On August 18th, Jean Pormanove, whose real name was Raphaël Graven, passed away in his sleep while livestreaming on Kick. He was 46 years old.

Now that there are many handheld gaming PCs available, competition is getting fierce. The new ROG Ally and ROG Ally X are particularly strong contenders, and they’re already making a significant impact on the market.

So, I stumbled across this internal Discord document – basically a “do not engage” list. It named a bunch of people and groups, like Dr Disrespect, Quackity, KEEMSTAR, TeamSpeak, Streamlabs, the USA Army Esports team, and this journalist named Slasher. Apparently, if anyone tagged any of *them* in a support ticket, Discord staff were told to just close the ticket immediately – no helping, no response, nothing. It’s pretty wild to see who they were avoiding!

We’ve updated how much experience points (XP) you need to level up. The official Pokémon website now shows the exact XP requirements for specific levels.

I enjoyed Little Nightmares 3, as I mentioned in my review. It’s a visually stunning game, consistent with the series, and the addition of co-op play is a refreshing new feature. However, I was even more impressed by the recent demo for Reanimal, which is available to try now during Steam Next Fest.

Hey everyone, just heard some news from 2K. Apparently, they’ve brought in Ben Brinkman to run 31st Union, the studio behind some of the stuff I play. It’s a bit of a change-up since Michael Condrey, who used to be a big shot at Call of Duty, left the studio earlier this year. Hopefully, this is a good thing for the games they’re making!

He noted the classic Battlefield theme has a strong rock feel and wondered if it might be interesting to partner with a well-known rock band for a collaboration.

You can find a record of all your quests in Pokemon Legends Z-A within your in-game log. Just press the Plus button to open the map, then press X to view the quest list. The ‘Main’ tab shows the story missions – there are 42 of these, and you’ll complete them as you play through the game. The ‘Side’ tab contains extra missions, which make up most of the game’s optional content. Be careful when reading the mission descriptions, as they might contain spoilers!

This is the latest update for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak, following a previous update for the sequel. You can find details on the last update here. This new update for the first game includes options to customize map icons and text size, Steam timeline markers that show when the background music changes, improved controller support, and other enhancements.

I’m always excited to see what McDonald’s does next! They’re famous for partnering with all sorts of celebs, brands, and even characters I love. Recently, they’ve been doing these awesome meal deals with rappers, built around their favorite orders. And the Happy Meals? Forget about it! They’re constantly adding cool toys based on cartoons and video games, which is a huge treat.
