Memory prices seemingly can't catch a break, as another increase looks set to arrive off the back of an inconsistent previous quarter. The latest reports from TrendForce suggest that prices for PC RAM prices could increase by another 3-8% over the next three months. The price increase also impacts graphics memory, and while this doesn't mean the best graphics cards will suddenly jump up in price, it may have an impact on the retail price of the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090.

When you reach the end of the Dawntrail expansion, there are several more dungeons for you to unlock beyond the ones you receive for playing the story.

Thankfully for gamers, there are some good methods to track them down, and it won’t take too long to add these level 100 dungeons to your growing collection in FFXIV, especially if you’re hunting for Tomestones of Aesthetics.

While having friends in your list makes this easier, asking them for their codes can be annoying and slow. Luckily, there’s a way to get a friend’s QR code without bothering them.

Living Memory is the final area you unlock as you work through the Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Main Scenario Quests. The location is massive and contains several Aether Currents you need to track down if you want to unlock flying with your mount.

Thankfully for gamers, you have a trusty Aether Compass you can use to track them down, but you might want to know their exact locations before you look for them. They can be time-consuming to find, especially if you haven’t attuned to every Aetheryte Crystal here yet while playing FFXIV. View the full article
Glitches make the best videogame moments. Everyone looks back fondly on the open-world bugs in the early GTA games and the Hunter grabbing you through a wall in Left 4 *****, but most games don't truly embrace the jank. Videogames not working as they should is too often seen as a negative but as The Long Drive continues to prove - as it soars on Steam - jank can make a good game great. Read the rest of the story...

HoYoverse is no stranger to constructing cities that leave a lasting impression. From the quasi-Bavarian streets of Genshin Impact's Mondstadt to Honkai Star Rail's Huizhou-inspired Xianzhou Luofu, each has its own culture and real-world influence. That said, these hub areas follow the blueprint of most open-world games. They might serve as the setting for questlines to unfold, but for the most part, they are static sandboxes, with topographies and vendors that remain reliably unchanged. You might drop by periodically for the sake of a quest or an upgrade, but you aren't meant to stay and live there. The adventure is outside their borders, in the great outdoors and the galaxies beyond. In Zenless Zone Zero, however, the city is the player's universe. Read the rest of the story...

Elden Ring challenge streamer DrDeComposing has forced Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss to sit down and face the music by defeating the monstrous ****** while using the doots from an electric saxophone to control his Tarnished warrior. Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware certainly didn’t pull any punches when setting the difficulty of Elden Ring’s first and only piece of DLC. The time following Shadow of the Erdtree’s June 21 launch has seen countless players struggle with the extreme challenge posed by the new content. Their plight has triggerest the creation of a slew of mods designed to make the DLC easier, along with the release of an official update that rebalanced the DLC's difficulty scaling system. Warning: mild spoilers for Shadow of the Erdtree follow. The final boss of the DLC — Promised Consort Radahn — represents a particularly brutal challenge, which is arguably up there with the toughest any FromSoftware game has to offer. Radahn ranked top in IGN’s list of the toughest Shadow of the Erdtree bosses, with even legendary Elden Ring co-op hero ‘Let Me Solo Her’ — now 'Let Me Solo Him' — admitting that his hands were shaking upon finally putting the monstrous boss down. And yet a Twitch streamer going by the name DrDeComposing has managed to dispatch the Super Saiyan-esque version of Radahn using a modified electric saxophone as a controller, after only a dozen attempts. Everyone was telling me how utterly impossible the Final Boss of Shadow of the Erdtree was going to be. Outrageous moveset, impossible dodges, etc ... It only took me a dozen attempts on the saxophone. THE WORLD'S FIRST (afaik) ALT CONTROLLER DLC RUN HAS BEEN DOOTED! [Hidden Content] — Dr. Doot (@DrDeComposing) July 1, 2024 “Everyone was telling me how utterly impossible the final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree was going to be,” said DrDeComposing in a victory post on X/Twitter. “Outrageous moveset, impossible dodges, etc. It only took me a dozen attempts on the saxophone. THE WORLD'S FIRST (afaik) ALT CONTROLLER DLC RUN HAS BEEN DOOTED.” DrDeComposing’s ******* of choice is a Roland Aerophone AE-10 electric saxophone, each tone from which triggers a button press mapped to a virtual controller. The only doot-free input used during the climactic battle came by way of a nubbin-like analog stick located on the back of this very unconventional controller. The streamer was able to use this real-world legendary armament — and his Tarnished’s Carian Thrusting Shield — to weather Radahn’s relentless attacks until he was able to find an opening to unleash the final doot of ********* that ended Miquella’s consort. DrDeComposing had previously performed a ‘hitless doot run’ of Elden Ring’s base game, in which he took down all seven great rune wielding bosses, including the infamous Malenia, Blade of Miquella, without taking a single hit. For more Elden Ring content why not read up on how one player is defeating Shadow of the Erdtree bosses using electrical signals from her brain to manipulate a virtual controller, or find out about the player who beat the entirety of the DLC without levelling up once.

Scientists, the original nerd, occasionally like to remind us of that fact by influencing the real world with a geeky reference, this time with a spider name after a flying beastie from Monster Hunter. As reported by VG247, a newly discovered spider from China has been named the Otacilia Khezu after Khezu, the flying wyvern from Monster Hunter. What do spiders and flying wyverns have in common? Nothing, really, but this spider has no eyes, just like its namesake. Khezu, which look like fairly normal wyverns from the shoulders down but quickly break that tradition with incredibly long necks, a giant fanged mouth, and retracted eyes due to spending most of their time in darkness, were introduced way back in the original Monster Hunter from 2004. Pointed out by @SilencedVouivre on X/Twitter, the same scientist who named the Otacilia Khezu has also named myriad other real world animals with nerdy references. These include Funny Valentine and Gryo Zeppeli from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and even another Monster Hunter reference with the Rathalos genus. this the same mf who came up with Funny valentine, Gyro zeppeli and the Rathalos genus... [Hidden Content] — Corvus_大夕儿爆彈 (@SilencedVouivre) June 28, 2024 There are plenty of other scientists doing the same too, however. The Saurona butterfly was named after the Lord of the Rings' villain, the Venomius Tomhardyi was somewhat bizarrely named after Tom Hardy's Venom films, and the Tachymenoides Harrisonfordi snake was named after the Indiana Jones actor.
