♪Ruru ru, withered leaves drifting… autumn has arrived. From October 13 to October 19, 2025, 284 articles were published on 4Gamer. Incidentally, in space, the “Lemon Comet” is approaching Earth and will be at its best viewing around October 21. Named after being discovered at the Lemon Mountain Observatory in America earlier this year, it’s not because of how sour it looks. According to NASA calculations, missing this close approach means waiting until around the year 3175—so you’d have to live an extremely long life! Don’t miss out.
