It's easy to get bored by a Minecraft world when it becomes uninteresting to explore, but some seeds are diverse enough to encourage nearly endless expeditions into their landscapes. This can come from a wide variety of biomes present, a multitude of rare structures, or plentiful resources available for you to investigate. The best seeds for exploring have many rabbit holes to dig into as you play. View the full article

FF14 patch 7.4 is kicking off a new era in many ways, from the start of a fresh story arc to the lifting of class-based fashion restrictions after more than a decade. Dawntrail's greatest strength (aside from its jamming tunes) has been its combat design, and the recent Pilgrim's Traverse deep dungeon was a great example of that. Now, lead battle designer Masaki 'Mr Ozma' Nakagawa has teased that he's in the process of creating something "truly new" that we'll get to play at some point during the patch 7.5x rollout.

New release Resonance Solstice looks to be off to a patchy start despite having one of the most loaded collections of genre tags we've seen in a free Steam release in quite some time. Launched at the tail end of October, right after three of the best gacha games began their battle for supremacy, user reviews would suggest it's not entirely the fault of poor release planning, but issues like "too many different types of currency." We've played enough gacha games to know the pain of juggling too many tokens, but there's perhaps more to this train game struggling to leave the platform than simple coins cluttering a window.

Grand Theft Auto is almost synonymous with Dan Houser, yet the Rockstar Games co-founder says he'd be more sad to see Red Dead Redemption 3 happen without him. Alongside his brother Sam, Houser was long considered the driving creative force behind the studio's biggest hits, yet he chose to step away from the company in 2020 after the launch of RDR 2. Talking to podcaster Lex Fridman, Houser reflects on watching GTA 6 come to fruition from a distance, the protagonist he originally wanted to kill, and why his best crime games are so deeply rooted in Americana.

The Straight Record quest in ARC Raiders makes you roam around Dam Battlegrounds in search of three different switches. While the format of the Straight Record quest is simple, the exact locations can be slightly confusing. This guide will help you find them all quite easily and complete the quest to earn the rewards. Table of contentsARC Raiders Straight Record quest walkthroughOld EMP Device locationPower Switch locationsARC Raiders Straight Record quest walkthrough The Straight Record quest can be broken down into two major parts. Locate the old EMP DeviceDisable three Power SwitchesOld EMP Device location The EMP device is located in the northern part of the Dam Battlegrounds map. The device is located near the Hydroponic Dome complex. Once you find the device, interact with it, and the quest will automatically update. Your next task is to disable the power switches spread all over the map. The region near the Dome can have plenty of ARC enemies, so be on your toes. I will recommend going in with a free loadout to reduce the risk. This location also has vital resources like Mushrooms, which are required for upgrading Scrappy. Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Power Switch locations The first switch is located on a hill to the left of the EMP device. I have marked the location of all three switches on the screenshot above (marked as 1, 2, and 3) to help you find them easily. Get close to the switch to interact with it. To find the second switch, go back to the EMP device and go left. You'll find a generator. Get on top of it, and jump to get on the second floor of a broken building. Move forward, jump again, and you'll find the second switch. Drop down, and keep moving forward. You'll come across a pole and a wire. Follow the wire, and it will lead you to the third switch. Turn it off, and return to the EMP device to finish the Straight Record quest. The location has drone ARCs that you should first destroy; otherwise, you could end up dead while trying to complete the quest.

Board Games are a great group activity that can really bring friends together. Sometimes, though, you just want to pour yourself a nice warm mug of cocoa, snuggle up in bed, and enjoy a nice single-player experience.

While Dungeons and Dragons often busies itself with its namesakes, there's a third D that warrants fear from the tabletop. Diseases are one of the most insidious ways to die among adventurers, be it from the stench of undeath or a deadly poison from creatures yet uncharted. And if there's one setting that blends disease with distinctly gothic vibes, it's Victorian England. Gothica: Plagueworlds takes that time ******* and amps it up in a twisted fashion.
