Kotaku Wednesday, August 30, 2023 7:10 PM  Last year, Facebook (now known as Meta) announced that it was adding legs to its ugly virtual reality avatars. Some people were excited. Now a year later, after Meta promised the legs were coming soon, they are finally (sort of) working inside the company's depressing digital "metaverse". Should we…cheer? |

A new permanent Simulated Universe feature, Swarm Disaster, will appear in Honkai: Star Rail starting on September 6, 2023. There will also be new Blessings, Curios, and random events. In order to participate in the new map, you will need to first clear Simulated Universe: World 5. In total, there will be five different difficulty levels in Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster. Once you complete all chapters of Swarm Disaster, as well as complete a new adventure mission, you will be able to unlock the Path of Propagation as a Path to choose in the beginning of a run. The Propagation in lore follows the deceased Tayzzyronth and some random events in the current Simulated Universe reference it. As for how Swarm Disaster will work, it's similar to regular Simulated Universe in that you travel from Domain to Domain. However, after every Domain, you toss an Audience Die, which have different effects depending on the Aeon. You can also take on Trail of Pathstrider challenges, which will increase your Communing Trail points. You can use these points to gain extra rewards, unlock special buffs, and collect new main story chapters. There is also a new boss enemy in the Third Plane called "Swarm: True Sting." Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on mobile devices and Windows PC. The Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster feature will become a permanent fixture of Honkai: Star Rail from September 6, 2023.

Thanks, Bilibili announced that it is publishing and distributing the Simplified Chinese version of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby in China. Pre-registration started on August 4, 2023 and within ten days, over a million players signed up. Cygames is working on expanding Uma Musume: Pretty Derby not only within Japan, but to other countries as well. However, there is no news as of yet in regards to an English release. You can download the Simplified Chinese version of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby from the game's official Bilibili page. Obviously, since the game just came out, it has the debut roster of horse girls and there is only one main story. It's unknown if the Chinese version will, like the global server for Twisted Wonderland, try to catch up to the Japanese version or if it will remain several years behind the original server on a permanent basis. Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a multimedia franchise centering around uma musume, who are literally horse girls. They're based off of real-life race horses both alive and dead. Uma musume are a combination of sports stars and idols in-universe, in which they legitimately work to compete in their races. However, the winner of the races and derbies get to be the center of a live performance that takes place after the races. Aside from a game, there is also a manga and an anime adaptation. Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is readily available in China and Japan on mobile devices and Windows PC. The post Uma Musume Pretty Derby Chinese Version Now Available appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, August 31, 2023 1:02 AM Easily the most imposing and terrifying new enemy introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes in the form of the Gloom Spawn, also known as Gloom Hands. This collection of one-eyed demonic hands sprouting from a puddle of gloom can move incredibly quickly to squeeze the life out of Link whenever he gets close. Tackling them early on likely won't end well, but once you gain the strength and courage to take down a Gloom Spawn (or simply stand on a high ledge where it can't reach) you can obtain some Dark Clumps to cook meals for gloom protection. And if the Gloom Spawn produces a Phantom Ganon miniboss upon defeat, you can beat him for a special gloom-based weapon as well as the Demon King's Bow, which increases in strength depending on the number of Heart Containers you have. As such, it's beneficial to learn all of the different spawning locations of these dangerous enemies so you can reliably obtain their materials. Where to fin... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, August 30, 2023 7:46 PM  There is only one Battle Log in the Prisoner Rescue mission in Armored Core 6. However, if you have reached this point in the game, not only have you completed New Game+, But are now on New Game++. Congratulations, you must be a real masochist. However, the Battle Log can be a bit of a head-scratcher to find, so here is the best way to get your hands on it. Prisoner Rescue battle log location Once you reach the checkpoint in Prisoner Rescue, which is situated on a Helipad, travel right over it and along the cliff face. You will notice there is a mech to destroy at the far end. Get rid of this, or it will end up causing you problems for the next leg of the journey. Screenshot via Burtrolla From the current location, look across the chasm towards about 250 on your compass. You will see the huge dam wall in Prisoner Rescue. Boost your way over to this and head to the far right side. On the top of the dam, you will find yet another mech similar to the one you just dispatched. ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, August 30, 2023 7:29 PM  Battle logs in Armored Core 6 provide you with progression in your LOGHUNT missions. The further you get it, the better the gear you unlock for your mech. They can be found on various enemies dotted around the different missions, but you need to know what you're looking for before you set out. The Battle Logs in Ocean Crossing can be hard to find because, despite the Armored Core map looking linear, it is actually quite complex. How to get Ocean Crossing battle log in Armored Core 6 Screenshot by PC Invasion To start, head up the large elevator to the top level of the planet. Once you are there, you need to head out of the doorway and drop down to the right. This will not only help you avoid the lasers but also put you face-to-face with the drones, which are what you need to kill for Battle Logs in Armored Core 6. Once you have dispatched this first group, head through the complex until you see the bridge. Screenshot by PC Invasion Once you are at the bridge... |

One standout feature of Honkai Star Rail (and its sister gacha game, Genshin Impact) is its pity system, which allows you to guarantee a 5-star character after a certain number of pulls.
