In Donkey Kong Bananza, there are three types of fossils you can find in the Canyon Layer. You’ll find common leaves, rare trilobites, and a very rare triceratops fossil as you journey through this mining town. Below, we list where to find the rarer fossils in the Canyon Layer. Note that we’re not listing where to find common fossils, like the leaves. There’s simply too many of them to list,...
Substance abuse education in the United States has long been regarded as corny, at best. (Think: D.A.R.E.) But LA-based nonprofit End Overdose is trying to make the field relatable through a browser game called Narcat’s World, a point-and-click adventure that teaches players how to respond to opiate overdoses and save lives by administering Narcan. The game (which can be played for free on the official Narcat’s World website) features colorful...
Tales of the Shire’s setting, the little Hobbit hamlet of Bywater, is absolutely lovely. Its lush forest, picturesque Hobbit-holes, and friendly locals seem to make it an excellent location to settle down and enjoy the cozy Hobbit life. Too bad it’s about to be wrecked in The Scouring of the Shire just years later. I have to admit, I didn’t give much thought to Tales of the Shire’s setting until...
How much should games cost? We asked that question back in 2017, when the standard big-budget release came in at $60, and even made the case for prices being lowered to $50, or even $40. Some studios got the memo: Helldivers 2 launched at $40, for instance, and Dune 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrived at $50. But in spite of our very convincing math and graphs, prices on...
In Donkey Kong Bananza, Ingot Isle is actually where you start the game, learning how to control DK and picking up a few Banandium Gems along the way. After you beat the game, you’ll be able to fully explore Ingot Isle again, this time expanded with more golden bananas to find. [Ed. note: There are a few spoilers ahead. While the first sublayer Banandium Gems are part of the tutorial,...
Back in the mid-1980s, the nighttime soap opera Dallas set the all-time gold standard for terrible uses of the “It was all a dream!” plot reveal, with a ridiculous twist erasing the entire previous season. In the decades that followed, Hollywood has continued to exploit this overused trope. Horror movies, in particular, going back to the beginning of cinema and including genre classics like Carrie and Friday the 13th, have...
Unless you take curation of your social feeds very seriously, the tidal wave of AI slop images and videos has felt nigh inescapable. More worrying still is how often this crashing tide serves to highlight which of our loved ones struggle to discern AI-generated content from all the slop made by human hands. Even worse still, one can often find oneself fooled by an image spat out by a generative...
Amazon Q, the company's AI coding assistant, reportedly exposed almost one million users to a potential system wipe, and the hacker who did it claims to have exposed the 'security theatre' at the heart of Amazon's system.As reported by Techspot, Amazon Q has an open-source GitHub repository for its code, and this is what the hacker took advantage of. They reportedly gave instructions that, if followed, could delete users' files...
Rematch is great—I've already sunk about 40 hours into the thing and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Just one small problem, though: the desync issues are still rough. In any given match, there's a chance you'll make a dive towards a ball—only for the fabric of time to hiccup, subjecting you to an avalanche of vicious 'good jobs!' and a wash of unearned shame.Sloclap's already made efforts to...
Cooking is the most complex activity in Tales of the Shire. Chopping, mixing, frying, seasoning… If you want to create delicious dishes, you’ve got to learn all that and more. It’ll take some effort, but once you get the hang of it, you won’t just be a top chef; you will also be the most popular Hobbit in Bywater. From the basics of cooking to achieving the flavor bonus, here’s...
