Popona, the official Sega and PSO2 VTuber, will have her birthday stream on February 5, 2024. She'll hold a 3D live event on YouTube and TikTok, and there will also be official merchandise for her birthday. [Thanks, PR Times!]
There will be two components to Popona's birthday livestream. The first part of it will be her singing, and the second part of it will be a chat. For the singing part, she'll sing songs from familiar Sega games. Watching the livestream will be free no matter your chosen platform, so you don't have to worry about a fee.
If you want to offer your support to Popona through finances, you can purchase items from the Popona Birthday 2024 collection. The sale will run from February 5 to 29, 2024. There'll be items like covers for a body pillow. If you're in Japan, you can also go to a FamilyMart to use its FamimaPrint service. From there, you'll be able to print out stickers of Popona. These stickers will cost 540 JPY each.
Popona is the official VTuber and PR agent for Sega and PSO2. She currently has around 33.1k subscribers on YouTube. PSO2 is not the only game she makes content for. As of the time of writing, some of her recent streams include her playing games like Like a Dragon Gaiden and Persona 5 Royal. Granted, they are all still Sega games.
The Popona birthday livestream on YouTube and TikTok will start on February 5, 2024.

Konami announced that Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are now Steam Deck verified. Additionally, the Bonus Content of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is now compatible with Steam Deck as well.
The latest Ver.1.4.1 and Ver.1.4.1D title updates appeared on Steam on January 29, 2024. The update seems to fix some of the issues that appeared when playing on Valve's handheld gaming computer. However, it is unclear what changes players can expect.
The brief patch notes provided by Konami only confirmed Steam Deck support for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, and the SteamDB website for MGS2 and MGS3 states the same. SteamDB also informs of fixes to some minor issues and issues related to playing with keyboard and mouse configuration.
As for the original Metal Gear Solid, the Steam page for the game informs that the game has the "playable" status instead of verified. However, the only caveat present in this title results from some in-game text being small, which could make it difficult to read on the Steam Deck display.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is immediately available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are part of the collection, and each game can be acquired individually on Steam.

Hinemos will release several bottles of Japanese sake based on Persona 3 Reload. Pre-orders will open from February 2, 2024.
The sakes all drew inspiration from the Dark Hour and Hinemos likely partnered with Atlus for Persona 3 sake due to its own "time" concept. Hinemos usually releases wine with names like "Ichiji" (1 o'clock) or "Reiji" (Midnight). There will only be a limited supply of these exclusive sakes, so Hinemos encourages consumers to put in their orders as soon as possible. However, depending on the demand, Hinemos might produce more.
The three bottle designs depict the Dark Hour, Aigis, and the Protagonist. The designs are directly on the glass, so you don't have to worry about them coming off under the water. This means that after you wash the bottles, you can use them as decoration or as a vase. There are three different flavors as well. You can buy them separately or in sets. Buying two bottles as a set will get you a sticker, and buying all three as a set will get you a miniature version of the Kagejikan Tartarus bottle.
Here are the prices, designs, and flavors of each bottle:
The Persona 3 Reload sake will be available to pre-order from February 2, 2024. Persona 3 Reload will come out on February 2, 2024, for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.

Jaran, a service for booking trips, will have a collaboration commercial with Yu Yu Hakusho from January 31, 2024. The commercial will feature the main four characters from the show, as well as Toguro (the younger one), relaxing in a hot tub. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
Yusuke's voice actor, Nozomu Sasaki, will be in charge of narrating the commercial. It will apparently feature lines and familiar catchphrases from the episode previews. Aside from scenes of the character relaxing in a hot tub, it'll show some cuts from the original anime.
Some preview scenes show Yusuke and Toguro fighting in the Dark Tournament. So, the look of the commercial will change between the show's retro aesthetic and the more modern art style. Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime and manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi, who later created Hunter x Hunter. It was wildly popular in the 90's, though recently Netflix produced a live-action adaptation of the show.
It follows delinquent Yusuke who becomes a Spirit World Detective after he dies saving a kid, an act which the Spirit World did not expect. The show focuses more on the action and fighting rather than Yusuke's detective gigs.
The commercial for Jaran featuring the Yu Yu Hakusho characters will appear on its YouTube channel on January 31, 2024.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, January 29, 2024 10:11 PM  If there is something that we would all appreciate is a bit of lore and context to what exactly is happening on the screen. Well, we're in luck. Here is how to get Zoltun Kulle's journals in Diablo 4. Diablo 4: How to get Zoltun Kulle's Journals If you are confused about what exactly is happening during the Diablo 4 Season of the Construct and wonder what caused all this ancient mechanic debacle, don't worry too much. That's where the "Kulle's Heart" enters the chat. You see, this seasonal quest will probably answer a couple of questions you may have about the origin of Zoltun Kulle's constructs and whatever happened with them when Malphas took over, but you will have to gather his journals regarding the matter. Hopefully, they do not have any compromising information, I mean, if a guy's dead, then do go over his private information! Well, anyway, there's a total of five different Zoltun Kulle's ... |
