Gearbox Software regularly shares SHiFT codes with players to help them get extra items in the Borderlands games. Since the release of Borderlands 4 in September, they’ve been providing these codes consistently. Players can use them to get Golden Keys – which unlock special chests – and unique cosmetic items. As a holiday treat, Gearbox has recently released another set of codes for the community.
Achievements have been a part of World of Warcraft since the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, giving players ongoing challenges to pursue. You can earn them by doing almost anything in the game, from discovering new areas and finding hidden treasures to completing difficult raids and Mythic+ dungeons.
Attacking a Rocketeer with snowballs might seem risky, but it’s surprisingly manageable. These enemies are dangerous – a single mistake could knock you unconscious. However, if you approach it strategically, you can actually use this encounter to earn rank points in ARC Raiders. Here’s a guide on how to do it.
![The study of the [latex]\mathbb{Z}_N[/latex] toric code under XX-type dephasing reveals a nuanced relationship between code size and quantum information protection, demonstrating that while codes with [latex]N \leq 4[/latex] exhibit a clear transition from fully decodable to completely lost information, larger codes ([latex]N > 4[/latex]) possess an intermediate quasi-long-range order (QLRO) phase where a finite, yet diminishing, fraction of logical information remains protected-a fraction that expands with increasing code size-and critical temperatures consistently approximate 0.38, aligning with self-dual identities.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.22121v1/x5.png)
New research reveals a distinct phase in decohering quantum codes where information isn’t simply lost, but enters a critical state characterized by limited retrievability.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was a major release for the Avatar franchise, taking place on the vibrant world of Pandora. Players can immerse themselves in the Avatar universe, using both human and Na’vi weaponry to battle the RDA. While the game initially received mixed reviews – praised for its beautiful world and engaging combat, but criticized for overusing the Na’vi Vision feature during exploration and puzzles – a recent update and the release of a new movie seem to be boosting its popularity.
Despite the feeling that everything in gaming has been done before, new titles constantly emerge that redefine what’s possible. These games create rich, detailed worlds with compelling stories that immediately feel new and visually impressive. We’re exploring the most innovative and expansive video game worlds of the last ten years. You’ll find a fantastic variety below, spanning grim fantasy landscapes, realistic modern cities, and surprisingly deep futuristic wastelands.
Kaido is widely considered one of the strongest characters in the world of One Piece. As captain of the Beast Pirates, he was formally introduced after the time skip and quickly established himself as one of the Four Emperors. Kaido’s immense power and ruthless nature led to a bounty exceeding 4.6 billion berries, demonstrating just how formidable he was.
О, the enigmatic Cardano! Since the December 25 low, it has ascended by a mere 13%, yet now it teeters on the edge of a breakout, ensnared within a falling wedge. A mere 10% decline this month-how quaint! But this week, dear reader, is no mere flicker of hope, but a tempest of possibilities. 🌪️
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were a critical turning point for the franchise. While the games were ambitious, expansive, and highly anticipated, many fans were disappointed with their performance. A major factor was that almost all of the game’s features and the complete Pokédex were revealed before release, thanks to the ease of accessing data on the Nintendo Switch. The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is different, so leaks for the next generation of Pokémon (Gen 10) will likely be limited to any leftover data from previous games – known as ‘Teraleaks’ – possibly appearing in 2026, if they happen at all.
New research demonstrates how leveraging fundamental symmetries can significantly improve the resilience of quantum codes against realistic noise.
