Kotaku Friday, June 14, 2024 5:15 PM  I imagine the cross-section of people who still play Elden Ring but aren't buying its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is pretty small. Even so, those people are in luck since they'll still get to take advantage of a free update going live alongside the DLC. In addition to various gameplay changes, it'll greatly… |

PCGamesN Friday, June 14, 2024 6:42 PM  Noir is an underserved genre in gaming. We've had games like L.A. Noire, Discworld Noir, and the first two Max Payne games giving us some hard boiled goodness but overall noir is thin on the ground. You'd think the types of tales about detectives and criminals circling each other as they fall into darkness would be more popular, but alas they're relatively rare. Thankfully some developers are working on adding a little darkness and cynicism into the world and Fallen Aces is counted among that number.

PCGamesN Friday, June 14, 2024 5:07 PM  Season four of Diablo 4 has largely been a success. Steam reviews are climbing, community sentiment seems better, and player numbers have risen and have yet to drop down. For arguably the first time since the game launched, it's in a good position. That's something developer Blizzard recognizes and is reflected in the scope of the next patch for the game. Think of it more like a nudge, rather than a revolution.

PCGamesN Friday, June 14, 2024 6:24 PM  What's the scariest game you've ever played? Resident Evil, when the dogs first jump through the window. Silent Hill, and the opening section with the chain-link fence and the wheelchair. There's Amnesia, Alien Isolation, the Ravenholm section from Half-Life 2. But there's one forgotten PC game, from the same golden era as Myst, Riven, and Monkey Island, that is perhaps creepier - or at least stranger - than any other. Filled with esoteric and fastidiously detailed artwork, outlandish theories about the nature of reality, and one of the bleakest narratives in game history, after 30 years of silence, Drowned God has suddenly resurfaced.

In a follow-up response to how NicoNico Douga is down as a result of a major cyber attack, Dwango and Kadokawa have announced that it might take a month before the video sharing platform returns. For now, you can access NicoNico through a new version of the website, though it's very limited.
The new version is NicoNico Douga (Re: Temporary). You'll only be able to view popular videos from 2007, but Dwango plans to add more later. Though you won't need to make an account to watch anything on it, there will only be the bare minimum of functions available. It'll feel like using NicoNico from when the website first launched.
NicoNico released a video apologizing for and explaining the incident. The official blog and Dwango's website have also gone into more detail. To summarize, the cyber attack was a large scale one that involved the usage of ransomware. Dwango delayed in informing the public about the ransomware because the programmers wanted to make sure the servers were relatively safe. This was so as not to incite the attacker to move on to the next step. Dwango has already taken steps to ensure that accounts are safe and network security is stronger. But it will continue to monitor the situation and adjust these security measures as necessary. Though data on the videos are fine, Dwango hasn't confirmed yet if anyone took personal information. This includes information on credit card numbers and passwords.
As for when NicoNico will return, it may take over a month. In the meantime, people can use the new NicoNico Douga site above. Dwango will compensate people paying for membership fees or premium for two months' worth of time. The NicoNico Manga app should return some time in June 2024.
You can read the full Q&A about the attack on Dwango's website, though it's in Japanese.

Until June 18, 2024, people can turn to social media to get "messages" from Firefly, a brand new Honkai: Star Rail character coming in patch 2.3. Like the texting feature in the game proper, X (formerly known as Twitter) users can now get a preview of conversations with her by interacting with an official HoYoVerse tweet.
By interacting with the Message From Firefly post on the official Honkai: Star Rail account, we can "reply" to her invitation. You can see the message below:
By replying to the post with either of the hashtags below by June 18, 2024, there will be a chance to receive a response. Like the texts in game, your choice will affect how the character responds. Note that you must have an X account to participate.
This follows a slate of drip marketing surrounding Firefly. From a deep dive into her kit in combat and on the field, to a series of short animated videos, she has been the center of a lot of content. One of the latest is a video from HoYoVerse's anime studio featuring the character:
Patch 2.3 of Honkai Star Rail: Goodbye Penacony will launch on June 19, 2024. It will feature numerous new events, including the release of Firefly as a playable character. She will be part of the first wave of gacha banners alongside her signature light cone. In addition to the new story and characters, higher difficulty content will be present to challenge players.
Honkai Star Rail is available on the PC, Playstation 5, and iOS and Android devices.

There's a Project Seeds patch. You can get a set of two Jeneora Rock coasters. Plus, there's a Bernardelli Times replica.
We may be hearing more about a second cour or season of the Trigun Stampede anime soon. Orange discussed it first back in March 2023. As part of its Anime Expo 2024 lineup, Crunchyroll announced a July 4, 2024 panel with the developer that will involve some announcements as well.
Season 1 of the Trigun Stampede anime will be on Blu-ray and DVD on September 10, 2024, and it is streaming on Crunchyroll now. The original anime based on the series is also streaming on the service. Dark Horse Comics handles the manga outside Japan.

To help survive the harsh landscape of Appalachia, this guide will go through all the Nuka-Cola locations and how to collect them in Fallout 76 Skyline Valley. Fallout 76 Skyline Valley: All Nuka-Cola locations and how to collect You can earn these Nuka-Colas in various ways. One of the consistent ways to get Nuka-Cola is to just buy it. However, there are a few other ways to come across these drinks if you don't have the capital. To start, there are around 11 different flavors of Nuka-Cola. Each offers something different such as health boots, or gives you AP regeneration. Additionally, some may have side effects like giving you more Rad. This is something you should be avoiding. But the compromise is that you get needed boosts. On top of that, there are ways to negate the Rad side effect with things like RadAway!
