Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 7:00 PM  A story ran on Bloomberg earlier today with the headline "Blizzard Manager Departs In Protest of Employee Ranking System". It sounds very businessy, maybe something that would land on the Linkedin news feed of a HR manager, but the stuff it's describing is important because it sounds absolutely dystopian. |
Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 6:30 PM  When Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden were released on new platforms last week, much was made of the fact that for the first time ever the latter was going to feature French, Italian, German and Spanish subtitles. That was great news for European fans, but the people most responsible for this achievement aren't… |

Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 4:30 PM  I'm sure that indie studio Mojiken's supernatural slice-of-life A Space for the Unbound is the perfect game to play when it's raining outside. It's set in a pixel-y, 1990's Indonesia, where everything is tinged in an evocative seafoam green, flanked by a low, hot sun and pink clouds. It gives you an attractive, dry… |
Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 4:20 PM  The Makima simps of the world are no doubt going through rough post-season withdrawals now that Chainsaw Man Tuesdays are a thing of the past.

Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 4:15 PM  Popular Disney World ride Splash Mountain—based on animated scenes from the controversial 1960s Disney film, Song of the South—has shut down. A lot of people loved the ride, which dated back to 1992, so it makes sense that yesterday, Disney adults and superfans alike crowded the park all in an effort to ride Splash… |
Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 3:10 PM  The Last of Us' TV adaptation is a rare bird in terms of staying true to its source material—particularly when it comes to video games. But even a show that aims to be as authentic as HBO's treatment of the hit PlayStation series needs to make a few changes to adapt to a different form of storytelling. After the… |
Kotaku Monday, January 23, 2023 1:45 PM  Late last week, Square Enix announced that its beleaguered 2020 live-service game, Marvel's Avengers, will no longer receive new content or major updates after March 31. And all official support for the game will end on September 30, 2023, with digital sales ending on that date too. While you'll still be able to play… |

PCGamesN Monday, January 23, 2023 1:51 PM  You can expect to rack up plenty of close-quarters eliminations with our best Warzone 2 PDSW 528 loadout. It's one of the lighter transformations we've had to make, as the SMG's mag capacity, inherent stability, and devastating firing rate already place it among the best Modern Warfare 2 guns around. Right out of the box, you'll notice that the recoil on the PDSW 528 is very bad at a distance because of damage drop-off and some incredibly high recoil. Therefore, we're going to address exactly those areas with our best Warzone 2 PDSW 528 loadout so you can dominate the free PC game with ease.

PCGamesN Monday, January 23, 2023 1:52 PM  The best MW2 PDSW 528 loadout is a rapid-firing, close-quarters menace, and provided your aim is even half-decent, you'll be easily decimating foes. The classic P90 SMG is known as the PDSW 528 in Modern Warfare 2, so don't overlook the bullpup submachine gun while you're looking for your next favourite weapon. Even when you think you have found your new battle companion in the FPS game, you need to make sure it's set up correctly, with the new Gunsmith system changing the way you unlock some attachments. On base stats alone, you might think the PDSW 528 doesn't stack up against some of the best MW2 SMG, but add the following attachments, and your opponents won't be able to get out of the way fast enough.

PCGamesN Monday, January 23, 2023 1:51 PM  It's a bit early to look at the best Forspoken builds, but we can look at all of the currently revealed information about magic and how it works with your character to influence the build. You only have access to one type of magic during the game's opening hours, but as you progress, you learn how to harness different elements of magic to help you fight and perform some sweet parkour moves. As one of the first big releases this year, Forspoken has a chance to impress us, and a lot of the reason why is because of the potential of the RPG game's combat system.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 23, 2023 3:18 PM  Since about 2015, there's been an Acer monitor of one kind or another on my desk. The Taiwanese company is probably better known for its desktop PCs - or its former StarCraft II team! - but they're also a solid choice when it comes to high performance, relatively good value monitors - without the RGB and heavy branding of competitors like Asus or MSI. In any case, one of Acer's most popular models, the Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx, is down to £120 at Amazon. That's a great price for a 24-in 1080p 165Hz monitor that has attracted strongly positive reviews. |

Another model of train seen in Final Fantasy VII Remake is the Hoka 100 Type 70 Model 5884. This model of train has been in used for a long time, however this series of trains quietly stopped being in use after new train models replaced it. This model could be seen out of commission in the Train Graveyard during Chapter 11. The tweet also mentioned that there is someone very knowledgeable about Shinra trains in Wall Market, along with a screenshot of the location of the NPC. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on the PS4, PC, and PS5. FFVII Remake Part 2, titled Rebirth, is currently in development.

So now that you're probably really invested in Fire Emblem Engage, you might be wondering how to earn more SP so you can acquire some useful skills for your allies. I mean, there are two ways to do it. The slow and steady way is to keep going through battles, having the characters you want to earn SP participate. That will build up bond levels so you can inherit those skills and get you the currency you need for them to "buy" them. However, there's also a quicker way involving certain items available. How Do I Earn More SP in Fire Emblem Engage?I mean, the easy answer is to fight battles. Both standard fights and Skirmishes will net the characters participating in them SP. Note that a character must perform an action, like fighting or healing, to earn it. Also, even if they hit their level cap, they can continue to earn SP. If you take on Gold Skirmishes when you do, you'll earn extra money. Silver Skirmishes mean extra EXP for the characters fighting foes at the same time. Training Skirmishes mean more money and experience.
But How Do I Earn SP Really Quickly in Fire Emblem Engage?Okay, well, it sounds like you want the books. There are three tiers of books you can get, and using one automatically gives the character a set among of SP. A Novice Book gives the person 100 SP. An Adept Book gives them 500 SP. If you use an Expert Book on them, they get 1,000 SP. However, these are rare items that you only acquire under certain circumstances. Fortunately, there are three guaranteed ways to get some.
