A dedicated hardcore Pokemon player has managed to complete what's arguably one of the most difficult Nuzlocke challenges out there after 11,130 attempts, all while wrestling with a run-destroying spreadsheet and a deep desire for a 'perfect run.'

If you're a Palworld player on Xbox, an important patch has been rolled out to ensure that your save data is actually saving correctly, after some players started to see things go awry when their data got a bit too big for the game to handle.
There's no doubt that in gaming, there's little worse than losing your progress, whether that's in a worst-case scenario like your entire file going kaput, or even just a couple of hours lost thanks to a crash or power cut. Well, according to Palworld's most recent patch notes, until the last update (v0.1.5.2), there was a chance of Xbox players' saves not actually being recorded correctly if they exceeded 16MB.
Of course, 16MB really isn't much—in fact, it's more than 1,000 times smaller than the Xbox version of the game's full download size. However, it was clearly causing issues internally, but as long as you have the latest update installed, it should no longer be a problem. So, feel free to continue chucking Pal Spheres at everything you come across and breeding Pals until you get your perfect Relaxaurus.

The latest Xbox patch was, overall, rather small—the only other fix was for a multiplayer-related bug that could make the game crash. That said, these were definitely crucial changes to make and should seriously improve the Xbox experience.
As it's still in early access, plenty more content is set to arrive in Palworld in the future. In fact, a previously shared roadmap revealed that PvP and endgame raids are on the way, amongst other things.
Just last week, Pocketpair community manager 'Bucky' teased that "some very cool things" are going to arrive "very soon," and while no hints were given as to what these things might be, it's certainly an exciting mystery.

Despite Helldivers 2 players being encouraged to move away from their enthusiastic bug-squashing in favor of some brutal bot-smashing, there are still a surprising amount of Helldivers not joining in on the latest Major Order, which isn't very democratic of them.
It's big news for Helldivers 2 players as sex has seemingly been unbanned, just days after many loyal Helldivers received in-game messages telling them that all procreation applications were being denied.
It finally happened – Jennifer English, Shadowheart's actor in Baldur's Gate 3, has reached the iconic fight scene between her high half-elf and the Githyanki warrior Lae'zel, which she and her real-life partner have hailed as "the most sapphic scene" in the game.
Dragon's Dogma 2 has been out and in players' hands for almost a week now, and it's fair to say that although it launched to incredibly positive critic reviews, certain elements haven't been received fantastically by the fanbase. The action-RPG was immediately hit with backlash for its microtransactions, and plenty of people have been left frustrated by the deadly Dragonsplague mechanic, too.
The Dragon's Dogma 2 community has been left shaken by the existence of Dragonsplague – a deadly illness introduced in the sequel that can result in entire towns being killed. Left unchecked, the contagious disease – which can be spread game-to-game by hiring infected Pawns – has the potential to result in numerous NPCs, including important quest-givers, being wiped out overnight.
It's been a turbulent few days in the Helldivers 2 community. Arrowhead Game Studios (and the Ministry of Truth) has finally admitted that flying bugs are real, and the airborne critters are currently running wild in the game. We were also given a seriously tough Major Order from galactic game master Joel, which tasked us with liberating five planets in just three days.
It was initially rather surprising when Moon Studios, well known for developing the beloved Metroidvania games Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, announced that its next game isn't a Metroidvania at all. No Rest for the Wicked is an action-RPG not unlike Diablo, but the devs have reassured that it's "much more Metroidvania" than most games in the genre.
It's a great day for free-to-play Overwatch 2 players, but not so much for those who've been spending money on the first-person shooter to get access to new heroes as soon as possible. Blizzard has confirmed that from Season 10 onwards, new playable characters will be distributed to everyone instantly, preventing paying players from accessing new heroes faster than free-to-play users.
Less than a week after its incredibly shaky launch, Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection's first update is here. As well as removing a handful of crashes introduced in the re-release, Aspyr has also rolled out a fix for a bug that's been lurking in the original Battlefront 2 since 2005. Better late than never, right?
On the near first anniversary of first-person dungeon adventure Dark and Darker's removal from Steam, developer Ironmace has announced its launch on the Epic Games Store.
The Helldivers 2 community is a fun place, especially when players remain as enthusiastic about the prosperity of Super Earth on social media as a real Helldiver would out on Erata Prime. There's no doubt the developers encourage this, with game director Johan Pilestedt recently branding the footage of flying Terminids as "propaganda from bug sympathizers" and refusing to acknowledge their existence.
