Evening Reading - April 21, 2026

It's nighttime in America, which means it's time for another edition of Evening Reading.

by · Shacknews

Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday. We hope you had a good weekend and a solid Monday, and we hope you had an even better Tuesday. We had some good fighting game content drop, plenty of exciting features, and we had ourselves an amazingly chill Indie-licious today. The vibes were immaculate. But all good days must come to an end, and so, too, does this one. But we’ll leave you with a lovely Evening Reading for it. Enjoy.

In case you missed it at Shacknews…

And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

BlueSky will not be appearing tonight

BlueSky has been BSing it up all day long. Feels hard to accomplish anything there right now. Even sharing cool indies.

ShantyTown was cool

This was a very fun game that made for a very fun stream. It’s like a freeform jigsaw puzzle hidden behind cozy building vibes.

The single-player Splatoon game will be multiplayer

Pretty good, though. We can hang out with our friends and splat foes like always, even if it’s not other Inklings this time.

Stoked for more Splatoon music

Where were you when the best performance of Splatoon music dropped? Still gives me Shivers. And Fryes. and Big Mans. And the best part of Splatoon Raiders is we’ll get more of them.

Pragmata’s AI art (Not actually, don’t worry)

I saw the punchline to this joke coming a mile away and I still couldn’t keep from snickering.

A prophecy fulfilled

The Helldivers fans are thrilled with the content in the next DLC pack.

Tomodachi fans are still killing it

Maybe a little too literally this time, but it’s still funny.

Arcadia is still competing

I didn’t even really give them “ass” as a term for something dirty, but this is what they did with it. Little scamps.

There is enough love for K-Pop superstars that you could probably craft a pretty popular card game around them. Or just put them in a MtG crossover like everyone else does these days.
