Destiny 2’s Annoying Duality Dungeon Bug Is Finally Getting Fixed

1 year 6 months ago

Season of Plunder has been live for roughly seven weeks, and it’s had its fair share of bugs and glitches throughout the season. We’ve had Exotic armor pieces being too strong, to phasing through walls, and randomly dying from doing an encounter correctly. It hasn’t exactly been a perfect season to say the least. That said, the official Bungie Help page on Twitter has given an official statement in regards to when the Duality Dungeon will finally be fixed:

For those unaware, the newest dungeon in Destiny 2, Duality, has a few bugs, such as the one mentioned above. This issue would unintentionally kill players when they try to begin the damage phase against the final boss. Although, it doesn’t happen every time, it’s more of a 50/50 chance of it happening. It’s great to see Bungie finally acknowledge this issue, though it’s concerning they didn’t mention the other glitch in the dungeon.

How to Get the Cyber Skeleton in Cyberpunk 2077

1 year 6 months ago

Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a massive resurgence in popularity thanks to the incredible success of the newest Netflix anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. As a result, fans have found many of the show’s landmarks, items and songs within the game. Some may wonder, though, if the ever-powerful (but exceedingly dangerous) Cyber Skeleton can be acquired in the game. Here’s what we know about whether you can get the Cyber Skeleton in Cyberpunk 2077.

*Warning: Some potential spoilers for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are ahead.*

Can You Get the Cyber Skeleton in Cyberpunk 2077?

To quell some hopes for a moment, you can not get the Cyber Skeleton in Cyberpunk 2077. The only time it is seen in the game is when fighting against Militech Centaurs. As a result, gamers can not take advantage of the suit’s incredible power.

Maybe this is for the best concerning V: a suit as powerful as the Cyber Skeleton would be sure to trigger hefty amounts of Cyberpsychosis, especially on top of the massive amount of Cyberware you are encouraged to equip in the game. Still, perhaps it would be a cool addition to show an inside perspective on how your character deals with Cyberpsychosis. Maybe this could be a cool addition to the inevitable Cyberpunk sequel, but given CD Projekt Red’s busy schedule, be prepared to wait a little while for that.

How to Switch Servers in Overwatch 2

1 year 6 months ago

Overwatch 2 has just been released for PC and consoles, though you might have some trouble actually getting into the game if you’re playing during peak hours. With so many login errors and bugs with the game itself, actually playing it seems like an arduous task. Here’s how to switch servers in Overwatch 2.

Switching Servers in Overwatch 2

If you’re experiencing high server congestion, switching your server region to a less congested one may actually help you get into the game a bit faster. While there’s no way to check the population of each server in Battle.net, it doesn’t hurt to just switch it and try your luck elsewhere.

To do this, click on the little globe icon in the Battle.net launcher. It should be located next to the Play button when you have Overwatch 2 selected.

From here, choose a region from the dropdown box, and you’re all good to go. Hit the Play button to boot the game up and hopefully your queues will go a little smoother.

Can You Switch Servers on Other Platforms?

Unfortunately, you’ll only be able to change your server or region if you’re using the Battle.net client on PC. If you’re playing on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch, you’re stuck with whichever server is based in your location, and you’ll need to wait out the queues if they happen to be congested.

1 year 6 months ago

If you can’t see your Overwatch 2 friends list, then you’re not alone at this party. A ton of Overwatch 2 players have been reporting this issue, due to which their friend list is appearing empty. As a result, users are flocking to the internet to find a fix. If you’re also struggling to figure out how to get your Overwatch 2 friend list to show, then you should check out this guide.

Overwatch 2 Friends Not Showing Up Fix

As of writing, it seems that the empty friend list in Overwatch 2 is just a bug, and the developers will acknowledge all the known issues in one of the upcoming hotfixes. Fortunately, there are a few alternative ways through which you can join your friends’ party and hop into the matches together.

  • Restart the game.
  • Get your friends to send you an invite.
  • Use the chat function to invite your friends.

We’ll go over each method in a bit more detail below.

Restart Overwatch 2

Many Overwatch 2 players have reported that restarting the game is the best way to retrieve your friend list. It usually happens when multiple players are trying to connect to the game simultaneously, and the servers stop responding.

Do be warned, however, that if you’re playing during peak hours, you may be forced to wait in queue again to get in.

Have Your Friends Send an Invite

If you’re the only one in your team affected by this bug, then you can ask your friends to send you an invite. And if you’re in a party and need to invite someone else, get your party leader to send them a friend request so they can be added to the group.

Once the friend request has been accepted, click on the Social option on the main menu, click on the friend’s username, and invite them to the group.

To Your Eternity Season 2 Gets New Trailer; Utada Hikaru’s PINK BLOOD Is Still a Bop

1 year 6 months ago

To Your Eternity is quickly emerging as one of the more popular anime series in the market right now, thanks in no small part to its heartwarming and engaging story, as well as its compelling characters like Fushi. The show’s second season is set to air later this month, and a new trailer has just dropped.

You can check out the trailer for yourself down below:

Season 2 will pick up where the first season left off, and as the trailer reveals. Utada Hikaru’s PINK BLOOD will likely still be the opening theme for the series, which we definitely won’t complain about, since it’s a total banger.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the story:

In the beginning, an “orb” is cast unto Earth. “It” can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates “it”; and come back to life after death. “It” morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, “it” becomes Fushi. Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills, but grows as a “person”. But his journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people he loves.

To Your Eternity is set to air on Oct. 23.

How to Get Moondew Nectar in Slime Rancher 2

1 year 6 months ago

Moondew Nectar is a new food type added in Slime Rancher 2. This food is evasive and if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you might end up with some hangry flutter slimes in your Conservatory. If you need more to feed your personal friends or just to see what’s under the Flutter Gordo you are in the right place. Follow along as we let you know How to Get Moondew Nectar in Slime Rancher 2.

Can You Farm Moondew Nectar in Slime Rancher 2?

Unfortunately at this time, you cannot farm Moondew Nectar in Slime Rancher 2. This means it may be best to appreciate flutter slimes in their natural habitat, as there aren’t any other types of nectar available to feed them. This includes the Flutter Gordo, which needs at least 16 nectar to pop.

If you need to farm flutter plorts for crafting or selling, we recommend setting up a market link or refinery link nearby so that you can grab any stray flutter plorts that you find. Keep in mind that Moondew Nectar is the Flutter Slimes’ favorite food as well, so each time one is eaten there will be two plorts produced.

How to Get to Starlight Strand in Slime Rancher 2

1 year 6 months ago

You may be wondering where you can find some of the cute new slimes introduced in Slime Rancher 2. While the Cotton Slime is in Rainbow Fields, which serves as the starting area, there really isn’t anything new there. In fact, most of the new slimes are hidden in the Ember Valley and Starlight Strand; and the game isn’t totally upfront with how or where you unlock these areas. Well have no fear, Twinfinite is here and we will show you how to get to Starlight Strand in Slime Rancher 2

Unlocking Starlight Strand in Slime Rancher 2

The first thing you want to keep an eye out for when exploring the Rainbow Fields is the Cotton Gordo. He’s just like his smaller counterparts but, well, really big. He sits firmly towards the southern part of the area and just south of where the refinery link and research drone are.

Moonbreaker Prioritizes Fun Over Flashiness (Hands-On Preview)

1 year 6 months ago

When Moonbreaker was first revealed last month, It definitely left the right impression. Despite still being in the early stages of its development, it already had enough depth to its lore and variety to its characters to give people plenty of reason to want to see more of it in action. Fast forward to today, and they’re more than capable of doing so through the game’s Early Access period, which offers a surprising amount of content considering how much of the game still needs to be worked on.

Having first seen the game through a hands-off reveal presentation, I was dying to get my hands on the title and see just how varied the gameplay could be with different team makeups. After doing just that, I can safely say that Moonbreaker is everything it appears to be in addition to being one of the most entertaining turn-based strategy games I’ve played in a long time.

Granted, this might be hard to believe based on the screenshots and footage of the game that’s currently available. The developers at Unknown Worlds Entertainment have definitely embraced a less bombastic animation style, with this game’s miniatures moving and acting exactly as they would if someone were playing a real-world tabletop equivalent.

In action though, this is part of the game’s appeal. The gameplay isn’t held up by bells and whistles that are meant to make attacks and movements seem more believable. Instead, it’s all about making the moves that will inch the player toward a perfectly executed strategy and closer to victory, sans any fluff that might get in the way.

Blizzard to Remove Overwatch 2’s Controversial Login Requirement for Most Players

1 year 6 months ago

The launch of Overwatch 2 has been a tumultuous one, with plenty of server errors and awful queue times plaguing the experience. Not only that, but the new SMS Protect feature has been a source of huge controversy as well, as players with pre-paid phone plans were unable to bind their accounts to their number.

Blizzard has since published a new update on the status of Overwatch 2’s launch, with the headline being that they’ll be removing the phone number requirement for most Overwatch 2 players and Battle.net members. This change hasn’t gone live just yet, but will take effect on Friday, Oct. 7.

“We have made the decision to remove phone number requirements for a majority of existing Overwatch players. Any Overwatch player with a connected Battle.net account, which includes all players who have played since June 9, 2021, will not have to provide a phone number to play. We are working to make this change and expect it to go live on Friday, October 7. We will update players once it is in effect.”

That being said, new accounts made after June 9 will still be required to adhere to the phone number requirement, and Blizzard states that they are still committed to combating disruptive behavior in-game, and this should help with that. The company goes on to state that they’ll continue to listen to feedback and make changes in this area if necessary.

All Songs in She-Hulk Season 1: Full Track List & Artists

Disney+’s She-Hulk is a pretty huge departure from the MCU in terms of tone. It’s way more comedic and a little bit more slapstick than you’d expect, and the stakes are definitely much lower than in your typical superhero flick. To go with the lighter tone, She-Hulk also has a banger soundtrack that really fits the vibe. Here’s a full list of all the songs featured in She-Hulk so far.

Blizzard backtracks on Overwatch 2 SMS verification for legacy players

1 year 6 months ago

Blizzard has pulled back from its requirement that players add their mobile phone number to their Battle.net account in order to play Overwatch 2.

It was previously mandatory for players to enroll in the "SMS Protect" system to access the game. Players who declined would be unable to login to the game's servers.

Blizzard argued that SMS Protect was necessary as the game transitioned to a live service free-to-play model, in order to combat "disruptive behaviour" and stop banned users simply creating a new account.

A Demonic Supernatural Chiller Is Possessing Streaming Charts Right Now

1 year 6 months ago

Fall is finally here and you know what that means, right? And no, we’re not talking about pumpkin spice lattes or candy apples (though they are pretty awesome!). Instead, we’re talking about horror flicks to enjoy during the creepiest time of the year: Halloween. That’s right, it’s officially time to get your spook on with a bunch of scary movies, and we may just have the perfect blood-splattered ticket for you. Don’t just take it from us, though, as the feature is also really dominating streaming right now as well.

Specifically, the spine-chilling thriller is 2014’s Deliver Us From Evil, which has managed to ascend its way into Hulu’s Top 10 most-watched films. According to FlixPatrol, the devilish horror pic has nabbed the fourth spot on the entire streaming platform and has rocketed up two places compared to the day before.

Directed by horror auteur Scott Derrickson, who helmed other acclaimed classics in the genre like 2005’s The Exorcism of Emily Rose and 2012’s rather excellent Sinister, Deliver Us From Evil is an unusual blend of exorcism-based terror and cop drama. You see, the story is actually loosely based on the actual accounts of an NYPD Sergeant who ended up leaving the police force in a bid to help priests with exorcisms.

Why Is Daredevil’s Suit Yellow in She-Hulk? Answered

1 year 6 months ago

Daredevil has finally made his long-awaited appearance in Disney+’s She-Hulk series, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. While he’s still being played by actor Charlie Cox, there is one key difference in his appearance. Here’s why Daredevil’s suit is yellow in She-Hulk.

Daredevil’s Yellow Suit in She-Hulk Explained

When Daredevil finally shows up, we see that instead of the classic all-red costume that he usually wears, his mask is a shade of gold instead. It’s likely that Daredevil opted to go for the red and yellow ensemble for his costume as a tribute to his dead father, Jack.

According to the comics, Matt Murdock has fashioned his suit out of his father’s boxing attire, which had shades of yellow and gold. He did this to honor his father and remember him, while also reminding himself why he was protecting Hell’s Kitchen.

In the Daredevil Netflix series, we also see that Jack had a yellow trim around his boxing hood. While the origin of his yellow suit isn’t explained in She-Hulk, it’s highly likely that this is the reason why.

That’s all you need to know about why Daredevil’s suit is yellow in She-Hulk. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more news and information on the series, including a full track list from the season so far, as well as Intelligencia’s role in the show.

What Is the Eye of Aldhani in Star Wars Andor? Explained

1 year 6 months ago

The nature of planets in Star Wars allows for beautiful double sunsets on Tatooine and other amazing occurrences in the sky; one event that’s sure to appear in season one of Andor is the Eye of Aldhani. What does the Eye of Aldhani look like and how does it affect Andor’s plot? Here’s everything you need to know on what the Eye of Aldhani is in Andor.

Star Wars Andor – What Is the Eye of Aldhani? Explained

The Eye of Aldhani, according to Lieutenant Gorn, is like “…50 meteor showers all at once, but like a curtain being pulled across the sky until the Eye, the window to the galaxy, forms over the horizon.” This breathtaking event happens every three years and normally brings most of the population to a valley near the Imperial garrison. The Empire relocated Aldhani citizens to urban areas so many are unable to see the Eye from their traditional spot.

The plan is for Andor’s team to use the Eye as a cover for their escape with the payroll records they steal. Luthen threatening to call off the mission if Vel doesn’t accept Andor onto his team in episode 4 makes sense now; since this is the only day every three years they have cover, there’s no chance of rescheduling the mission if anything goes wrong.

That’s everything we have on what the Eye of Aldhani looks like in Andor. Check out some of our other Cassian Andor content like our official Rogue One review, the meaning of Arvel Skeen’s tattoos, and what meds did Lieutenant Meero take in Andor.

Blizzard apologises, still working on Overwatch 2 launch woes

1 year 6 months ago

After a rocky launch, Blizzard has updated fans on its progress tackling some of the various issues which have plagued Overwatch 2 over the past 24 hours.

Many fans have been left unable to play for long periods, stuck in queues, left without access to previously-unlocked characters and items, or locked out of the game entirely by the requirement to log-in using their mobile phones.

These issues have been exacerbated by a series of DDOS attacks aimed at the game's servers. And today, following a bruising 24 hours, Blizzard has apologised.

Report: PS5 Gets Jailbroken, Man Installs PT

1 year 6 months ago

ps5 pt

Those who missed the chance to download PT from the PSN during its limited release on the PS4 will have the chance to get it for the PS5. Albeit, a PS5 that has been jailbroken. And you cannot actually launch it. Yet. But hey, at least you can see it on the main menu. A user named SpecterDev (aka Specter) has reportedly published a "jailbreak" (a reverse-engineering trick designed to "open up" closed hardware to run unauthorized software) for the PlayStation 5. Some users of the jailbreak have already employed it to install the defunct game PT to their PS5s. [Thanks, VG247!]

Here's a tweet thread from modder Lance McDonald demonstrating the jailbreak in action and installing PT to a jailbroken PS5.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveals Girafarig Evolution, Photo Mode, & Many Interesting Gameplay Features

1 year 6 months ago

Today the Pokemon Company revealed a new trailer for the massively-anticipated Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Perhaps the most obvious new element showcased is an evolution for Girafarig named Farigiraf, but there are plenty of new and returning features showcased.

Speaking of new pokemon, we get to see Wiglett in battle for the first time, albeit only with the “Let’s Go” feature for now.

We take a look at photo mode, which lets you take selfies and snapshots of the environment.

Picnics let you party with your Pokemon and prepare delicious sandwiches with ingredients you find during your travels.

Terastallization looks like it’s really a primary element of the new game, and we get to see Tera raid battles, the ability to find and recruit terrastallizing Pokemon in the wild, and more.

More elements showcased are the TM machine lets you create your own TMs using materials that pokemon drop, and the path of legends featuring special encounters like titan Pokemon.

A glimpse of the nicely animated Paldean Pokedex is also provided, and more.

New Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Trailer Has Us Counting Down the Hours

1 year 6 months ago

There’s a smidge over three weeks left until the full release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and today we have been treated to a launch trailer showing off not only the cinematical visuals of the campaign but also some of the story. It’s the Goldilocks of trailers in that it is perfectly balanced with how it gives just enough information to anticipate what the full game will bring.

Continuing from the first remake of the original Modern Warfare games, Soap and Captain Price will once again join forces to combat the newest threat. There are plenty of familiar faces seen in the trailer that is sure to give those who remember the original Modern Warfare 2 a chill. We kind of hope things go better/differently this time around.

The trailer does also bear the reminder that digital pre-orders will get to experience the campaign a week early starting Oct. 21. Considering the look of the trailer, that’s a very fair deal.

1 year 6 months ago

Players went wild for the RGX 2.0 bundle, then, more recently, hype for the Reaver 2.0 saw fever-pitch levels of excitement. But the real ones know we’re still desperately missing the second edition of one of Valorant’s most beautiful designs ever — the Ion. Well, one extremely talented creator has put together a mock-up of what the Valorant Ion skin might look like, and I know I’m not the only one hoping Riot takes notice.

FIFA 23 Lengthy Players Explained: How to Make a Lengthy Player, What It Means & AcceleRATE Explained

1 year 6 months ago

FIFA 23 brings with it the usual updated rosters and refreshes to the popular Ultimate Team game mode, but it also makes some significant changes to the on-the-pitch action, specifically around how certain player builds feel to use in a match. The AcceleRATE system in FIFA 23 is one of the most notable changes introduced in this year’s football title, and that introduces the Explosive, Controlled, and Lengthy player types.

Lengthy players have quickly been discovered to be the attacking ‘meta’ in FIFA 23, meaning they’re incredibly powerful and the ‘go-to’ if you want to give yourself the best chances of winning. Not only are they formidable in the air, they’ve also now got the blistering pace to go with it… once they get up to speed.

In this guide, we’ll be explaining everything you need to know about FIFA 23’s AcceleRATE system, what lengthy players are in FIFA 23, how to create them, and the top 25 best lengthy players in FIFA 23 you can get right now. So, without further ado, let’s dive into it.

What Is AcceleRATE in FIFA 23?

AcceleRATE is a new ‘mechanic’ of sorts that essentially defines players’ sprinting and acceleration style dependent on their Strength, Agility, Acceleration and Height stats. Have players meet or exceed specific stats in these and they’ll be an Explosive, Controlled, or Lengthy pace type.

Explosive players are incredibly fast at accelerating up to their top speed, but their max speed will be lesser than other players. They’re great for short burst sprints or one-on-one scenarios, but will struggle over greater distances.

Lengthy players start off slowly in terms of acceleration, but once they get into their stride can massively outpace other players on the pitch. Over long distances, lengthy players will almost always reign supreme in a footrace.
