Top Twitch Streamers Earnings Reportedly Over $700k In September With The Twitch Affiliate Program

A massive leak from Twitch has been published online, showing the monthly earnings of streamers part of the Twitch Affiliate Program.

According to the leak which was verified by VGC, the top earning Twitch channel in September was xQcOW, the popular Canadian Overwatch streamer. In the report, he was quoted as having made USD 752,467 in September.
He’s at a sizeable lead over the second highest earning streamer in the month, summit1g who clocks in at USD 362, 987. Summit1g is a streamer known for playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

It wasn’t all esports streamers though, as more popular names were also on the list such as World of Warcraft streamer Asmongold as well as entertainment streamer Cr1TiKaL (of meme fame).
This information only included earnings from the Twitch Affiliate program, and doesn’t include things like donations as well as merch sales, so it’s not fully indicative of how much top Twitch streamers actually earned.
Interestingly enough the leak also includes a report on Twitch payouts over the past two years, tallying from August 2019 to October 2021. On this metric the number one spot goes to popular D&D podcast Critical Role, hosted by voice actor Matthew Mercer.
According to the report, the channel made USD 9.6 million, to xQcOW’s USD 8.4 million in the same time frame.
The Big Takeaway
While the obvious first takeaway would be the sheer amount of money you can make while streaming, the disparity between two streamers next to each other on the list is another good lesson- that it’s very much not a sure bet since it very much will depend on the kind of following you’ll have.
While a lot of the streamers on this list play popular games like CS:GO and Valorant, it’s interesting to see the streamers who operate in more niche circles, such as Asmongold and Maximillian, who represent MMO players and the Fighting Game community also make the big list.

Pokemon Quest Guide – How to evolve Eevee to Jolteon, Flareon or Vaporeon

It has been quite a while since Pokemon Quest is launched, how is your progress? As most of you who are playing have probably get yourself an Eevee (or more) already, you would want to evolve them and complete your Pokedex. In this Pokemon Quest guide, we will tell you how to evolve your Eevee to Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon!

Check out our gameplay video:

These are the guide(s) we wrote for Pokemon Quest previously:

Cooking Recipes and the type of Pokémon it attracts
Move tier list, best moves of every Pokemon listed

Eevee is a very special Pokemon where it has up to 8 types of evolution in the history of Pokemon games. While in Pokemon Quest, the mobile game only offers Pokemon from Generation I (for now), so we can only evolve our Eevee into 3 types – Vaporeon (Water-type), Jolteon (Electric-type) or Flareon (Fire-type).

Eevee evolves at level 36, and the type of Eevee you will get after evolution depends entirely on Power Stones. Here is how you can manipulate the result:

To get Vaporeon, you will need to equip Eevee with more Sturdy Stones than Mighty Stones.

To get Jolteon, you will need to equip Eevee with the same amount of Sturdy Stones and Mighty Stones, or not equipping any stones at all when it hits level 36.

To get Flareon, you will need to equip Eevee with more Mighty Stones than Sturdy Stones.

Aren’t the steps easy? In my opinion, Vaporeon and Jolteon have the higher value amongst the 3 evolution as Vaporeon can learn Hydro Pump, while Jolteon can learn Thunder (the best skills listed in our move list guide). However, which one to evolve into is all up to your choice, so have fun evolving your Eevee!

[GameStart 2019] Filling a gap in SEA, a chat with Prakash Ramajillu on Gamescom Asia 2020

As GameStart 2019 wraps up, we can begin looking forward to the events in the coming year. To wit, Gamescom Asia 2020 will gradually approach us. We talk to Prakash Ramajillu, Division Director of Technology, Digital Media, Entertainment & Mobility at Koelnmesse Pte Ltd, Singapore, about organizing the upcoming event.

Gamescom will be in Asia for the first time, with Koelnmesse backing it in Singapore. Prakash expresses his excitement at the plans finally getting into motion, saying it’s been in the works for a while though its launch was only in May this year. “It’s been at least almost a 2 year journey,” he reveals. There’s plenty of potential and prospects to make the event huge, continuing off where GameStart leaves.

Germany’s Gamescom often sees the latest games showcase, launch or have demo gameplay at the event. Plenty of big names like Bandai Namco, Square Enix and Ubisoft make their presence known, so the Asia chapter has much to live up to. Prakash is definitely hoping for a similar showing, talking about the meetings to bring the same caliber of showing to Asia. So far, he cannot confirm anything specific, but the global network is assisting in bringing the dream to life. They’re working to bring the names to the SEA region, for sure.
As it happens, Razer has already committed to Gamescom Asia, which Prakash considers as a good start. The company will be one of Gamescom’s esports partners and will help in curating the esports zone at the event. As with most things, it’s currently a work in progress, but it will help in the momentum to get even more companies to opt in.

Razer organized a bootcamp for the SEA Games representatives in September.
Gamescom Asia is meant to fill a gap in the SEA region, where there is a lack of a “Tier 1” event. Many countries, if not all, have their own gaming event, which are often very localized. Ranging from E3, ChinaJoy and Tokyo Game Show, he says they often have their own purpose to serve. Gamescom, with the weight of its brand, intends to take that opportunity within the SEA region, to create a space to showcase the region’s abilities, games, and bring the rest of the world over. “I think we can create something that’s quite unique for this region,” says Prakash.
Regardless, he intends to stay realistic and not expect the same numbers of Europe’s Gamescom in Asia in its first year. The plan is to create a big festival environment where it’s not just about the event, but everything else surrounding Gamescom Asia; esports, cosplay, you name it. As it is, the planned indie game zone alone is the size of GameStart’s hall. The current intent is to fill the whole fourth floor in Suntec, with Gamescom being about twice as big as GameStart. Gamescom Asia will not be B2C – business to consumer – alone, and will feature a big B2B – business to business – component.
Tokyo Game Show 2019 saw over 260,000 visitors. Image source: Getty Images.
Conferences are to be held on the first two days, with meeting spaces for interested companies for B2B. Prakash mentions how most events in the region tend to be B2C focused, so this is already a different tack. Other SEA country events could see large turnouts thanks to the population, which Singapore doesn’t have the luxury of. They’d definitely want to bring in more of the regional communities for the event, with all regions to be represented at Gamescom Asia.
With Razer on board, they can envision some plans to create esports opportunities related to the region’s hottest titles. The finer points are still being worked on, but Prakash suggests announcements will arrive over the next 2 months. He believes the mobile market is very strong in SEA, but will not be neglecting PC or consoles, seeing them as part of the whole gaming ecosystem. There will be a focus on mobile, definitely, with the exact weighting to be decided. For the time being, he hopes people will see Gamescom Asia as a venue to kickstart their plans.

Prakash too is studying the gaming scene. How different SEA is from Europe he can’t give a direct answer yet, but in the end, all gamers carry their passion no matter the regional characteristics. As he understands for now, the most readily obvious differences would be in the type of games and platforms played on. He’s slowly getting back into the groove of gaming and will continue to learn as he goes.
 Gamescom Asia can be a good starting point for the region’s gaming scene to grow. Prakash also places importance on the local governments: how do they help developers to grow, how their products are marketed and so forth. Pockets of strong development have been appearing, so he thinks it’s just a matter of time a big player will rise to contend with the rest of the world.
Why not stop by Level Up KL to see what it has in store?
While there’s nothing concrete he can divulge, Prakash encourages readers to keep an eye out for future announcements. They need time, and there’s often a lot of planning even close to expected deadlines. They want to create an atmosphere of fun that the world will join in with, and to grow the event into something much bigger. More news is likely to come out towards the end of the year as more pick up on the opportunity that Gamescom Asia can provide.
Whatever it is, there’s plenty of excitement in store for the future. Just hang in there, and the announcements will be made as time progresses. What are you hoping for?

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia – A Newbie’s Guide!

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia is a game by Square Enix and they had just recently launched the English version globally on the 30th of January 2018! The game that was keeping Final Fantasy fans on the edge to download the game had brought joy to all of us whom have waited since its release in Japan. Currently, the game has been climbing up the mobile market charts to be one of the top downloaded games on both iOS and Android.

Though the game has been released in Japan on the 1st of February 2017, some of us may already know the tips and tricks via the wikia. However we’ve made it easily accessible for newbies right here. If you don’t know what the game has to offer yet, here’s a quick rundown of the game.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Introduction
Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia is a mobile RPG where Square Enix brought the classics of their Final Fantasy series into the Dissidia IP. Players will be battling with a 3-man-team against enemies in a turn-based strategic battle just like the good ‘ol times! Like all RPGs nowadays, “Levels” are a very important strength indicator for your characters along with good equipment. So the question that many of us may wonder are; “How do we raise our character levels as fast as possible?”, “Is there a leveling spot?”, “How do we procure the best equipment for my character?”

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

How To Raise Your Level Fast?
Here’s the frequently asked question answered in a short sentence; Grind Event Stages. Yes it’s as simple as that! The Event Stages are Crystal Caves which opens everyday, however you can only grind it 10 times a day. If you are hardcore enough, you can also spend a “key” after you’ve depleted your 10 tries of the day to open the cave for 30 minutes! Everyday, different coloured Crystal Caves would open which the coloured crystals can be used to enhance your characters based on their own crystal colour.

Be warned though as there is a Quest Level which indicates the difficulty of the stage. If your party is not strong enough, it may be difficult for you to breeze through the stages. However don’t be discouraged! There are strong friends that you can bring along which you can use them for 3 turns in a stage so use them wisely (use them at the last stage – boss stage). As long as you complete the stage, your team will gain full experience and level really fast as you challenge the higher stages.

How To Earn Gems Fast And How To Get Better Equipment?
Weapons and accessories are as important as just gaining levels on a character. However in this game, gems are needed to gain the most powerful and suitable weapons and accessories for your favourite characters which are through gacha. Thanks to the generosity of Square Enix, the game is fairly easy to allow us to farm gems. Players can gain gems from completing stages in the Campaign Story Mode, Event Stages and the World of Illusions.

On the Story Mode, players can only play up to Chapter 5 currently which will already reap players over 25,000 gems (thanks to their official launch gift event); a full 5 10+1 pulls on the banners (considering pulling on 5,000 gems banner). New events will almost always be introduced every other week so players will be able to challenge the new stages and reap in more gems. So rest assured that you don’t really have to spend your greens at all to play this game. There are plenty of gems to go around if you spend wisely.

If you’ve just started playing Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, then this is just about the right timing! Currently there’s a Squall Event where everyone will be able to obtain him as long as you complete the quest stage, “The Burden We Bear”! So if your team isn’t strong enough to take on the Behemoth yet, don’t worry, just follow the guide above and you’ll be stronger in NO TIME!

Red Candle Games‘ Devotion is becoming available to the market again in a physical set, though it does not appear to be available outside of Taiwan at the time of writing. You can check it out on their website, coming in two options (one with soundtrack and one without).

This Devotion physical edition set is only available to Taiwanese fans/Taiwan until 15 June.

This wasn’t just cosplay though, as the full routine revolved around the two characters as well, featuring music and dialogue from the game, and even using props of the characters’ items.
We’ve reached out to the duo for further comment, and will update this article appropriately once they’ve given it.
A video of the performance caught traction on Reddit and Facebook, with many Malaysian fans surprised to see their favorite Genshin Impact players skating in the shopping mall.
“Wow that was pretty amazing!! Just waiting for the live action Genshin movie now”, writes one redditor, HotChoc64.
It’s no secret that Genshin Impact is huge in Malaysia- you can spot people cosplaying various characters at conventions, and Hoyoverse in turn has responded by hosting events as well as localized advertisements in the country, too.
Turning character stories from the game into a skate program is no easy task- and clearly the mark of very passionate fans of both ice skating and Genshin Impact.

The photos look like this may be the most elaborate collaboration with Genshin Impact yet- aside from the new key art, it looks like fans will also be able to get acrylic stands of the characters, complete with a cardboard background and acrylic keychains, all sporting the special illustration.
One post on reddit shows that the leaks came from the event’s logistics supplier, who took photos of the goods while they were being transported.

While the merch never being officially confirmed, it definitely looks like some kind of Genshin Impact HeyTea collab is in the works- the HeyTea Weibo account has since commented on the matter, asking fans to wait a while longer for an announcement.
“A little panicked [tears], don’t worry dear travelers, Hei is working overnight to prepare it!”, the post reads, using a GenshinImpact Hey Tea hashtag.
This isn’t the first time a tea company has collaborated in Genshin Impact- given the character Ayato’s ties to Boba, he’s often used as a mascot for such things.
UPDATE, 5 SEPTEMBER: HEYTEA has since announced the details regarding the collaboration.

The game features newly drawn artwork for the Personas used and thought in battle. Several of these new illustrations have been altered to remove the partial nudity present in their original designs such as with Lilim, Lamia, and Succubus who have been covered with new layers of clothing.
Furthermore, Chinese regulations also state that you cannot depict skeletons in games either so demons that have prominent skulls incorporated into their designs like Hell Biker and Bugbear have also had these elements removed. The vicious goblin Bugbear now has had his stomach sewn shut and Hellbiker has a hockey mask-looking helmet. It should also be noted he is currently the only known fiend [skeleton demon] that is appearing in the game.

China currently has tight censorship laws for what content is allowed on a video game for it to be approved for release in the country. According to the Neon Doctrine CCO Vlad Tsypljak who has published several games in China:
“There is a bunch of other stuff [rules and regulations] you have to implement into a game [to publish it in China]. No violence, gore, blood, skeletons, time travel, religious themes, political themes, and more”.
While censorship isn’t ideal, I don’t think changing the designs of the demons will affect Persona 5 X in a way that is truly detrimental, or at least from what we’ve seen of the game. I dare say I think Lilim and Lamia are actually really pretty good in their new threads.
In general, the new artwork makes most of the old SMT demons look great with vibrant new colors and dynamic poses. Here’s a look at some of the other demon/persona artwork you can expect in P5X:

The latest gameplay footage of Black Myth: Wukong feels more like a full-blown trailer than a simple gameplay test, as its title says. Over 12 minutes long and recorded entirely on Unreal Engine 5, you can catch the stunning video from developer Game Science below:

Having transitioned from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, the game now supports a tonne of new improvements, such as 4K resolution, 60 FPS, DLSS and Ray Tracing. While these features are definitely things to look forward to, the content provided by the video itself is really intriguing.

From headless musicians to whatever this thing is, the game is shaping up to be a worthy contender to From Software’s Souls series.

Baiken Hell’s Kitchen Cameo Resurfaces On The Internet

Amid all the hype of Baiken coming to Guilty Gear Strive, fans have dug out one lesser-known guest appearance for the secret character- in Hell’s Kitchen.

To be more precise, Baiken appeared on the Russian version of Hell’s Kitchen, where one of the challenges for contestants was to maintain their cooking composure in the presence of two sexy cosplayers.

Footage from the episode was posted to the Guilty Gear subreddit, as fans discussed if the episode was real or just a photoshop.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

It should be noted that this wasn’t some sort of cross promotional program for Guilty Gear- fans were quick to point out the various inconsistencies with the Baiken cosplay, such as an irregular number of arms and eyes.
Still, good on the production crew for having good tastes in choosing characters to cosplay since it would have been easy to just throw in a Chun Li and call it a day .
The cameo follows discussions on what fans described as an increasingly sexualized design for Baiken, as each new design for her sports more and more prominent breasts.
Funnily enough the cosplayer in the photo is cosplaying the original Baiken design from Guilty Gear XX, albeit a little sexed up for the TV program.
This also marks the second time in recent months old footage of Guilty Gear on TV has surfaced, after that other time Bill Clinton put the game on blast for being too violent.

Pre-registration for Dragon & Colonies opens

Nearly two years after it was first announced, Dragon & Colonies has finally opened for pre-registration for the Android and iOS platforms. The game, in case you do not remember, is developed by Level-5 Comcept, formerly known as Comcept Inc. If that name sounds familiar, that is because the studio was founded by Inafune Keiji.

Set on a cubic planet, the game will have players build their very own cubic kingdom to battle against other players with similar domains.

The game has a rather unique way of generating the battlefield in which the fight takes place in. Cubes from both factions will collide to form a unique layout. Surfaces can be deployed with weapons and units which can be switched in real time. There are a total of three classes, each with their very own strengths and weaknesses. If this seemingly unique strategy games sounds interesting to you, be sure to sign up for the usual early bird rewards.

Square Enix expects another major game release this year

Square Enix has recently released their quarterly finance report and received some questions from investors. The publisher behind Kingdom Hearts III has indicated that there will be major plans for this year and the next.

Although they refused to go into details, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda has asked people to look forward to E3. There is an expectation of extremely high revenue income in the third quarter of the year. However, when asked about why they are expecting such fortune during that period, Matsuda would not answer.

It is difficult to predict about what is going to be that major release as there are currently very few options. One interesting possibility could be an Avengers project. Avengers: Endgame’s release in April makes it two Avengers films in two years and we could expect no Avengers film at all, at least in the next two years. Another option could be a Final Fantasy VII remake.

In the same report, it stated that sales of both Just Cause 4 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider did not meet expectations. Now we know for sure that the big title will have nothing to do with either of those series. As of now, we really do not know for sure.

                    Kasane Randall

                    Yuito Sumeragi

Combination of Psychokinesis and Weapons

Fight with a combination of weapons in hands, and Psychokinesis attacks. The more combinations you make, the more powerful your Psychokinesis attacks become, and the more damage you can inflict on the enemy.

Manipulate objects with Psychokinesis

With psycho-kinetic abilities, the world itself is your weapon. Lift, break and throw pieces of your environment to build your attack combos and lay waste to your enemies.

Struggle Arms System, also known as SAS

A system that allows you to temporarily borrow the psychic abilities of your party members by connecting your brain to theirs via a virtual cable.

DRIVE System

By attacking or destroying enemies, your concentration increases, and you will enter a state of brain drive. In this state, your attack speed and movement speed will increase, the Psychokinesis power will increase, the time it takes to use it will decrease, and you will be able to fight more rapidly.

– Brain Field –

Forbidden power comes with a price
The power of the brain to affect the outside world is increased to the utmost limit, and a special space is developed in which the user’s psychic ability is most advantageous. While the brain field is activated, the user cannot attack with weapons, but can use powerful psychokinetic attacks without limit. On the other hand, because it draws out power beyond the limit, it places a heavy burden on the user, so there is a great risk involved in continuing to use it.

Bond System

Interaction with characters
Brain messages, which can be exchanged with the brain like e-mail, and conversations in the hideout, will generate episodes for each character. Each character will have their own episode. By completing these episodes, a bond is formed.

By interacting with individual characters, the bond value will increase. The bond level increases when the bond value exceeds a certain level, and the SAS connection abilities will be enhanced, supporting the player in various ways in battle.

Gifting
You can also increase your bond value by gifting items that are available during gameplay. Give items that match your character’s preferences.

The gifts you give will decorate the character’s personal space, making the interior of your hideout even more impressive!

SCARLET NEXUS Opening Animation revealed

In collaboration with SUNRISE and ORAL CIGARETTES, SCARLET NEXUS opening movie has also been revealed.

Soon, you’ll be able put these game systems to the test in Scarlet Nexus, a title based on the concept of the “red string” and “connection”, incorporated with fast-paced rock rhythm.

ASUS ROG Strix Hero II Review – a powerful and stylish machine for your MOBA gaming needs

As a gamer on PC (laptop), we are always looking for a machine that is superior inside yet looks gorgeous outside (so we can show off to our friends, right?). We are lucky to be able to get our hands on the new ASUS ROG Strix Hero II, and when we first saw the machine, we knew this could be the best one we are looking for. Check out our ASUS ROG Strix Hero II Review below to know how does it catch our hearts!

*Photos taken with Sony α5100

 Design and Display
Strix Hero II is featuring 2 contrasting brushed finishes across its lid, as well as a metallic Mystic Black finish with red coloured vents on its rear. While on the near keyboard area, it is a smudge-proof surface with two-way brushed finishes and some Cyberpunk-inspired markings on it.

Featuring a 144Hz super-narrow-bezel display, Strix Hero II comes in a more compact body which it is 2.33 cm narrower compared to its predecessor, the Strix Hero Edition. The display is having a 3ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time that minimizes ghosting and motion blur for clearer visuals. It is super lightweight with an overall weight of just 2.4 kg too, allowing you to bring it around easily.
A gaming laptop doesn’t look like a gaming laptop if it doesn’t come with some RGB lightings, and this is where Strix Hero II truly stand out from the others. We had the usual RGB backlit on the keyboard and a glowing ROG logo on the lid of Strix Hero Edition, but Strix Hero II just got better at it with its Aura lighting effects.

This time, the ROG logo on the lid, the keyboard area, and the front light bar are all synced to Aura lighting. Of course, you can customize the Aura lighting via the ROG Gaming Center software, there is even a music mode where the light would change following the music beats. I would love to watch the lighting changes with the music beats all day long!
Specially designed for MOBA players, the machine has its QWER keys highlighted with transparent key caps and 4 hotkeys. It also features 0.25 mm-deep keycap curves for more comfortable typing. The keyboard comes with ROG Overstroke technology, anti-ghosting and N-key rollover too, which enables you to enjoy accurate gaming effortlessly.

Specifications

Model Name: GL504GM
Size: 36.1 x 26.2 x 2.61 cm
Weight: 2.4kg
CPU: Intel Core i7-8570H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
Display: 15.6-inch FHD IPS panel
Refresh Rate: 144Hz
Memory: 8 GB DDR4
OS: Windows 10

Benchmark

UserBenchmark

Strix Hero II got a decent result at 61% for gaming section, it could handle the majority of the recent games at high resolutions and ultra details levels. Although 8GB RAM is enough for gaming, you can still upgrade the RAM if you want to. Of course, handling everyday tasks such as web browsing and playing video is totally not a problem.

PC Mark 10

In the PC Mark 10 test, Strix Hero II got an impressive overall score of 4559. It scores 6904 on the essential section, while for the score on photo editing, it got a pretty result of 6620. The machine might lack in video editing as it only gets a score of 3502, but it could still handle rendering and visualization perfectly with the score of 7105.

3D Mark

On 3D Mark’s Time Spy test, the machine got an overall score of 3801 – 3679 for graphics score and 4686 for CPU score. It manages to get 20 to 24 FPS on both graphics test (a huge improvement, as the first generation only gets 10 to 12 FPS), while on CPU test it manages to get a result of about 16 FPS. In short, the machine is capable of running high-graphics video games and MOBA games seamlessly.
Gaming Performance
We tested quite a few MOBA games including League of Legends, Battlerite, Smite and DOTA 2 on ROG Strix Hero II, so far all the games run smoothly under the highest graphics option. We could even get over 100 FPS when playing League of Legends! While for Smite, Battlerite and DOTA 2, we get a steady FPS of around 60.

Other than MOBA games, we also tried out RPGs like Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and World of Warcraft. The visuals are beautifully presented on the 15.6-inch FHD display. Also, Strix Hero II‘s side-firing speakers are clear and loud, which makes you immerse in the gaming world even more.
Conclusion
Compared to the first generation (Strix Hero Edition), ASUS ROG Strix Hero II has improved a lot, especially on the gaming performance. Although the machine has put its focus on MOBA gaming, it still features an impressive 144Hz refresh rate that provides an enjoyable gaming experience to its users. The design is now more attractive with its Aura sync technology too.

With its powerful specs that could run most of the recent games perfectly, it is a waste to just play MOBA games on it. ASUS ROG Strix Hero II Edition is now available at RM6299 (about USD 1553), you can visit the official site for more information.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 2022 – Touched up for the new year

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

The ROG Zephyrus M16 for 2022 has not changed too much from its 2021 edition, besides accordingly updating to a 12th Gen Intel Core Processor and the newer series of RTX 30 GPUs. Proudly calling itself the world’s first gaming laptop with 4-sided, Super-Narrow Bezels, what else does this laptop have for us?

DESIGN
The Zephyrus series has typically kept to its more low profile style, and it’s the same with the latest iteration of the Zephyrus M16. The RGB elements are kept to a minimum save for the keyboard, making it more subtle and more suited for a professional environment, or simply not wanting to attract too much attention.

The lid is divided by a diagonal line, the upper part bearing the dot matrix design coated in a prismatic film for a rainbow sheen. This also allows for minute colour changes depending on which angle you’re looking at it from. The branding is discreetly on the bottom left for an overall clean design. Simplicity can truly never get old.

The whole package is 1.99cm thick, weighing in at 2.0kg. The 180 degree Ergolift hinge raises the laptop to allow for more airflow and improving cooling performance.
HARDWARE
Connectivity wise, it’s a pretty standard selection:

1x 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack
1x HDMI 2.0b
2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort™ / power delivery
1x RJ45 LAN port
1x Thunderbolt™ 4 support DisplayPort™ / power delivery
1 x card reader (microSD) (UHS-II)

There’s support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, so apart from the HDMI being preferably 2.1 instead, it’s pretty satisfactory. You can have up to 2TB of PCIe 2.0 SSD storage, so just chuck everything on this one machine and it’ll be fine.
For visuals, you get a 2K 165Hz, 16:10 3ms IPS screen, with a 94% screen to body ratio. Additionally, its DCI-P3 colour range and Pantone validation, on top of ROG Nebula and Dolby Vision HDR, that’s one screen you can expect some of the most dazzling images possible. That experience is further enhanced with the 6 immersive speakers, dual noise-cancelling woofers and Dolby Atmos, allowing the Zephyrus M16’s audio performance far exceed most typical laptops.

MUX switches are finally available, while the keyboard itself is a Stealth-type with 1.7mm travel distance. The keycaps are bigger as there’s no numpad, which isn’t much of a gripe. The touchpad has increased 20% in size, with smooth controls and even better precision, definitely much appreciated.
PERFORMANCE
The previously mentioned Ergolift hinge adds to the cooling efficiency provided by the 6 heatpipes and liquid metal used for this laptop. However, Turbo mode does unfortunately make the fan go quite loud when you’re settling in for a gaming session, which is fairly typical for most gaming laptops. Fortunately, outside of that, the laptop is pretty silent. Overall, thermals are respectable.
Thanks to the 90Whr battery, non-gaming use will offer up to 6 to 7 hours of battery life. A 240W AC Adapter and 100W PD Charger are provided in the box, for options should you need to be more mobile. If necessary, the Type-C port will let you charge your laptop with a powerbank.
Numbers wise:
3D MARK:10,649

PCMARK 10: 7,293

If you somehow had any doubt of its performance due to a lighter-weight design, put those aside; this is still a definite powerhouse.
As for gaming, as powerful as it is, 2K 60 FPS isn’t guaranteed if you’ve maxed out All settings. DLSS with medium and/or high should be more than enough.
ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA: 63 FPS (All Max)

GOD OF WAR: 53 FPS (All Max)

DYING LIGHT 2: ~40 FPS (All Max), ~50FPS (All Max, DLSS Performance)

Ryoseibai! Jet Nurse now available for download

Japan-based game developer Silicon Studio has just launched its latest RPG title Ryoseibai! Jet Nurse, which can now be downloaded for Android and iOS.

So a little backstory first; A new virus named Mute is threatening humanity, turning people into indescribable monstrosities. Thankfully, these individuals can be treated, although the process has to be done fast, lest the effects become permanent. The task falls on nurses riding rockets, otherwise known as Jet Nurses, to save humanity.

The game is fairly whimsical in nature and the story merely serves to provide some context as to what you will be doing. Being an RPG, you will be assembling a team of said nurses to cure the infected, which you must first defeat in combat.
If you still cannot make heads and tails from what you just read, just drop by the official site for more details.
