'Ruin his life'—Old School Runescape player gets such unhinged advice from community that showing their cousin the responses is all it takes to get a 96 million gold wand back

Last week, Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4 dropped, bringing more than 1,000 fixes to Larian's CPRG. As with any patch that large, however, there's a pretty good chance it'll mess with your mods, which is exactly the fate that befell one player - with horrifying results.

Incremental level caps, level 25 raids, and a new rune system will bring big changes to the 2004-era MMO.

For how large Baldur’s Gate 3 is, it’s not surprising to hear how players are still discovering new things. This one Baldur’s Gate 3 player is shocked on Reddit to find a new enemy after playing for 500 hours.

Burgee Media described its indie game Erenshor as “a single player nod to the MMORPGs of the past”, and after a demo release in September, a big update is coming next week with new features.

'83 was announced in 2019 as a persistent FPS for up to 80 players set in an alt-history world where the Cold War turned hot. Development was being handled by Antimatter Games, the team behind the excellent Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, but work was put on hold in May 2022 so the team could focus on its IGI Origins reboot, and then it all ran aground a year later when parent company Enad Global 7 elected to close the studio. The fates of '83 and IGI Origins were unclear in the wake of the studio shutdown, but it sure didn't look good for either of them.

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update changed so much about the game, it'd probably be quicker to list things it didn't touch than the systems it tweaked or wholesale refinished. But the most impactful, I think, is the skill tree revamp, which changes how you build V and what you're capable of. I only played about two hours of Cyberpunk in 2020, so when I really sunk my teeth into 2.0 I was shocked to look back at how the trees were designed before. There were still cool skills there, but without the more obvious build paths and synergies in 2.0. I asked CD Projekt Red how that change came about.

The Elder Scrolls Online has a lot of achievements, to put it lightly. We're talking over 1,000 in the base game and hundreds per DLC, amounting to 59,465 points. I've played for nine years, with around 2,000 hours, and amassed 17,000 points, and I'm barely scratching the surface. ch3m_gaming has gone much, much further.

Forestry 2, the sequel to Forestry, is another expansion to Old School Runescape's woodcutting skill. If you assume that something like chopping down trees is a casual, uncomplicated, nice way to kill a few hours—you would be gravely mistaken. I'm about to try and break this down for you, but even just skimming the surface is giving me conniptions. 

Community is the lifeblood of an MMORPG. The strength of a community can retain players during content droughts and attract new ones. Part of helping that community along is on the developers, engaging with them in meaningful ways.

Up until a few years ago, if you wished to purchase a foldable smartphone in India, the only option available would have been Samsung. However, that is not the case anymore as brands such as Oppo, Motorola and Tecno have introduced several fold and flip smartphones, and that too at a price tag that has made this segment a much more competitive place. Aiming to establish its foothold in India's foldable smartphone market, OnePlus, which was once touted as the ‘flagship killer', has launched its first-ever flagship foldable smartphone in India.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 senior audio designer Jerry Berlongieri gave us a glimpse into the curious techniques Insomniac Games used to capture the sounds of New York City for the well-received superhero action game. 

The Deck of Many Things, the next new supplement for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons, is a first-of-its-kind product for Wizards of the Coast. According to lead designer Jason Tondro (a veteran of Paizo’s Pathfinder), the “innovation project” seeks to build a new body of lore around one of the game’s oldest magical items. Used one way, the eponymous deck is the embodiment of old-school dungeon crawling at its finest. But, just like its namesake, this short stack of cards holds many secrets.
