Get your fishing rod out. Screenshot by Destructoid It may be difficult to catch the Sorcerer Hat Hermit Crab, but after four or five rhythm beats, you should be able to catch this little guy.

There are a lot of seasonal events in Hello Kitty Island Adventure sprinkled throughout the year, offering chances to get a staggering number of items and rewards. February is the season of love, and the residents of Friendship Island like to get into the spirit of things. The Hugs & Hearts event is an annual celebration of love, friendship, and all things heart-shaped. This year, the event is taking place between February 8 and February 22, with a chance for new players to get their hands on items for the first time and veterans to grab anything they might have missed. If you recently purchased the Deluxe edition of Island Adventure for PC or Switch, you’ll have these items waiting for you once you unlock the Deluxe Event Bundle in-game after you complete the “Fish Noir” and “Comic Relief” quests. Here’s everything you need to know about the Hugs & Hearts event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, including how to take part, the rewards on offer, and all the details. How to take part in the Hugs and Hearts event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure Screenshot by Destructoid As soon as you open Island Adventure for the first time during the event's duration, Chococat will pull you to one side and tell you all about a new type of Critter that’s shown up. It’s called a Lovebug, and it can be found around Resort Plaza. Lovebugs are little pink caterpillars, and you’ll need to equip your net and try to track them down. You can capture one Lovebug per day during the event but don’t worry if the first one you see gets spooked. More will show up until you catch your daily allowance, allowing you multiple chances to capture the Critter. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you’ve caught a Lovebug, you’ll be able to place it in the Hugs & Hearts event stand, which is located between Pochacco’s usual spot and the beach. Placing a Lovebug into the event stand will turn it into a Chrysalis, and you’ll be able to select one reward per Lovebug you put into the building. Shortly before the event ends, the Lovebug Chrysalises will turn into Heartwings, which will flutter around the island until the end of the event. When the event finishes, Keroppi will give you one Heartwing as a keepsake of the event. All Hugs & Hearts event rewards and items in Hello Kitty Island Adventure Event rewards and items can be obtained through a few different sources, and it can be hard to keep track of everything to make sure you get the full collection. To help, here’s everything broken down into individual sources. Lovebug rewards Screenshot by Destructoid Each time you place a Lovebug into the event stand and it turns into a Chrysalis, you’ll be able to choose from the following list of nine exclusive event furniture items: Heart Arch Heart Table Heart Dining Chair Heart Divider Heart Ottoman Rose Petals Heartwing Tree Loveseat Heart Wreath Display Hugs & Hearts daily gifts Screenshot by Destructoid Each day during the event, a new daily gift will be given. Not all of them are event-specific, but all of them are useful. Here’s everything you’ll get during the event, with exclusive event items highlighted in bold: Day one: Rose Dress Day two: Rose Dress Crafting Plans Day three: 2 Red Dye Pouches Day four: 2 White Dye Pouches Day five: Heart Glasses Day six: 2 Red Bow Apple Pies Day seven: 2 Strawberry Almond Galettes Day eight: 2 Strawberry Crates Day nine: Rose Backpack Shop items available during the Hugs & Hearts event Screenshot by Destructoid Both Tuxedosam and My Melody will have exclusive items available for purchase during the event, selling clothing and furniture items, respectively. As these items are not guaranteed to show up on any given day of the event, it’s worth checking back daily and possibly hopping over to friends’ islands if they happen to have an item you desperately want. Clothing from Tuxedosam These items are pretty resource-heavy to purchase, so you might need to do some grinding (particularly with giving gifts to Cinamoroll, who will provide you with the much-needed Candy Clouds) to get everything you need.

Again, purchasing them is a pretty resource-heavy experience, and there’s no guarantee that any of these items will actually show up in your store during the event. You’ll need more Candy Clouds, a hoard of Ingots, and a fair amount of Rubber if you want to buy the following items: ItemCostHeart Balloon Bouquet5 Candy Clouds 20 RubberHugs & Hearts Habitat5 Candy Clouds 25 Ingots 25 Lotus BlossomsHeart BedTBDDouble Heart BedTBDHeart DresserTBDHugs & Hearts FlooringTBDHugs & Hearts WallpaperTBDHeart LampTBDHeart Plant BouquetTBDHeart Side TableTBD The post Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Complete Hugs & Hearts event guide appeared first on Destructoid.

When it comes to cooking in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you’re spoiled for choice. There are many different Cooking Stations to unlock and upgrade, and a long list of recipes to be cooked at each of them. Cooking is one of the best ways to get gifts for villagers in Island Adventure, but you’ll also likely need to do a lot of it to get past certain quests or to help you navigate treacherous terrain like Icy Peak. It can be hard to figure out what’s cooked and where and what you need to make everything, but this guide can help. Here’s how to unlock every Cooking Station available in Island Adventure for those playing on PC and Nintendo Switch, and what you’ll need to complete every recipe and fill out your collections.

When I first became self-aware in Heart of the Machine, I had the option to immediately ******* the humans near me and rush out into the city. I didn't. I waited, snuck out, and started copying myself into a pack of other android bodies. I/We fled, hid and built a mainframe in a sparsely populated area of the city. Expansion was difficult thanks to the local humans living in tents. The option was presented to remedy the problem with flamethrowers, but instead I figured I'd just build some free housing to clear up space. And thus, the robo-***** alliance was born, and I guess I'm now the caretaker of five thousand humans. Now they're demanding frivolous meatbag things like 'water' and 'food'.

While its player count has declined since its peak, Lost Ark still maintains a loyal community, with roughly 67,000 daily active users. View the full article

Sid Meier’s Civilization 7has taken some big strides to help make the series more accessible for new players. While older games weren’t necessarily impossible to get into, and short game times or lower difficulty levels helped a lot, players were still asked to absorb a lot of information to get started. Civ 7 does its best to both keep the complexity of the game that long-time fans expect while also making it easier to onboard new players. View the full article

There are a lot of things I love about sandbox games. Terraria gives you gear progression and big milestone boss fights. Astroneer invites you to explore space in search of that precious resource you're missing. Minecraft is a playground for creativity. But A Game About Digging A Hole boils the genre down to the part I truly love most - carving my way through acres of land. It's soothing, satisfying, and simple. Built by one developer in their spare time, the new indie game is already proving a winner on Steam. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

2023 was one of the best years for videogames we've ever had. Between Hi-Fi Rush, Final Fantasy 16, Diablo 4, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Alan Wake 2, and Baldur's Gate 3, it felt like every genre was covered with an excellent experience to call its own. Having so many bangers released back to back did mean that plenty of perfectly fine games struggled to find an audience, though, and Immortals of Aveum was one of them. If you fancy some magical FPS action in your life, then, now's the time to give the game a shot. It's dirt cheap and Denuvo has been quietly removed. Read the rest of the story...

Fairy tales are typically told to impart moral lessons to young, impressionable minds. But what if the story ends up true? That's the case with the Axe from the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and here's how to find it. The Axe from the Lake is a side activity in Kingdom Come 2. To start it, travel to the town of Tachov and look for a man called "Zdenyek the Mouth" at the tavern. If he's not there, try waiting for the evening when he's eating with the other townsfolk. Screenshot by Destructoid How to begin the Axe from the Lake activity Speak with Zdenyek and ask him about his reputation as the town storyteller. He'll make your acquaintance in his own special way before saying yes, he has some stories to share... for a price. You can convince him to tell you a story if you have the stats for it. He can also do it for a drink, but his fancy **** isn't keen on cheap booze. If you're early in the game, you can get him to sing by greasing his palms with 25 groschen. It's a small price to pay for the reward. Screenshot by Destructoid Zdenyek gives you three options for what kind of story you want to hear: something sad, scary, or informative. Choose "informative," and he'll launch into the tale of the woodcutter brothers Kuba and Matthias. The story is a tragic tale of jealousy and greed, leaving one brother dead, drowned in a nearby lake, and the other with a silver axe gifted by a water goblin. In the tale, Matthias, the surviving brother, takes Kuba's body and buries it with the axe on a hill past an oak tree and a rock. Zdenyek swears that it's true, and dares you to find the axe if you don't believe him. He gives you the coordinates to Rocktower Pond and tells you to look for the water goblin's pier where the story began. Screenshot by Destructoid How to find the Silver Axe from the Lake You must follow the short list of directions as told in Zdenyek's story. It starts with a pier hidden in the reeds at Rocktower Pond southwest of Tachov. Here are the instructions: Locate the water goblin's pier at Rocktower Pond Climb the nearby hill and look for an old oak tree Continue the climb until you find a large rock where Matthias attempted to break the axe Search up the hill from the rock for Kuba's grave You need a Spade to complete the final task. If you don't have a spade, you can purchase one from a merchant, such as Jurg Thomel in Troskowitz. More: Where to find the merchant’s tipped cart in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. When ready, head to the pond southwest of Tachov. You can zoom into your map to see the location of the pier. Screenshot by Destructoid Head to it to begin the hunt. Look for the shoddy pier among the reeds. You can have Henry look at the pier by pressing the LB button on a controller or the Left Alt key on PC. Screenshot by Destructoid Next, you must head up a nearby hill to look for the old oak tree where Matthias stopped. Turn around from the pier and walk north. Go past the road and look for a path heading up the hill. It goes past some large rocks. Screenshot by Destructoid Follow the path a short way and you'll run into the old oak tree. Screenshot by Destructoid Follow the path around the tree to the left. You'll soon find a large stone in a clearing surrounded by a ring of smaller stones left of the path. Screenshot by Destructoid Continue on the path but stop where it starts turning right at a dead tree. Look to the left for a grave under a tree with a full view of the river beyond. Press the button or key to unearth the grave. Screenshot by Destructoid Next to the corpse of Kuba is a sack with multiple items: Broken Round Shield Gemstone Silver Ring Marigold Broken Axe Screenshot by Destructoid You can take the axe for the quest, but I'd suggest also looting the Gemstone Silver Ring. It provides a nice charisma boost. How to repair the Silver Axe You must take the Broken Axe to a blacksmith's forge to repair it. The closest is Radovan's smithy back at Tachov. You also must have completed the blacksmith tutorial by speaking with Radovan early in the game. Check out our guide on blacksmithing in Kingdom Come 2 for more. Start blacksmithing and choose the Adorned Axe recipe. It requires Fastening Material, which you can purchase from the blacksmith if you need it. Craft the axe as you would normally, and soon the Silver Axe will be reborn as the Adorned Axe. Screenshot by Destructoid Here are the stats for the Adorned Axe (the price may differ based on quality): Slash Damage: 91.2 Blunt Damage: 45.6 Defense: 104 Charisma: 5 Price: 699.5 Return to Zdenyek and tell him you found the axe to finish the quest.

Unlocking the option to play with other humans (multiplayer) increases the scope of Civilization 7 by a massive margin, as it allows you to test your wits and strategization powers to the fullest. While the AI can prove to be a stern test, it can feel repetitive after a while. Thankfully, Civilization 7 fully supports multiplayer, as you can play with your friends to find out who's the best. In fact, the presence of online play also raises the scope for playing with strangers over the internet or organizing local events. How to setup multiplayer in Civilization 7 To play online, you'll have to open a 2K account. This step is free, but it's mandatory for any online session. If you already have an account, just log in. Once you're signed into your 2K account, you'll be able to join a lobby and participate in the game present on it. Alternatively, you can even create your own lobby and invite your friends/other players to participate. Civilization 7 offers you full control over your lobby, as you can tweak the basic rules, decide on the starting age, and more. You can also enjoy an offline multiplayer mode, which works via a functioning LAN network. This is suitable if you and your friends are present at the same location and have multiple devices. It's a great alternative to the online system. If you're on a console, you'll need an applicable subscription to host/participate in the online sessions. [Hidden Content] Does Civilization 7 have hot seat multiplayer? As of the early access, there is no hot seat multiplayer function. Having the feature is perfect if you're looking to introduce the game to your friends, as they can play on the same device. There's always a chance for the feature to be introduced later as part of a future update. The post How to play multiplayer in Civilization 7 appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

FromSoftware's take on multiplayer is easily my favorite part of the studio's games. The summoning system means you're completely alone and surrounded by other players simultaneously, with their bloodstains and cheeky messages acting like passing ships in the night. You can then call on a random player to help you finally beat that brick wall of a boss, only for them to slowly fade away when the task is done as they emote to you one last time. If you want to trudge through one of FromSoftware's games with a friend, however, the developer's online system can make that tough. That's why I'm thrilled to say that the creator behind Elden Ring's most popular mod has finally set their sights on doing the same for Dark Souls 3. Read the rest of the story...

But some players have encountered a particularly powerful bug that allowed them to bring the beast down in less than four minutes in total. Read the rest of the story...

While returning to the Hermit after fulfilling Ambrose's last wish in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Henry meets a few Order of The Cross knights, who after claiming that Konrad is guilty of betraying the brotherhood, enlist him to help in their quest. But should you turn your back on the hermit and aid the knights or fight by his side? And above all else, where does the truth lie? Here's whether you should kill or save Konrad the Hermit in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Table of Contents:Should you kill or save Konrad the Hermit in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? How to approach Konrad after you meet the knights What do you get for saving the Hermit in KCD 2? Should you kill or save Konrad the Hermit in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Although the choice will ultimately lie in how you want to play, I believe saving Konrad is both the right choice and the one that leads to the best outcome. The reason for that? He was indeed telling the truth and was only being hunted for discovering the betrayal within the order. Even though Konrad will claim the above during certain dialogues before and after facing the knights, you can get a clearer picture by reading his diary, located below a few sacks on the upper floor of his shack. Keep in mind that if the Hermit is saved, entering the shack will be considered trespassing. How to approach Konrad after you meet the knights Image by Destructoid After meeting the knights and either agreeing or being coerced to help, Konrad will be waiting for you with his crossbow at the ready. To approach him successfully and unlock the ability to save him, you must stop moving at the moment he tells you to and then hold "Look" before selecting "Try to get answers" and "I am not your enemy." Once he agrees to talk, wait for Konrad to put away his crossbow before resuming and heading towards him. This is a must, as even if you did receive the go-ahead, moving forward before he holsters the weapon will cause him to become hostile. To save Konrad, simply talk to him again, select "I'll help you," and defeat the knights. What do you get for saving the Hermit in KCD 2? Apart from finally being given the location of Ambrose's Broken Sword —which, funnily enough, can be acquired from the get-go if you manage to stumble upon it— saving the Hermit in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will prompt him to offer to reward you for your help. Should you accept, Henry will receive 85 Groschen. You will also be able to get a good amount of items by looting the bodies of the fallen knights, including an Order of the Cross Knight Shield and a lot of valuables worth good sums when resold. Now that you have everything you need, simply head back to Radovan to forge The Hermit's Sword and get one step closer to the main portion of the Wedding Crashers quest.

It's a nice house in a lovely suburb, peaceful and chill and not at all suspiciously affordable. You'd think a two-story home with attached garage and secluded back yard would run several hundred thousand easy, but nope. $10k gets the whole thing, and there's even a big red X in the yard indicating where the buried treasure is hidden. That's such a great deal anyone would be crazy not to jump at it, asking no questions at all and enjoying the rich mineral-laden land they're about to dig up.

Catherine the Great is one of the best leaders in Civilization 7for a Cultural Victory due to her Star of the North ability, which boosts Culture from Great Works and allows her to advance Technology research alongside Cultural growth. This will be a highlight of Catherine the Great's campaign strategy, as a Cultural Victory hinges on strong Production (especially during the Antiquity Age), as well as Science to ensure access to the best Food, Production, and Culture buildings. To achieve the Cultural Victory, Catherine the Great's best options are Greece in Antiquity, Norman in Exploration, and Russia in the Modern Age. View the full article

Marvel Rivalsis currently facing its biggest crisis in the triple support meta, but it can be fixed surprisingly easily.
