PCGamesN Monday, May 12, 2025 7:40 AM  Even if you've never touched a Nier game, I'd wager that you know exactly who 2B is. The iconic android has made myriad appearances in other games since Platinum released Nier: Automata in 2017, and the studio is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. She's already in Final Fantasy 14, Fall Guys, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, and a rhythm game excellently titled D4DJ Groovy Mix. Now, 2B is coming to The First Descendant.

PCGamesN Monday, May 12, 2025 7:16 AM  Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 99 Genshin Impact characters available, providing you with a wide variety of candidates to construct your dream team. But with so many weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging. Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. It doesn't matter if your favorite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. We've spent hundreds of hours trying different variations of teams in Spiral Abyss to establish who the best characters are in Genshin Impact.

Or at least it was, until now. Thanks to Saber, which has just released its entire internal toolkit, Space Marine 2 mods have just been set loose.

PCGamesN Monday, May 12, 2025 6:19 AM  The allure of World of Warcraft's hardcore mode is the fact that it's, well, hardcore. A single misstep off of a cliff, a mistimed dodge, or a slightly slow reaction leads to your eternal demise: all of that gear, gone, that time arguably wasted. But, in the wake of the OnlyFangs drama and consistent server instability, Blizzard has been resurrecting Hardcore characters at its "sole discretion," noting previously that, given the malicious nature of DDoSes, it seems unfair to almost punish players for something outside of their control. As yet another round of attacks scramble the game's servers, Blizzard has confirmed that even more hardcore characters will be returning to the fray.

We've done some digging to make sure we've got the latest codes available from Gameloft. To celebrate the release of Dreamlight Valley multiplayer, there are two new codes below. The Dreamlight Valley golden potato code was the first to come to the Disney game, and gives you just that, a golden potato. It doesn't even do anything yet, but the exciting news is that it appears to be part of a future Dreamlight Valley quest. The code might no longer be available, but if you still don't have a golden potato, you can pick one up in Scrooge's shop, and notes hidden around the valley suggest that the potato might be put to use any day now. Other codes have since been released with various celebrations and events, and all current Dreamlight Valley codes can be found below.

PCGamesN Monday, May 12, 2025 6:00 AM  What is the best gaming laptop? The answer to that question depends on your priorities, as well as your budget. The latest laptops pack Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 GPUs, alongside AMD Ryzen 9000 and Intel Core Ultra CPUs. Higher-spec models will typically be larger, run hot and loud, and be very expensive, but there are plenty of other options that are smaller and lighter or more affordable. Whatever your needs, we've got a laptop for you. Our top choice overall right now is the Alienware M16 R2 thanks to its combination of style, portability, and power. Meanwhile, the Razer Blade 16 is the ultimate premium option with its slick design and ultra-powerful RTX 5090 GPU. A great budget option, though, is the Acer Nitro V 15, which packs a mighty punch for under $1,000. For more options, see the list below, and be sure to check out the how to choose and FAQ sections of this guide to learn more about how to find the right laptop for you.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, May 12, 2025 7:26 AM  Among the first terrain fixtures you discover on Dune: Awakening's Arrakis are moisture seals: puffy wads of fabric that fill cave entrances to create makeshift microclimates, where travellers can escape the constant threat of dehydration. Awakening's moisture seal are, in practice, the paper lid on a tube of wilderness Pringles: poke through with your dagger to find resources and the occasional hostile NPC. But what if you could place your own moisture seals, rather than just tearing open the ones left by NPCs? I'd love to play a game in which you are constantly reading the barren landscape for the shallowest of shady depressions that can be plugged and converted into shelters. Think of the attentiveness it might teach, the sensitivity to the geometry of a world that can drain your O2 bar dry in moments. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, May 12, 2025 5:45 AM  I want Grand Theft Auto 6 to be good, and if I had to bet money on it, I'd guess it likely will be. The world is weird right now, and I want both you and me to enjoy driving a car into a man. It very much sounds like it's got Stephen Root from Barry in it! I love Stephen Root from Barry! But, god, am I feeling some kind of way about it constantly sucking all the air out of the room. It feels less like we're looking forward to a game, more that we're in thrall to a captor that knows it can command attention whether it earns it or not. ( I do not believe Red Dead Redemption 2's excellence earns uncritical hype for all future projects, lest we forget Cyberpunk). There's plenty that can be said about the recent trailer, but if I had to sum up my own misgivings with it, it's that it has an air less of "look at this cool thing we made, we can't wait to share it with you", more dick-swinging swagger, a cocksure sense of, well, you're going to buy this anyway, here's some absurdly good-looking beer to tide you piggies over. |

"Infocom, known for their brilliant text adventures, was the first company to put physical items in with their games," writes Scott. "In fact, Infocom were attributed as the first to coin the term "feelies" for physical goodies that came with the game". |

At EVO Japan 2025, Bandai Namco revealed that Fahkumram, a character who first debuted in Tekken 7, would be the Summer 2025 DLC character for Tekken 8. Around the same time, paid and free Pac-Man themed cosmetics will launch in this Tekken entry. But before that, free Karate Kid: Legends items will show up alongside version 2.02 on June 3, 2025.
With the free items, it basically consists of cosmetics for us. We can get a Karate Kid: Legends Hoodie for characters to wear. The vision billboards will also show advertisements for the film. While those are free, a Tiger costume for Kuma and Calico costume for Panda will appear as paid Tekken Shop items around that time. (Free color scheme costumes will appear for both, however.) There will be a Dragunov costume 1 as well for cash.
Version 2.03 in Summer 2025 marks the debut of Battle Stage: Pac-Pixels, which is part of the Season 2 Character and Stage Pass. Free Pac-Man Hit Effects will be a part of Fight Pass Round 6, as will a 45th anniversary t-shirt cosmetic, Plushie Ghost Pack, and Pac-Man Ball for Tekken Ball. The paid Fight Pass Round 6 will include a Pac-Man Head, a Ready themed emoji, and a Play themed emoji.
As for Fahkumram, his teaser for Tekken 8 is quite small. We see him dropped out of the sky onto the battlefield. After he frees himself from his bindings, he tells the unseen person in front of him that they are his next victim.
Here's the full trailer for the Spring and Summer 2025 additions for Tekken 8, with the Karate Kid freebies coming up before the Pac-Man Pac-Pixels and Fahkumram DLC.
The last character DLC for Tekken 8 was Anna Williams. She debuted at the end of March 2025.
Lots of announcements came up at EVO Japan 2025 this year. We learned SNK and Good Smile Company are working on a Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves plush of Mai Shiranui. Overwatch 2 is getting Street Fighter character skins in May 2025 too.
Tekken 8 is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Storing money in a mattress in Cash Cleaner Simulator is an effective way of stacking and moving your bills once you've unlocked it.
The Mattress is one of many useful tools available for you to clean and move your bills. This particular tool can be purchased and placed at a spot you like. Then, all you have to do is to stack bundles of cash inside it (there's plenty of space to store plenty of bundles).
How to get the mattress in Cash Cleaner Simulator
There are two major ways of obtaining new tools in the game. Some, like the Washing Machine, are unlocked after you complete a few starter missions. You can't directly purchase them without finishing their required missions. Some, like the Mattress, can be purchased from the store and then put to use.
Once you purchase the Mattress, place it down at a suitable spot on the floor. Use your knife to unbind it, which will then allow you to store the cash bills.
How to store money in the Mattress in Cash Cleaner Simulator
The next part of the process involves stacking your bills into bundles. I haven't tried if you can store individual bills in the Mattress. The correct process seems to be storing them in the form of stacks, which also reduces the time required to store the bills.
Once done, take the stack and go to your Mattress. Press the right mouse button to drop, which will add the stack automatically to a vacant space. You can repeat the same process till the mattress is full with stacks of cash.
Press F to load up the Mattress once again after it's filled with the required bills. Take it then to the Delivery Point, and drop down the Mattress. That will complete the process of stacking the cash bills in your Mattress.
These tools are all essential parts of your business, but they will need more space to be used. Your priority should be to turn on the broken switch to complete the Light It Up quest, which will automatically expand the floor space and allow you to use more tools.
