As a writer I am very familiar with the sounds of typing. I mean most of us are in modern work right? We send emails, messages, tweets, more emails, documents, to each other constantly and the tool we use to do that is the humble keyboard. Though I've spent a pretty penny buying a nice keyboard, the Logitech G815 if you must know, it's nothing on the amount people are spending on high quality, luxury keyboards these days. And TikTok won't let me forget it. The For You Page or FYP on TikTok is, as the name suggests, catered to the tastes of the viewer. TikTok's algorithm decides what I do and don't like and 99.9% of the time it's scarily accurate. One topic it sensed I had an interest in is PC gaming (who would have guessed it), and by extension keyboards. Delicious, tactile, softly clicking, keyboards. I love them. Hearing the soft tip-tip tapping of the keyboards makes my mouth water. It fires off some of the most satisfying endorphins and I've not quite worked out why. I'm not … [Read more...] about Help I have fallen into keyboard TikTok and I can’t get out

I never need much of an excuse to fire up Valheim. After the initial 200+ hour binge back in February when it launched on Steam's Early Access, Iron Gate's Viking survival game has become my go-to game if I just want to chill for an hour or five. Like others, I've been impatiently waiting for the Hearth and Home update to land, so I was excited to jump in to see how much has changed and whether it has a significant impact on general gameplay. As suggested, I decided to start a new world (opens in new tab) with a new character, and the first noticeable difference is the stamina bar. It looks smaller—shorter?—at baseline, and numbers have been added to indicate how much stamina you're using when running or swinging your axe—or smacking that bloody annoying greyling that won't leave you alone. As I explored this new world, it felt like I had less stamina than before, but it's honestly hard to tell—maybe it just feels that way as you have actual numbers to look at now, rather … [Read more...] about Valheim’s Hearth and Home update has just enough to reel me back in

It's great when a developer listens to player feedback. Really listens, I mean. When players ask for something and the developer delivers, it's like co-op game development has taken place. Players can really feel like they've taken part in shaping the game, and devs get a happy community. Valheim's Hearth and Home update has just arrived, and with it there's all the stuff we've already talked about—a new food system (opens in new tab) and strategic vomiting (opens in new tab) , combat and weapon rebalancing (opens in new tab) , and some changes to health and stamina and how they work. But there's something else in Hearth and Home that I'm going to talk about below. And I don't want to spoil it unless you want it spoiled (or if you've already seen the trailer and read the patch notes) so please consider this one of many SPOILER ALERTS! In short: Valheim players asked for something, and they got it, but Valheim's developers gave it to them in a way that's so perfectly … [Read more...] about Valheim just gave players an item they asked for in the most awesomely Valheim way possible

The cosmic pokemon, Cosmoem, will arrive in Pokemon Go for the first time during the Evolving Stars Event . The event runs from October 5 at 10 AM to October 11 at 8 PM local time.

There are all manner of cute little slimes to find in Slime Rancher 2 , but you'll need to work hard to find the Ringtail slime . This mischievous-looking raccoon-like slime hides itself during the day by literally becoming a statue—not much you can do with that. Its appetite also works differently from most other slimes, making it a little more challenging to get Plorts from. In this guide, I'll show you where to get Ringtail slimes and how to get those all-important Plorts. Slime Rancher 2: Where to find Ringtail slimes You'll be able to find Ringtail slimes at Starlight Strand during the day and at night. There's also a Ringtail Gordo slime and the majority of the regular slimes can be found to the east of it. To reach Starlight Strand you'll need the jetpack (opens in new tab) , which you'll have created when hunting for Moondew nectar. (opens in new tab) There's a catch: when exposed to sunlight, i.e. during daylight hours, Ringtail slimes will turn to … [Read more...] about Where to find Ringtail slimes in Slime Rancher 2

Netflix's Marilyn Monroe movie, Blonde, which stars Ana de Armas in the lead role, is now available to stream. Since first announced, Blonde has been steadily making waves and generating buzz for its position as Netflix's first NC-17 original film. Blonde was written and directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Mindhunter), and is based on the 2000 Joyce Carol Oates novel. The movie is not a traditional biopic however, as it blurs the lines between fact and fiction, Netflix said. It tells the story of how a woman, Norma Jeane Baker, became the incredibly popular celebrity Marilyn Monroe in the '50s and '60s. Because of its blurring of fictional and non-fictional elements, de Armas told Empire over the summer, "It's a film that is supposed to create controversy and discomfort." That's a messaging that she, Dominik, and Netflix have been repeatedly putting out about the film. For example, even before release, it was publicized that … [Read more...] about PSA: Ana De Armas NC-17 Netflix Movie Blonde Now Available For Streaming

Netflix's is getting even bigger in October, with more new movies and TV shows to watch--including original content. October means Halloween, and while Netflix is of course getting lots of horror picks, there is also some nice variety with other picks also deserving of your attention. Among the scary content, Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities is definitely worth a look. Coming to Netflix on October 25, the horror anthology series packs in eight episodes with their own story, and del Toro says it's "a show I always wanted to make." Among the eight stories, six coming as adaptations from the classical horror genre the anthology is named for, and an additional two are original works by del Toro himself. According to Netflix, del Toro has curated a collection of "unprecedented and genre-defining stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror." Check out the trailer below, which features a look at the show's monsters and also offers a taste of the collection's … [Read more...] about New On Netflix In October 2022: Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, Big Mouth Season 6

Audio player loading… Two months after denying a rumor (opens in new tab) that Stadia is shutting down, Google has announced that Stadia is shutting down (opens in new tab) . "While Stadia's approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service," Stadia general manager Phil Harrison wrote. Stadia owners will continue to have access to their libraries until January 18, 2023, and all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, and game and add-on content purchases made through the Stadia store, will be refunded. Most refunds are expected to be completed by mid-January. Despite Stadia's failure to catch on with gamers, Harrison said the technology behind it "has been proven at scale and transcends gaming." "We see clear opportunities to apply this technology … [Read more...] about Stadia is closing down in January, hardware and software purchases to be refunded
