Jmcrofts recently teamed up with GuileWinQuote to uncover some of the most obscure secrets that can be found in SNK fighting games. A video was recently released that had both content creators revealing five fun Easter eggs each.
GuileWinQuote started off by talking about Samurai Shodown 2, originally released back in 1994. Although there aren’t any taunts in Samurai Shodown 2, each character has a distinct set of inputs that can temporarily transform them into chibi recreations of themselves.
It’s funny that the inputs required to do this are actually quite complex. This was seemingly done to exclude the possibility of players accidentally pulling it off. Additionally, doing this doesn’t actually have any advantages, so it might as well just be a really long taunt that requires a complicated series of inputs.
Following this, Jmcrofts brings mention to the judge in the background of each stage. Under certain conditions, he will actually challenge the player as a secret boss fight.
His name is Kukoro. Although he looks a little goofy fighting with flags, he’s actually a crazy challenging encounter for any player.
Later in the video, Jmcrofts highlights a secret win animation for Choi in King of Fighters ’98. It requires probably the most convoluted variables in play for it to happen. As such, Jmcrofts refers to this as the “rarest Easter egg” as it’s probably impossible to see it without a guide in hand.
I hope you all had a holy and happy Easter, sharing your joy in the Resurrection with the ones you love.
This Easter season, I have been reflecting on the virtue of hope, as we celebrate the Jubilee Year of Hope declared by Pope Francis.
I’ve been reflecting on the meaning of hope and also on what it is that we hope for.
Although everyone is different, it seems that there are certain hopes we have in common.
We all hope for love and happiness in our lives and in our families; we hope for work that will sustain our families; we hope that our loved ones will be kept free from evil.
We also hope that our children will grow to know and love Jesus and find love and happiness in their lives. We hope that our elders will grow old with grace and good health and that eventually they will have a good and holy death and go to heaven.
We hope for peace in the world and in our neighborhoods and communities.
These hopes form the substance of people’s everyday prayers, worries, and dreams. To realize these hopes, people will often make sacrifices and put off satisfying their own immediate needs and wants.
But these daily hopes are not enough. Our hearts need a greater hope, we need God.
The great hope that we all share is to know that our lives matter, that we make a difference, that there is a reason and purpose for our lives, and that our sufferings and hardships are not all for nothing.
We all hope for a love that is pure and true, a love that transcends this mortal life, a love that will last forever. And we all hope that death is not the end, that this earthly life is not all there is.
These are hopes that can be found in every human heart, in every time and place.
Easter is God’s answer to everything that we hope for.
In Jesus, the living God comes to reveal himself in human flesh, he comes to show us his face and open his heart for us.
Jesus reveals that we are loved and that our lives have a purpose in God’s plan.
He gives a path to walk and promises that if we walk this path with him, if we live by his teaching and example, then we will find happiness and love in this life and live with him forever in his kingdom, in a love that never ends!
This is the beautiful hope that we have as Catholics. It is a hope born out of the blood that Jesus shed for us on the cross.
This Year of Hope invites us, once again, to establish our lives on the strong foundation of this hope that we have in Jesus, the hope of salvation, the hope of glory, the hope of eternal life.
By this hope we know that this world is not our home, that we are just passing through our way to a better country, a heavenly one.
By this hope we know that whatever happens in our lives, whatever sufferings we’re asked to bear, whatever dark valleys we’re called to walk, Jesus goes with us, and he will give us the strength we need.
Hope means trusting in God’s plan, no matter where he leads us. In sickness and health, in tragedy and sorrow, in joy and good fortune.
One of the saints said, “I am definitely loved and whatever happens to me, I am awaited by this Love. And so my life is good.”
Our life is good, too. And we know that our life is bound for glory.
Jesus will love us until the end. And we know that when our earthly life is over, the God who is Love will be waiting to welcome us.
Jesus left us the gift of the Eucharist as a pledge of the glory to come.
The apostles and early Church Fathers used to call the Eucharist “the medicine of immortality, the antidote of death, and the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ.”
In this year of hope, I pray that all of us in the Church will recover that same awareness that by sharing in his body and blood we will live forever, and he will raise us up on the last day.
Pray for me and I will pray for you.
And during this Easter season in the Year of Hope, let us ask holy Mary, the Mother of Hope, to keep us always close to her Son, knowing that he is leading us to the hope that awaits us in heaven.

A Nigerian woman, Culater Enkay, has claimed that 70-80% of divorced women are dating married men. The post 70-80% of divorced women are dating married men – Nigerian woman says appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
Mrs. Shimite Bello Love (née Nwakalo), Special Adviser to the Delta State Governor on Trade and Export, has died under circumstances that have sparked serious suspicion and controversy.
Popularly known as Madam Sabificate, Shimite allegedly died of poisoning on Easter Sunday. Family sources told SaharaReporters that her husband, Pastor David Favour Love, has been arrested by the police following allegations that he poisoned her. Witnesses claimed she was foaming at the mouth before her death.
The late adviser reportedly passed away at St. Luke’s Hospital, Asaba, where she was rushed for emergency treatment.
Shimite, who contested the Oshimili North constituency seat in the Delta State House of Assembly during the 2023 PDP primaries, had previously served as the Executive Secretary of the Delta State Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency during Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s administration.
She was also the Group President/CEO of the Quintessential Group—a conglomerate comprising NGOs, social enterprises, and companies operating in agriculture and solid minerals.
A family member, who requested anonymity, told SaharaReporters that Shimite was in good health just a day before her death.
“I spoke with her for over an hour on Saturday. She was vibrant and told me about a meeting she had earlier attended. Nothing was wrong with her,” the source said. “On Sunday, I sent her Easter messages, but she didn’t reply—which was unusual.”
According to the source, the family’s alarm was raised when Shimite’s maid called her elder brother, expressing concern that the husband had locked Shimite in the house all day.
“Her brother rushed over and found her inside the house with foam already coming out of her mouth. He took her to the hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival. The police were immediately called and arrested her husband.”
Family members allege that Shimite’s husband had isolated her from loved ones and tightly controlled her movements.
“Since he came into her life, he cut everyone off. Her brother couldn’t even visit. He wouldn’t let her go to the office. He was always trailing her. Even the name on all her properties in Abuja and elsewhere was changed to his name. We believe she was manipulated—hypnotised even,” a family source said.
“If she were not hypnotised, which woman with her right senses would do such? What kind of love is that your husband would follow you everywhere you went, and you wouldn’t see anything wrong with that? Your husband would lock you in and not allow you to go to the office?
“Anytime you tell Shimite about certain things, she would tell you, ‘Don’t worry, my husband is a pastor. He’s my spiritual father. He sees everything.’ It’s very unfortunate Shimite had to learn the hard way. How could a special adviser to a governor just die like that?”
Sources close to the family described Pastor David as “overprotective” and “jealous,” and suggested he was intimidated by Shimite’s prominence and beauty.
“The man had nothing before meeting her. He only came to drain her. It’s heartbreaking.”
Efforts to reach the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, were unsuccessful, as his mobile line was unreachable at the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, Shimite’s body has been deposited in the mortuary as police investigations into her death continue.
There’s no shortage of ways to make money in GTA 5, including a fully functional stock market where you can invest your ill-gotten gains to make a clean profit. But just like real life, you’ll need to first understand how the market works, which stocks to invest in, and at what times. Simply put, you’re neither a bear nor a bull, just a clever opportunist whose actions dictate the fate of specific holdings. If you want some of that Wall Street action, this guide is for you. So suit up and dive in as we show you the absolute best stocks to buy in GTA 5 right here.
How Does the GTA 5 Stock Market Work?
GTA 5 has two separate stock markets: the LCN Exchange (Liberty City National) and BAWSAQ. The former is entirely offline, meaning the in-game events influence how the market moves. As for the latter, BAWSAQ is an online market that requires an internet connection to function.
All stock movement on this market is mainly driven by the community, but your actions in specific missions can cause significant short-term effects.

To access the GTA 5 stock markets, bring up the phone while playing as any character and click on the Internet icon. Then, select the Money and Services tab, and you’ll find options for both the LCN and BAWSAQ.
Another important point to remember is that market volatility occurs over multiple in-game hours. So, if you’re betting on a stock’s value to rise or decline, you’ll need to skip ahead by sleeping to avoid staring at your screen for multiple real-life hours. Depending on which of the three protagonists you’ve chosen, the number of sleeps required can differ, but you’re typically looking at 3-4 times to skip a whole day.
Best GTA 5 Stocks to Buy
The best GTA 5 stocks to buy are all linked to in-game missions where you assassinate a prominent figure associated with a corporation. Naturally, this causes the company’s stock to collapse while its rivals see an immediate upturn. To profit from this, you’ll need to purchase the holdings we’ve described in each entry before the mission, and then sell them once their value rises.
Before you start this twisted version of insider trading, it’s best to make sure that your bank is loaded for maximum profit. For this, we recommend progressing past The Paleto Score, at the very least. With that, here are the best GTA 5 story mode stocks to invest in:
1. Betta Pharmaceuticals and Bilkinton Research (The Hotel Assassination)
Image Credit: Rockstar Games/GTA 5
The first assassination mission will task Franklin with taking out Brett Lowrey, the CEO of Bilkinton Research. The game offers two ways to approach this, with the first being a classic long-range execution, and the other involves planting a bomb in his vehicle.
Before starting the mission, dump all your money into Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET), which is listed on BAWSAQ. After taking out Lowrey, wait two in-game hours, and then head over to your portfolio to find a return of 50%.
The other stock linked to this mission is Bilkinton Research (BIL) itself. Following the assassination of its CEO, the company’s stock declines rapidly. So, head over to LCN and buy the dip. After making the purchase, wait 72 in-game hours and then sell the stock for a potential return of up to 100%.
2. Debonaire and Redwood Cigarettes (The Multi-Target Assassination)
Image Credit: Rockstar Games/GTA 5
In this mission, Lester asks Franklin to take care of four corrupt Jurors who are presiding over a case surrounding Redwood Cigarettes. With a nine-minute deadline and four different targets, completing this one might be tricky.
Fortunately, there’s plenty of reward in store for your efforts. Before starting the mission, make sure to deposit all your money into Debonaire (DEB), which is listed on the LCN. Once it’s done, wait two in-game days and then return to your portfolio to cash out for a 60% return.
Now it’s time to profit off Redwood Cigarette’s misery, so wait until RWC plummets to as low as possible, which can take up to two in-game days. Purchase tons of the stock and wait for at least 72 in-game hours before selling for a massive potential return of 300%.
3. Fruit Computers and Facade (The Vice Assassination)
The Vice Assassinations has you manipulating the stocks of two tech giants by taking out Jackson Skinner, the product development head at Facade. The mission is pretty straightforward as you head to his location and are free to kill Skinner however you please.
Before starting the mission, make a wise decision and pool your money into Fruit Computers (FRT) on BAWSAQ. Then, wait 48 in-game hours and hit the sell button for a 50% return.
The second stock you’ll be purchasing is Facade (FAC), also on BAWSAQ, which suffers a steep decline, soon after the mission. Buy the dip and skip through 48 in-game hours for a solid 35% return.
This is another straightforward assassination mission, and you also have to purchase just one stock on this occasion. The target is Isaac Penny, a venture capitalist looking to gain a controlling share in Vapid Motors. To take him out, Franklin has to cosplay as a bus driver and wait for the right moment to get rid of Penny.
Vapid (VAP) is the only stock involved here, so open up the BAWSAQ website and buy it after two in-game hours have passed since completing the mission. Now, wait for two in-game days and keep an eye on the market. Once the potential return hits 100%, sell off your holdings.
The final assassination mission from Lester is easily the most action-packed of the lot. In it, Franklin heads to a construction site swarming with security to take out Enzo Bonelli, a crooked real estate developer whose demise leads to a surge in the value of Gold Coast Development.
Before you take on the mission, head to LCN and purchase Gold Coast (GCD) in large quantities. Once Bonelli is out of the picture, wait two in-game hours and return to your portfolio to cash in on a potential return of 75%.
Completing these missions and selling off the stocks at the right moment are sure to fetch you a ton of money. As such, these are the best stocks to get in GTA 5. After trying it out for yourself, be sure to let us know about your biggest haul in the comments below!
Manchester United are eyeing up a sensational double signing for the second summer in a row, this time targeting two exciting midfielders.
Last summer saw the Bayern Munich duo of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui arrive at Old Trafford as The Red Devils looked to strengthen their defence.
Whilst the pair were signed under Erik ten Hag for a 4-4-2 system with Mazraoui set for his natural right-back role, the duo have become essential parts of Ruben Amorim’s back three.
Mazraoui has adapted perfectly to fit in as a right-sided centre-back, being one of Amorim’s most used players, whilst de Ligt has only missed out on game-time due to injury.
Now, United are looking to make a double move again, however, from somewhere much closer to home.

Manchester United line up move for Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham
UtdDistrict has reported that United are looking to sign the midfield duo of Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland this summer.
The Red Devils have been monitoring the pair for some time as part of their new recruitment strategy of signing young stars with heaps of potential.
The duo are regarded as two of the most exciting young midfielders in England, with a move for the pair expected to cost around £60 million.
United’s interest in the pair is reported as “very high” with other top Premier League sides such as Chelsea also monitoring the talented duo.
The Red Devils have reportedly already made contact with Sunderland over a move for Rigg, however, the 17-year-old wants to wait until the end of the season to make any decisions on his future.

Pope Francis has passed away.
The real regret & tragedy is not his death, but rather his unrepentant falsehoods which he spread for the last 12 years.

Pope Francis, groundbreaking Jesuit pontiff, dies aged 88
Death of 267th head of Catholic church triggers period of global mourning and Vatican conclave of cardinals to elect successor
ANGELA GIUFFRIDA & HARRIET SHERWOOD for THE GUARDIAN
Pope Francis, the pontiff revered by millions of Catholics around the world whose popular appeal reached far beyond his global congregation, has died at the age of 88.
Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo, said: “At 7.35 this morning, the bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his church.″
Francis, who had chronic lung disease and had part of one lung removed as a young man, was admitted to Gemelli hospital in Rome on 14 February for a respiratory crisis that developed into double pneumonia. He spent 38 days there, the longest hospitalisation of his 12-year papacy.
The pontiff, who was discharged from hospital on 23 March, made his last public appearance on Sunday, when he briefly spoke to the crowds gathered in St Peter’s Square for Easter mass.
In recent weeks, he left his home in Casa Santa Marta on several other occasions, including visiting prisoners at Rome’s Regina Coeli prison on Thursday and making a surprise visit to St Peter’s Basilica, wearing plain attire, a week before.
Loved by many Catholics for his humility, Francis simplified rites for papal funerals last year and previously said he had already planned his tomb in the basilica Santa Maria Maggiore in the Esquilino neighbourhood in Rome, where he went to pray before and after trips overseas. Popes are usually buried with much fanfare in the grottoes beneath St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.
Amid intense mourning over the coming days and weeks, manoeuvring within the Vatican over who is to succeed Francis and become the 268th head of the Catholic church is certain to begin. Cardinals from around the world will head to Rome for a conclave, the secret, complex election ritual held in the Sistine Chapel and involving about 138 cardinals who are eligible to vote.
Some of the potential contenders mooted before Francis’s death were Matteo Zuppi, a progressive Italian cardinal, Pietro Parolin, who serves as the Vatican’s secretary of state, and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, from the Philippines.

President Bola Tinubu on Monday congratulated Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, former Governor of Abia State and Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, on his 65th birthday.
Tinubu reflected on their enduring friendship and shared commitment to national progress, rooted in their membership of the “Class of ’99” Governors, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President’s spokesman, said in a statement.
The President extolled the former Majority Whip’s unwavering patriotism, recalling decades of collaboration marked by mutual respect, even with political differences.
He lauded Kalu’s entrepreneurial spirit, as epitomised in his establishment of Slok Holding and investments in banking and the media, ventures that have created hundreds of jobs.
“Sen. Kalu, my friend, is a patriot whose life embodies resilience, generosity, and the transformative power of visionary leadership.
“On this milestone, I celebrate his contributions to our nation’s economic and political tapestry,” President Tinubu stated.
He prayed to God Almighty to grant Kalu renewed strength, wisdom, and many more years of impactful service to Nigeria and humanity.
