I try not to be a Funko Pop hater guy. It's always struck me as one of those "edgy" opinions that's actually quite pedestrian—"Oh please, tell me more about which nontraditional picks you actually consider to be Christmas Movies." Most of the time, I endeavor to have no opinion either way on the ubiquitous vinyl tchotchkes. But now it's personal: they brought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords into it...

Enlarge / I can see the code that controls the Tetri-verse! (credit: Aurich Lawson) [/url] Earlier this year, we shared the story of how a classic NES Tetris player hit the game's "***** screen" for the first time, activating a ****** after an incredible 40-minute, 1,511-line performance. Now, some players are using that ***** screen—and some complicated memory manipulation it enables—to code new behaviors into versions of Tetris running on unmodified hardware and cartridges. We've covered similar "arbitrary code **********" glitches in games like Super Mario World, Paper Mario, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in the past. And the basic method for introducing outside code into NES Tetris has been publicly theorized since at least 2021 when players were investigating the game's decompiled code (HydrantDude, who has gone deep on Tetris crashes in the past, also says the community has long had a privately known method for how to take full control of Tetris' RAM). [Hidden Content] Displaced Gamers explains how to reprogram NES Tetris within the game. But a recent video from Displaced Gamers takes the idea from private theory to public **********, going into painstaking detail on how to get NES Tetris to start reading the game's high score tables as machine code instructions.

With the PSN account linking fiasco now in the rearview mirror, what was nearly a disaster moment for Helldivers 2 is now becoming a part of community lore. Fans have been busy working on cape designs since Sony reversed course, at least some of which have seemingly caught the eye of the development team. The movement began after Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt noted an "accidental cape design" from a member on Discord — four red lines denoting Helldivers 2's plummeting reviews over the weekend. Also, the accidental cape design is pretty cool. From a community member. [Hidden Content] — Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) May 6, 2024 Another community member soon responded to Pilestedt's post with a more refined design, leading to other fans coming forward with ideas of their own. Or this... [Hidden Content] — 13 Ghosts of RAGS (@RAGS_Comix) May 6, 2024 Since then, designs have rapidly proliferated. Over on Reddit, one Helldivers 2 fan made a full-blown concept they refer to as "The Prodigal Son." The cape contains a visual reference to Helldivers 2's Steam reviews and a description that reads, "The cape's cropped length symbolizes the brevity of galactic conflicts, thanks to the efficiency of the Helldivers." The community effort follows a three-day saga that began with the notice that Helldivers 2 would require Steam players to link a PSN account beginning May 7. The subsequent uproar included Helldivers 2 getting hammered by hundreds of thousands of negative reviews while being delisted in 177 countries. PlayStation finally backed down on Sunday night, saying that it is "still learning what is best for PC players." Now that the weekend-long fiasco is behind it, Arrowhead Studios is considerably more upbeat, with Pilestedt posting a photo of flowers sent by a community member. Earlier today, Pilestedt said that he was "impressed by the willpower of the Helldivers 2 community" while thanking PlayStation for acting quickly to roll back the unpopular policy. One way or another, it seems like business as usual again as fans celebrate one of the biggest games of 2024. And even if the great PSN account linking debacle winds up being a footnote in Helldivers 2's history, it looks like the community will have a way to remember it.

Keepsakes can make or break a run in Hades 2, so it is important to know which are the best and which are the worst ranked. Investing time into them only improves them, so here are the ones I think you should go in on.

Have you noticed some resources like Silver have a bunch of moving parts to acquire in Hades 2? On the other, hand there are other things you can farm by just attempting runs in the game. One of those is Bones; this guide will explain how to farm them in Hades 2.Hades 2: How to farm BonesEarning Bones is quite simple and can be done in a couple of ways. The first, and probably the most known way is that you can earn them as chamber rewards. Clear the stage, and you may get Bones as a reward. While not as consistent, you can still run into Bones by this method at a high rate. To add more of a boost to getting more Bones, try investing in the Gathering of Ancient Bones incantation. This will highlight a certain ******* you can use on that run. When you do pick it, watch how much Bones you earn when you complete the room. Also, not consistent, but that doesn’t matter. Mainly because the amount you get will be high enough to cover any you’ve missed....View the full article

Last week was brutal for the Helldivers 2 development team—and Sony in general.

The decision reportedly has to do with Donaldson’s ******* to increase control over his business and its creative process.

Not every buff is crucial these early-game incantations can make Hades 2 rather easy. However, knowing what they can be used on is also important. This is where Fate Fabric comes into play. It’s a necessary resource, and learning how to get Fate Fabric in Hades 2 can make the game manageable.Hades 2: How to get Fate FabricFate Fabric is important, however, you won’t get it the same way as you would for the many other resources in Hades 2.
