Image: The New York Times Strands, The New York Times’ very good word search game, has been officially added to the NYT’s Games app on iOS and Android. For me personally, this is huge. Strands has become my favorite of the NYT’s games since it launched in beta in March, but I was annoyed that I had to bounce between the app and a browser to complete my daily Wordle, Connections, and Strands. Now, I can do all of the puzzles right in the app over my morning coffee. It’s the little things! Each Strands puzzle has a theme. That theme hints at the words you’ll need to find — including the “spanagram” word that spans across opposite sides of the puzzle. Every letter in the puzzle is used for a themed word or the spanagram. If you need some help, you can get hints by... Continue reading… View the full article
As one of the cutest sub-species in Palworld, Chillet Ignis has caught the eyes and hearts of explorers around the world. If you aren’t trying to search Sakurajima Island for these cutie patooties, you can also breed them without having to leave the comfort of your base. Chillet Ignis might not be the most useful Pal to keep at your base for work purposes, but it can be used as a mid-game mount that moves pretty quickly. Crackling Weasel is its Partner Skill, and it applies ***** damage on your attacks while riding, giving you more damage to Grass and Ice-type Pals. View the full article

I've always been enamored by Elden Ring's NPCs. There's just something magical about the way the game approaches its characters: from Melina's quiet rage, to Ranni's smirking mystique, to Alexander's triumphant courage, each of them portrays an admirable trait that begs countless questions, and always leaves me looking forward to the next encounter. Shadow of the Erdtree is no exception, and I was immediately endeared to Leda 's devotion, Thiollier 's pathos, and Moore's obsession. NPCs are a major part of the FromSoft Soulsborne formula. Their personable, and often funny, demeanors bring a lot of humanity to the despairing worlds they inhabit. View the full article

These are called Redacted Weapons and we’ll show you where to find them in Warzone.Warzone: Where to find Redacted WeaponsYou might be a little confused as to where to find these weapons since Activision does a great job at not detailing these things.

This indicates you’re near one. However, since you can see these icons — others can see them as well. So be prepared to ****** as soon as you land in these areas. Image: ActivisionWhen you jump into the Urzikstan navigate towards the many Loot Hot Zones on the map. But be warned, these zones have high-tier loot. And you know what that means? More enemies will appear in these spots making it tougher to grab the Red...View the full article

I don't want to sound hasty, but I'm starting to suspect that people are pretty into this Shadow of the Erdtree business. It's just a hunch I have, based largely on a tweet from the official Elden Ring Twitter account thanking Tarnished around the globe, who in less than a week since the DLC's release have purchased more than 5 million copies.
