Hytale Already Has Me Missing Minecraft’s Most Iconic Block

by

It’s hard to talk about Hytale without mentioning Minecraft, considering the developers at Hypixel Studios originally became known for making Minecraft modifications. While Hytale still uses the basic gameplay style of Minecraft, it simplifies some things – like crafting, where you don’t need to worry about precise patterns on a crafting table. Hytale does a great job making crafting feel smooth, but I think its ore smelting feels less refined than Minecraft’s system, which has been well-established for over 15 years.

How To Unlock Parry in Code Vein 2 Parry Ability, Explained

by

In Code Vein 2, parrying isn’t available right away. It’s tied to a shield you can find early on, but unlocking the parry ability itself requires a specific, and somewhat hidden, action.

by

Initially, the odds favored Kevin Hassett, a man whose economic views align with Trump’s like a well-tailored Savile Row suit. But, as is the wont of this administration, the winds have shifted, and now the bookies are laying their money on BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer, Rick Rieder, a man whose name sounds more like a minor character in a P.G. Wodehouse novel than a potential Fed Chair.

WWE 2K26 Teaser Spells Randy Orton’s Name Wrong

by

The disappointing launch of WWE 2K20 caused problems for 2K, leading them to skip WWE 2K21 to improve the series. Thankfully, WWE 2K22 marked a return to form, and the issues with the 2019 game are now largely forgotten. WWE 2K26 aims to keep that positive trend going with further gameplay improvements and a current roster of 32 WWE stars, with more additions expected before the game is released.

The Great Crypto Panic: A Whale’s Tale of Loss, Insider Secrets, and Confusing Moves

by

Details, as relayed by the all-knowing oracle of onchain data, Lookonchain, tell us that our “insider” hero closed a staggering 427.29 BTC worth $37.5 million and a mere 30,588 ETH valued at $88.63 million.
