Kotaku Wednesday, June 28, 2023 10:25 PM  Indie developer Neal Agarwal, better known as Neal.fun, makes video games that are very small but also very good. His latest, The Password Game, is the perfect example: it takes the hell of coming up with a password for an app or site's account and somehow turns it into something as far from hell as possible. |
Kotaku Wednesday, June 28, 2023 8:30 PM  We've tried to scrub as much of the time period from our collective memories as possible, I know, but if you cast your mind back to the Presidency of Donald Trump, and 2017 specifically, you might remember one of the weirdest stories to emerge was one involving Disney, an animatronic robot and Hillary Clinton. |

Kotaku Wednesday, June 28, 2023 6:05 PM  Donald Duck is considered by many fans to be the most powerful mage in all of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. For a long time, his reign as the supreme magic user in the franchise was unchallenged. But that's changed with the release of Final Fantasy XVI, because now there's finally another mage who's as powerful as… |
PCGamesN Wednesday, June 28, 2023 6:16 PM  An Ankou is an upcoming roguelike game focusing on your role as the mythical servant of death itself. Alkemi, the indie developer behind other whimsical games like Foretales, is delving deep into Pagan mythology for the inspiration behind An Ankou. Said to be the henchman of death, Ankou appears within folklore as a robed man, often portrayed with a scythe in hand. The gameplay itself presented by Alkemi for its take on the myth thus far is strikingly reminiscent of other brilliant indie gems, from Hades to V Rising.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, June 29, 2023 1:45 AM  When we last checked in on the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X in December last year, it had dropped to £249 in the UK. Now, the same six-core 12-thread Zen 4 processor is down to £208, making a Ryzen 7000 build surprisingly affordable - especially when you take in the drop in AM5 motherboard and DDR5 memory prices. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 28, 2023 6:07 PM  I've mentioned SK Hynix before, the flash memory giant that made Intel's SSDs and is now making their own SSDs under the Solidigm brand. The Korean company has pursued an aggressive pricing strategy for these drives, and evidence of that is this latest deal on their flagship P44 Pro 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive. The P44 Pro is now down to $117 at Newegg when you use code SSCT2827, a price that also includes a free mousepad - nifty. For context, the 2TB drive was selling for $150, making this a pretty tidy discount. |

McDonald's in Japan is collaborating with Nijisanji for an upcoming promotion, though it's unclear as of yet what it will entail. The Nijisanji Vtubers who will be part of it as Belmond Banderas, Kanae, and Fuwa Minato. They are not sporting new designs for the collaboration as of the time of writing. Based on past collaborations that McDonald's Japan announced, it's possible that there will be new food items on the menu based on the three Vtubers. While McDonald's collaborations in the west might mean Happy Meal toys, Nijisanji is not marketed specifically for children. So this is the more likely possibility. We might also get to see Kanae, Fuwa, and Banderas in McDonald's uniforms when the promotion starts. In the past, when McDonald's in Japan held a collaboration with One Piece, it was to market a specific type of burger. It also released a promotional video based on the One Piece opening, and you could also get a special One Piece float for a limited time. Kanae, Fuwa, and Banderas are three popular Vtubers with the Japanese branch of Nijisanji. Kanae currently has 1.17 million subscribers, Fuwa has 827k subscribers, and Banderas has 445k subscribers. All three of them are previously from different groups but mostly produce similar content (gaming streams and song covers). The McDonald's and Nijisanji collaboration in Japan will start some time in the future. More details will appear then.

For years, we've known Pikmin 4 is in development. The series revels in combining the familiar and unfamiliar, with its humanoid characters constantly crash landing on planets that are home to mysterious, plant-like creatures eager to lend assistance. Now that we're on the verge of its return, I had a chance to head back on another voyage. Even in its early hours, it feels like a revival of the series' most familiar concepts. After a bit of an introduction, Pikmin 4 puts players in something of a similar situation. Shipwrecks on a familiar planet result in us becoming Rescue Corps rookies saving the day. However, instead of immediately jumping to Pikmin helping to save the day, another creature comes in instead: Oatchi the Rescue Pup. The dog-like creature can function like a Pikmin in some ways. He's able to carry items and was as strong as three Pikmin when I was going through the first area of the game. He can attack enemies, dealing damage to foes. Rather than immediately getting knocked out, he has a health bar that depletes when foes attack. You could use him to knock down items, so they can be collected. He's also able to dig at buried objects or provide access to areas by pulling a plant from a pot to provide a new avenue. This isn't to say the Pikmin don't seem as capable (and endearing) as ever. Given I was going through the first hour or so, I didn't get to gather a massive army. But right away, I was able to send them to collect items like a Stone of Advancement to get the Sparklium to power the S.S. Shepherd. I ended up using them to flatten a paper bag, to act as a ramp, and destroy a wall, to create access to one of the missing Rescue Corp members stranded in the accident. The Red Pikmin were ready to provide any aid I needed. I even got to meet the Ice Pikmin early on. This is the new species with traits focused on freezing. Which is what they came in handy for in two ways in these early expeditions. They could freeze an enemy they were attacking, providing an opportunity to take advantage of a situation. More interestingly is how they could also affect environmental objects. For example, if something had a "jelly" consistency with a high amount of water, a group of Ice Pikmin attacking it could freeze it. Oatchi could then rush into it to destroy it, providing access to a previously blocked off area. Pikmin 4 will come to the Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2023. A demo will appear on June 28, 2023.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, June 29, 2023 12:41 AM  Once you've gotten each area's Pillar restored with its respective orb, you may have noticed there's an extra, second Pillar on an island in Dazzle Beach. It turns out there's actually a reason and purpose behind it. If you go back into the Dark Castle after completing Act One of the story, there's an Orb of Unity just lying on the ground where you and The Forgotten stopped the spell. You can put this in the Pillar to trigger a mysterious puzzle. But if it confused you as it did me, I have you covered. Here's how to solve the Skull Rock puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. How to Complete 'Between Skull Rock and a Hard Place' puzzle Once you put the orb inside, ruins appear in the sand in a circle on the little island. A quest starts called 'Between Skull Rock and a Hard Place'. While it's framed as a Merlin quest, if you talk to him he has no idea what's going on. Screenshot by PC Invasion There is no ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, June 28, 2023 8:15 PM  There are a huge number of weapons in Diablo 4, ranging from the mundane to the downright insane. Each new weapon picked up has a chance for a different roll on the stats and could just as easily be turned into scrap as it is to be by your side for hours. One thing is for certain; you will pick up hundreds of weapons and only take notice of a few. One of the types that will always stand out is the unique weapons, which often come with a little lore and a buff that makes them extra special. One of these unique weapons for the Sorcerer class is the Staff of Lam Esen in Diablo 4. How to get Staff of Lam Esen in Diablo 4 Screenshot by PC Invasion The Staff of Lam Esen can only be found through random drops in the world. You will have to unlock world tiers 3 and 4 for the item to have a chance of dropping. So, the only way you're going to get your hands on this weapon is by grinding away at the game. The best way to do this would be to run events around the map, such as the... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, June 28, 2023 6:22 PM  The grind for the perfect build in Diablo 4 takes time, dedication, and research. Each class can be built and molded in many different ways, resulting in a playstyle that is unique every time. The aspects in Diablo 4 have the ability to change the way a character plays drastically. They can buff and sometimes utterly change the way weapons and armor work. The Aspect of Blurred Beast for the Druid is a surefire way to enhance a poison build in Diablo 4 completely. How to get Aspect of the Blurred Beast in Diablo 4 Screenshot by PC Invasion Like a lot of the more powerful Aspects in Diablo 4, Blurred Beast can only be extracted from gear to be obtained. There is no boss or dungeon that will award the Aspect in Diablo 4, so you're just going to have to grind for it. It can be found through random drops in the game at the end of challenges and from chests. The best way to farm loot is by getting involved in events such as the Gathering Legion that can award up to three chest... |
