Valve has finally released its Steam Store home page refresh, and it's all looking very shiny. There's been a big focus on visual consistency, and the new, larger tiles seem to be a perfect fit for some Steam controller scrolling (Valve, I'm still waiting for my turn, please help a fella out). However, in all of the redecorating, one major algorithmic change could make it harder to find your next indie game binge.

Phil and Mushu are having a heated battle to determine who’s the best coach in the village, and you decide to jump into the action with Hercules’ help in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the tricky trials you face in this competition is cooking the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal. You’re participating in a competition when you get this task, which means it’s mostly on you to figure it out on your own if you want to become the victor. If you’re unsure what to make to progress past this step, here’s how to cook the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsWho is the Ravenous Boar in Disney Dreamlight Valley?What is the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley?Cook the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valleyhttps://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 Who is the Ravenous Boar in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Screenshot by Destructoid The Ravenous Boar is Pumbaa from The Lion King in DDV. There’s no other character in the valley who could be considered a boar, so as far as the vague character descriptions you’ll encounter go, this is one of the easier ones to solve. What is the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley? For the purposes of the Battle of the Coaches quest, the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal is a Lobster Roll in DDV. Pumbaa is usually known for being more of a fan of bug-related dishes, so this may not be what you expected to cook up for him here, but it’s the only meal that works for this key quest step. You must cook up and deliver this meal to Pumbaa if you wish to move on to your next trial in this quest. Cook the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley To cook the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal, a Lobster Roll, you need to combine the following five ingredients at any cooking station around the valley. Lobster – Can be fished out of golden ripple spots within the Glade of Trust biome. Wheat – Can be grown using Wheat Seeds, which can be bought from Goofy’s stall in Peaceful Meadow or Ancient’s Landing. Lemon – Can be picked from Lemon Trees, which initially start off in the Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust, but can be freely moved anywhere around the valley. There are six trees in total. Butter – Can be purchased from the pantry at Tiana’s Palace or Chez Remy. Garlic – Can be found growing in the wild around the Forest of Valor, the Wild Tangle, and Everafter. Screenshot by Destructoid This is a five-star meal that calls for five key ingredients to make it. All of the requirements for cooking this dish are very specific, too, with no room for choosing any item you like within specific categories, as most other recipes have. Precision is key for getting this one right. There are lots of other tricky tasks waiting to be completed around the valley. If you’re unsure what to work on next, consider completing Olaf’s Grand Exhibition Glade of Trust room, finding all Hercules Realm Muse Vase Piece locations, finishing Olaf’s Grand Exhibition Forest of Valor room, and getting all Hercules Realm Medallion Pieces. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post How to cook the Ravenous Boar’s preferred meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.

The Godly Glamor Star Path event is truly making you work for those precious Tokens, with quite an array of tricky duties to tackle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the toughest ones asks you to fish for something that’s puffy. You’re not told what this actually is, where to find it, or when it’s available to catch, so it can be rather daunting to take on this difficult task. You need every last Token you can get if you want to claim those event prizes, though, so here’s how to fish for something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsWhat is something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valley?Fish for something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valleyhttps://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 What is something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Screenshot by Destructoid For the purposes of the Godly Glamor Star Path event, something that’s puffy refers to Fugu in DDV. This is an extremely rare, difficult-to-find fish that only spawns in one biome under very specific conditions. You can find and catch Fugu from the Dazzle Beach biome. This is the only region it spawns in, so when you’re attempting to complete this task, you must do so from this area, as you’ll never find this fish swimming around anywhere else. Fugu only spawns when it’s raining in the valley, so even if you’re in the right area, this fish isn’t always readily available to catch. Instead, you must watch and wait for the right weather to have a shot at finding one. There’s no way to control the weather or know when it’ll rain in DDV, as it’s entirely unpredictable and random. For the best chances of finding a Fugu, log on as often as you can to check what the weather is like. Fish for something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid To finish the fish for something that’s puffy task, you need to find and catch a total of three Fugu. Whenever you do finally manage to get rain in your valley, be sure to act swiftly and fish as much as possible to get all three in one go; otherwise, you’ll have to wait for another bout of rain to finish this quest. If you want to truly guarantee you get the Fugu when rain does finally happen, consider making and using some Miracle Fishing Bait or Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait. With this special concoction applied, you can toss your line into any white ripple spot to instantly turn it gold. It doesn’t work on blue bubble spots, so make sure you’re carefully checking the color and only aiming for white ones. This method only works to help you catch Fugu when it’s already raining out, so you do still have to wait for the right weather, but this does at least help you get golden ripple spots with ease. Successfully checking off this task gets you 15 Tokens to spend in the event, which is a decent prize for the effort you put in. Still, you’ll probably need quite a bit more to get whichever reward you have your eye on, so consider completing some additional tricky Star Path duties next. Some good ones to start with are chatting with the village’s best dealmaker, harvesting something sweet, collecting some sandy seafood, and crafting a fountain. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post How to fish for something that’s puffy in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.

It's been over 20 years since Valve first released the original follow-up to Half-Life 2, the standalone Episode One expansion pack, and this is arguably where the company's curse of thirds first sprung up. All Half-Life fans know that Valve never did release the third and final Episode in the end, which means this incredible story simply hasn't been provided with a proper conclusion.

At some point during the fog of 2021 or 2022, I noticed that my son's preferred brand of fruit snacks had switched from including 0.9 ounces per pouch to 0.8 ounces per pouch. Most shrinkflation is meant to fly under the radar, but in this case, I just happened to notice it. It felt bad! It's tangible evidence that your money is not going as far as it did in the very recent past. A little over a year ago, AMD launched the Radeon RX 9070 for a suggested retail price of $549. This month, it's launching the similarly named Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a suggested retail price of $549. This new card (actually the US launch of a GPU that's been available in China for a year or so) has 85 percent as many GPU cores, 75 percent as much memory, and 66 percent as much memory bandwidth as the regular RX 9070. We'll evaluate the RX 9070 GRE in the context of the current GPU market, where prices have been edging upward due to the same AI-driven RAM shortages and price hikes that have made PC building and buying such a ********** experience for the last few months. But it's hard not to be a little upset about such a clear example of GPU shrinkflation—the same money for a markedly inferior product. Read full article Comments View the full article
