Season of the Splicer introduces Destiny 2 players to a host of new activities, weapons, and features. If Guardians aren’t trying to tie their fashion game together through universal ornaments, chances are they’re looking for the next pinnacle weapon worth hours of endless grinding. Those Guardians definitely got what they wished for, as Destiny 2 players have the Null Composure to work towards. The quest itself is short, though Guardians will find that the grind is definitively back-breaking....

Destiny 2 released nearly 4 years ago and over that time since release, it has managed to create a dedicated community of fans. This group of gamers has showed off their passion for the sci-fi shooter through impressive cosplays of popular characters along with artists’ illustrations of some of the most intricate characters and guns found in the game. One fan named uhohspaghetti000 has taken a different approach to exhibit their love of Destiny 2 by creating 3D concept art of a Legendary Hand Cannon....

Even though Destiny 2 seems to have just received its best expansion in quite a long time now, many players have some trouble enjoying the game due to a number of performance problems. Some of these include a generally lower frame rate with each new content drop, slow user interface, and character and weapon models not loading in properly. Various intermittent performance problems have been a mainstay in the PC version of Destiny 2 for some time now, with Bungie seemingly unable to keep the game in top condition as of late....

Because Destiny 2 is a looter-shooter where every piece of gear matters, a huge amount of emphasis is put on the weapons and armor pieces players can obtain that each have random rolls or unique perks. There are several elements and damage types in Destiny 2, and plenty of different weapon archetypes as well, meaning there are many possible combinations to explore - some of which haven’t yet been explored. For example, the newly introduced glaive is a hybrid weapon that’s both a melee polearm and a projectile-shooting gun, but because it’s new there are only two variants: one that deals Void damage, another that deals Solar damage....

Like many fan communities, Destiny 2 players are always looking for ways to highlight and share their love of the Bungie’s space fantasy looter-shooter. Players need only look at the various content creators to see examples of this, whether its opinion pieces from Datto or deep-dive lore videos from MyNameIsByf. One Destiny streamer took a different route, dropping bars in a freestyle on stream using his Crucible gameplay as inspiration....

The explosive discrimination lawsuit recently filed against Activision Blizzard has been a major PR black eye for the Call of Duty and WoW publisher, but thus far, we haven’t heard much about any real-world repercussions. Now-former Blizzard president J. Allen Brack fell on his sword, but thus far, that’s been it. Well, it seems heads are beginning to roll at Blizzard, and some high-profile names have been claimed. According to an insider report from Kotaku, Diablo IV director Luis Barriga, Diablo IV lead designer Jesse McCree, and World of Warcraft senior designer Jonathan LeCraft were let go today....

Most gamers are probably interested in games that evolve, either graphically, narratively, or technologically. However, some fans like to see things go the other way, into something which is referred to as a demake. Take, for example, the recent Bloodborne demake which scales the visuals back so it looks more like a PS1 game. Now, someone has done a similar thing with Doom, which not only looks like a much older game, but is running on a system that was never meant to be compatible with 3D games in the first place....

Doom Eternal has several difficult multi-stage boss fights during its campaign so players can get some help in the form of Sentinel Armor. This boost is completely optional and can be turned down when offered to players after dying a few times. Doom Eternal recently received its second story expansion in the form of The Ancient Gods Part 2, which added even more single-player missions, more boss fights, and a new Sentinel Hammer weapon for players to crush Hell Demons with....

Today, Apple has seen fit to release watchOS 8.1.1 with an important fix for the Apple Watch. Even though this is a minor update, it does bring a notable fix for the Apple Watch Series 7. The new update arrives three weeks after the company saw fit to release watchOS 8.1 to the general public. The latest watchOS 8.1.1 brings a fix for the charging issue on the Apple Watch Series 7....

The term “homebrew” comes up a lot in discussions about tabletop role-playing games, or TTRPGs. The concept has existed since the beginning of the genre, with game masters tweaking their games as they saw fit or building whole new games from the ground up using only basic information from existing RPGs. Most of them are based on the vast framework of the Dungeons & Dragons universe, which has an impressive library of materials these days, along with all of the spinoff and supplemental content available, the concept of the homebrewed game is more accessible than ever before....

Dying Light 2 features a highly fleshed-out crafting system that allows players to craft many wacky weapons and items to help them achieve their goals. One Dying Light 2 player was able to upgrade their items to a point where they became seemingly invincible. While Dying Light 2 has a seemingly intense story owing to its source material, Techland never seems to take itself too seriously. The company has never been afraid to stray quite far away from realism, and many fans of the game are thankful for this....

e-RUPI an electronic voucher-based digital payment system has been developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the National Health Authority. Some of the benefits include cashless and contactless digital payment, connect service sponsors and beneficiaries digitally and it also ensures leak-proof delivery of various welfare services. Those who are unaware e-RUPI is a cashless and contactless digital payments medium that will be launched today at 4....

E3 was once the biggest video game event of the year, with the biggest companies using it to make blockbuster announcements. An E3 event took place in some capacity every year from its inception in 1995 until 2020, when E3 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. E3 made its return as a digital-only event in 2021, but it seems supposed plans for another digital-only E3 for 2022 have been scrapped as well....

Elden Ring, while very different from all the other past and future FromSoftware games, is still very obviously a FromSoft title. And, one of the largest reasons for this is that the overall ideologies, themes, and narrative devices that are seen in Elden Ring have a lot of similarities to all the FromSoft games before it. It’s clear as day that director Hidetaka Miyazaki likes to reuse story threads or concepts from past games in new ways in every title....

Elden Ring was one of the most anticipated games of 2022, and it appears to have been warmly received by many gamers around the world. Countless players are already exploring the Lands Between, picking fights with towering bosses, and scouring the game’s open-world for secrets. One Elden Ring player recently found a series of bloodstains that chronicle the ridiculous way another player died. Bloodstains in Elden Ring are a sign of danger in a given area–like in previous Soulsborne games, they show the location of other players’ deaths....

Just like with any other FromSoftware-type game, Elden Ring has a ton of difficult bosses. Some of them, like Radahn, feel purposely unfair in a way that players feel like they’ve “overcome” something in order to beat them. While others, like the Fire Giant, are a bit more centered around being health sponges. In both examples, there are hundreds of ways to approach these bosses, including some exploits. Let’s talk about some of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring that are sort of trivialized by a simple trick or item usage, as it’s always interesting to see how easily these enemies can be “broken down....

In FromSoftware’s Dark Souls, a player’s build is everything, so they have to choose their starting class wisely. Fans of Souls-like games are often drawn to the class-focused character optimization side of the genre, which is why it’s great to see Elden Ring bringing a class system of its own to the table. Just like its predecessors, Elden Ring asks players to choose a class that will determine the combat options available for the rest of the game....

Elden Ring encourages the player base to explore every inch of the world. It’s filled with secrets and hidden paths, but fans may even come across some glitches along the way. While Elden Ring’s performance issues are well-documented, it looks like the bugs are not that serious and hopefully, players will not run into any game-breaking issues. As an example of a glitch, an Elden Ring player got teleported outside the level while backstabbing an NPC invader, which ultimately led to their death....

A lot of developers and publishers have become a bit more enlightened when it comes to loot boxes in recent years, removing them from games altogether or tweaking them to be more fair. Meanwhile, the makers of The Elder Scrolls Online have stuck to their guns, only allowing randomized Crown Crates to be purchased with real money. Sure, ESO does hand out some free Crown Crates here and there, but if you want one right now, you’ve got to cough up....

Elon Musk has been a pro-baby guy. He has been making noise about the population growth and how it is slowing down. A lot of people from the Republican party also came into the discussion and said that we are also trying to increase population growth. No one worries about it… but Republicans are trying to get the word out. People need to start reproducing more. — Lavern Spicer (@lavern_spicer) January 18, 2022...
