     Starfield jackpot backend combination at Almagest casino explained

What is the Starfield jackpot combination? If you've made your way to the Almagest casino, after taking down all the Spacers inside, you may have stumbled upon the jackpot backend computer, hidden in the small room behind the huge circular door. But unless you've fully explored the casino, knowing the right code is impossible.

So we're here to help. The jackpot rewards aren't quite gamebreaking, but they are a nice little top-up to your Starfield credits total, not to mention the valuable Starfield contraband you can get from the container next to the computer.

     Best CS2 binds – create a jump throw bind

What are the best CS2 binds? With all of the changes made from CSGO to CS2, we suspect there are plenty of configs that will need to be rebuilt for the first time in years. Don't worry, we've created a list of the most helpful key binds you could use to improve aspects of your game.

While Counter-Strike 2 technically isn't out yet, the majority of active players have been granted access to the beta test ahead of the release date. When you start up the game for the first time, you may notice that some of your old key binds don't work anymore in the FPS game like they used to. Some console commands have been tweaked or removed entirely, so you may need to recreate your config to match your old game. Here's everything you need to know about Counter-Strike 2 binds.

     Who are the Starfield Ecliptic Mercenaries?

Who are the Starfield Ecliptic Mercenaries? There are several factions in Starfield, and we'd say that most of them are committed to either tearing you apart or helping put you back together. There are undoubtedly some, though, that have absolutely no idea who you are - you're just that little weirdo who bounces around in their ship that looks like a giant penis.

One of these factions is the Ecliptic Mercenaries, and despite facing many of them in our Starfield review, we still have very little idea of their motivations. Whatever happens, you'll need to make sure your Starfield companions are up to the task of potentially facing off against an entire army, so, you know, you should probably get on that. Here's what we know about the Starfield Ecliptic Mercenaries.

     Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is

Postal developer Running With Scissors, renowned for creating some of the most profane, edgy, and controversial FPS games on PC, says that Denuvo and download rights management (DRM) technology serves as a "punishment" to gaming consumers. Many of 2023's biggest games including Street Fighter 6, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Dead Space Remake use Denuvo, while other unreleased games, like Mortal Kombat 1, Payday 3, and Total War Pharaoh also list DRM technology on their Steam pages. The developer of Postal says that DRM is "intrusive" and that the gaming industry "deserves a better future."

     Where are your parents in Starfield?

Where are your parents in Starfield? Finding the location of your folks in Starfield is only possible if you choose the Kid Stuff trait, as they won't exist otherwise, but despite this, you're not made aware of how to find them straight away.

While your parents cannot become your Starfield companions like the Adoring Fan can - who exists thanks to another one of the many Starfield traits - they can be found alive and well, and will even offer you gifts. Here's where to find the Starfield parents location and the benefits - and drawbacks - that entails.

What are the Starfield system requirements? You don't need space-age hardware to blast off with Starfield, as the sci-fi RPG runs on older components. However, Bethesda does say you will need to leave behind your mechanical hard drives to get on board.

     Starfield planets – all systems, moons, and worlds

What are all of the Starfield planets? Starfield features over 1,000 planets spread across more than 100 star systems. On average, each system will have around ten celestial bodies for you to explore. We know you can build outposts in Starfield, hire characters to staff them, and harvest resources. It's likely that every planet has at least one point of interest worth delving into or valuable materials potentially difficult to find elsewhere.

Not every Starfield planet is loaded with content, and some don't have life on them at all due to their procedurally generated nature. Some are home worlds of the many Starfield factions, and you can visit their main headquarters in Starfield cities like New Atlantis on the planet Jemison. Many other worlds are desolate places ripe for exploration, though you'll have to set out on foot, which is just as well as the sole concern of Constellation, one of the primary groups, is to push the frontiers of human understanding. We've split the many known destinations into planets and moons and given information on which system you can find them in below.

     Starfield's janky UI can be fixed completely, here's how

The Starfield UI can be a little cumbersome and fussy. You're soaring through the stars, or maybe bunny hopping across the surface of a newly discovered planet, totally at one with the universe. But then you have to stop, jump into the menus, and spend ages navigating through items and collectibles. With the full Starfield release times almost upon us, fortunately, one of the jankiest parts of the Bethesda RPG game has already been fixed - if you're a veteran of Skyrim, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls, and want a smoother interface, this Starfield mod is here for you.

     Baldur's Gate 3 romance is

If you haven't romanced Astarion in Larian's Baldur's Gate 3, what's wrong with you - I mean, that's your choice, of course. Baldur's Gate 3 romances have overtaken every forum in the world, propelling the RPG game to the top of the Steam charts and straight into the bowels of our lovesick hearts. Former Dragon Age lead writer and Baldur's Gate 2 design director David Gaider, however, has called Baldur's Gate 3's obsession with sex, sex, and more sex "too overt," even although he's enjoying playing it.

     Best VPN service 2023

A VPN (short for Virtual Private Network) is a privacy tool that can help to protect your information when you're browsing, streaming, or gaming online. The best VPN providers encrypt your data safely and route it through their servers, and can also change your location to access websites and content abroad like streaming services when you're on holiday, or gaming lobbies in other countries.

VPNs are big business and have become increasingly popular as we become more aware of our security on the internet. Thankfully, as our internet privacy has eroded more and more over the years, the best VPN services have risen to challenge the invasive nature of certain algorithms and cookies. Nowadays, if you're looking for a VPN provider, you're almost spoiled for choice, with so many options and each of them provides a slightly different package.

If you're struggling to figure out which VPN is best for you, you've come to the right place. We give ExpressVPN our highest recommendation for reasons we'll get into below, but we've reviewed ten other top picks for you too, including the best cheap VPN and the best free VPN. Skip to the bottom of this guide if you need advice on how to choose the best VPN.

     Best Starfield ships and how to design your own

What are the best Starfield ships? These interstellar space vessels are how you'll travel between the stars. You'll come across countless ships warping between solar systems; most friendly, some incredibly hostile. You're fine to settle on your starting ship and make it your own mobile home, but you're just as free to make your own if pilfering one from angry space pirates isn't your style.

Not sure what you'll be getting up to in a custom Starfield ship of your own design? By adding cargo modules, you'll be able to make a good go of amassing Starfield contraband to rapidly gain Starfield money. You might also get a little too invested in the Starfield photo mode as well.

     How to get polymer in Starfield

How do you get polymer in Starfield? This exotic organic resource is - as exotic would imply - hard to come by unless you know where to look. It's one of many required materials for a plethora of crucial upgrades, but it's unlikely you'll be able to stock up on polymer without going out of your way to look for it.

Alongside the 1000+ Starfield planets, there are also a lot of Starfield materials and resources, and polymer is a tricky one to source. While adhesive is a rare material, polymer's exotic status makes it even more valuable in the space game. Here's the lowdown on how to get polymer in Starfield.

Among the feats a new player of FromSoftware's Souls or Souls-adjacent fantasy games must perform is conquering your fear of giants. From the Stray Demons of Dark Souls through Bloodborne's Cleric Beast to the dragons of Elden Ring, you must learn not to be awed by creatures who look they could kill you with a sneeze. You must learn to run towards that titanic knight with the enormous shield, rolling between its colossal ankles, using its stature against it. You must learn to see past the visual overkill of a swing that would surely fell a skyscraper, registering only the effects on your poise and health bar. It's a learning curve, for sure, and that makes the modding of mechs from Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon into Elden Ring a little more than the usual act of mischievous fanservice.

You may have seen that Alice Bee has started a "land on every planet" run of Bethesda's Starfield. By total coincidence - I promise you it's accidental, I was so pleased - I've been working on a "land on no planets" run of Starfield. The reasoning for this is as follows: people say that outer space is the worst part of the game, because it's just an irritating interval between the maps where the majority of quests, loot, intrigues, etc are found. It's a fast travel loading screen you can fly about in. But what if you double-down on the space stuff?

What if you never descend from orbit, not even to repair, modify or upgrade your ship and offload inventory? What if, rather than buying new ships or building them, you progress exclusively by boarding other captains and making off with ship and cargo? How well does Starfield scrub up as a thoroughbred space sim that leans towards bloodthirsty piracy? Here to answer these questions is Mary Read, my custom character and budding astral freebooter. She's named for her distant ancestor, the legendary 18th century English buccaneer Mary Read. She's had a crack at life on shore, setting foot most recently on Earth's Moon, but from this point on, her fate and fortune lies amid the stars. Arrr!

Review: Rune Factory 3 Special Brings a Great Game to More People

There are certain Rune Factory games that stand out. Like a lot of the entries in the series can be really good and fun! It also helps that many of them involve gimmicks like a playable second generation, also being in "charge" of the town, or two characters sharing one body. Rune Factory 3 ended up being one of the strongest ones when it showed up on the DS, and it remains just as notable now that Rune Factory 3 Special is on the Switch and PC.

Rune Factory 3 Special begins with a golden Wooly stumbling, exhausted, into a town. A young woman brings the creature inside to care for it, even though it is a monster and the town has quite a grudge against them. Once she leaves, that being turns into a young man. He stumbles out of the house, revealing he's suffering from amnesia. With his name — Micah — being the only thing he remembers, he's quickly embraced by the community, given a place to live, and finds himself getting involves with both protecting the citizens from some exceptionally strong monster bosses and building ties with a peaceful monster community.
[caption id="attachment_982103" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Review: Rune Factory 3 Special Brings a Great Game to More People Image via XSEED[/caption]
We've seen Rune Factory 3 before, and Special keeps the original adventure intact. This is one of the strongest entries in the series, perhaps rivaling the fourth installment as being the "best" one. There's a good balance between farming, fighting in the dungeons, and socializing with people in town. Because your fields are directly below your treehouse home, it's easy to pop down to settle things and manage your monsters. An array of grasses and seasonal items come up frequently, for extra assistance or gifts. You'll need to run through town to head to one of the four dungeon areas, which is a good excuse to briefly greet people, handle some errands, or give gifts. Dungeons are filled with enemies that, while not always terribly intelligent, can sometimes provide a challenge if they gang up on you. You can teleport away to the entrance of a dungeon or home with a spell that's always there. It's honestly quite well optimized and has a great sense of flow to it.

But the thing that makes Rune Factory 3 Special is the fact that Micah isn't an ordinary human like other protagonists in the series. This amnesiac is also able to turn into a Wooly, the sheep-like, ever present mascot of the series. This allows some additional moves when in battle. It also grants access to Univir settlement that is a home to peaceful monsters. It's an amusing gimmick and the fact that it has story and battle implications only makes it an even more appreciated feature.
[caption id="attachment_982104" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Image via XSEED Image via XSEED[/caption]
This does mean that, since Rune Factory 3 Special is pulling from the original game pretty directly, some of the QOL issues aren't exactly addressed. I'm still not a fan of the town map, which still is frustrating in its lack of information. Changing equipment is a bit of a hassle. Until about the middle of my first summer, I'd find myself accidentally pressing the button to hold a tool, rather than equip it, and then had to go through the process of pressing a button to equip it, then another to put the other tool I was now holding back in my bag.

As for what's totally new, Rune Factory 3 Special takes cues from Rune Factory 4 Special. The Hell difficulty mode is new and back, offering a greater challenge. If someone played the game before I think they'd be comfortable choosing it first. But if it is your first time, going with the normal option is likely best. (I did try both, but went with the standard one for the sake of getting through the game ahead of the review.) Newlywed Mode is also here. This is an unlockable adventure that requires you to marry one of the main characters — basically beat the main game — before you go through an additional experience with them. It's entertaining enough, and I appreciated getting to spend that extra time with Raven. Naturally, there are the upscaled visuals and new aspect ratio, which make things a bit crisper and easier to see.

Rune Factory 3 Special is a great farming game and one of the best, most memorable entries in the series. The Switch and PC versions simply take a strong title and make it possible for a larger audience to enjoy it. It's well executed, with a satisfying gameplay loop and story that makes it easy to lose a few hours farming and fighting.

Rune Factory 3 Special is available on the Nintendo Switch and PC.
