PCGamesN Saturday, March 1, 2025 2:33 PM  What are the Monster Hunter Wilds quests? There are a fair few ways to hunt monsters in Capcom's RPG juggernaut. You can find the monster you want to slay out in the wild, hunt it down during an optional quest, or stumble upon it during a main story mission. As such, keeping track of all these methods can be rather difficult, and if you're a completionist, you'll want to know that you've done everything the game has to offer. Monster Hunter Wilds offers main story chapters with different sub-chapters within them, and within those are assignments to hunt certain monsters that in turn become optional quests later on. Yes, that's almost as confusing as remembering the names of all the Monster Hunter Wilds monsters or deciding which Monster Hunter Wilds weapon to main. Thankfully, we've created a complete list of every main mission, side quest, and assignment so you can keep on top of your to-do list.

PCGamesN Saturday, March 1, 2025 2:15 PM  What is the max Monster Hunter Wilds Hunter Rank? The leveling system in MH Wilds operates slightly differently than your typical RPG. Rather than leveling up your character directly, your progression is tied to your Hunter Rank (HR). This number increases with Hunter Rank Points, which you can earn from hunts. The rank system in Monster Hunter Wilds includes a series of level gates that rise in tandem with the main story. If you focus your energies on side activities like the MH Wilds fishing quests, you may find yourself lingering at those low levels no matter how many MH Wilds monsters you slay. Here's how to level up fast without letting Hunter Rank Points go to waste.

PCGamesN Saturday, March 1, 2025 12:46 PM  I never clicked with the space combat of Starfield, and while the sprawling sandbox freedom of No Man's Sky holds an appeal, its flight isn't quite what I'm looking for either. Elite Dangerous and X4 offer more robust simulations, but Everspace 2 is more my speed. Fast, exciting, and with the options to tune its more arcadey action with more simulation-style settings, it's a loot-driven, interstellar answer to Diablo - and it's about to get even bigger. Rockfish Games showcases four new systems coming with the Wrath of the Ancients expansion, including a long-requested return and a mysterious, forbidden region.

The series Honey Lemon Soda always felt like it offered a fairly realistic take on the growth and development of not only characters Uka and Kai, but their relationship. While we get to see this right from the start in both the manga and anime adaptations, it's especially evident in later chapters and volumes of the story. With volume 8 of the manga, for example, we're seeing what happens when both the nature of the relationship changing and Uka growing as a person happen.
Editor's Note: There will be spoilers for volume 8 of the Honey Lemon Soda manga below.
Okay, so right from the start this volume of the Honey Lemon Soda manga is exciting. We came out of the last entry with Uka finally making her feelings known to Kai. Since that's reciprocated, all of that is out in the open. People notice. But because Uka is so naive, she doesn't really get that this means the two are an item.
So initially, we're dealing with the fact that the two really need to understand define what their relationship is now. Kai, who is more experienced, confident, and aware, sort of behaves in a way that purposely makes her come out and say it. That way, she better understands, there are no misconceptions, and they are together. However, because of the care Mayu Murata puts into the story and design, we can see how much this bothers and affects Kai as well. He already knows exactly how much Uka means to him. He's ready to go ahead and be official. But he's choosing to pull back and be even a bit more curt about it all, as that means Uka does need to think more clearly about what she wants and step up.
It also then means we see Uka growing as a person. She's taking the care to go outside of her comfort zone. She makes great strides when speaking up, even though her and Kai initially don't seem to be connecting regarding the change in their status. And when it does click and things get through, it's so satisfying for them to both sort of… understand. They start to get it. Each of their feelings get through.
I also love how, even though we do get this satisfying element of Uka and Kai being together now, Honey Lemon Soda doesn't shy away from getting into the challenges that come from a high school romance and connecting with your first love. That initial communication issue? That's just one part. There's also the fact that Uka is growing during this process. Throughout this volume, we see her start to step outside of her comfort zone. Part of this is for Kai, of course, but many of the decisions are ones she is also making for herself. One of the earliest ones, and the one that leads to them being separated into different classes, is her choice to pursue a college education. So we have them considering their goals and futures, while still staying together.
I'm not going to spoil what happens in this volume, of course. However, the result ends up being satisfying! We see both Uka and Kai react in a health manner to these obstacles. Namely, with the two just communicating and being together, rather than letting them get in their own heads or others get in the way.
A lot of the satisfaction in Honey Lemon Soda comes from watching Uka recover from bullying, rebuild her confidence, and find people who love and appreciate her for who she is. We're constantly seeing her progress in the series. With volume 8 of the manga, we're seeing the new types of anxieties that can come from the Uka and Kai finally entering a proper relationship. Yet, in again a reassuring way, we get to see that growth and independence doesn't mean sacrificing people or relationships along the way. It makes me excited to see how Uka and Kai's romance goes next.
Volume 8 of the Honey Lemon Soda manga is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 9 on June 24, 2025. The anime is available via Crunchyroll.

While Handyman Saitou in Another World often comes across as a slice-of-life isekai story, it also ends up being a serious explorations of characters and their relationships. Never is this so obvious as in volume 6. Because of the nature of the story, we get to see not only how much Saitou means to everyone in his party, but also the nuances of more personal one-on-one pairings.
Editor's Note: There will be spoilers for volume 6 of the Handyman Saitou in Another World manga below.
Volume 6 of Handyman Saitou in Another World volume 6 picks up right where the last volume of the manga left off. Raelza ended up separated from Saitou, Morlock, and Lafanpan went into the dungeon investigating the Golden Dullahan. When that happened, Raelza ended up with the Septicolor Knights leader, the Holy Knight Cadrea. That group is also searching for the unexpectedly strong foe that's venturing into higher levels of the labyrinth where it hadn't before.
Right away, this already provides an opportunity for some insights. Recent installments pointed out the feelings that developed between Saitou and Raelza, as well as the general affection between everyone in the party. So rather than abandon her, the group is trying to reach the level where she dropped. There's also a sense of respect and immediate camraderie between Raelza and Cadrea, since the two are both strong warriors who loved people they traveled with.
It's especially fascinating when we get these glimpses at Saitou's inner thoughts concerning Raelza. We know he loves her. We've also seen over all the volumes how handy he's proven as a party member, thanks to his versatility. So even if he isn't physically strong, he's more than proven his value and worth in a multitude of other ways. But with this separation and possible danger posed by the Golden Dullahan, we're seeing his anxieties on full display. Given the nature of the foe and the ensuing events, it also makes it easy to see exactly why he might succumb to an attractive offer that would make him exactly who he thinks Raelza might need him to be, even though we have substantial proof over hundreds of pages that he's already that person.
Likewise, seeing Raelza's reactions to Saitou when he's at his worst and in danger are so heartening. Sad, considering what the two are going through, of course. But we're seeing her respond in kind and do things that put her own safety at risk to show exactly how important he is. She'll even turn on someone who previously she admired and respected if it means he'll be safe.
This goes for everyone. While the focus of this installment is Saitou and Raelza, as well as the comparison in some ways of their romance between Cadrea and her lost love, we also get prime examples of how much Morlock and Lafanpan care about Raelza and Saitou. There's the fact that neither is willing to abandon either character in the dungeon in Handyman Saitou in Another World volume 6. We also see them going out of their way to keep Saitou safe. This means also putting their own lives at risk, just like Raelza, with Lafanpan's assertion being even more potentially tragic and chilling.
Of course, I'm not going to spoil the outcome of this excursion into the dungeon, but volume 6 of the Handyman Saitou in Another World manga once again does a fantastic job of developing characters and showcasing relationships. We get an even better look at how the main couple Saitou and Raelza feel about each other. There's more background showing how everyone in the party feels about one another. It's just satisfying to see even more interactions involving the group.
Volume 6 of Handyman Saitou in Another World is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 7 on June 24, 2025. The anime is on Crunchyroll.

After a long, long wait, fans of Fire Force can finally ignite their passion once more as the anime's third season gets an official release date. During IGN Fan Fest 2025, it was revealed that the first part of Fire Force Season 3 will premiere on April 4.
The announcement came with a new trailer, showcasing intense battles, stunning animation, and the return of the beloved Shinra Kusakabe. In addition, the trailer also previews the season's opening theme song "High Flame" by Queen Bee.
Crunchyroll previously announced to stream the upcoming season.
About Fire Force
Fire Force is based on Atsushi Okubo's manga of the same name. The series is set in a world where spontaneous human combustion turns people into destructive, fiery creatures known as Infernals. To combat this phenomenon, special firefighting squads called Fire Force units are established. The force is composed of pyrokinetic warriors with unique abilities.
The story follows Shinra Kusakabe, a third-generation pyrokinetic who joins Special Fire Force Company 8. His goal was to become a hero and uncover the truth behind the mysterious fire that killed his family. Along the way, he and his comrades face off against the enigmatic White-Clad. It was a doomsday cult that sought to bring about the Great Cataclysm and consume the entire world in flames.
A long-awaited return
Fire Force was first adapted into an anime by the studio David Production in July 2019. The first season ran for 24 episodes and ended in December of the same year. Fans didn't have to wait long. Just the year after, the second season aired with another 24 episodes. While a third season was confirmed to be in production in 2022, there was no news for the elusive sequel for years.
Four years after Season 2, the third and final season is finally upon us, easily making it one of the most-anticipated series of this year. However, it won't be ending just yet. It was previously revealed that the third season would be split into two parts. As just announced, the first part will air on April 4, while the second some time in January 2026.

Aka Akasaka, Oshi no Ko's co-creator, will be debuting a new manga on March 19. The announcement came from Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine, where the new project will also be serialized.
According to Anime News Network, the series will be titled Märchen Clown, though the official English title is yet to be revealed. Similar to Oshi no Ko, Aka Akasaka will be co-working with other creators for the project. Akasaka will be receiving help from Geek Circle Crisis' Aoi Kujira for the story. Meanwhile, Record of Ragnarok's Ajichika will be doing the new title's art.
No official synopsis is available at the moment of writing. However, Weekly Young Jump teases that it's a fairy tale story featuring a fate-bound pair of a prince and a princess.
Aka Akasaka's previous manga
Aka Akasaka is renowned for creating intriguing narratives. Even before Oshi no Ko, he already saw success with Kaguya-sama: Love is War, which was serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 2015 to 2022. During that time, the manga also won a number of awards. It also received an anime adaptation in 2019.
After that, Aka Akasaka worked with Mengo Yokoyari to create Oshi no Ko. While the manga series was doing well on its own, its popularity exploded with a wonderful anime adaptation in 2022. The anime won numerous awards, including the Tokyo Anime Award Festival's Animation of the Year (Television) for 2024. The Oshi no Ko manga began its serialization in April 2020 and ended in November 2024.
Akasaka also worked on another manga entitled Renai Daiko, however, it was a short-lived one. The title only ran from April 2023 to June 2024 with a grand total of 39 chapters.

If you enjoy creating vicious BitLife characters who are masters of manipulation and killing, the Serial Dater challenge is the event for you. During the challenge, you'll make a character who becomes a police officer, finds some brief love, and starts some brutal conflicts with his enemies and lovers.
BitLife Serial Dater challenge guide
BitLife's Serial Dater challenge has five tasks to complete:
Having the criminal special talent will make it much easier to get away with your character's acts later in the challenge. However, you're not required to use this talent, and you can still get away with all four attempts if you use the right methods. While there is some strategy, it is mostly luck-based.
Be born a male in Florida
The first part of BitLife's Serial Dater challenge is creating a male character born in Florida. To do this, pick Male as your starting gender, the United States as your country, and Miami as your place. You can use other Florida cities like Tampa and Orlando if you wish, but Miami is a relatively easy and safe bet for this challenge.
Once you create your new character, age up until they turn 18 to unlock full-time jobs and the Murder option under Crime. You'll need both for this challenge, as we'll discuss soon. While you can start on the last two tasks now, having a criminal record will make becoming a police officer much harder, so I would wait until later for that.
Become a police officer
Speaking of becoming a police officer, BitLife lets you quickly and easily do this after graduating from secondary school. Once your character turns 18, check the full-time job list and scroll through until you see Cadet, Trooper, or Patrolman as position options. Roles like Corporal and Lieutenant won't work, as they require previous job experience.
If you can't find it right away, age up and recheck or close and reopen your BitLife app. Once you spot it, apply for the role and pass the interview to become a police officer.
Hook up with your boss
Now that you're a police officer, you can get up to some funny business with your boss. To access this option, head into Job, your current position, and Co-Workers. You'll find your boss at the top, who you can select to spot the Seduce interaction.
However, this is easier said than done, depending on who your boss is. You're much more likely to have a successful attempt with someone who lacks professionalism, is "cool," and who's currently single. Their sexuality can also influence your attempt. You may have to swap jobs a few times to find someone willing to do the deed with your character. Although you must do it with your boss, you don't have to do it at your police job.
Eliminate lovers and enemies
After having a special night with your BitLife character's boss, it's time to swap over to crime. With lovers, you'll first have to find people to date by heading into Activities, Love, and Date. Enemies are even easier to find, as you just need to swap a friend's status to Enemies through your relationships menu.
Once you're ready to attempt these last two tasks, head into Activities, Crime, and Murder, and pick either your lover or one of your enemies as the victim. For the highest odds of success, pick Drive-By or Poison as your method. Having the Assassin's Blade will make this a breeze regardless, but if you don't have it, you can use these two for high odds of success. If you fail the attempt, close and reopen the BitLife app or accept your fate and escape from prison before trying again.
The more attempts your character makes in one year, the higher your risk of the police catching you. Try to spread it out between two to three years for the best chance of success. Once you pull off all four eliminations, you'll complete BitLife's Serial Dater challenge and receive a mystery cosmetic prize.

One of the main ways to ensure your hunter doesn't go hungry in Monster Hunter Wilds is to cook Well-done Steaks. However, this is easier said than done if you're not sure how to approach the task.
How to craft Well-Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds
Before you can even attempt to cook a Well-done Steak, you're going to need access to two different items: the Portable BBQ Grill and some Raw Meat. I will explain how you can get both.
The Portable BBQ Grill is the easiest to obtain, only requiring you to progress the main storyline far enough until it is permanently unlocked for you. Don't worry; this process doesn't take long if you're just getting started in Monster Hunter Wilds. You may need to sit through a few cutscenes and a beginner monster or two, but you won't have to wait long to get this item. Once it is unlocked, you'll be able to scroll to it in your item bar, or use it directly from the Item Racial Menu if you set it up that way.
Now, getting raw meat is as difficult, but it will require a little bloodshed on your part. Raw Meat typically comes from the non-hostile Herbivore monsters roaming around areas with natural elements such as grass or water sources. They are almost always in packs, and attacking one will cause them all to attempt to flee from you. Kill one and carve it to obtain its Raw Meat. You can do this as much as you like, as long as you have space in your Item Pouch.
With both the Portal BBQ Grill and Raw Meat in your inventory, it's time to get cooking. Use the Portable BBQ Grill, and your hunter will pull it out and set it up. You'll be given the option to cook a meal or grill some meat. For this task, you'll want to select the Grill Meat option, as it's the only way to make Well-Done Steaks.
When you select Grill Meat, a mini-game will start, showering your ears with a tune. This tune is very important for the game, as you want to interact with the meat almost the moment the tune comes to an end. Doing this too early or too late will result in either undercooked or overcooked meat, which is not the target.
Interacting with the correct timing will result in a second rhythm game to determine how many Well-Done Steaks you'll get. The second mini-game requires you to time your knife cuts (into the cooked meat) with the tune. Perfect timing will result in multiple Well-done Steaks, all for one use of Raw Meat.
As with before, this process can be repeated as many times as you desire, so long as you have space in your Item Pouch. Well-done Steaks are superior entirely to using Rations to restore Stamina (which is also your Hunger meter), and you should graduate from making use of Rations at all unless in dire circumstances. Well-Done Steaks also offer you some healing, allowing them to be used for sustainable purposes as well, though I'd recommend using Potions for that, more often than not.

Colossal Bone is a prime resource required for some high-end gear in Monster Hunter Wilds. If you're not sure how or where you can find it, here's everything you need to know.
Where to find Colossal Bone in Monster Hunter Wilds
Colossal Bone is a valuable High-Rank resource in Monster Hunter Wilds that is primarily obtained from carving Conga, the small pink monkeys that often surround Congalala when nearby. Since Colossal Bone is exclusive to High Rank, you must progress past Low Rank before you can start farming this material. Colossal Bone is essential for crafting various powerful weapons and armor, making it a sought-after resource for hunters looking to upgrade their gear.
Conga are rather common beasts located within the Scarlet Forest, so that's where I recommend you farm Colossal Bone from. Despite being a bone resource, Colossal Bone does not come from any bone piles, so don't bother checking any that you come across as you explore the forest.
Conga often travel in groups, so once you find one, you'll mostly likely find quite a few others nearby. Each time you defeat a Conga, you can carve its body for a chance to obtain Colossal Bone. While not guaranteed, every carve attempt increases your chances of collecting this resource.
Useful Farming Methods for Colossal Bone
With Conga as your target, here are a few things you can do to maybe speed up the hunting process:
With these methods, you should be able to obtain all the Colossal Bone you need in no time.

Dragon Ball FighterZ was critically and commercially successful, introducing countless players to fighting games and the community surrounding the genre. Currently, gamers are acquiring the Arc System Works title for free through what appears to be an unintentional loophole.
The loophole that they're using to acquire the game is quite simple. For active Xbox Game Pass users, the Xbox One version of Dragon Ball FighterZ is free to download through Xbox's free play days promotion. After launching the game app, players meet with a menu featuring the option to upgrade to the game's Xbox Series X|S version. Selecting to upgrade adds both versions of DBFZ to the player's owned games library.
Twitter user @Wario64, whose account focuses on advertising deals for cheap games, discovered the workaround. His post met with skepticism towards its validity in the comments, and some gamers claimed the loophole didn't work for them.
The workaround is still possible presently, and neither Microsoft nor DBFZ developer Arc System Works has yet to acknowledge the exploit. Although it's feasible that both entities are unaware of what's going on, that scenario seems unlikely.
It's currently unclear if there are plans to fix the loophole or if players who acquired the game in this manner will ultimately lose access. Definitive answers will have to wait until Dragon Ball FighterZ Free Play Days access ends March 2 at 11:59 pm PST.

Task 1 - Born Legend
Task 2 - Rising Star
Task 3 - On a Loan

EA FC 25 Ashley Cole On This Day Icon SBC solutions
Here's a set of solutions to complete the latest Icon challenge in Ultimate Team.
Task 1 - Born Legend
Task 2 - Rising Star
Task 3 - On a Loan
Task 4 - Ashley in Red
Task 5 - Ashley in Blue
Task 6 - The Three Lions
Task 7 - League Legend
Task 8 - 88-Rated Squad
Task 9 - 89-Rated Squad
The new Ashley Cole card could have been better for a SBC that requires over 600,000 coins worth of fodder. The Pace (91), Passing (84), and Defending (90) stats are on point, but 85 Physicality is low in the current power curve. The Jockey+ playstyle is also helpful, but the same can't be said about Relentless+. Anticipate is also absent, which is crucial for tackling in the current meta.
All things considered, this SBC should have been priced lower, or the card should have been better. The Raphinha World Tour SBC and the Randal Kolo Muani Fantasy FC SBC are far better choices.

Upgrading your stats in Rune Slayer can be quite challenging, even for experienced players. That is why getting the Ring of Vitality is crucial for survival in the wild, as it significantly boosts your maximum health and stamina, allowing you to endure tougher enemy encounters and progress more.
Table of Contents
How do I get the Ring of Vitality in Rune Slayer
Getting the Ring of Vitality in Rune Slayer is easy and hard at the same time. All you have to do is complete a quest for an NPC in the starting town. The hard part comes from the quest, called Monster Fish, which is to defeat a specific monster. Below, we will go over all the steps and how to proceed in this quest:
Monster Fish Step 1: Finding Alvin (NPC)
This is the easiest step in the completion of this quest. Alvin is located on the wooden platform above the lake in Wayshire. To start the quest, walk up to Alvin and tell him that you will help him solve the fishing problem in the town.
Monster Fish Step 2: Finding the Monster
After talking to Alvin, you will receive a quest with the details explaining that a Monster Fish is eating all the other fish in the lake. To complete the quest, you need to slay this Monster Fish and bring the waters of Wayshire back into balance.
The fish can be found swimming in the water and is visible from the ground above the lake. This fight can be pretty challenging for low-level players, so I recommend leveling up a little bit first. The Monster Fish (Baracuda) has a lot of health and has attacks that deal continuous damage to the player. To defeat it, use the swing-and-dodge strategy and bring a potion or two.
Monster Fish Step 3: Getting the Ring of Vitality
When talking to Alvin after defeating the Monster Fish, he will thank you for helping a village and give you your reward:
How do I Use the Ring of Vitality in Rune Slayer
Now that you have the ring, you can finally enjoy the bonus stats and progress the game easier. You can equip it to your character by going to the Character menu and dragging the Ring of Vitality into any of the four ring slots. The Ring of Vitality gives you increased Maximum Health, Health Regeneration, and Stamina.
And that is all for our Rune Slayer Ring of Vitality guide. Check out our other Roblox Guides here to bring your gameplay to the next level.

A resonator who takes faith in the RNG to a whole new level, Youhu shines through her ability to provide good amounts of healing and a broken Coordinated Attack Damage buff that feels tailor-made for sub-DPSs like Zhezhi and Yinlin.
But as she won't be able to excel from the get-go like the game's top healers — aka Verina and Shorekeeper — knowing how to build her will be just as vital as mastering her unique mechanics. Here's the best Youhu build in Wuthering Waves.
Table of contents
Best weapons for Youhu in Wuthering Waves
The best weapon for Youhu in Wuthering Waves is the 5-star Abyss Surges, which offers a massive amount of attack and a minimal but still great 12% boost in Energy Regen. Among the 4-stars, Marcato will then be my main pick. The reason? The weapon's Energy Regen boost (51.8%) and Concerto energy passive (8 to 16 per 20-second intervals) will allow you to enable Youhu's Outro Skill at record time.
Although lacking a Concerto-focused passive, using the craftable Gauntlets#21D —aka Youhu's best F2P option— at any rarity can also work great. To add to that, her low DMG makes using Crit Rate Rectifiers like Verity's Handle a waste unless you have unlocked all of her sequence nodes. Remember, the most important thing here will be enabling her Outro Skill for that 100% Coordinated DMG buff as fast as possible.
Best Sonata and Echoes
Thanks to its universal 15% ATK buff and 10% healing boost, the best Sonata for Youhu will be Rejuvenating Glow. When talking about the echoes themselves, I recommend going with the usual 4-3-3-1-1 composition. If you are unsure regarding your main echo, Bell-Borne Geochelone is by far the best all-rounder main pick, while Fallacy of No Return shines via its great ER passive and ATK buff.
Main stat-wise, prioritize Healing Bonus for your main echo while using pairs of Energy Regen and ATK, as her healing will scale off the latter. If you want to get the most out of her DMG, go with Crit Rate for your main echo. For substats, focus on ATK, Energy Regen, and, if needed, CRIT Rate/DMG.
Are her Resonance Sequence nodes a must?
As her Sequence Nodes will only impact her overall DMG, none of them will be when looking to use Youhu in her main role. As we mentioned above, however, her second, fourth, and sixth sequences can indeed make investing in her DMG worthwhile, although you should not expect anything groundbreaking. You can check out an overview of all of Youhu's sequence node effects below:
Best Youhu teams in Wuthering Waves
Although Youhu can fit pretty much any team in Wuthering Waves thanks to her role as a healer, her 100% coordinated attack buff makes her shine the most when in teams featuring sub-DPSs like Zhezhi and Yinlin. In the DPS spot, Jinhsi's ability to self-buff no matter your chosen sub-DPS and enable quick rotations makes her my main pick. Carlotta and Xiangli Yao can also be matches made in heaven for our sub-DPSs, as they will be able to make full use of their respective Outro Skill buffs.
To recap, here are the best teams for Youhu, as well as the most F2P-friendly composition for her if you lack any of the 5-star duos above:
Now that you know how to awaken the true potential of Jinzhou's best antique specialist do not skip on the latest Wuthering Waves codes for a welcome amount of extra materials, Shell Credits, and, of course, Astrite.

The Itch.io Bundle for Ukraine had a lot of video games, and the TTRPGs for Trans Rights had, well, TTRPGs. Now, there's a new bundle, which has a mix of new additions and old favorites.
Should get the California Fire Relief Bundle? Of course, you should. Charity aside, the California Fire Relief bundle gets you dozens and dozens of great games for just $10.
The best games in the California Fire Relief Bundle
The bundle includes a few high-profile indies from a few years ago, like 2022's mystery-filled Tunic, physics-based adventure game Octodad: Dadliest Catch, story-driven idle game A Dark Room, and the racing spinoff of everyone's favorite one-minute-long game, Minit Fun Racer.
That's all well and good, but where are the weird games? Worry not: soon, you'll be drowning in fun, unique games that are a bit too odd to bring out in casual conversation. Games like:
There's more where that came from, like classic indie They Bleed Pixels and early Renaissance monastery mystery Misericorde.
Not just video games
Before I leave you to your 422 or more newly acquired "items," let's talk about what that word means. Even if this bundle features too many incredible video games to count, there are even more goodies that don't fit in this category.
Most of those are tabletop RPGs and board games. You know of at least one TTRPG: Dungeons & Dragons. The new edition of D&D isn't in this bundle, but it's hard to miss it when you have the gory magical girl adventures of Daisy Chainsaw, the sad MMOs of .dungeon, the monastic mysteries of Rosewood Abbey, and so many more that they couldn't fit in this article even if we just listed their names.

Fisch just launched its Moby update and, as you can probably tell, it involves a very famous whale. Just like all smaller updates, there are a couple of new things to go through, hence why we made this guide. Here's Everything New in the Fisch Moby Update.
All New content in Fisch Moby Update
Here's everything new in this mini-update:
Double XP extended weekend
You can enjoy double XP for three whole days. This is a great opportunity to level up and catch up to all your friends who are already fishing using the No-Life Rod. This XP buff also stacks with other XP buffs. We're definitely going to take advantage of this one.
New Skins, Bobbers, and Bundle
As we've come to expect, there are a few new premium / limited items and bundles available. In case you are using the Royal Scepter, the No-Life Rod, or the... Training Rod (Seriously???), you can buy a new skin for them. There are also three new Moby Dick related Bobbers which you can buy in a single bundle at a discount.
Of course, there are two new boats. The Flipper Express is part of the Flipper Bundle, which also comes with a Whale Lantern and a 64 times Luck boost for one hour. The more expensive boat is the Mawrider, which looks like a creepy Lanternfish. As always, we'll let you decide if these premium items are worth it.
Blue Whale migration
Much like the Orca migration, there are now Blue Whale migrations that can happen whenever it's rainy or foggy on the server. According to reports, there is a 20% chance that a Blue Whale migration will occur whenever it's raining or foggy on your server, and using Tempest or Smokescreen Totems can help you trigger it faster. Good luck catching these guys because, just like Orcas, they are quite tricky to catch.
Moby, Captain Ahab, and the new rod Enchant
Arguably, the biggest innovation with this small update is the chance to catch Moby, the Legendary Whale. During a Blue Whale migration, you have a 5% chance to catch a Moby whenever you are reeling in a Blue Whale.
After you catch Moby, you can visit Captain Ahab and trade Moby in for a new enchant: Blessed Song. This gives you a +10% progress speed to every fish you reel in, so it sounds pretty cool. Here's the bad news: according to some players, even if you catch Moby and bring him to Captain Ahab, you can fail at receiving the enchant, which means you are basically giving him a Moby for free. This will likely get patched soon.
And there you have it. Even if you aren't keen on going for the elusive Moby, we hope you enjoy the double XP event. Have fun, and if you haven't already, check out our Fisch codes for some free boosts.
