wasn’t involved. To top it all off, her ex-husband, Karl, is making everything worse. He’s moved across the country from Brooklyn to Boise, Idaho, and is using the move to fuel their already difficult custody battle. It’s a lot for her to handle, and I’m definitely invested in seeing how it all plays out.
