Yellow Paint Discourse has once again hit the gamer networks. Shortly after the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo went live, players and developers once again argued about the pros/cons of highlighting interactable objects with bright yellow paint.

Palworld players are discovering glitches and exploits aplenty in early access, one of which lets you "get high off your balls" in a very literal sense.
Palworld's simple premise is that it takes crafting elements from the survival genre and mixes them with monster-taming à la Pokemon, only this time your creature friendos have guns and can be exploited for manual labor purposes. Naturally, that means you can catch Pals with Pal Spheres (Poke Ball equivalents), but the item also has a hilarious and hidden secondary use.

Since the game was released into early access, players have taken to social media to post about the hidden glitch that, as you can see in the clip above, lets you achieve some serious height without needing to build tall structures or obtain flying mounts.
The trick is to throw a Pal Ball at a wild creature (or a human, disturbingly), climb atop the ball, and once the capture gauge fills to 100% your character will shoot up toward the atmosphere. I can imagine that's a much faster way of climbing tall terrain or just moving across the world, provided you have enough stamina to glide around.
Something tells me that we've only reached the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Palworld exploits considering the game is an absolute mega-hit and millions of players are likely hunting for glitches right now. The game today became only the sixth-ever Steam release to cross one million concurrent players, a feat that even juggernauts such as Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 couldn't achieve.
For now, read our full Palworld types chart to get the extra edge in combat.

Fusing Pokémon into unlikely mash-ups is a fantasy for many a trainer - judging by how popular the idea is in fan games and legally distinct monster-tamers - but what if you fused all 152 original Pokémon into one contorted mass? Well, one artist spent nine months doing exactly that. And the result is horribly beautiful.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee," is probably one of the most recognizable quotes from any video game, despite only being a throwaway bark in Skyrim. In fact, the line is so popular on the internet, it even reached a medieval expert who decided to seriously break down the mechanics of such an injury in historical context.
Students, busy-bodies, stoners, and gamers have been chilling at their desks with Lofi Girl - the YouTube channel featuring lofi beats and a studious anime girl - for almost a decade. One Steam Next Fest demo now makes that experience kind of playable with a life sim that's perfect for serial procrastinators.
You might have already been won over by Stellar Blade's ultra-stylish action and even more stylish protagonist, but the director has now delved deeper into the roleplaying side of things, explaining how "you can change your Eve."
Steam Next Fest is back for another round of non-stop demos, including one survival game with more in common with Palworld than just its genre.
When catching firearm-wielding creatures in Palworld, a low chance of success usually deters any would-be monster-tamers from trying. But one explorer managed to capture a wildly overleveled creature and beat the whopping 3-in-10,000 odds.
Obsidian Entertainment is hammering away at its fantasy-with-firearms roleplaying game Avowed, due this year, which the developers hope can surpass the "black-and-white" moral binary.
A Palworld player has revealed that catching a Black Marketeer makes his Pal stock refresh every time he spawns. Palworld is one of the most popular releases of the year, and there's no shortage of reasons why Pocket Pair's game is standing out. One of the big appeals of the open-world survival game is its "Pokemon with guns" premise, where players use their captured monsters for much more than battles.
Fromsoftwarian world-building sometimes has centuries explained away in item descriptions for random rusty spoons, which makes hunting down all the lore nuggets just as satisfying as surviving bosses. One YouTuber has done the heavy lifting on Elden Ring for us, thankfully, but it's also taken them over 35 hours to do so.
Palworld trainers are already preparing for the upcoming player-versus-player modes, most notably by hoarding 300 Pal Spheres that can nab other players' creature friends.
Obsidian Entertainment has been heavily emphasizing player choice and freedom in the lead-up to its first-person fantasy roleplaying game Avowed. In line with that you're-the-center-of-the-universe message, the developers have revealed that there's "no one perfect build" in its classless RPG.
