Life is frustrating, and Drywall Eating Simulator is an attempt to capture that while also being funny and driving you to gnawing through walls when your anger hits its peak. It's relatable! However, the unfortunate part is that this simulation does still feel like a work in progress. While patches did make things easier to deal with along the way, it's still a bit buggy.
Drywall Eating Simulator is about dealing with everything annoying about life. Dealing with an apartment complex where you're trapped inside, encountering annoying neighbors, and can't get out. The stress builds until you explore and encounter enough irritants that the Stress Buddy shows you're about to lose it. At this point, you'll see glowing red segments of walls. These can be eaten to make new paths and reduce stress.
So the first really frustrating thing about Drywall Eating Simulator is the speed of the camera. While moving forward and backward is fine, as is strafing, actually moving the camera felt shockingly sluggish and slow on a handheld gaming PC. This meant actually turning and exploring felt like a chore. This persisted even after the patches that fixed some softlock situations, which is annoying. I tried messing with the settings as well and didn't encounter the issue when playing on a laptop, so it must be tied to the Steam Deck sort of experience.
Also troublesome is the fact that sometimes Drywall Eating Simulator stages don't work well. The first and second levels are working reasonably well as of time of writing, with the recent patches up to this point making it possible to see which parts of walls are susceptible and the Questlog.txt tracker keeping accurate notes on what needs to be done. But I experienced issues with the mission list not updating and the fourth level still locked up on me.
But even when Drywall Eating Simulator is working well, the way in which you progress can get a bit irritating. That's because it's essentially an "explore everywhere and click on everyone" type of experience. There are times when the commentary from NPCs can be funny! The idea is hilarious. The situations are perfect examples of irritating moments of life. But actually getting to the progression points can be difficult in some stages. This felt most noticeable in the first stage, but it also happened to me in the fourth as well.
The idea behind Drywall Eating Simulator is amusing and captures the frustrations encountered at work or in society. Unfortunately, I feel like this is a game in need of another few patches. Some Steam Deck optimization would be great too. Peripheral Playbox did already release one patch on Steam and seems responsive, so this could be a situation where it's in a much better place in a few weeks.
Drywall Eating Simulator is available for PCs.

The best Race in The Forge Roblox depends on what you need for your build whether it's more damage or progression boosters. In general, the higher rarity races are better but there are some exceptions. That's why this The Forge race tier list will guide you through the best ones.
Table of contents
The Forge Best Race Ranked
In general, the best Race in The Forge is the Angel & Archangel for late-game due to the massive Luck bonus or the Demon/Archangel for PVE fights which are the two highest DPS races. If you want to focus on progression boosters then the Goblin offers Pickaxe discounts and Dwarf mining speed. Otherwise, follow this tier list where S-Tier are objectively the best, A-Tier are great alternatives and B-Tier are decent for beginners. C-Tier is underpowered but usable and never use D-Tier. I'll explain the rankings for all races individually below.
Specific Use Races
S-Tier Races
A-Tier Races
B-Tier Races
C-Tier Races
D-Tier Races
How to Reroll Race in The Forge
You can reroll your race from the Shop-Race menu or from the Wizard NPC at his tower. To reach it, go toward the Cave entrance and make a left when you're near it. Continue down the road passing Tomo the Explorist and you'll reach the Wizard Tower. Go inside and talk to the Wizard and you can then spin for races via the Gacha system (See odds above).
How to Get Race Rerolls in The Forge
There are three ways to get Race Rerolls in The Forge and here are all of them:

The demand for Surveyor Vault in ARC Raiders has gone up ever since the first Expedition project kicked off on Dec. 22, and you're going to need plenty of them.
The Surveyor Vault is required as an upgrade material for the Medical Lab. While you might have kept all your upgrades intact, you'll still have to build them with the correct resources. This guide will help you find the best spots possible to find this specific item.
Best locations to find Surveyor Vault in ARC Raiders
The only known way to find a Surveyor Vault is by taking down Surveyors. You'll find the Surveyor on every map. My favorite locations are Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Stella Montis. The Surveyor will only attack if it becomes aware of your presence. You'll need to wait for it to become stationary since its core will then be exposed.
It's pretty easy to take down a Surveyor when its core is exposed. However, you'll want to do so from a distance, as it can alert your position to nearby ARCs. You can also use one of your teammates to bait it out while you can shoot at its core. Try to carry heavy weapons as they're ideal to shred the armor of the Surveyor.
The Dam Battlegrounds appear to have the most spots when it comes to Surveyor spawns. I have marked a few of the locations where I have found them. You can try out the Ruby Residence, as this specific spot also spawns plenty of keys.
The Lobby area on Stella Montis is another great spot to come across different Surveyors (but their spawn rates will vary across raids). You can also possibly find them at the Medical Research and Assembly Workshop areas.
You can also find them on Buried City, Spaceport, and Blue Gate, but these maps can be harder to survive. Additionally, you can also find Surveyor Vault from ARC Couriers. However, it's not guaranteed, and ARC Couriers spawn randomly on the maps. Hence, it's best not to rely on this method.

I'll show you all the Ores in The Forge as well as their stats, how to reach their locations and what pickaxes to use to mine them. I'll also be listing special traits every Ore for creating equipment. Here are all Ores in The Forge and my complete Ore guide.
Table of contents
The Forge Ore Guide
Below I'll list all ores in The Forge sorted by location and rarity but first let's explain Ore stats. Each Ore has its stats like multipliers, rock nodes they drop from and traits. Here's what all Ore stats mean:
Each ore will have all of these stats below and now that you know what all of them mean let's dive into the Ore list. Remember to equip as many Mining Shard runes on your pickaxe as you can.
All Stonewake's Cross Ores in The Forge [World 1]
These are all ores you'll find in the starting cave in World 1 sorted from the lowest to the highest drop chance. The rock nodes here are Pebbles, Rocks and Boulders. Here are the World 1 ores:
All Forgotten Kingdom Ores in The Forge [World 2]
The ores below are found across the caves in Forgotten Kingdom World 2 and Volcano Region (See picture above) but these don't include the ores in the Goblin Cave since that's a separate section below. For World 2 there's a lot more rock nodes with specific Pickaxe Strength requirements. Here's everything you need as well as all the ores and traits you can find here:
All Goblin Cave Ores in The Forge [World 2]
The Forge Goblin Cave is a special area in World 2 Forgotten Kingdom and the entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. My video above will show you how to reach the Goblin King. From there you have to complete a 5-part quest that's basically about giving him a total of 85.000 gold and he'll give you the key for the Goblin Caves. The cave entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. Here are all the ores in the Goblin Caves.
All Frostpire Expanse Ores in The Forge [World 3]
You'll need to reach Level 70 before you can enter Island 3 Frostpire Expanse. The list below will focus on the Spider Cave where you can find Icy Pebble, Icy Rock and Icy Boulder. I'll list Mosasaursit and The Peak ores below in a separate list since it's focused on various Ice Crystals not found in the Spider Cave. Note that the Arcane Pickaxe will only mine the Icy Pebbles and you'll need either the Demonite or one of the Island 3 pickaxes for Icy Rocks and above.
All The Peak Ores in The Forge [World 3]
The Peak is right above the town area on Island 3 which you can reach by going up the walkway to the right of Bjorn the quest giver. Inside of The Peak cave are Small, Medium, Large and Floating Ice Crystals as well as all the late-game enemies and the Golem Boss. I recommend at least the Snow Pickaxe for this area and remember to use the Goblin Race for a discount.
Mosasaursit Ore & Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge [World 3]
Mosasaursit is a special ore needed for the Prismatic Pickaxe that is found by diving into the hole at the frozen lake at the other side of Island 3. Follow the picture and video above to reach the frozen lake, dive into the hole and keeping swimming down to the bottom. There'll be a massive ice wall that you can mine for Mosasaursit and you need 320 Pickaxe strength so the Snow Pickaxe for $750.000 is your best bet. Mosasaursit is used to unlock the Prismatic Pickaxe which is behind the wall where you need 1 Mosasaursit and enough cash to get it (Use Goblin Race for a massive discount).
That's it for my all Ores in The Forge guide with locations and pickaxe requirements. Check out our The Forge codes for free goodies. Also, with all these Ore combinations in mind here's a weapon tier list for the game.

The beauty around ARC Raiders is all about the different builds that you can try, but it's best to go with the meta if you actively engage in PvP.
The meta around PvP has slightly changed from what it used to be. First, some of the skills have changed from how they used to work. Secondly, it's possible to apply 80 skill points if you maxed out your stash value to 5 million before the Expedition project began.
Let's look at an extremely strong build that you can potentially use to dominate the PvP scene.
Best PvP build in ARC Raiders
Before deep diving into the build, let's look at how the points are distributed across the three branches.
The build is heavily biased towards Mobility since this is primarily to be used for PvP. You'll want quickness in your movement, and also be able to use the environment to your advantage. Thanks to Vault Spring and Vaults on Vaults on Vaults, you can do that.
Both Survival and Conditioning have an even investment of points just to aid your ability to stay alive while getting decent loot in the process. I went for Effortless Swing since there could be some situations when you might require melee. This build is heavily influenced by TaxiDLegend, who also shared the efficient routes when you're levelling up. I have made slight changes to the already-great build based on how I play.
