Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are a rare but essential item for players in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. That's because this crafting material can reinforce special armaments to +10. This is essential for making special weapons as powerful as possible, giving you a better chance against the overpowered bosses in Shadow Of The Erdtree. However, as you would suspect with an item of this caliber in Elden Ring, acquiring it is no walk in the park. View the full article

A lot of people are playing Elden Ring right now, mostly for the expansion Shadow of the Erdtree. I'm in the less punctual camp of Tarnished venturing into the Lands Between for the first time, hoping to catch up to the zeitgeist after I hack and slash my way through the base game. I finished Sekiro recently, and if anything could make me feel prepared for facing Malenia at the end of the line, it's the fact that I've already got Sekiro's final challenger Isshin Ashina out of the way.

Cyberpunk 2077s open world of Night City is a technological and creative marvel that lacked substance on release, particularly when it came to its short and repetitive gigs.

Perhaps the DLCs most surprising improvement, however, was in beefing up the narratives and environments of its gigs. View the full article

A recent Disney Dreamlight Valley lore drop from the latest update on Wednesday has left some fans uncomfortable and reflecting on their actions. It seems your favorite heroes like Mulan and Jack Skellington are stuck in the Valley and can't return home. Mallengar on Reddit posted a screenshot of a conversation with Mulan, one of the newest characters added to the Animal Crossing-like. Your main character out of nowhere drops a lore *****. They explain to Mulan: "You can't go back to your Realm without losing your memories again." Image via Mallengar and Gameloft If Mulan or Mushu ever want to return to China, they'll forget everything about their journey. Some Redditers are shocked by this revelation. Mallengar compares it to a "gilded cage," saying, "I can sort of understand why they can't go back mechanically because of reasons; but for it to be this in the in-game lore is kind of horrifying if you think about it." Another user atruepear compared the concept of Disney Dreamlight Valley to Coraline, a book/film in which a child gets stuck in an alternate dimension and has trouble leaving her horrific new home. In past sections of the story, it was revealed that the valley is a machination of your dream, and those who forgot this world are returning, remembering past adventures with your protagonist. The story's deeper than you might think for a game like this. These Disney characters aren't from the films, they're part of your imagination. Hopefully, that helps with comprehending that these heroes and villains are stuck inside your dimension with nowhere else to go. It's still an odd thought, however.

As the inevitable release of Project Zomboid's Build 42 looms somewhere overhead, the community has grown frustrated with the developer The Indie Stone's apparently slow production pipeline. It's easy to forget just how long Project Zomboid has been lumbering along, but is the snail's pace warranted? Obviously, nothing could possibly justify some of the worst and most useless "critique" that's recently been directed in The Indie Stone's general direction. Things have gotten so dire at some points, in fact, that one of the lead developers even considered selling Project Zomboid off to the highest bidder, just to rid themselves of the burden of its development. That's an immense amount of stress to be under, and it's hardly surprising to see the talk surrounding Zomboid's huge new build to get heated from both sides of the equation. I don't really have a horse in this race, for what it's worth: I just want The Indie Stone to be able to keep on keeping on in much the same way they've been doing all these years. Waiting for new versions can get frustrating, certainly, but it's a simple fact of the matter that major new build releases for Zomboid basically turn the whole experience inside out and reinvigorate it for years to come. Here's what we know for a fact is included in Build 42, just to illustrate my point: Animals and animal husbandry Herd movement of wild animals Massive rendering and performance improvements, including a new lighting system Post-apocalyptic blacksmithing, stoneworking, brewing features with new crafting stations Dozens of new items (clothing, weapons, containers, etc.) Farming systems and an assortment of crops to care for Fishing overhaul Comprehensive overworld improvements, both functional and otherwise Procedurally generated wilderness Discord integration Fluid system ******* parts Cleaning system Newspapers, flyers, and other UI elements All that, as per Project Zomboid's Wiki. This, keep in mind, is wholly uncomprehensive, and even if you only keep track of Destructoid's news coverage for Zomboid, you'll get the right idea of just how substantial B42 really is. Inevitably, it will change everything for everyone playing the game, and it will be a superior zombie survival experience when all is said and done. The question, then, is whether it's worth the years-long wait. Image via The Indie Stone The long production pipeline of Project Zomboid It was back in 2012 that I was just unpacking a new gaming magazine - its demo disc, in particular - only to discover one of Project Zomboid's earliest builds on it. I'll be honest: it didn't look good. Heck, it didn't play good, either, for many of the same reasons some may feel Zomboid is still not a great game. Slow, janky, and highly unpolished, Project Zomboid has always had a massive early adoption hurdle that filters most players right off the bat. Here's the thing, though: I was hooked when I realized just how deep the game's simulation goes. And that was well before any of the truly substantial content additions and updates drop in, keep in mind. Just the core and the crux of it: Zomboid at its most raw. In 2024, Project Zomboid can become almost any kind of zombie survival game you want it to be. A Romero-style plod? A Resident Evil-type dread? A 28 Days Later *******? Oh, just tweak a thing or two and you're golden no matter what your zombie fantasy might be. Project Zomboid's gameplay systems are every bit as intricate as they are janky, and this leads to a hugely rewarding gameplay loop of... well, of pure survival. Even if you take zombies out of the equation, there's still a whole game's worth of content in Zomboid to parse through. Why is this relevant? Because I feel that it illustrates the importance of the zig-zagging nature of The Indie Stone's Project Zomboid production pipeline. There are several games' worth of gameplay systems and loops present in Zomboid. Build 42 - whenever it ends up coming out - will build on top of this further still. If the developers working on this game hadn't started on multiple different barely related features over a year ago, Zomboid would've been a far poorer survival game. As it currently stands, instead, we've got what is easily the most comprehensive zombie survival game, bar none. It's got its limitations, to be sure, and it's certainly an acquired taste in more ways than not, but there's something special here. I can't help but feel that, had The Indie Stone been more focused, Zomboid simply wouldn't be where it is today. Image via The Indie Stone How long is too long? On the flip side of the equation, Project Zomboid is certainly taking its sweet time crossing the finish line. Not even the finish line, at that: just one of the many checkpoints it needs to go through before the finish line is even on the horizon. We're that far off, as the project is in its 14th year of active development. The Indie Stone's current development setup necessitates years' worth of work before each major new Build comes out, and it's a given that some players simply aren't happy with that. It's okay to be unhappy, of course, but The Indie Stone is a small team working on an impossibly huge project at their own schedule. As someone who's been playing Zomboid on-and-off for almost half of my life, I can vouch for the team's "slow and steady wins the race" strategy, simply because the quality of the product is there. In the end, The Indie Stone could've turned Build 41 into the 1.0 release of Project Zomboid had they wanted to. The fact that they didn't, I think, illustrates a sense of straightforwardness. Outwardly, The Indie Stone states plainly that Project Zomboid isn't ostensibly finished. The team is adding more (and more, and more, and more) features into the mix that hadn't even been on the docket, say, during the Build 40 production process, and this is bound to continue. And you can tell that this is the case purely because Zomboid is unlikely to leave Early Access anytime soon. Honestly, I don't think we'll see a full 1.0 release of Project Zomboid before 2030, if ever. It just seems so unlikely, considering the size and scope of the project. When each major new Build keeps adding a whole game's worth of gameplay on top of what's already there, though, does it even matter all that much? Zomboid trudges on, in much the same way as its tragic, lumbering monstrosities do. It's been here back when I was a ****, and I'd be willing to bet it'll still be trucking along when I hit my 40s. What's one more decade of active development, after all, whether you're Dwarf Fortress or Project Zomboid?

When I first got into manga, it felt almost ****** or like a style of books I shouldn't be into because most of my friends only dipped their toes into graphic novels. But that's definitely not the case, and there are some great picks out there for true beginners. As I was growing up, I was almost ashamed to read graphic novels in public because I thought people would look down on me for the images and contents. I didn't think The Walking ***** could stand up to Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, but it absolutely can, and manga does so even better. But it's difficult to know where to start with manga, which is why I've put together this list of the best books you can pick up as a beginner that'll help you ease yourself into the genre before you take off the training wheels and start exploring on your own. Manga that will give you an intro to the medium Below are the best manga you can read as a beginner. They're not too overwhelming in their content and don't require much prior knowledge of the stories told on their pages. In fact, most of the franchises you'll recognize below started life as manga. 14. Fruits Basket Image via Amazon Fruits Basket is a great manga series for beginners that's a bit of a classic having been originally published in 1998. Protagonist Tohru Honda moves out of her family home after tragedy strikes, but she doesn't have anywhere to go. So she pitches up a tent and settles in for what she thinks will be a quieter life for the time being. However, she's soon discovered by the lands owners, the Sohma clan, and it becomes apparent that they're not all that they seem. You see, when touched by someone of the opposite ****, they transform into animals from the ******** Zodiac. It's an odd but ultimately compelling introduction to shojo stories. 13. Blue Box Image via Amazon Blue Box is a manga for those who want something a bit more modern. You follow Taiki Inomata, a student who adores badminton and wants desperately to become good enough to play on a national level. He falls for Chinatsu Kano, an upperclassman when he sees her practicing with every ounce of effort she has for the ******' basketball team. Events transpire that see the pair come closer together, and somehow sports isn't the only thing they can think about anymore. Stories like this that feel grounded and realistic always make my heart sing when I'm reading them, and I think that makes it a perfect manga to kick your journey off with. 12. Monster Image via Amazon Monster is a gritty ****** manga with a twisting ******* mystery at its heart. After opting to save a young man's life over the major's Dr. Kenzo Tenma loses his social standing in the hospital where he works. Years later, Tenma saves another man who mutters about a monster, but the man escapes the hospital. Tenma pursues him and sees his patient shot to ******. Tenma is immediately suspected by the police, and uncovers the horrific past of the young man he saved while seeking to prove his innocence. Note: this does deal with some serious subject matter, so please research the content warnings for it if you're at all worried about it. 11. Dungeon Meshi / Delicious in Dungeon Image via Amazon Dungeon Meshi, which you might also know as Delicious in Dungeon, this manga follows a party of adventurers after a colossal red dragon attacks them, consuming the most powerful mage among them, who happens to be warrior Laios' sister. The party were, mercifully, saved by their mage companion right before she was eaten, but vows to return to face the red dragon and ***** it before she is digested. However, they're low on funds and can't afford all the rations needed to traverse the dungeon, so they're going to cook whatever monsters they find while delving back through it. This series is part-dungeon adventure and part-cooking show. It's an unexpectedly great combination because you feel like you're learning while you see this party ***** and then cook up fantastical creatures that get featured in games, TV shows, movies, and books. 10. Look Back Image via Amazon Look Back is a one-shot manga about an elementary school student who, after having her manga published in the school paper and praised for her work, finds herself competing with another student in the school who begins publishing her own manga. Over the years, the two grow close, working on several on-shots together, but life choices see them drift apart. It's an emotional story that will definitely tug on your heartstrings and makes for a fantastic entry point into the genre. 9. One Piece Image via Amazon One Piece is another gateway manga I used to get into this genre. It's a franchise many manga fans discuss because it's got not only an incredible long-running anime series but also a Netflix show. There are dozens of volumes of this series for you to read. As with all manga, starting at the beginning to see if you like it is the best place. The One Piece manga follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the ultimate treasure, known as One Piece, and become the ultimate pirate by claiming it. Luffy is pretty special, having been rubberized after eating a ****** Fruit. The series is packed with exciting pirate battles and has some of the most memorable characters you could hope to read. It's the pirate angle that gets me, though, and I think everyone finds a series easier to digest if it's built on such a familiar concept. 8. ******* on Titan Image via Amazon Another manga better known for its anime counterpart, ******* on Titan is a brutal series that blends sci-fi and fantasy within a steampunk world that I find very intriguing. Every page makes you want to ***** into the next because you never know what's coming. The books follow Eren Yeager, a young soldier who vows to ***** the colossal Titans that plague humanity and force them to live behind giant walls for protection. The characters in this series are great, and the overarching story of where the Titans originate from is fascinating. It kept me reading and working through Yeager's journey without it ever feeling like a chore. Very easy reads and a universe you'll be glad you checked out. 7. ****** Note Image via Amazon When you're scanning through the ****** Note covers in your local bookstore, it looks pretty daunting. However, the story itself isn't difficult to understand or get into, but it is a thrilling read and an extremely unique idea. It's a great series demonstrating some of the brilliant tales being told in manga that you'd miss out on if you discounted the genre. In ****** Note, you'll follow protagonist Light Yagami. This high school student discovers a notebook called ****** Note and quickly realizes that it grants the owner the power to ***** anyone whose name is written on its pages. This is because it was once owned by the Shinigami Ryuk, a spirit that beckons humans towards ******. That kind of power coming from a book is one thing, but the way the series expands to cover even larger ones, such as wiping out all ****** in a region used in said book, is what sets it apart from stories that might not make the most of the power they explore. 6. Sand Land Image via Amazon Sand Land is an easy series to get into from Akira Toriyama, one of the best-known creators in the genre. It's set in a far future on Earth when war has decimated the planet, and a greedy king controls and distributes water. The series follows Sheriff Rao, a Thief, and the king of demons, Beelzebub, who happens to be the king's son, in search of a long-lost lake and liquid freedom. In this travel adventure, the trio knocks heads with some epic foes, including dragons and bandits. But the deadliest foe they'll face is the king's army itself, forcing them into fights where the odds seem pretty stacked against them. 5. REAL Image via Amazon The story of REAL revolves around wheelchair basketball and follows three teenagers in various stages of life around high school. The most intriguing arc is for Takahashi Hisanobu, who was the school's basketball team hotshot until an accident left him wheelchair-bound as a paraplegic. While it might sound like REAL tackles with some heavy subjects, it's actually very relatable. The manga's three characters are all marginalized by society and sometimes each other, but they share a common goal and simply want to be accepted for who they are and what they love doing. I like it because I find any media difficult to digest if there's no way I can relate to it, but we've all felt marginalized in some way before, and that's why I think it's easy to connect with REAL as a beginner manga enthusiast. 4. My Hero Academia Image via Amazon My Hero Academia is another manga series that always comes up in conversations about the subject, but it can be hard to gauge if it's right for you as a beginner. However, I can tell you right now that this is absolutely a great place to start because it puts you in the shoes of a true starter from the very first page. This series follows a young boy called Izuku Midoriya. He was born without superpowers, known as Quirks, but dreams of becoming a superhero. the world's greatest hero sees potential in him and enrolls him in a school for those with Quirks after bestowing his own on the boy. You follow someone learning about their powers in a world where superpowers are the bog standard basic, and your confusion and ignorance are accepted because the protagonist you enter the world as is just the same. 3. Uzumaki Image via Amazon Uzumaki is perhaps Junju Ito's best known work and the perfect place to get into his incredibly brand of horror in manga. The story is centered around Kurouzu-cho, a small town constantly shrouded by fog on Japan's coastline. It's not haunted by ghosts of the past, though, it's haunted by Uzumaki, a sharp, the mysterious spiral, and a secret kept by our world. It's incredibly dark and has some memorable scenes that are going to stick with you long after you're done reading. 2. One-Punch Man Image via Amazon One Punch Man is a character who has transcended manga, making it into all sorts of other media, including a workout from The Bioneer. It tells the story of Saitama, a man who has become a hero because he's trained himself to defeat any opponent and do a lot of other things with a single punch. That's not an exaggeration, and it's just as cool as it sounds. The manga tells a bonkers tale of this character, someone who basically fights villains and monsters in his spare time if he feels like it, and how he ends up saving the world with his sheer strength. As you read, you'll also appreciate who Saitama is and why people might want to train themselves to reach a personal goal of enjoyment over recognition from others. 1. Polar Bear Café Image via Amazon Polar Bear Cafe is a really different manga, but one I think you should try if you're looking for a complete beginner's list. It's a beautifully simple concept of animals mingling with humans in a café run by a polar bear, the best animal in the world. If you're getting into manga, you should read Polar Bear Café because it's a great example of the playful side of the genre. Not all manga is ******, fighting, and martial arts. some of it's just telling stories through a new lens. With this list of manga to go out and read through, you should have the basics every beginner needs. Once you've worked your way through them, even if you put some of them down after Volume 1, you should have the confidence to head out to your local bookstore, browse through the shelves, and decide which one you're going to jump into next.
