An important PSA for new players about rocks. Many games bog players down with lengthy and exhaustive tutorials, explaing every single facet of the game in extreme detail before the player even gets a chance to explore. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is not this type of game. It very much goes for a “show, don’t tell” approach, despite how much text and dialogue is actually built into the title. The consequences of this are clear though as players around the world jump into their first adventure in the series, often finding themselves confused about various things....
When Netflix announced it would launch a Discord bot, fans were thrilled and looking forward to its release. However, it seems that the Netflix Discord bot has dropped the ball, leaving out a highly requested feature. The Netflix Twitter uploaded a teaser for the Hey, Netflix Discord bot, showing numerous features. But one notably absent feature is the ability to create watch parties. Not including this feature is a big miss on Netflix’s part, as watch parties would be a fantastic way for gamers to take a break and watch their favorite movies and shows together....

It’s Time for the End of March Pokemon GO! Genesect Event A little while back, Niantic released a patch for Pokemon GO! with quality of life improvements to make it easier to distance yourself while still catchin’ em’ all socially.

There are three specializations available in The Division 2, and Ubisoft is adding a fourth named the Gunner.

As the name suggests, the Gunner specializes in shooting their down enemies using their specialization’s unique weapon, the minigun. When the Division Agent pulls out their minigun, they’re going to receive a boost in armor points as they assume the role of their group’s tank....
At its peak, the game had around 913 thousand concurrent players. After only a month the player base shrunk down to 508,000 players, and in the most recent week, the player base peak at only 377,000. Though it isn’t uncommon for games to peak at launch and lose players gradually, the big dip in New World’s number is concerning for the game’s future. It’s extra worrying considering that the game is meant to be long-lasting, with profits for the game to accumulate over time with the continued purchases of microtransactions....
World of Warcraft was the undisputed giant in the MMO genre for years. Though it doesn’t dominate the industry in the way it used to, thanks to multiple competitors rising to give players a break from battling across Azeroth, Blizzard’s flagship MMO continues to be popular enough to warrant ongoing support from the developer. The next phase of that support will be announced in the next few weeks, but we may already have a crucial detail about it if a leak from WoW Head, the popular World of Warcraft fan-site, is accurate....

Nintendo has always been a very conservative company, in both how they operate and how quickly they adapt to a changing market. One of the quirks that has helped keep the company afloat during more troubled times is the fact that they are very good at managing their money, keeping it locked away in the back, earning them money in interest, while having it on hand in case things go poorly....
