Super Robot Wars 30 Review – God, I Dig Giant Robots

Super Robot Wars 30 is like a best of the series- which is itself the best of for the mecha anime genre. Seriously, if you’ve been a fan of any anime involving giant mechanoid heroes, it’s almost impossible that you haven’t had the Super Robot Wars series brought up to you.

With Super Robot Wars 30, they’ve shown two things- one, that the series isn’t content to rest on its laurels. Two, that giant robots continue to be freaking cool. How does it do this? Read on and find out.

For those not up to speed, the Super Robot Wars series is a gigantic crossover of all things giant and robot. If this is your first game, you might get a bit of tonal whiplash, as they casually mention things like the Earth Federation from Gundam dealing with the fallout of Lelouch’s death from Code Geass.
You play as a survivor of a Space Colony who commandeers an experimental mecha and must now travel with the novice crew of a battleship to save the world (a plot point so laughably tropey in mecha circles even the game calls it a rite of passage).

The combat itself is a tactics-based gameplay- you organize your units to sortie, and move along a grid while attacking units based on things like hit chance, damage type and effective ranges. It’s a nerdy system- and this makes no qualms about being a nerdy game.
What’s New

Of course, the biggest news out of Super Robot Wars 30 is its new features, meant to appeal to newer players. These include a new more open structure, letting you choose the order which your Battleship crew goes on adventures.
The most important role of this feature is in recruiting new units. Now you can make a beeline for your favorite unit, though it’s not like the game will tell you what mission unlocks which character. Instead, you’ll need to use your undying loyalty to be able to tell which title is a reference to which unit., and react accordingly.
This new mission structure also works well with another feature, called the Front. Completed missions can sometimes reappear periodically, and can be a great source of farming kills or other requirements to upgrade your pilots and their mechs.

Personally, I really like this feature. Previous Super Robot Wars titles were astoundingly linear, so the ability to go back and replay old missions is a godsend, especially considering the point of the game- while experiencing the story *is* important, it’s about the power fantasy of having iconic robots like the Gundam, Mazinger Z and Gaogaigar all fighting together. In that sense, having the opportunity to belay your next mission to just lay waste on grunts is a pretty good time.
It has also maintained another important feature, which is the occasional branch mission. Here you’ll have to choose between one of two missions, with the other one being locked off for the rest of your playthrough. Thankfully the game’s New Game+ lets you carry your stuff over, so if you miss your chance and you’ve got the time you can always see the alternate branches.
Speaking of recruitable units, there’s one big new unit- 30 introduces the Dreisstrager, the first player battleship specially created for the game. This ship can even follow you into battle- and as such can be upgraded just like any of the mechs. It’s no slouch either- but you’ll need to spend a lot of your time and resources if you want the Dreisstrager to really become a beast on the battlefield.

Also new to the series is the Auto Battle system- while some fans might bemoan the idea of missing a chance to command their favorite heroes, I actually found it quite useful for those runs where I just wanted to farm kills. The AI lacks any kind of elegance though, so don’t get too used to it- it basically just sends your dudes out and into the fray every single time. But if you just haven’t the time to care about farming, it’s a great assist tool.
Another huge improvement was how Super Robot Wars 30 has changed its approach to Secret Missions. Previously, you unlocked secret missions almost arbitrarily- with 30, you can see in the missions tab what requirements you’ll need to unlock the next mission.
Combined with the more non-linear approach, I really like this. Like I said, I’m not a big fan of just bearing down and going to town on a story- sometimes it’s fun to just mess with the game, and the new information about secret missions.
That being said, take too long and the game will force you to start doing the story- the galaxy is in peril, after all.
An Overwhelming Sense of Style

Of course, the absolute biggest overhaul in the game is how great everything looks. Each attack has its own animation, with no expense spared to make it look as good as possible.
Even more mundane attacks like ordinary beam rifles have a great sense of flair, looking like a shot you’d see out of an episode of Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as changing the music to the unit’s home series. I feel like this is what a lot of Super Robot Wars’ core audience came to look for: The hype moment where your favorite mecha shoots down an enemy mech, and the game spares no expense making that look as cool as possible.
The only downside is that enemies don’t really have much variety in their attack animations- even the bosses often feel like they don’t have more than a handful of moves. There’s also the problem of too many soundtracks- the title track for the female playable character in Super Robot Wars 30 is an absolute banger, but having it be cut off any time another unit attacks does feel a little jarring.
That being said, if you’ve gone full tactics-brain and don’t want to see some of the coolest super moves to ever grace anime, they’re also entirely skippable- so you can focus on your plays if that’s more your speed, which is great if you’re just grinding for more kills.
The Roster

Admittedly, I’m a bit of a mixed bag with regards to the Super Robot Wars 30 roster. On one hand, there’s a lot of really great newcomers to the series- as the GamerBraves’ resident Gridman fan, seeing the SSSS.Gridman incarnation of the character doing dope super moves is something I never thought I’d really see given, well, he’s not really a robot.
There’s also a strong DLC lineup as well, adding units from Sakura Wars and even the Ultraman manga in the coming months. Suffice to say, I feel thoroughly fed with how good this game’s newcomers are.
Despite that though, it feels like it came at the cost of a lot of older characters, which can be disappointing to some. One of the big appeals of Super Robot Wars was that you didn’t have to be a mainstream mech to get in- just look at previous entries use of The Big O. But now a lot of less pop-culture-relevant mechs like Gurren Lagann are notably absent from the lineup.
It also feels like there’s a limit to how streamlined you can make it- characters with multiple forms don’t equip them via an install anymore, and instead use the forms for each attack instead. For example Gridman has multiple forms via his various allies- rather than be able to turn into Max Gridman and have a new moveset, he simply has an attack where he turns into the form as part of the animation.
Of course, it’s not just collecting these characters- you’ll be able to upgrade each one, allocating resources via the AOS system. After level 5 you’ll get a Full Custom bonus, and you’ll be able to assign bonuses like weapon range or movement speed.
Closing Thoughts

If you’ve ever thought about getting into Super Robot Wars, I couldn’t recommend 30 enough to you. It’s easily the most accessible entry in the series, and still retains the nitty gritty charm of the title.
As a game celebrating the legacy of the mecha genre, there’s a lot of cool touches too- Amuro Ray starts off piloting the original RX78-2 Gundam, while Char assumes his Quattro Bajeena persona for the majority of the game.
That being said, knowing it’s a celebration of three decades of Super Robots does make for some unfair comparisons, since so many legacy characters seem left out (considering its status, it seems bizarre that there’s basically no representation for Char’s Counterattack or even Gundam Unicorn). More content could very well be on the way via DLC, but for now it does leave a poor taste in the mouth.
Still, if you enjoy yelling out super attack names as you strike a grunt with a crit you’re gonna love Super Robot Wars 30. I know I did.

Here’s what Electronics Extreme, the event’s organizer, had to say about the event:

Taking the title as one of the pillars was no easy feat as the finalists had to ram their way through numerous obstacles and opponents in order to get the highest points in War of Emperium. In the end, the guild ▪ 322 ▪ led by ³²²Antonette emerged on top in Valhalla while it was ·V·S·O·P·, commanded by Boss·Dy·, which took the highest place in Yggdrasil. But this doesn’t mean these guilds can rest easy.

The other top 2 to 4 guilds (Valhalla: Valiant [Verz], Imperial Regalia, Blitzkrieg; Yggdrasil: J O K E R, Nocturnal, [ insert Guild Name ]) have a fair chance to victory in the year’s most intense duels that will happen in late July. So, it’s to be expected that the heat of the rivalry will rise more than ever.

Diablo Immortal Deep Dive – Putting Gameplay Over Monetization

After a good two years, Blizzard have finally shed some light on the upcoming Diablo Immortal, the mobile experience of the iconic Diablo franchise.

In this deep dive, Wyatt Cheng, Lead Game Designer and Caleb Arseneaux, Lead Game Producer talk everything about Diablo Immortal, from its gameplay systems to even their commitment to making sure it’s not just a Diablo-flavored pachinko machine.

Is it a gacha game? Does it take place in an alternate universe? Is there a cow level? Stay awhile, listen, and read on to find out. We’ve also got our own First Impressions here, for you to check out.

Return to Sanctuary
Immortal takes place in between Diablo II and Diablo III. So while you’re still dealing with the fallout of the Worldstone being destroyed in Diablo II, you’re also living in a world where Diablo hasn’t absorbed the souls of the other prime evils in III, or the rest of the mess that follows that up in Reaper of Souls.

Instead, you’re dealing with Skarn, the Herald of Terror. As you can guess by the name he’s super jazzed about bringing Diablo back, and it’s up to you and the other players of Westmarch to stop him.
Since knowing the timeline of Diablo means we probably won’t be seeing the Lord of Terror, it does make for a cool setting. Knowing that Diablo is out there, and that the world is still healing from its last cataclysmic event is great since it creates a foreboding sense of tension.

Wyatt Cheng, Lead Game Designer on Diablo Immortal says that this breathing room between the two major world events was the perfect place to tell Immortal’s story.
“It’s a 20 year period, and we never really talk about what happened during that 20 years. Players can infer, but there’s a lot of mystery still”, he says. “At the end of Diablo 2, Tyrael is presumed dead. At the beginning of Diablo 3, the opening scene, is this comet falling from the sky, bam, into a church. And we don’t talk about what happens in between, so this is our chance to”.

One of the ways this will tie into previous Diablo entries is the Countess, who will be one of the dungeon bosses in the game. Previously, players would remember farming the Countess in Diablo II, where even Lead Producer Caleb Arseneaux admits she was a really good source of Runes.
“We advanced the canon of Sanctuary in a lot of ways in Diablo Immortal and we’re excited that our dungeons represent these climaxes in our story”, says Arseneaux.

Technical Features
Of course, those who are excited for the game would be upset if we didn’t mention some of the technical details for the game. According to the team, while the game won’t feature aspect ratio changes for playing it on tablets, the device will indeed still be supported.
“We have tablet support. You can definitely play the game on a tablet and it looks great. The tablet is both supported on iOs like the iPad and iPad mini as well as Android. We don’t adjust the field of view/ aspect ratio. But the game is very high fidelity and so when you put it on a tablet, it still looks fantastic”, Cheng says.
There’s also the case of the game’s UI, which pretty conveniently marks all the important information of the game without looking overly cluttered. Cheng says he’s especially proud of the game’s UI, detailing the efforts he made to get it the best it could be.
” One of the guys on our team, his name’s Mike, he’s probably one of the best UI designers that I know”, Cheng says.
“When we started working on DIablo Immortal, I immediately got to work asking him to help up. Because making an MMO on a mobile device is challenging.”, he continues. “When you get your hands on the game, you’ll see it’s a breath of fresh air. It’s clean, it’s open, the UI elements have to be there to a certain degree so that the game can play well”.
“But I think the UI is something that Blizzard has always been passionate about, and it’s a constant challenge. But I’m proud of where we’ve landed”.
That being said, it’s not all good news. According to Cheng, there’s currently no plans for external controller support, so those hoping to get fancy additional peripherals may want to hold off until the team changes their minds on the issue.
Classic Diablo Gameplay
You’ll be playing as multiple classes any Diablo III Player should be familiar with. The base four characters for Diablo III are all here, with the Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Wizard and Monk. They won’t be the same “characters” as their Diablo III counterparts, since those fours stories started as they arrived in Tristram for the first time in Diablo III.

Just like Diablo III, these classes are all gender-customizable, being able to play as the male or female versions of each character. These even have their own Overwatch-style screen select animations, with slight differences between each character.
The characters can be further customized, with different faces for each class, too. One detail I really like is that although Diablo has always been very archetypal with their characters and features, Immortal has shaken things up a bit.

For example, the Barbarian in Diablo III has always been more Nordic in their appearance, playing into all the tropes of Viking berserkers. Immortals’ one has slightly more Asian features, looking more Mongolian despite still retaining all the same key features of the D3 Barbarian.
Of course, just like Diablo III, these four are far from the only classes planned. The team was very open to discussing the prospect of future content, including new classes.
The gist of it was that we would continue the trend of Diablo III classes being represented, with future updates adding story as well as the Crusader and Necromancer. As per the game’s monetization philosophy, these would all be free to make sure you were leveling your characters without de-leveling your bank account.

“So there are couple different way to progress your character”, says Cheng. “For the skills, there are 14 skills that are available. 12 of those are available for classes in technical alpha because the level cap is 45, the final game will have level cap at 60, that’s where you’ll pick up the extra two skill. But for technical alpha you will have 12. So the skill you available you can pick any 5 you want to equip at a time”.
Of course, the game doesn’t stop just because you hit level cap. Similar to Diablo III, the game will have a Paragon system, where levels gained after hitting cap can be invested into several trees. These all focus on different playstyles, allowing you to focus on further boosting damage, or even keeping your character alive for longer.
“You can invest your points in different trees, you can either put all the point in one tree or you can divide all the point into different tree”, says Cheng. “Every tree have specialization that really focus around in term of playstyle. Any time you are not in combat, you can switch which tree is active in a given time”.
An MMO and A Classic Diablo, All In One
One of the biggest draws of Diablo: Immortal will be how it merges MMO and regular Diablo gameplay. It does this by having large open-world zones, which can be populated by all the players on the server. However, dungeons will still be party-based,
This way, fighting roaming hordes of demons can be a group effort, as you walk out and see the glorious sight of scores of Barbarians doing their AoE skills in tandem. Once you wade through the bedlam and get to the next dungeon though, it’s up to you and your party to see that through.
Towns also count as open world zones, meaning you’ll be able to see other players running around Westmarch as you restock on items or look for the bounty board.

World(stone) of Diablo
The best part about these open worlds is that they allow for new content never before seen in a Diablo game. One of these will be World Bosses, which will require much more than a party of 4 to take down. World bosses are a great addition to the world of Diablo, limited only by the fact that no Diablo game had the player capacity for it prior to this.
One of these examples was a Zone Event in the cemetery area, which Cheng describes here.
“Every hour or every two hours, there’s a carriage, a ghostly carriage that comes through the area. Then all the players in the zone can gather and attack the carriage. And as you deal damage to it, loot comes out. If you manage to take down the carriage and destroy it and all of its guards before it reaches the other end of the zone then you can get a big shower of loot at the end”, he says.
“There are all sorts of zone events like that in the different zones. That’s a great moment for players to come together”, he says.
There’s also the addition of guilds, for players to join and support each other as they adventure through Sanctuary. While some may scoff at the idea of it being added to Diablo, it’s a necessary way to manage large groups of players since parties can only have so many people at once.
Hitting All The Social Checkpoints
“We want to enhance the social experience and game are going engaging when you feel like you are the part of the community. There is a number of ways to make you feel like a part of the community, and we want to hit them all in Diablo Immortal”, Cheng says.
“So you can see other people walking by you in the outdoor world so that is cool. You can join a guild, that’s awesome, And then you can also participate in the market and you know that depending on what popular about the other players, prices are changing”, he adds.

“It is not a price that been complete determine by designer somewhere, it’s based on what the player is looking for,” he adds.
Of course, the team are trying to avoid a situation common in Diablo III, namely over-reliance on the auction house.
“In the market, you can’t get gear. That guarantees that player will want to play the game. If you want to make your character more powerful, you go to play the game like playing dungeons, complete some quests, you don’t go to the market in the first place”
“Another lesson is that we putting some protection against bots, it is something that’s in consideration in the design for Diablo Immortal”, he notes. They’re doing this by making the markets anonymous- you won’t be able to see who’s selling what, so you can prevent players from filling up the market as a means of moving content between characters.
Returning from Diablo III is the idea of Elder Rifts and Challenge Rifts, which will allow you to just go forth and kill things. These challenge rooms will have you and your party fighting off enemies to fill up a boss bar. As the bar is filled, a boss monster will appear, allowing you to get valuable loot off it’s corpse.
Even if you’re done with the game’s story, or just looking for a quick way to get your Diablo Fix, these Elder Rifts will probably be your go-to.
You’ll also have Challenge Rifts, which adds random mutations to the rifts. There’ll also be leaderboards for these, meaning you’ll be able to compare your score against all the other players on your server.

Stay Awhile, If You Can
It wouldn’t be an MMO without the opportunity to use your hard-earned loot to beat the tar out of other players. Thankfully, Diablo Immortal is ticking that checkbox with Bilefen, the new PvP area.
Rather than do pistols (or in this case, staves) at dawn, Bilefen is approaching the matter a little differently.
“Bilefen is a free for all PvP. You can go there every few hours a chest spawn and everyone in the area can fight each other who ever last standing after the PVP can claim the chest”, says Wyatt.

Itemization And All That Good Stuff
Of course, it’s not a Diablo game if you don’t know how the mechanics are going to work. As a mobile title, it’s not going to be anywhere near as complex as the main Diablo team has set out for Diablo IV,
One of the things that’s gone from the mainline Diablo games is the concept of resource management. In Diablo III, all the classes had secondary resource meters to manage their abilities, like the Demon Hunter’s Hate or the Wizard’s Mana. These are all gone in Immortal, with skills instead being tied to cooldowns.
Of course, the big question would be how Legendaries work. In Immortal, Legendary affixes will directly buff skills, meaning you’ll want to make sure you’re using the right Legendaries for your build.
This works out thanks to the Reforge feature, taken from Diablo 3. Here, you can use your salvage to reroll affixes on your items, meaning you’ll be able to keep trying until that shiny new spear buffs the skills you want to use.
While rerolling can be dangerous, Diablo Immortal plans to help you make better bets with the use of Family Rune Stones. These will limit the number of skills you can pull from for your skills, meaning you’ll have a better chance of getting the affixes you want.
Of course, sometimes not even rerolling can save you from the scrap pile if the next legendary is just that much better. However, Diablo Immortal is being quite kind about resources used, and has a way to make sure that every weapon plays a role in making your next one stronger.
“So what’s really cool is if you then decide that I ranked up an item, but I don’t want to use it anymore, when you salvage it you actually get all the materials that you used back. And you can use that to feed the next item that you have. And so in that way, none of the items that you’ve ever found or progressed or collected along the way are lost, they’re all ultimately rolling up or feeding into whatever items you’re using now”, Cheng says.

Monetization In Diablo Immortal
Of course, another point of anxiety for fans is how Diablo Immortal would handle monetization. The lights in the studios need to stay on, and there’s equal merit for worrying if the game would go free-to-play or if it would be a premium title.
While Diablo Immortal is a free-to-play game, the team says they want to do their best to make sure it’s more than just a predatory jab at your wallet. All the character classes are free to play from the get go, with no pay walls stopping you from levelling up.
“First and foremost, all of our gameplay systems and core mechanics are designed to be fun first”, says Wyatt Cheng, Lead Game Designer for Diablo Immortal.
Cheng says the game will not skimp on Diablo’s key gameplay just to make a quick buck.
“The game is about killing monsters and getting gear. At Blizzard, gameplay comes first”, he says.
Of course, while playing the game is free, that doesn’t mean the developers won’t charge you for shortcuts. The previously mentioned Family Rune Stones are an example of this, where improving the odds of reforging is ultimately going to cost you if you’re impatient.
There’s also the game’s Battle Pass, another staple of the free-to-play genre. Buying into the Battle Pass will get you various rewards, but only if you’re diligent in completing everything the game has to offer. They hadn’t mentioned pricing structures for these, but clearly they’ve found a way to make sure to preserve the spirit of the game while still making sure the game has money coming in to support its planned updates.

The Business End
Speaking of, the game is developed in tandem between Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase Games. According to Cheng, the partnership with NetEase has a lot to do with their expertise in crafting good mobile games.
“For our partnership with NetEase, we felt like they brought a richness and great experience to mobile games. And we, of course have Diablo and values that we put into every one of our titles and putting those two together is very powerful”, he says.
“There are hundreds of developers working on Diablo Immortal and this is a true triple-A mobile game. We are very collaborative between Blizzard and Netease teams. We have a mantra: that we’re one team. What this means is our designers and engineers, and producers’ work is all very collaborative, and cooperating both to one another. And it’s been great, and I think that the technical alpha is gonna show that”.

While Diablo Immortal might have had a rough start thanks to its faux pas at Blizzcon 2018, there’s a lot to look forward to with this game. From it’s fully-voiced cutscenes to its very Diablo-esque approach to gameplay, this looks like a great Diablo MMO that just so happens to also be on your phone.
A huge thanks to Blizzard for letting us try out the game’s technical alpha, as well as Wyatt Cheng and Caleb Arseneaoux for their deep dive into this exciting new mobile game.

Limited competition in Malaysia leads to high cost of fixed broadband internet services according to World Bank

As a Malaysian, we do aware that our internet services are slow compared to other countries, yet we are paying considerably more for it. While in the latest edition of the Malaysia Economic Monitor by World Bank, we have finally know the part of reasons behind it – it is because of the limited competition, with Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) having a significantly larger market share than the leading firms in other countries.

Image credits to steemit
Here is how TM contributed to the higher fixed broadband prices, according to World Bank:

While TM is the major incumbent of cable-landing stations in Malaysia, rather than allowing for co-location of its stations with other operators, it instead provides point-of-access connection outside the stations and charges a higher fee, which translates to a higher cost of broadband rollout.

Given TM’s extensive broadband networks, it has been awarded exclusive memorandums of understanding with the government to deploy the highspeed broadband and sub-urban broadband plans without contest. This eventually eliminates the possibility of attracting private investment by the network rollout operations.
Malaysia also pays a higher Internet protocol transit prices than is the case in other countries, and this is subsequently passed on to retail consumers of broadband services.

Malaysia ranked 74 of 167 countries for fixed broadband services and 64 of 118 for fibre broadband services. Also, according to the statistics result in February, Malaysia’s average download speed was ranked 63rd of 130 countries with an average download speed of 22.56 Mbps.
This places it behind regional peers, such as Vietnam, and countries with a similar level of economic development, such as Mexico and Turkey. Meanwhile, our regional comparators such as Singapore (161.53 Mbps) and South Korea (129.64 Mbps) came in top and third place in the world ranking!
A recent report of Malaysia’s internet speed via We Are Social
With the announcement of Unifi Turbo, we could finally see some effort from our government (Malaysia government) in raising the quality of internet services. But the effort shouldn’t stop here, we still hope to see improved quality as well as increased coverage of high-speed broadband networks in the future so that we could compete with other countries more effectively (especially in economy and eSports aspect).

YouTube forces Discord’s Rythm Bot to shut down

Rythm Bot, the most popular music bot for Discord will be shut down as Rythm’s owners have complied to a cease and desist order from YouTube. Rythm Bot will officially shut down on September 15th, 2021 at 8:00am PST.

After 5 years of service and over 20 million users. Rythm will be shutting down on September 15th

This is not the end! We have been working tirelessly on a new project that we can't share yet! If you would like updates on this, check out our site here: https://t.co/iw2K1yWv5T ❤

According to Rythm’s updated website:
Even though our current service is shutting down, we’re not going anywhere. We’ve spent the last year working on something brand new in the music space that will revolutionize how we all listen to music. We can’t share much yet, but keep Rythm in your servers and subscribe to our newsletter to get updates as we release them over the next few months.
Premium subscribers of the service that haven’t used a significant amount of their term will be refunded for their unused days. This process is expected to take place over the next 1-2 months.
The termination of Rythm Bot’s service is the second major crackdown from YouTube against Discord music bots. Less than two weeks ago, Groovy, another music bot, also met a similar fate. While it is likely that more music bots will also get a similar treatment in the future, there is a silver lining as both Discord and YouTube are working towards an alternative.

My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble is an upcoming battle royale game from Bandai Namco Entertainment for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC via Steam. While Bandai Namco Entertainment has not made an official announcement for the game, Twitter user @Atsushi101X uploaded magazine scans of the game, as seen below:

According to the text on the scans, the game features Battle Royale combat with up to 24 players in a match. It will also be free to play. While there is no specific release date for the game, a closed beta test for it is on the way, with recruitment currently open.

Beyond that, the scans do not reveal much information about the game, besides the fact that it is a battle royale game based on My Hero Academia. How exactly the game will implement characters’ quirks into its gameplay remains to be seen.
Currently, the game appears to be Japan-exclusive. However, it’s worth noting that six months ago, Bandai Namco trademarked “My Hero Ultra Rumble” alongside “My Hero Ultra Impact”. My Hero Ultra Impact is the global version of the mobile gacha game, My Hero Academia: Ultra Impact. If naming conventions are to be believed, chances are high that My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble will be released outside of Japan as My Hero Ultra Rumble.

Uma Musume adds Valentine Alts: Should You Pull?

With a new banner refresh that will last until 8 February 2022, we have the addition of Valentine alts for Mihono Bourbon and Eishin Flash to the Uma Musume stable.

As per tradition, the stable of Uma Musume is getting its very first (albeit early) Valentine treatment, and given the options, we may potentially see our first meta shakeup in a while. Should you roll? Let’s see.

As one of the earliest new units to be released, Mihono Bourbon has been given her first alternate version and it appears to be very impressive. Good affinities in all distances mean you can run the cyborg in any distances you wish, especially with those training bonuses. More importantly however is the inclusion of Groundwork, a skill that has essentially separated the best runners from the others, as it gave you an acceleration boost from triggering many skills at the start. While that may be situational in standard PVP, it is almost a guarantee activation in the Champions Meetings, provided you equip the appropriate skills. Furthermore, her unique character skill heals you on the side apart from providing a speed boost. Definitely roll for her if you can.

Comparatively, Valentine Eishin Flash looks a lot less exciting on paper, beyond just being a pretty decent betweener. As far as abilities go, there does not appear to be anything that is out of the ordinary, although those training bonuses are pretty nice. She is a step up from her vanilla version at least, so if you do not already have her and want a version of her regardless, the Valentine one might be alright. Not a must have, but since you are going to want to roll for Mihono Bourbon anyway, you might just get spooked either way.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is currently available on Android and iOS for mobile, and DMM Games for the PC.

In this project of short live performances, people can enjoy watching various artists’ performances in a virtual space. The first live show was performed by KEIJU and released worldwide. The stage was set on the streets of Tokyo which were all created in a virtual space.
This virtual space was originally produced with the cooperation of MomentTokyo, REZ& and huez, who is known for XRLIVE productions. Inside this space, there are artworks created by digital artists from OFBYFOR TOKYO which many young cutting-edge creators are a part of. The teaser which was released at the time of the announcement of the launch of this project has gained more than 300,000 views. Following great expectations, finally, the entirety of the project was revealed.
KEIJU performed 3 songs, ‘Falling’, ‘Tears’, and ‘In My Eyez’, where it was as if entering into a video game space. The audience was awed by the stage effect with the cherry blossom petals were falling in sync with the song, also driving through the city in this virtual space with this song. This live show has been released in full size on ReVers3:x Official YouTube Channel.

The live show was shot at Sony’s volumetric shooting studio ‘Volumetric Capture Studio Tokyo’. Sony’s volumetric technology is one of the highest quality in the world. MomentTokyo created the virtual space with Volumetric capture technology using Sony’s 4K camera equipment and UNREAL ENGINE.
Team VJ and REZ, who both have been active in major festivals, took part in lighting and visual directing as a VJ. With their skill and effort, the quality of the live show was on a whole new level compared to the usual virtual music performances. Their amazing visual direction was possible due to this unique virtual environment which is very different from live streaming performances from an actual venue.
The project ReVers3:x is planning to have more XR live shows, mainly with more HIP HOP artists in a random schedule for the 1st season from March 2022. Its aim is to be a cross-cultural spot and is going to release all sorts of entertainment in a virtual space.

We are delighted to extend our collaboration with Razer and bring the performance and super-fast responsiveness of our Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform to one of the most loyal gaming communities in the world.”
The Specs for The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch

Sleep Tracking and Increased Battery Charging Speed
Users can enjoy shorter charging times and extended battery life to maximize their day and night. Track your sleep history, monitor restfulness, and set sleep goals in the Sleep Tile throughout the night, then quickly charge the smartwatch before your day begins.

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch reaches 80% charge in only a little more than 30 minutes of charging. This, combined with the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform’s decreased power consumption and Fossil Group-developed Smart Battery Modes, enables users to quickly reach a full charge in the morning after tracking sleep.
Upgraded Health & Wellness Sensors
The Gen 6 boasts an upgraded heart rate sensor to allow continuous tracking and improved signal accuracy. Users will also benefit from the new SpO2 sensor, which tracks an estimate of the wearer’s blood oxygen measurements to see how well their body is circulating oxygen over time.
Plus, users will continue to enjoy the wellness updates previously released from Fossil Group, including Cardio Fitness Level tracking, which shows an estimation of VO2 max using resting heart rate and user biometrics to indicate overall cardiorespiratory health over time.
Hands-Free Wellness Tracking
Users can stay mindful of their intentions by tracking their wellness goals, from monitoring their heart rate throughout the day, to being reminded to take a moment to reset with a guided breathing session, and even scheduling a daily walk. Plus, hands-free notifications and tethered calls with the built-in microphone will keep you connected without you having to hit pause on your day, or your game.
Wear OS 3 Compatibility

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch will also be compatible with Google’s new system update, Wear OS 3, announced in 2021. The smartwatch will be eligible for the Wear OS 3 system update in 2022, alongside other updates that will continue to improve the overall user experience.

Stainless steel case, top ring, and pushers
44mm case size
Stunning 1.28’’ touchscreen digital display (326 PPI)
Swimproof (up to 3 ATM)
Customizable dials and button functionality
Interchangeable straps and bracelets

Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Altimeter, PPG Heart Rate, SpO2, Off-body IR, Ambient Light
Wear OS by Google
8 GB of storage and 1 GB RAM

Katawa Shoujo is available for free on the Jast USA Store

The indie visual novel Katawa Shoujo (translated as Disability Girls) is now available for free on the Jast USA store. This release coincides with the game’s 10th anniversary from its initial release on the 4th of January 2012.

Katawa Shoujo has always been available for free on its website but this will be the first time the indie game will be available on a more prominent launcher. The Jast version of the game will also come with bonus content including an art book, wallpapers, and the soundtrack.

Katawa Shoujo stars Hisao Nakai, a high school student who after receiving a confession from a classmate, ends up having a heart attack.
It turns out he has arrhythmia, a medical condition that causes his heart to beat irregularly. He is sent to Yamaku, a school that specializes in caring for students with disabilities, and medical staff on standby. Here, he meets five different girls with who he can gradually get close to and start to romance.

Katwa Shoujo is a fairly important game as one of the first prolific visual novels by a western studio. It was first conceived and developed by Four Leaf Studios, a team of 4Chan users who were inspired by concept art drawn by Japanese doujinshi artist Raita.
Despite 4Chan’s less than stellar reputation, Katawa Shoujo is known for its well-written representation of people with disabilities and their struggles as well as showing that they are people beyond that physical condition.
I personally consider it a must-read for any fan of visual novels. It should be noted that the game does have NSFW scenes, however, these can be turned off in the options if you would prefer to see them.
While the game has always been available for free, it is great to see it on a new platform where it can find a new audience.
Katawa Shoujo is available for free on PC, Mac, and Linux on Jast USA. Other well-known visual novels on the Jast USA store include titles like Steins;Gate and Huniepop.

Genshin Impact: A Message in Time web event gives a shot at a Welkin Moon

The Genshin Impact A Message in Time web event is now open for players to get a slightly personalized postcard to commemorate their time in Teyvat. The event is accessible through here.

All you need to do – or even allowed to do – is to select your favourite view of Teyvat from a selection of vistas of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. Then, choose your character emoji from a pretty limited selection, as the characters don’t have more than one option each. Last but not least, sign off with a pre-determined selection of messages to link to either your memories of the past, or for your goals in the coming year. You can then share the card to put you in the raffle for the Blessing of the Welkin Moon. You can also edit these options later if you want.

“Chainsaw Man Anime will have no Censorship” says MAPPA CEO

Chainsaw Man censorship is a topic that would scare fans of the series, fortunately, MAPPA CEO will be staying faithful to the manga and will not be having censorship in the anime adaptation.

The staff of the production committee for the Chainsaw Man anime adaptation had held an exclusive panel during Anime Expo 2022, where the committee members, along with MAPPA’s CEO, Hamura Otsuka, went about answering questions that fans brought up during the panel.

According to Anime Senpai, one of the particular question that a fan had brought up during the Q&A panel is that, “will the script be censored? And how will the gore be handled in the anime?” To which the committee replied: “No, we want all the content to be raw, like in the manga. We are not going to censor anything. We want to be faithful to the original material”.
During the panel, Otsuka has revealed that the staff had originally planned on releasing something for the fans but was ultimately scrapped due to a time restraint.

But worry not, as fans can be expecting new Chainsaw Man information during the Crunchyroll Expo, which will be held on August 5, 6, & 7, this Summer.
Chainsaw Man censorship will fortunately not be a worry for fans as having the anime adaptation being faithful to the source will definitely be a big relief to fans of the series, since the rawness of the violent and brutal scenes from the manga panels are arguably one of the biggest appeal of the manga.

Chainsaw Man is set to be release 2022 this year while the second part of the manga will be released soon, on July 13th 2022.

Electronic Arts and Maxis announced The Sims 4 High School Years Expansion Pack, offering players a chance to carve their own path as they navigate their teenage years. The expansion will be available on the 28th of July.
High school is a time of self-discovery, and in the latest expansion, players can live out their high school dreams as they make the most out of being a teenager, explore their identity, attend high school, and test boundaries through choices and growth, or just kill the swim team by removing the pool ladder.

“The Sims 4 High School Years takes players on a journey of growth to tell personal stories of self-discovery and the drama of being a teenager,” said George Pigula, Lead Producer of The Sims 4 High School Years. “Sims will learn to juggle school and extracurricular events, form lifelong friends, and experience big moments like prom. They can even develop their own fashion likes & dislikes with the new Trendi app with clothes designed by Depop sellers. High school is an incredibly formative time, and we wanted to give players the chance to create and customize their own, personalized high school experiences before their Sims reach young adulthood.”

In High School Years, players can craft their own experiences in the new world of Copperdale at school, after school, and on the weekends. Teen Sims will learn and grow, express themselves and transform their lives throughout the roller coaster of puberty.

Sims can purchase clothing items designed by real-world Depop sellers Jeremy Salazar, Sha’an D’Antes, Lapoze McTribouy, Selena Williams, and Bella McFadden in-game at the local thrift store and boba hangout, ThrifTea, hype up their looks and earn Simoleons by selling outfits on the new in-game Trendi apps.

In addition to attending class and joining extracurricular activities at Copperdale High School, Sims can go on a date to remember at Plumbite Pier. Players can also customize their Sim’s prom experience, from promposal to picking the perfect prom outfit and getting ready for the big event, so Teen Sims can dance the night away with friends.

The Sims 4 High School Years Expansion Pack will be available on July 28 for PC and Mac via Steam and Origin, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
