There's a host of special resources and materials to gather in the game. This guide on How To Mine In Genshin Impact explains the basics of mining special materials from mining nodes, such as Iron and other precious metals that you may discover later in the game because in Genshin Impact, you don't use a pickaxe.
When you are exploring in Genshin Impact, you will notice many resources around the landscape. Usually they shine or are lit up with lights, making it clearly obvious what items you can gather and harvest. Resources have a lot of uses so there's a good chance, at some point or another, you're going to need a horde of each material for something or other.
How To Mine In Genshin Impact
When you eventually discover a mining node, you will notice that you cannot harvest it like you can other resources. You can try using basics attacks but this also has no effect on the rocks you can mine. Instead, you need to use your elemental attacks.
It's R2 on the PlayStation 4 but you can check the lower right screen for the buttons on your platform. The elemental attacks take time to recharge so you can't use it constantly, but you can usually harvest an entire node using a single ability – so it's not difficult to harvest the nodes.
- Find mining nodes (rock-like objects that shimmer and shine)
- Approach the rock and get within melee range
- Hold the elemental attack button to launch an elemental attack
- Once the rock breaks you can harvest the Iron or other materials.

The bygone days of Micro Machines were all fine and dandy, but what if you were to raise these pint-sized stakes to something a little bigger? Rumbora Party Games lays it all on the line with their new title Tinker Racers, a top-down racer with an elimination edge. Should you put the pedal to the metal, or does this racer blow it at the starting line?
Tinker Racers Review
The perspective and general control scheme made famous decades ago is alive and well in Tinker Racers. Players will speed along offices, bedrooms, and kitchens in a top down viewpoint, drifting at every turn and outpacing their opponents. Threats include cutting board ramps, runaway marbles, and the odd stapler across each track.
However, in the main campaign mode, it's not enough that you win – others must fail. In order to get ahead, players must lead the pack and leave others in the dust. By getting in the lead and having the camera get your opponents out of frame, you can eliminate the competition and score a point, with the first person to five points winning the round.
This proposition certainly keeps players on their toes, especially when threats stand in the way between you and victory. While the control scheme plays it fast and loose with drifts along every turn, this system provides a number of clutch moments. The AI is balanced just right, without coming across as brain dead or overly cheap. The environment can often be a bigger obstacle than the rival racers, but familiarity and memorization help a great deal – just like the best arcade racers on the market.
It also pays to know the environments in Tinker Racers due to the health mechanic in its campaign mode. Your ride can get damaged, with it starting at 100% and gradually deteriorating with any bump along the way. Though we appreciate this mechanic, we never came across any instance where we were in any danger.
Though the Campaign of Tinker Racers can be finished fairly quickly, there is a fair amount to keep players going. A Dark Mode can be unlocked, while Time Trials with developer times are just begging to be beaten. Single Races with five laps can also be jumped into, though tracks must be unlocked. Finally, a Free for All mode serves as a way to enjoy the title with less pressure. In all, the 32 achievements based on times, scores, and finishing tracks will keep players racing.
Just be warned that there is little variety between each track. Though there are multiple tracks, expect to see the same worlds multiple times. Seeing the sixth version of a bedroom track just lacks the impact of a fresh environment.
Tinker Racers pint-sized racers put the pressure on with its elimination-based gameplay. Though this title favors crazy drifting over tight controls, those who can get a grip on its mechanics will have fun trouncing the competition.

Starting September 30, players will be able to experience a fall wonderland in Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons as part of a free update.
Players will be able to grow pumpkins by paying a visit to Leif (year-round) or from Nook's Cranny (during October). From there, players can take advantage of a number of pumpkin-based DIY projects.
Halloween costumes like a mage's dress can be yours at the Able Sisters shop throughout October. Body paint and colored eye contacts can also be yours by exchanging Nook Miles. Halloween DIY projects from your fellow residents can be found, and neighbors will also get into the spooky spirit on Halloween night with their own costumes.
After 5pm on October 31, neighbors will make their way to the decorated plaza. The mysterious guest Jack wants lollipops and candy, and giving him what he wants will earn you spooky in-game rewards. Save some candy for your neighbors as well, or you might find yourself getting pranked. New Reactions to properly express your feelings of fear can also be learned.
To make things easier, players can easily revisit dreams from a list.

Cosplay Wednesday – Crash Bandicoot (Harajuku Style)
The world of gaming's biggest orange marsupial returns with Toys for Bob's upcoming release of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. In honor of this retro revival, Gamers Heroes takes a look at a unique rendition of the main character.
Modeled by Ellie, Australian photographer KayleighJune got these unique shots of Crash Bandicoot in a Harajuku style. This is part of a project that she did with Leisa Stephenson (who did the makeup), where they take inspiration from specific video games and combine it with the Japanese Harajuku style to create a series of fashion images. To complete the look, Carly Lancaster did the styling.
Though she mentioned that this is not cosplay, we are willing to bend the rules and feature it as part of our segment this week.
Crash Bandicoot Harajuku Style Photography
Her tool of the trade is a Canon EOS 5D Mark II w/ 50mm, 85mm f1.2L, and 24-70mm f2.8L lenses.
You can find KayleighJune on DeviantArt here, on Facebook here, and on Twitter here.
