     Acer's new Orion 7000 gaming PC has a hot-swappable SSD

Acer just unveiled its latest gaming PC range, the Predator Orion 7000, and along with all the usual internal hardware options you might expect, the company has offered up an extra feature that is a new one to us. This new Acer gaming PC includes a pop-out, hot-swappable SSD.

With Acer's Orion 5000 already our top pick for the best gaming PC you can buy - as a pre-made system that it - the Orion 7000 will no doubt deliver the sort of balance of performance and affordability as its brethren. However, it's really the swappable SSD that's the intriguing bit here.

In order to fully level up your Moze in Honkai: Star Rail, this is the total of Ascension Materials you'll need to farm: 12 Artifex's Modules, 13 Artifex's Cogwheels, 12 Artifex's Gyrehearts, 50 Nails of the Beast Coffin, and 246,400 Credits.

To fully level up one non-Basic Attack Trace for Moze, you'll need:

  • 6 Artifex's Modules
  • 10 Artifex's Cogwheels
  • 5 Artifex's Gyrehearts
  • 2 Meteoric Bullets
  • 12 Destined Expirations
  • 23 Countertemporal Shots
  • 3 Auspice Slivers
  • 1 Tracks of Destiny
  • 522,000 Credits

You can get the Auspice Sliver from the new Echo of War: Inner Beat's Battlefield. So you won't be able to farm in advance for Moze at all. You can, however, still get his Hunt Trace Materials. Meteoric Bullets and its more advanced versions are available via the Calyx (Crimson): Bud of the Hunt in the SoulGlad Scorchsand Audition Venue on Penacony.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker PS4 Online Play Restored

Back on August 22, 2024, Bandai Namco announced Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker PS4 issues caused extended maintenance, but now it ended and online play returned on September 4, 2024. Apology gifts are being sent out on all platforms both to make amends for the outage and the change in the event schedule dates for the 6th Anniversary Campaign.

Bandai Namco noted that the Ninja Tools Shop Scroll Appraisal issue is what caused the PS4 version of Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker to go offline and be in maintenance until it could be fixed and online play could be restored. PS4 players will get 30 Esoteric Scrolls as an apology gift for the issue. Those who logged in before August 22, 2024 can get it immediately at the Inn Gift Box. Those who didn't log in before the extended maintenance began, but who do log in between September 4-12, 2024, can then get the 30 Esoteric Scrolls at the Inn after September 12, 2024. Anyone playing on the Xbox One or PC version who logged in before September 4, 2024 can get 10 Esoteric Scrolls as an apology for the 6th Anniversary Campaign dates changing. 

As for the Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker 6th Anniversary Campaign event, the event schedule only changes the end dates for the seven activities that started on August 22, 2024. Here is when each one will end as a result of the PS4 issues for all players now.

  • Emergency Special Mission 1: September 12, 2024.
  • Free Ninjutsu Trial Campaign: September 19, 2024.
  • Huge Sale in the Ninja Tools Shop: October 3, 2024.
  • Ninja Tool and Weapon Trial Event: September 19, 2024.
  • Ninja World Hero Festival 30: September 12, 2024.
  • Sixth Anniversary Login Bonus (Part 1): September 19, 2024.
  • Special Boost: October 3, 2024.

The new schedule didn't mention anything about the second part of the Sixth Anniversary Login Bonus. The issue came up right as the new season debuted and Shisui Uchiha (Perfect Susano'o) was added to the roster as DLC. 

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and its Ultimate Edition are available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, online play is available on all platforms, and the 6th Anniversary Campaign event will run until October 3, 2024.

honkai star rail feixiao

A new "Keeping Up with Star Rail" video has appeared on the Honkai: Star Rail YouTube channel, with Feixiao the star of the show this time. Her healer and confidant Jiaoqiu is the one describing her kit this time.

You can watch the Feixiao "Keeping Up with Star Rail" video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuMizMJq6G0

It's also available in Mandarin Chinese and Korean. Due to "recording arrangements," the English channel has uploaded the video using the Japanese audio. There has been some speculation in the comments as to what issue may be going on behind the scenes, but there's no concrete information on that from HoYoVerse.

Feixiao will be a 5-star Wind Hunt character who can deal follow-up attacks on enemies after an ally attacks them. Like Acheron, her Ultimate comes from stacks. In Feixiao's case, she gains a Flying Aureus stack every two attacks allies launch on an enemy. Once she reaches six Flying Aureus points, she can use her Ultimate. Her Ultimate can reduce Toughness no matter the Weakness Type. It'll launch six strikes on a single enemy before a final blow, and whether the enemy is Weakness Broken or not will affect which move she uses during those first six strikes.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Feixiao will appear in Honkai: Star Rail after the Version 2.5 update launches on September 10, 2024.
