When Microsoft—a company that made "$198 billion in revenue and $83 billion in operating income" in 2022—made the decision to axe 10,000 workers last week, a number of those came from their video game operations, particularly 343 Industries, the overseers of the Halo series.

     Escape From Tarkov cheaters

If you've noticed more Escape From Tarkov cheaters than normal, you're far from alone. The "hardcore story-driven MMO" from Battlestate Games might be one of the most influential survival games in recent years, inspiring modes such as Warzone 2 DMZ, an addition to the latest Call of Duty game. However, the community is awash with complaints in recent months, with comments calling the current wipe "the worst so far for blatant cheaters."

minato aqua hololive aquarium merchandise

Entergram will start selling merchandise from Aquarium, which is a PS4 and Switch romance game featurinh Minato Aqua of Hololive. The goods were originally exclusive to Comiket 101. However, Entergram will start selling it to non-Comiket participants from January 26, 2023 via Sofmap. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]

The Minato Aqua Aquarium merchandise that will be available for purchase from Sofmap are:

  • C101 set
    B2 tapestry, a short story, visual fanbook, special paper bag
  • Switch storage case
  • Rubber keyholders (five variations)
  • Acrylic figures (three variations)

Though Minato Aqua is the star of Aquarium, you have the chance of getting either Houshou Marine or Shirakami Fubuki for the keyholders of the acrylic figures. Both of them are also Vtubers associated with Hololive. Sofmap does offer international shipping. As of the time of writing, though, the only Aquarium item available on Sofmap is the Switch version of the game. So the prices of the various goods are unknown as of yet.

Aquarium came out in October 2022, and there is no official English release as of yet. It is a romance visual novel in which you play as Minato Aqua's employer. She is your maid, and you are a nobleman. Various Hololive VTubers, including Aqua herself, streamed themselves playing the game.

Aquarium is available in Japanese territories on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The Hololive Aquarium goods will appear on Sofmap from January 26, 2023.

hu tao ascension materials

Hu Tao has been in Genshin Impact for a while now as one of the game's more desired Pyro DPS characters, and she will make a return in Version 3.4. For those who do not have Hu Tao but plan on pulling for her, it's good to start farming for her ascension materials now. Fortunately, since she debuted in 2021, even newer players should be able to access everything she needs.

Here are the Ascension Materials and Mora to set aside for Hu Tao:

Ascension 1:

  • 20,000 Mora
  • 1 Agnidus Agate Sliver
  • 3 Silk Flowers
  • 3 Whopperflower Nectars

Ascension 2:

  • 40,000 Mora
  • 3 Agnidus Agate Fragments
  • 10 Silk Flowers
  • 15 Whopperflower nectars
  • 2 Juvenile Jades

Ascension 3:

  • 60,000 Mora
  • 6 Agnidus Agate Fragments
  • 20 Silk Flowers
  • 12 Shimmering Nectars
  • 4 Juvenile Jades

Ascension 4:

  • 80,000 Mora
  • 3 Agnidus Agate Chunks
  • 30 Silk Flowers
  • 18 Shimmering Nectars
  • 8 Juvenile Jades

Ascension 5:

  • 100,000 Mora
  • 6 Agnidus Agate Chunks
  • 45 Silk Flowers
  • 12 Shimmering Nectars
  • 12 Juvenile Jades

Ascension 6:

  • 120,000 Mora
  • 6 Agnidus Agate Gemstones
  • 60 Silk Flowers
  • 24 Shimmering Nectars
  • 20 Juvenile Jades

You can get Silk Flowers in Liyue Harbor and around Wangshu Inn. Also, you can farm Juvenile Jades from the Primo Geovishap, which is in the Minlin area of Liyue. In total, you will need 420,000 Mora, 46 Juvenile Jades, and 168 Silk Flowers. This is on top of the Agnidus Agate materials and Whopperflower materials.

As for Hu Tao's Talents, she takes Diligence books. You can farm Diligence from Taishan Mansion on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Her Weekly Boss drop is Shard of a Foul Legacy, which you can get from Childe. Childe is in Liyue, just like all the other Ascension Materials Hu Tao takes.

To fully level up a single Talent, Hu Tao needs:

  • 1,652,500 Mora
  • 3 Teachings of Diligence
  • 21 Guides to Diligence
  • 38 Philosophies of Diligence
  • 6 Whopperflower Nectars
  • 22 Shimmering Nectars
  • 31 Energy Nectars
  • 6 Shard of a Foul Legacy
  • 1 Crown of Insight

While you do not need to push her all the way to Level 90, I do recommend fully Ascending Hu Tao. This is because her special stat when leveling up is her Crit DMG. A lot of Hu Tao's usefulness comes from her Charged Attack and the nuke DMG from her Burst. So having a high natural Crit DMG is beneficial.

Genshin Impact is readily available PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Hu Tao is a limited 5-star character, so you cannot always pull for her unless she is on a re-run banner.

     The mouse market is a confusing place filled with equally confusing terminology and numbers. There's so much choice out there, from established brands to a myriad of newcomers offering insanely light mice designed for people who have sacrificed thousands of hours upon the altars of competitive multiplayer. So when I went hunting to replace my Logitech G403 I was greeted with so many choices that my brain immediately displayed a 404 error and refused to do anything for a few hours. After a lot of searching, I settled on one of Razer's latest mice, the Basilisk V3, their updated version of a mouse I actually reviewed back in 2017. Three revisions later, how is it holding up?
