If you’re like me and have been busy exploring Hello Kitty Island Adventure, odds are, you’ve come across an Echo Conch. But finding all of them and who they belong to is a tricky task. There are 10 Echo Conches in total, so, you’ll have 10 subsequent quests to complete. Once you’ve collected an Echo Conch, you can view the clue for who it belongs to in your inventory. To complete each Echo quest, you simply give the Conch to the correct character. The clue will appear like a gift preference, however, with some characters’ favorites overlapping so it can be challenging. View the full article
To the delight of all looking to fast travel early on, Minecraft allows players to boost their minecart speed from the known value of eight blocks per second to a striking and honestly game-breaking 1,000. But contrary to what you might think, doing that won't demand the use of outlandish rail compositions. Instead, it's possible by completing a series of requirements before utilizing a very specific command. Here's how to change the speed of your minecarts in Minecraft, no matter if you are playing alone or on a server with friends. How to change your minecart speed in Minecraft You can change the speed of your minecarts in Minecraft by heading to Edit Game Rules while creating your world and toggling on Allow Commands. Make sure to also head to Experiments and enable Minecart Improvements. After doing the above and creating your world, you will be able to change the maximum speed of your minecarts to any value up to 1,000 blocks per second by doing the following: Open the in-game chat Type /minecartMaxSpeed plus your desired speed or [ ] (ex: /minecartMaxSpeed 1000) If playing in a multiplayer server you did not create, you will only be able to activate the commands after attaining a high enough permission level (in this case Operator). To do that, the server's administrators must click on the icon next to your profile (which showcases your rank) and then enable the use of Operator Commands. At the time of writing, the code can only be used when playing the Java version of the game, which means that those playing on Bedrock will have to either wait a little longer or try to get the most out of their carts in the usual way. How to make minecarts faster on Minecraft Bedrock Image via Mojang Studios Although their speed will still pale in comparison to that of the Ice Boats, you can boost the speed of your minecarts while playing Minecraft Bedrock by using both the environment and the right types of rails. More specifically, I recommend adding Powered Rails at key spots throughout your tracks, all while relying on drops for a natural boost in momentum. Ideally, you want to have a few Powered Rails within every 25 to 30 blocks or after each descent. You can make sets of six Powered Rails in Minecraft by gathering 6x Gold Ingots, 1x Stick, and 1x Redstone Dust before placing them in a 3-2-3 formation on your crafting grid. The Stick must then be placed above the stone, in the middle of the grid. The post How to change minecart speed in Minecraft appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is the next installment in the Rune Factory series from Natsume, but it's hard to tell that from just looking at it. The series started as a Harvest Moon game with elements of a fantasy RPG, even carrying the title "A Fantasy Harvest Moon" for the first two games. Over the next few games, the franchise evolved into a fully fledged standalone series of games that merged the farm management aspect of the farming simulator genre with the monster hunting, crafting, and world-building of an RPG.

Watch out for that falling breezeblock! It's about to-- ah, too late, you've been donked. A clip of loud wreckage, gunfire, and bazooka'd buildings has fallen dustily into our lap via a promotional video for Battlefield 6 (or whatever the developers plan to call the next of these large-scale first-person shooters). Mostly, it's a lot of producers talking a big game about "levelling up" the "core experience", which seems to remain blasting a building you don't like with a rocket-propelled grenade. We can tell from the final 10 seconds of the video, which show some of the game's actual running and/or gunning. Read more View the full article

Missed out on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 on launch day? You and me, both. Unfortunately, it's looking like the wait for new stock to find its way to retailers could be a long one, at least if one *** retailer's thoughts are anything to go by. With the RTX 5090 proving to be Nvidia's fastest gaming GPU yet and rightfully earning its place atop our best graphics card guide, demand for it has been huge. Not only that, but supply has been very slim, leading to the meager level of RTX 5090 stock initially available selling out in mere minutes. However, while an initial rush of enthusiasm and stock selling out might be expected, the potential future level of scarcity is looking like it could be unprecedented. Read the rest of the story...

With their heavy reliance on AI frame generation to get their big frame rate boosts, Nvidia's latest RTX 5000 GPUs have proved divisive among commentators, and renowned tech privacy whistleblower Edward Snowden has waded into the discussion, describing the release of the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 as a "monopolistic crime" on social media. While you do indeed need to enable Multi Frame Gen to get the most out of the new Nvidia GPU, as we found in our recent RTX 5080 review, we liked its $999 price tag (assuming you can find any RTX 5080 stock), especially after Nvidia priced the RTX 4080 at $1,199 when it first came out. The lack of competition is undoubtedly a factor here, though, with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT only expected to challenge the RTX 5070, rather than the 5080. Read the rest of the story...
