“There you have it,” says the July 24 NYT Mini Crossword, and if you’re screaming at the screen wondering what “it” is, I have it, and you need it. I sometimes wonder if crosswords are too vague and broad in their clues. “And there you have it!” is fairly on the nose, but it has so many possibilities as answers, but only one fits the bill.

The day has finally come, and Hotfix 1.0.4 is out, bringing Vulgus Strategic Outpost changes and improved rewards from Special Operations. Here’s everything you need to know about The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.4 and what to expect from the upcoming August update. Everything included in The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.4The Good, the Bad, and the Outposts Fortress might get a little quieter. Screenshot by Dot Esports In Hotfix 1.0.4, The First Descendant increases the time between monster respawns and adjusts the reward efficiency of the Vulgus Strategic Outposts. This change reduces the rewards from the Vulgus Strategic Outpost in the Fortress. Developer Nexon highlighted, however, that it set the reward efficiency “significantly higher than originally intended,” so the nerf might not be as impactful as we feared. View the full article
It’s been a few months since Project L, the League of Legends fighting game, changed its name to 2XKO, and players are still wondering why that name changed. The announcement happened back in February 2024, when Riot revealed the new name, confirmed a playtest and a release date of 2025, and a handful of new details. The name, 2XKO, is a little different than any other League-based game, so when Dot Esports had a chance to talk to Shaun Rivera, the game director, at Evo on July 21, we had to ask what went into the decision-making.

Lycoris Recoil, one of 2022's most popular anime original series, is getting a miniseries to help tide you over while you wait for season 2. Most of the time, anime that aren't based on manga don't end up being nearly as popular as series that are, but in 2022 Lycoris Recoil beat the odds. It was so good that even Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima couldn't help but sing its praises, and he even got matching shirts to wear with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn (who is also obviously the face model of Heartman in ****** Stranding). If you're reading this, Kojima - or if you're just a fan of the anime - I have some good news! The official ********* Twitter account for Lycoris Recoil announced yesterday that a six-episode miniseries focusing on the daily lives of Chisato, Takina, and others is on the way. Lycoris Recoil director Shingo Adachi will be supervising the six episodes, with each of them featuring different people on directorial and storyboarding duties. Original character designer Imigimuru is also in charge of some of the scripts too. There aren't any more details other than that, though a sneak peak was shown in the tweet, which you can see above.

Of all the Nintendo games getting the remake and remaster treatment throughout the Switch generation, one metallic little charmer has gone mainly ignored. The last time Chibi-Robo starred in a game was back in 2015 with Chibi-Robo Zip Lash on the 3DS, and since then there’s been nothing. Part of this may be down to the apparent dissolution of Skip Ltd, the studio that was responsible for the Chibi-Robo series. With Skip no longer around, it appears Nintendo has been hesitant to hand the robo-buddy’s power adaptor to another studio. Read More... View the full article

But I digress. The “Academic acronym” clue harks back to my formative years, and learning has helped me with this answer. View the full article

Marvel has managed to bring back Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and Kevin Feige thinks it's a "great sign" that it can be done with other characters too. Spoilers ahead for Deadpool & Wolverine (unless you've seen the film's final trailer, which gave away a bit too much). A big thing that both Jackman and his co-star Ryan Reynolds wanted to make clear pretty clear after the announcement of Deadpool & Wolverine, is that Logan, Jackman's previous final performance as the character, would not be touched. They clearly knew that fans would be incredibly upset if Logan was ruined in any way, the upcoming threequel would not be received well at all. The solution to that? Have Deadpool & Wolverine's version of the character be from another universe - no, not Fox's X-Men films, a separate universe from that entirely. Or at least, it looks that way anyway judging from the final trailer. Read more View the full article
