There are 3 comets currently gracing the evening sky, one visible in the morning sky.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is too faint and will remain so.
C/2025 R1 (SWAN) is putting on a show at this time; C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) should get much brighter after Perihelion.
Objects at Mag 6.5 and below can be seen with the naked eye, 9.5 and below using binoculars, under dark and clear skies.

3/nComets C/2025 R2 (SWAN) and C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will be closest to Earth around Oct 20 and will both be visible in the evening sky shortly after sunset over the next two weeks.
See graphics below for their location in the evening sky and some vital statistics.
It is best to observe them using binoculars. Also, smart phone cameras are quite good at imaging comets even when they are not visible to the naked eye.

7/nOutstanding image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), along with a diffuse aurora, taken by astro-photographer Josh Dury from Mendip Hills, Somerset, U.K., after sunset on Oct 12 or 13, 2025.
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is currently at magnitude 4.7, bright enough to be seen by the naked eye under good observing conditions. Better seen with binoculars. It will brighten further to mag 4.1 during closest approach on Oct 21.

The short thick dust tail and the long ion tail can be seen distinctly in this image.
The dust tail, consisting of vaporized ejecta from the comet, points behind the comet's track and slightly away from the sun, while the ion tail, made of ionized gases, points along the streamlines of the solar wind.

@videogiochi per chi ne fosse interessato aggiungo una recensione di IGN:
https://it.ign.com/simon-the-sorcerer-origins/221679/review/simon-the-sorcerer-origins-la-recensione
In generale, come detto, Smallthing Studios ha rispettato lo spirito della serie e realizzato un'esperienza divertente, nella sua irriverenza, senza per questo lasciare indietro la sfida. Anzi, è ben chiaro a chi intende rivolgersi il gioco e non è proprio a un pubblico casual, oppure moderno che dir si voglia: Simon the Sorcerer Origins mantiene le spigolature tipiche dei punta e clicca del loro tempo, e in alcuni casi pecca di poca chiarezza spingendo spesso al classico approccio del "le provo tutte, prima o poi otterrò qualcosa" (c'è persino un trofeo dedicato). Passata la prima ora in cui capiamo le meccaniche di base, il gioco aumenta il proprio picco di difficoltà: i fattori sono molteplici e com'è tipico di queste avventure, occorre pensare tantissimo fuori dagli schemi per raggiungere la soluzione, sebbene non si arrivi alle follie tipiche di Monkey Island (il pollo con la carrucola vi dice qualcosa?).
Questo implica, come già accennato, che i veterani del genere avranno pochi problemi ad adottare il giusto approccio, mentre le nuove leve potrebbero riscontrare qualche difficoltà soprattutto a fronte della totale mancanza di aiuti da parte del gioco. Non tutte le azioni sono immediate come appaiono, o come forse potrebbero anche essere dopo trent'anni senza per questo piallare il livello di complessità; ad esempio, è frequente la necessità di interagire più volte con un personaggio per scucirgli le informazioni, o portare avanti il dialogo, anche quando lui stesso si è offerto di aiutarci esortandoci a fargli domande - anziché proseguire, la conversazione si interrompe e noi dobbiamo insistere affinché si apra il ventaglio di richieste che gli possiamo fare.

Nel 2026 uscirà il vinile di Zelda
E allora ditelo che volete male al mio conto in banca!
da https://www.spaziogames.it/notizie/nintendo-lancia-vinili-di-zelda-in-occidente-2025-10-29
La musica di The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sta per compiere un salto inedito nel mercato occidentale, e per Nintendo rappresenta molto più di una semplice uscita discografica. L'azienda di Kyoto ha infatti annunciato che la colonna sonora del celebre gioco arriverà in formato vinile grazie a una collaborazione con Laced Records, segnando una svolta storica nella strategia commerciale dell'azienda nipponica. Si tratta della primissima volta che Nintendo distribuisce un disco in vinile nei mercati occidentali, un esperimento che potrebbe aprire la strada a una nuova linea di prodotti fisici dedicati alle sue iconiche soundtrack.
L'uscita è prevista per il 19 giugno 2026 e si articolerà su due proposte distinte per soddisfare sia i collezionisti occasionali che i veri appassionati. La versione base consisterà in un doppio LP contenente 34 brani selezionati dalla colonna sonora del gioco, proposto al prezzo di 49,99 dollari. Per chi invece desidera l'esperienza completa, sarà disponibile un cofanetto da otto dischi con ben 130 tracce al costo di 194,99 dollari. Entrambe le edizioni saranno commercializzate sia in vinile nero standard che in una tiratura limitata con vinili colorati e illustrazioni stampate direttamente sui dischi.
