Valheim devs Iron Gate AB, have put out a joke trailer for Rise/Demise of the Deer King. Players in this update would get to live their life as a deer rather than as a Viking and you know what, it's kind of cool. We've since had to adjust to a new way of life and navigate many new Elden Ring-related production challenges. In reality this guy is just messing about in a suit that reminds me of the tech in Spy Kids 3: Game Over. Great film by the way, even had Elijah Wood in it for a matter of minutes.

I am devastated to tell you that the official Fire Emblem: Three Houses tea set was revealed today on April Fools.’ The set features a gorgeous gift box, a cute tea cup and saucer, and blends of every type of tea in the game. Just to be extra cheeky, the key mainly used in the video is “F.” So you might not be able to jump or move around, but at least you’ll be able to pay your respects. To be fair, some of the transformations are a lot more odd looking.

"We’ll begin by providing you with a few basic metaphors to describe digital ledgers and the applications that they allow," the site promises. Kotex used the April Fools' Day opportunity to bring awareness to the misconception of "period stigma." And Australian based Lessons.com posted a free "lesson" on how to explain NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to older relatives. While it's a joke that the company is expanding its lessons program for those who don't have musical instruments, the Guitar Center does hope to get you interested in music. “Spend less time ordering and more time on the games you love.” An April Fools' Day TikTok showed an Echo Dot speaker describing a scenario and then emitting the smell of bacon cooking. Yuengling pranked how it could take the shower beer to the next level with "hoppily brewed" Lagér by Yuengling shampoo, conditioner and body wash. But, you are warned, "cooking with Weed Pellets may cause side effects including: severe munchies, uncontrollable giggling, spacing out and increased interest in cartoons and/or Bigfoot documentaries." … The reality is, period stigma is no joke." Companies pretty much took a pass on April Fools' Day in 2020 with the COVID-19 shutdown sinking in. Everyone loves the smell of donuts, right?

She called him and told him someone was robbing the store. Also, the rebranding wasn't deliberate or interesting enough to be seen as ridiculous, which I think has to be the basis of a corporate April Fools joke.

Chicken-wing themed uniforms in Buffalo? With ranch? The Bills were in the holiday spirit.

The Bills announced that they were releasing, or rather … not releasing, a new absurd alternate city jersey ahead of the 2022 season. “Who doesn’t love a good chicken wing logo, it’s a win-win.” The level of detail put into a fake uniform release is hilarious and noteworthy.

News that Australia has chosen the Collins class as a basis for AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine are premature. We hope.

Hopefully soon we will learn more about the real AUKUS submarine design. The AUKUS program is still ambiguous. The AUKUS submarine program came as a surprise. This year we chose the AUKUS submarine program. Not least to the preceding Attack Class submarine program. At the same time, we hope that the content is thought provoking for those with a deep understanding of submarine topics.
