The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 finally went official a couple of hours ago, and it was one of the first mobile SoCs to feature only performance cores, meaning that there were no efficiency cores on the chipset. In addition to that, the chipset also featured a race-to-idle concept, meaning that it would work at full speed to handle smaller tasks rather than working at a lower speed and taking a longer time.
Secret Starfield Locations Show How Fast Travel Ruins A Good Story

is jam-packed with secret locations for players to find, but the means of discovering them is pretty disappointing. Fast travel is essentially the primary method of transportation to each of the game's central locations, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it’s the smaller, more hidden locations that suffer. This is a shame because many of these areas have intriguing stories attached to them, but the wind is taken out of the sails a bit because of fast travel.
In Bethesda’s previous titles, fast travel was available, but players could walk wherever they needed to go, even if it meant traversing long distances. To some, traveling across the map may feel like a tedious task, which is understandable given the size of the worlds the studio creates. However, exploring the map in this way led to an organic discovery of secret locations, which carries a significant impact on how players engage with the storytelling., on the other hand, lacks this quality, and it’s disappointing because it has some genuinely stellar secret areas and stories.

The Colander is the best example in of a secret location with a gripping story. At some point in their travels, the player may encounter a ship that won’t respond to hails. The only way to know what’s going on inside the vessel is to dock and board. Once aboard, players will find corpses and several computer logs that detail the tragic events that took place. Many notes reference a creature that got loose, heightening the tension of exploring the Colander.
Most of the ship's doors are locked, so players must navigate through the cramped vents to get deeper into the vessel. Each time a new room is entered, the player must face the possibility of fighting the terrifying creature. It creates a unique sense of horror that is otherwise missing throughout ’s side quests. Perceptive players may notice that the Colander is a reference to the plot of the film, making this location an Easter egg, as well as a great display of environmental storytelling.

There are a handful of other great secret locations in that one can discover on their adventures, such as the Derelict Bireme (which has a story very similar to The Colander) and the Almagest Casino. However, the way that players find these areas ends up ruining much of the experience.
There’s no denying that is an enormous game with 1000 planets to explore, but this exploration is rather shallow and often conflicts with the storytelling mode that Bethesda has traditionally excelled at. ’s reliance on fast travel hinders Bethesda’s classic environmental storytelling.

It's "frightening" how fast we have to release Like A Dragon games to stay "relevant", says Yakuza writer
A little knowledge can be worse than no knowledge at all. I know a little about the Yakuza series, having reviewed the 1980s-set Yakuza Zero for this very parish in 2018, and tried a bit of 2019's turn-based battler Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Fast-forward to 2023, and all Yakuza games are now Like A Dragon games, including the forthcoming Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which is an... Animal Crossing game, actually? With skateboarding? I'm still getting my head around the existence of a zombie spin-off, Dead Souls, to say nothing of the samurai-era Like A Dragon: Ishin. And then there's the inter-quel Like a Dragon Gaiden, due this November, which seems like a relatively straight-laced delve into the past of original protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Phew, it's just as well Ed Thorn wrote that guide to the order you should play the Yakuza games in.
