ARC Raiders Addresses Recent Nerf Backlash, Confirms IL Toro Adjustments in the Works

This month’s update for ARC Raiders included a new Map Condition, two new enemy types, bug fixes, and improvements to gameplay quality. Importantly, the update also adjusted the balance of the game, specifically weakening the Kettle, Stitcher, and Venator enemies. However, players were surprised to learn that crafting certain items like the Wolfpack and Deadline now requires additional materials – the Wolfpack needs a Rocketeer Driver, and the Deadline needs a Comet Igniter, which drops from the new enemy types. These changes upset many ARC Raiders players, and the developer, Embark Studios, has since released a statement addressing the concerns.

Heartopia Player Builds Bathhouse Inspired by Studio Ghibli

I’ve been really enjoying Heartopia lately, and it seems like a lot of other people are too! It’s only been out for about two months, but it’s already had a great start. They’ve gotten over a million downloads on mobile, and at one point, over 66,000 people were playing on Steam at the same time! There’s so much to do – you can level up your guild, help out the townspeople with their requests, and just generally build a life for yourself. One of my favorite parts is decorating my house! People are getting super creative with it – some are designing completely original things, while others are recreating famous scenes. I even saw someone who built their house to look exactly like a really iconic building from an anime – it was amazing!

Twitch is Making Even More Changes to How It Handles Bans and Suspensions

This change comes after a long period of growth for the platform and its users. The previous moderation system, where a single suspension meant complete loss of access – including watching streams or viewing account details – was becoming less effective. Many creators felt this was too harsh, as even a minor error could severely impact their business and income.
