Evening Reading - May 19, 2026

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

by · Shacknews

Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Thursday. We hope you’ve enjoyed the content as always. It was a bit of a wacky day with a lot of different AI nonsense going on in tech, but we tried to balance it out with fun things like our Yoshi and the Mysterious Book review and a great Marvel Cosmic Invasion livestream. However, all days of posting have to come to an end, so here’s the Evening Reading to do it. Enjoy!

In case you missed it at Shacknews…

And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s DLC is A+

The Thing and Cyclops are another layer of greatness in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Cyclops' slides and beams made for a great evasive offense and The Thing? Just see for yourself. Awesome. 😂 #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev @dotemu.bsky.social  @tributegames.com

We were switching between games of basketball and whack-a-mole with The Thing on the fly in today’s Indie-licious.

Become ungovernable. Become fist.

How they gonna dodge  when you punch them with your whole body? Only MvC 2’s Spiral knows.

The dream big-body team

They already got Hulk, but they should put the other two in Tokon somehow (yeah, even Mike Haggar).

Good things are happening for normal people other places in the world

I wish our government would start lifting us up instead of serving its own interests.

Cyberchunk, you’ve done it again

The only thing more incredible than Cybertrucks are thepeople who would willingly buy a Cybertruck.

A Glorious AI future

I feel like I had the same as this audience while I watched Google I/O today, but at least they got to see something funny. I only got to see AI make a bad Doom clone.

Grabbing starlight from the skies in Tears of the Kingdom

If you’re not watching Dealer’s Choice, you’re missing some splendid moments.
