While Lost Ark is a fairly linear game when it comes to its story, you’ll encounter some major choices that could change the way your tale unfolds. Approximately halfway through the game’s main quest, during a quest titled “Glorious Wall,” you’ll be given the option to either swear fealty or resist Scherrit, a major player in the game’s early story. And while this may feel like a serious choice, its implications aren’t as far-reaching as the story may suggest.

The internet is full of popular memes that have been created from iconic moments in television, movies, and live shows—and video games are no exception. The Call of Duty franchise has generated plenty of memes in its long history. “Remember, No Russian” from Modern Warfare has been changed and shifted to create a host of popular memes, including “Remember, no pre-orders.” But that can’t hold a candle to the outlandishly popular “Press F to Pay Respects” meme from Advanced Warfare.

For any Shiny hunter, catching a Shiny Pokémon in a mainline Pokémon game like Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl can be both exciting and heartbreaking at the same time. Some games, such as Sword and Shield, completely lock away the chance of getting certain Shiny Legendary Pokémon like Zacian and Zamazenta, locking the color variants of these Pokémon behind future events instead. Sometimes, however, Game Freak throws these hunters a bone.

You’ve made it: you reached level 80 on Final Fantasy XIV, and you think the biggest grinds of the game are behind you. But instead, the Resistance Weapon quests are waiting for you, and they are among the longest parts of the game to complete. The quests named Spare Parts, Tell Me a Story, and A Fond Memory, are the longest parts of the Relic weapons to complete. It’s a one-time grind, however, so players will only have to do it once to unlock the step for every class.

Menace in Magic: The Gathering is an evasion ability that was introduced as a keyword in 2015 with the Magic Origins set. The mechanic was added as a way to replace the Intimidate ability, which was overpowered in some circumstances but useless in others, making it difficult to balance. Creatures with Menace “can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures,” according to MTG’s comprehensive rules. The ruling around this ability comes during the declaration of blockers.

The Palindrome is one of Destiny 2‘s most beloved hand cannons, and for good reason. This Void 140rpm is one of the most popular archetypes in one of the most popular weapons, and with Void 3.0, players have even more reason to use it. With the release of The Witch Queen, however, Bungie reworked some of The Palindrome’s perks to accommodate the new Vanguard Origin Traits, but developers also changed up its perk pool.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus provides a nice mix of new and returning features that will make the game feel fresh, yet still somewhat familiar for returning players. One such returning feature is Mystery Gift, which allows players to receive content drops using specific codes or connecting to events over Nintendo Switch Online. Mystery Gifts are typically limited-time giveaways or promotions that give players access to special items, encounters with Pokémon, and more.

Elden Ring features many ways to customize your character’s skills and strengths, whether that be through the armor you wear or the attributes you put levels into. An overlooked avenue of customization is the Talismans your character uses, which are accessories you can equip that provide small buffs and stat bonuses depending on the Talisman you choose. Some Talismans are easier to acquire than others, such as the Graven-School Talisman, which can be picked up without any serious combat if you know where to look.

If you’re about to sign off for the night after a long day of streaming or have been idle for a while and have a large audience on Twitch, consider assisting another streamer to boost their numbers when you’re not online. To do this, you can use a feature on Twitch known as hosting, which will feature the streamer on your channel and allow your chat to interact with each other while watching.

World of Warcraft has many different types of damage and abbreviations, but perhaps one of the most commonly used is DoT. DoT stands for “damage over time.” This is used to describe an ability that puts a debuff on a target, continuously dealing damage to it for a set period of time as opposed to dealing all of its damage instantly. Types of Damage over Time Frequently spoken as “dots,” damage-over-time effects can be physical or magic.
