     Last Epoch Season 2 sees the RPG's player count soar above Path of Exile 2

It's been a big month for Path of Exile 2, as its Dawn of the Hunt update dropped and saw huge swathes of players switch back over to the early access ARPG. One of its main rivals, Last Epoch, foresaw this and delayed its own Season 2 update to dodge it. It seems that this forward thinking, and the exciting contents of Season 2, have worked in perfect harmony, because its player count has just skyrocketed on Steam. So much so, in fact, that there are currently more people playing it than Path of Exile 2.

More Digimon Story: Time Stranger Characters Revealed

Bandai Namco's been sharing details about Digimon Story: Time Stranger characters on social media, and we now know a lot more about the cast and various Digimon set to appear as a result. While some of the early announcements about the game confirmed Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki as protagonists and Patamon, Gomamon, or DemiDevimon as the starters, the latest few images and trailers highlighted other important people. 

First, here's a gallery of the latest images highlighting Dan and Kanan, which point out their roles at the Special Investigation Bureau ADAMAS, and their three possible partners. The descriptions for the partners highlight their special moves, attributes, and types as well.

Some of the new additions introduced Inori Misono and her partner Digimon Aegiomon, who will both fight alongside us when we go through the story. In the case of Inori, supposedly an incident in her past shaped who she is today and set her on this course, but we don't know what it is yet.

One of the places we'll visit in the game is Central Town, where the Iliad Digimon live. It is run by the Mega Deity Merukimon. While he's an ally and person we'll turn to in the game, it's unknown if he'll actually fight alongside us as well. This is a Digimon we've seen in past games, and it also appeared in both Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory.

The other reveals involved short trailers of Digimon we'll meet, fight, and perhaps even recruit on social media. Here's the full list of links of them, as well as their types and attributes.

Digimon Story: Time Strangers will release sometime in 2025 for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The Mansion in Blue Prince

There are rare spots in Blue Prince where you can use the Gold Coins you get to good use, and the Shrine is certainly among the best.

You can spend your coins at this spot to receive different blessings. The more coins you spend, the better the blessings become. This guide will help you by explaining how the blessings work in Blue Prince.

How does the Shrine function in Blue Prince?

The Shrine is located on the Estate Grounds and offers blessings that last up to three days. All blessings and their in-game buffs are temporary, meaning you'll have to keep investing to keep the effects alive. After a certain point, the duration of the buffs can be increased to more days (but the number of options will feel limited).

Let's take a look at all the buffs you can obtain by donating the Gold Coins.

All Shrine Blessings in Blue Prince

Here's the complete set of all the buffs you can obtain with the help of Gold Coins in Blue Prince.

Coins Required Boost Effect
1 Dancer Allows you to draft floorplans on the spinning wheel at the cost of one Gem
3 High Roller You get +1 die in all shop rooms, and all rolls give +5 Coins
5 Gardener Adds a total of eight Courtyards to your pool of draftable rooms
7 Chef Get an extra dish in the Dining Room
8 Red General Get +5 Gems if you have six Red Rooms of different ranks
11 Tinkerer Every drafted Mechanical Room will trigger your active experiment
13 Monk Ending a day inside a room may cause it to appear on the Grounds next day
15 Berry Picker Allows you to choose a Berry that rewards you with a random Floorplan during the draft
17 N/A Resets the list to the start, but all buffs last for four in-game days
33 N/A Resets the list to the start, but all buffs now last for five in-game days

If you have a lot of Gold Coins that have no other uses, opting for a blessing from the Shrine can be really useful. Some of the boosts can have a telling influence on your pursuit for the final goal.

The Challenge Horn in RS: Dragonwilds

Facing the mighty General Velgar requires gathering key items for the Challenge Horn. Among them is the Dragon Tooth, a vital component crafted from the bones of a titan wyrm. Prepare for a perilous hunt and learn how you can obtain the Dragon Tooth in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Where to find Dragon Tooth in RS: Dragonwilds

During the Dragon Slayer Primary Quest, you'll uncover the Challenge Horn recipe from the spirit, Cathan, near the gates of the boss fight. You'll receive a hint regarding the Dragon Tooth location, but the instructions are relatively vague. What's more, the quest marker's radius casts a pretty wide net, further increasing the challenge. To narrow it down, go to the southwest area of Stormtouched Highlands.

Dragon Tooth location on Stormtouched Highlands map

Before venturing into this area, I highly recommend preparing first, including acquiring an Iron Pickaxe and Lodestone. While they aren't a requirement, these two items will make this entire process much more manageable. The Iron Pickaxe has the strength needed to mine the Dragon Tooth, but you'll first need to gather Iron Bars, Blightwood, and Hard Leather to craft it. However, if you don't want to spend all that time looking for these materials, you can opt to use the Rocksplosion spell. I've tested both methods, and they each work on the Dragon Tooth, no matter which one you choose.

For your Lodestone, I recommend setting it at the southern edge of the highlands. It's a smart safety net if things go sideways—and trust me, they often do. The area around the Dragon Tooth is crawling with danger, and having a quick escape can make all the difference. Once you're ready to tackle the dangerous Stormtouched Highlands, you must look out for an enormous dragon skull. It'll have teeth on it, which you can mine or cause an explosion to collect the crucial item for the Crafting Horn recipe.

Finding the dragon skull in the highlands

Be warned, an enemy base camp is near this skull, but with some stealth, you might be able to slip past. You'll also encounter a few critters in the area. Although they look adorable, don't be fooled. They attacked me every time I tried mining the Dragon Tooth. Therefore, it's best to get rid of them to avoid being killed.

You only need one Dragon Tooth for the Crafting Horn recipe, so there's no need to mine additional ones. I haven't found much use for the Dragon Tooth outside of the Primary Quest, but there could be a hidden recipe tied to it yet to be uncovered. If you happen to die in the Stormtouched Highlands, the Dragon Tooth will stay in your inventory. You'll still need to collect the rest of your gear from the tomb, though, which is where the Lodestones come in to help.

To get further in the RuneScape: Dragonwilds' Dragon Slayer quest, you must gather five Bronze Bars and one Bloodwood Sap. You may have already obtained Bronze Bars through the processing of Tin and Copper Ore. As for the Bloodwood Sap, you must craft an Iron Logging Axe and head to Bloodblight Swamp's castle to chop down a big tree. With all the ingredients, you can make the Challenge Horn, gearing you up for the challenging General Velgar Dragon boss fight.

Shiny and Mythic Pets in Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY

In Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY, there are two special variations that a Pet can hatch: Shiny and Mythic. By default, there is a 2.5% chance of a Pet hatching as a Shiny one and a 1% chance of it hatching as a Mythic Pet. Very rarely, both of these can occur at the same time, in which case you get a Shiny Mythic Pet. Shiny and Shiny Mythic Pets can also be crafted by combining 10 Regular/Mythic Pets.

The Shiny and Mythic Pets have greatly increased stats and rarity. This is how Pet stats scale in BGSI depending on the variation of it:

  • Shiny: 1.5x of the regular Pet stats
  • Mythic: 1.75x of the regular Pet stats
  • Shiny Mythic: 2.625x of the regular Pet stats

How to Trade in Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY

Preview of the trade invite window in Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Roblox experience
You can invite people to trade only if they are on the same server.

Before you can trade with others in Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY, you have to reach Outer space, which is actually really simple if you use the trampoline to jump up. From then on, you can trade with anyone who is on the same server as you are. However, trying to find someone to trade with by asking in the chat can be difficult. Instead, you can go on the official BGSI Discord server and try to find trades there. The trade channels you can look out for are #bgsi-trading and #bgsi-offers.

How to Get Verified and Send Offers Using the BGS Bot

  • A player getting verified by the BGS Bot on Discord
  • How to edit your Roblox profile to get verified with the BGS INFINITY Bot on Discord
  • How to trade with the BGS Bot in the Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Roblox experience
  • How to make a trade offer using the BSG Bot on Discord in Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Roblox experience
  • Preview of the #bgsi-offers channel on the official Discord server of the Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Roblox experience

To automate the trading process, you can use the BGS Bot to post trades in the #bgsi-offers channel. First, send the following message to the BSG Bot to get verified: "/verify [your_roblox_username]." From then on, you can use "/offer [trade]" to make a trade that will be posted in the #bgsi-offers channel.

That concludes our Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Pet trade value list. If you want to get some freebies to help you get started in this bubbly simulator experience, then check out our BGS INFINITY codes.
