Happy Friday! With October winding down, let’s keep the winning streak going. I hope you’re scoring as well as I am on today’s NYT Connections! Share your progress below – I’d love to hear how you’re doing with the hints.
For over a decade, the Hyrule Warriors games have successfully blended the beloved world of The Legend of Zelda with the fast-paced action of the Dynasty Warriors series. The previous game, Age of Calamity, retold the story of Breath of the Wild’s events leading up to the Great Calamity, focusing on the Guardians. Now, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, releasing November 6th, 2025, explores the origins of those Guardians – the ones seen in flashbacks during Tears of the Kingdom. A new trailer showcases the game’s story, its signature Musou combat, and introduces some new characters.
Okay, so this is wild! I just heard about a school in Japan that’s actually using the P.T. demo – you know, the one for the canceled Silent Hills game – as part of their lessons. It’s pretty crazy to think they’re using something designed to be scary as a teaching tool, but I’m really curious to see how it works!
Instead of selling unwanted items for credits in The Outer Worlds 2, it’s better to break them down. You’ll often get rare crafting materials this way, which are essential for making ammo, weapon upgrades, and other useful items you’ll need during your adventure.
Starting at level 2, you’ll earn a Perk Point every two levels. Once you’ve spent Perk Points, you can’t get them back or change your choices, so it’s important to plan carefully. This complete list details all the Perks available in The Outer Worlds 2 and what you need to unlock each one as you level up.
You can find Mag-Picks throughout the game world, usually inside buildings – look in containers, on shelves, or sometimes on the bodies of enemies. If you need them quickly, you can also buy them from vendors or vending machines for 150 credits.
Outer Worlds 2 features six main factions: the Earth Directorate (which your character starts with), the controlling Protectorate, the profit-driven Auntie’s Choice, the rebellious Sub Rosa, the logic-focused Order of the Ascendant, and the mysterious Rift Cult. This guide will show you how to join each of these groups, and give you a quick overview of what they’re all about.
In The Outer Worlds 2, you can choose from three graphics settings: Performance, Quality, and Balanced. Quality mode focuses on sharper visuals but might lower the game’s framerate. Performance mode aims for smooth gameplay with higher framerates. Balanced mode tries to offer a good mix of both visual fidelity and performance.
To find the Commander’s Safe, check behind the table and the Moon Man bobblehead. Even though you are the Commander, you’ll need a key to open it. This guide will show you how to get the Commander’s Safe Key in The Outer Worlds 2 and what rewards are inside.
You can get Advanced Decryption Keys by buying a limited number from vendors or finding them while exploring the game world. Usually, you’ll find them by searching buildings for locked chests and containers that require lockpicking, a keycard, or another way to bypass security.
