     Nvidia RTX 4000 GPUs are reportedly up for grabs in Hong Kong

Nvidia RTX 4000 GPUs are scheduled to arrive next month, but custom RTX 4090 models are already on sale in Hong Kong. The card's street vendor debut could mean there's plenty of stock to go around, but picking one up this early will upset your wallet.

     Diablo 3 is basically Stardew Valley, says Google

Diablo 3 is a Stardew Valley-style farming game - bet you didn't see that coming. Turns out when you search the game on UK Google the search engine classifies it as more of a cosy, laid-back experience; yet, that doesn't ring true, does it?

     Starfield event could reveal more information about the Bethesda RPG

A big Bethesda in-person event in Australia might hold some Starfield news, as the upcoming space RPG game hasn't had much in the way of new information, gameplay, or a pre-order date recently. I'm sure places like the Starfield Reddit will detail exactly what goes down and what the event can tell us about the game.

     The best io games in 2022

On the lookout for the best io games? If you're over the age of 20, you might not be aware of the genre; accessible browser-based games that range from offline to MMO experiences. No need to clear any room on your hard drive - these games can be played on anything from low-specced machines to the best gaming PCs. All the heavy lifting is done on the website to ensure you can play these games anywhere.

They conjure up images of sitting bored at school or work and looking for something to keep you occupied that'll make it past your network's filters. The term 'io games' actually refers to the '.io' domain, but that's not the only element that bonds these games. The genre blossomed from the popularity of Agar.io, and so most of these games emulate the gameplay of Agar and involve moving around, hoovering up smaller creatures than you.

As the Modern Warfare 2 beta draws to a close, a new datamine of the Activision and Infinity Ward FPS seems to suggest that the worst and most loathsome villain of perhaps the entire Call of Duty series could be making a comeback when the Modern Warfare 2 release date arrives on October 28, alongside a fan-favourite character being playable in a mainline CoD campaign for the first time.

     Genshin Impact Nilou team – the best team comp

On the hunt for the best Genshin Impact Nilou team comp? Nilou is the five-star Hydro user set to make her debut as part of the highly anticipated Genshin Impact 3.1 update – more specifically, her Genshin Impact banner is due to release in the second phase of the anime game's update. Nilou's graceful nature and dance-oriented moveset might seem underwhelming at first blush, but looks can be deceiving. Unlike most Genshin Impact characters who rely upon creating elemental reactions to achieve their full potential, Nilou is able to transfigure them into even more powerful reactions.

Unfortunately, Nilou's main drawback lies in the limitations of her effective team comps. The effects of her indispensable Court of Dancing Petals passive skill are only available with a Dendro-Hydro team composition. Therefore, Nilou must only be paired with Dendro and Hydro characters to ensure she's performing optimally. This obviously restricts your elemental synergies to Bloom, but given the best Genshin Impact Nilou build revolves entirely around generating Bountiful Cores, this isn't the worst restriction in the world. Here is the best Genshin Impact Nilou team comp currently available, as well as a viable free-to-play alternative.

When Grounded released into early access a little over two years ago, it immediately became a personal favourite. The story wasn't complete and the garden was rather basic, but one encounter with the wolf spider proved that this was far more than a pile of mulch. With two years of updates layering new enemies, items, biomes, dungeons, and quests onto that healthy foundation, Grounded has blossomed into a perennial survival game that sits comfortably among the very best of the genre.

penny blood armed fantasia jewel alchemy modules header

It is the final week before the Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood Kickstarter closes, and the last Mechanics Monday gave us a look at Armed Fantasia's Modules and Penny Blood's Jewel Alchemy. As a reminder, major additions are only possible due to the games reaching their individual stretch goals. There are also some new stretch goals, both hidden and revealed.

[gallery columns="1" ids="936356" link="file"]

Armed Fantasia will have a Treasure Map mini-game, Battle Arena, and achievement system. You will use the Treasure Map's hints in order to find hidden items, with some of them being ones that can help you in exploring the map. As for the Battle Arena, you can fight against stronger variants of monsters from the story. Some battles may put special conditions on you, though it is unknown what those conditions are. Finally, the achievement system shows statistics such as how much of the map you've explored. The higher your stats, the more rewards you can get.

There are also some new stretch goals for Armed Fantasia. Depending on how much money they get, we might see three more ARM types, Survival Battles, Prologue Chapters, and a Challenge Dungeon. The Prologue Chapters will feature playable dungeons and battles for each of the main trio. This will naturally extend the game's overall play time.

[gallery ids="936357,936358,936359" link="file"]

In Armed Fantasia, you can purchase ARMs and Modules in Order-controlled shops. What Rank you or your team is will affect what ARMs you can purchase. You can customize an ARM using Modules, which will grant Command Skills, Reaction Skills, and Support Skills. Command Skills and Reaction Skills are limited to ARM types, whereas Support Skills are universal.

You can also fight Anomalies and sell materials from them to the Order so that they can develop new ARMs and Modules. If you avoid too many battles, you will miss out on the opportunity to equip higher grade ARMs. Each ARM has a Tuneup Point limit, and each Module has a Tuneup Point cost. The more powerful a Module's skill, the more TP it costs. If you equip multiple Modules with the same skill, you can power up that skill.

[gallery columns="5" ids="936364,936362,936361,936360,936363" link="file"]

As for Penny Blood, there will be a Lottery Ticket mini-game, Jewel Alchemy mechanic, and Ryounkaku Citadel Training Grounds (Pit Fights). The Lottery system will use the Psycho Sigil to win rare items. You will net pocket tissues as a consolation prize but if you give 30 of them to a certain character, you can get a rare item. Jewel Alchemy will be a power-up system unique to Emilia. The Penny Blood Kickstarter update includes a short story of her explaining Jewel Alchemy. The Pit Fights will be Penny Blood's version of the Battle Arena.

The next stretch goals for Penny Blood include the Pedometer, Secret BOI Activity Records, The Golden Age of Jazz, and Punishment Squad: The Hellhounders. The Pedometer and Secret BOI Activity Records both focus on in-game statistics. Meanwhile, The Golden Age of Jazz will be a power-up mechanic unique to Roxane, and doubles as a musical mini-game. Punishment Squad: The Hellhounders will add a mode where you can play as the Hellhounders in their own story.

This Kickstarter update gives us our first look at Creidina, the Radiant Knight. She is a Light Fusion Monster for Matthew, and she represents his compassion and arrogance. There will also be a greyhound racing mini-game where you can bet on racers. You can also control Luca in his wolf form and actually participate in a race. The final update is a sneak peek at the Golgotha Asylum Underpass location.

Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood are in development for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. Penny Blood will come out in Spring 2025.

The post Modules and Jewel Alchemy Added For Armed Fantasia, Penny Blood appeared first on Siliconera.
