[Please refer to previous patch notes for details]

▼Known Bugs

After the v0.2.0.6 update, it has been reported that there is an issue where eggs cannot be placed inside the incubator. We apologize for this inconvenience. The problem can be resolved by rebuilding the incubator. We plan to fix this in the next few days.

The complete patch notes for Palworld Xbox v0.2.0.6 are below:

Update v0.2.0.6: Raid Boss “Bellanoir”!

New content, improved building and more!

Steam version v0.2.0.6 has been released.

▼New Content

Implemented the first Raid Boss

You can summon Raid Boss Pals by using slabs at the new Summoning Altar

Raid Boss Pals summoned by slabs are very powerful and can not be captured. Work alongside your base Pals to take on these powerful foes.

Pals Eggs can drop after defeating Raid Boss Pals.

The "extreme" version of the Raid Boss is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat

New "Training Manual" items have been added. These manuals allow you to give experience points to Pals.

New item "Ancient Technical Manual" has been added. This manual gives you ancient technology points and can be randomly found inside dungeon chests.

New "Recovery Meds" items have been added. Using these meds will slowly recover your HP over time.

New item "Homeward Thundercloud" has been added. When used, this item will instantly move you to your nearest base.

New item "Ability Glasses" has been added. When equipped, you can see Pal's stats.

New stat boosting items have been added: "Power Fruit, Life Fruit, Stout Fruit". These items will boost Pal's stats when used.

Added a new passive "Mercy Hit". Pals with this passive cannot reduce enemy HP below 1 when attacking.

New item "Ring of Mercy" has been added. When wearing this ring, you cannot reduce enemy HP below 1 when attacking.

New armour "Multiclimate Undershirt" has been added. Protect yourself against both the heat and the cold with just one slot!

New building "Electric Egg Incubator" has been added. This incubator consumes electricity to automatically adjust the temperature to the optimum temperature for each egg.

New building "Ore Mining Site" has been added. This mining site allows you to produce ores from the comfort of your base!

▼Pals

Dumud can now produce High-Quality Pal Oil at the ranch

The tutorial has been improved and renamed to "Journey"

You can now show/hide the "Journey" in the game options

Damage number display size can be changed in the game options.

(In Raid Boss battles, the damage numbers tend to overlap a lot and it may be difficult to see, so we recommend adjusting the size)

▼Player

Items dropped by players after death on a dedicated server can now be picked up by anyone after 24 hours of real-time have passed

Added a new "sleeping" player emote (edited)

▼Base Related

You can now allow/disallow certain work for base Pals at the Monitoring Stand

Chest filters have been added. Select item types to allow or disallow inside chests

Crafted items are now transported from crafting facilities. Selecting "allow transport" when crafting will result in Pals transporting those items to chests when finished

Building and building piece placement rules have been relaxed

You can now connect stairs facing upwards

Roof pieces can now directly connect to foundations

Triangular walls can now be connected to stairs

You can now force a Pal to work and cancel their break by picking them up and throwing them towards a facility

(Pals recover their SAN while taking a break, so be careful!)

Fixed assignments remain fixed, even after bad events occur. Previously, some assignments would change due to certain conditions, but now they will remain fixed unless the Pal is placed inside the Pal Box

▼Balance Adjustment

Minimum heat and cold resistance have been added to various armour. You will no longer need to take off your heat-resistance armour when it is cold at night in the starting areas!

Guy Ignores Eclipse in Favor of Destroying Vision by Looking at Screens 16 Hours a Day

Posted on April 8, 2024 by Kelley Greene

CLEVELAND – After learning that looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse could blind him, Tyler Dennison made a conscious decision to skip viewing it and instead destroy his vision by looking at screens for 16 hours a day, sources confirmed.

“I’ve been hearing about this eclipse coming and everyone’s so excited to see it, but apparently you can’t even look at the stupid thing without going blind,” Dennison said. “What’s the point in some event happening that you can’t even look at? If I’m going to ruin my vision, it might as well be doing something that I love – like playing DayZ alone in the dark or scrolling mindlessly on my phone in bed in dim lighting with the screen brightness turned all the way down.”

“Besides, I have work to do,” Dennison continued. “And once I finish work, I need to decompress, which means either playing Vampire Survivors for 12 hours, watching TikToks until I see at least three ‘you’ve been scrolling for way too long’ videos, or binging The Office for the 9th time. Then I keep doing one of those three things until I’m mentally and physically exhausted enough to sleep, and wake up the next day and do it all over again. But at least I can look directly at all of those things. Plus, I don’t have to go outside.”

Rachel Tester, Dennison’s girlfriend, was disappointed but understood his feelings on the matter.

“It’s a bummer Tyler doesn’t want to come out, because it’s a pretty rare opportunity to see something like this where we live. But to be fair, it’s also not a bad day to sit in front of the television with your phone in your hand and force your eyes to alternate back and forth between reading something close up and then far away. Personally, I can’t wait to see the eclipse, and then spend the rest of the afternoon looking at other people’s photos of what I just witnessed in real life on Instagram.”

Optometrist Dr. Karen Wen recommended exercising precautions in both scenarios.

“I’m desperate for my patients to stop looking at screens all day, but not desperate enough to encourage them to go outside and look directly at the sun during an eclipse,” Wen said. “There are plenty of safe ways to view the eclipse and to rest your eyes throughout the day. But honestly? I don’t even know why I’m telling you this – it’s not like anyone listens to me anyway. Get some rewetting drops and leave me out of it.”

At press time, Dennison was seen opening his blinds during the four-minute duration of totality as it was dark enough outside for him to comfortably watch TV while keeping an eye on his computer.

Forza Motorsport Update 7 Patch Notes Apr 8

Posted on April 8, 2024 by Michelle Pereira

Update 7 for Forza Motorsport sees the final three cars for the Car Pass released, over the course of two weeks between April 10, 2024, and April 24. Space optimization will also reduce the installation size of the game by 25 GB on console, and 29 GB on PC.

The addition of a new track (Brands Hatch: Grand Prix and Indy Circuits) as well as several Spotlight and Reward cars, rounds out the content portion of the update.

The remainder of the patch contends with bug fixes for stability and performance, balance adjustments, and enhancements to the Livery Editor.

Forza Motorsport Update 7.1 Patch Notes Apr 19

The complete patch notes for Forza Motorsport’s Update 7 on April 8 are below:

Forza Motorsport Update 7.0 Release Notes – April 8, 2024

Update 7 reduces the installation footprint of Forza Motorsport by around 15-20%, decreasing its file size by 25GB on Xbox Series X|S and 29GB on PC. To accommodate this optimization, today’s update will be slightly larger than usual at 15GB.

Update 7 also introduces Brands Hatch and the Retro Racers Tour to the game alongside new experience improvements, including changes to Forza Race Regulations and Proximity Arrows, as well as fixes to Multiplayer, the Livery Editor, screen narration, and the Le Mans track.

A note on Forza Race Regulations: In update 6 we made two specific changes to the FRR model. The first change was to add more examples of sideswipe collisions to the model’s training data. The second was to reduce false negatives and ensure we assign penalties to players who should have received them but weren’t. This second change had the unintended consequence of also increasing false positives by a much larger margin than anticipated, meaning, it assigned penalties to players who should not have received them. In Update 7 we have adjusted the weighting so that we expect to see false positives reduce and added more examples of sideswipes to our training data to continue to adjust the model.

Update 7 will be live in the game for 5 weeks before Update 8 is released in mid-May.

Below is a summary of new content and features, as well as items fixed or improved in Update 7:

Version Number:

```
Xbox Series X|S: 1.565.7629.0
```
```
PC (Microsoft Store): 1.565.7629.0

Game Publishers Quietly Biding Time Until Pay-to-Win Micro-Transactions Become Source of Nostalgia

Posted on April 8, 2024 by Alec Walker

Game publishers’ initial attempt at flooding the industry with in-game purchases that drain your bank account was just the first part of a long-term game to ruin your life, multiple sources confirmed.

“It was obvious everyone was gonna hate them, but we knew we just had to weather the initial storm,” said Bobby Kotick, former C.E.O. and rightful heir to Satan’s throne. “We saw how much money the film industry rakes in from trash remakes that sad people feel obligated to see out of nostalgia, so why couldn’t we do the same with loot boxes? Our ultimate goal is to make fashionable the idea of being dirt poor and depressed like the street vermin you are, but still buying loot boxes. Oh, and make games too, I guess.”

Greg McCoy, a gamer who was 12 during the age of omnipresent loot boxes, resists his temptations.

“Now that I have a job, what harm would it do to bring loot boxes back?” said McCoy, while panic-opening the Fortnite store to stave off the shakes. “I fell in love with gaming when all those flashing lights flared up onto the screen. I don’t even remember what game it was, but it was so entrancing. I even considered going to college for game design to one day be like my favorite blood-sucking publisher idols, but decided against it when I realized most of game design is designing the game. Ew.”

Casino owner Dakota Benally was impressed by the publishers’ depravity.

“We scam whites because they ruined our civilization and stole our land. These guys just do it because they’re… bored? Truly diabolical,” said Benally. “Be careful, gamers. If a publisher tells you to hand over your credit card info for in-game glass beads, consider not doing it.”

At press time, Kotick was seen posting “OMG loot boxes were so lit back in the day, right guys??” on his burner Twitter account GamerNostalgia.

20 Most Annoying Video Game Sidekicks and Useless NPCs Who Need Escorting

Posted on April 8, 2024 by Matt Youngspruce

Ahh, lovely day for a video game. You start a mission, ready to go to war all by yourself and save the universe. But wait, here comes a truly annoying character that you are doomed to play the best chapters of the game with. Like you don’t know how to use a shotgun yourself?

You feel like a small child when this NPC guides you through the game. Even worse, sometimes you escort the dumb NPC to their own death aka. mission failure. This is what I spent $70 on?

Sidekicks in video games are like co-workers on a cruise with you. You hate every one of them but guess what? If you want to keep your job, you have to smile through every boss joke, every time Gary orders another drink, etc. Smile away while you rot in hell. The hell of being surrounded by total virtual incompetence.

20) Tails

That orange mutant hyena is supposed to help me? OK, I understand that this game is basically for kids. It’s not like you get to shoot anyone. But seriously? This is it? You have to live with this thing the whole game?

I am the fastest hedgehog that ever lived and now I’m stuck with this creep? No wonder Sega consoles did not make it in the long run.

19) Lance

Remember that moment when Lance’s AI is so botched that you fail your mission because of his poor “decisions?” It’s like you wished for the “last dance for Lance Vance” to start right there the first moment you meet this character. You are after all the baddest guy in Vice City so why you would hang around with other fools is beyond me.

18) Garrus

Imagine going anywhere with someone who looks like this by your side.

17) Cortana

Christ, where to start with this one. You think ChatGPT is stupid? Well, take a look at this sentient moron. Imagine you are inside a perfect game, with perfect weapons, and amazing maps. Then all the sudden this voice comes out, a voice that will follow you through the whole game. Your own name becomes a joke. Master Chief is now called Slave Worker.

You basically have to play Halo Combat Evolved on mute. It’s just so horrible to listen to that jabbering about “the covenant” all day long. Leave me alone for Chief’s sake! I just want to shoot the aliens. Is that too much to ask? “I think we both know the answer to that.” Yeah I bet you do, you artificial dumb dumb.

16) Every Character From Final Fantasy

Basically all the Final Fantasy games suffer from the same thing: You are an idiot and you have to escort other idiots. It becomes like the main thing in this game series that you don’t even recognize your own idiocy anymore. The game is entirely made out of pointless sidekick characters that really take the steam out of “saving the world” or wherever these useless nitwits live.

15) Alyx

In the “masterpiece” known as Half-Life 2, Alyx Vance (related to Lance Vance?) is supposed to be your helping hand while you crawl through the dystopian future of Half-Life. Your name is Gordon FREEman but you can’t even take one step without Alyx breathing down your neck, sad really. What’s even worse is that they made a totally unplayable game called Alyx where you play as the sidekick. Talk about twisting the knife.

14) Drunk Bass Player

Escorting a drunk bass player home from rehearsals is one of the most challenging escort missions one can take. Not because it is extremely difficult, no, it’s just extremely annoying.

First you have to survive by listening to his bullshit hype about how “Our band is going to be the best band ever and we are going to play at Madison Square Garden”. That is clearly nonsense because you are an Imagine Dragons tribute band in Bulgaria. Next you have to listen to him complaining about his only relationship he had like 5 years ago. Third, when you finally get him close to home, he gets stuck in a street corner, vomits and passes out. Restart mission.

13) Yoshi

You thought there would never ever come a more annoying sidekick than Luigi? Well here comes a horse dragon lizard? Whatever that is. Why? No one knows. All I know is life is hell and you have to live everyday.

I say stop playing Nintendo and start playing real games with no sidekicks. How about playing the game of life where you live isolated in a cabin for 20 years without electricity? That will teach you a thing or two about plumbing, and you know what? You don’t need a horse dragon lizard to help you with that job.

12) Ashley

You know what, today I am going to play the original Resident Evil 4. That game rules! Oh look, it’s a dumpster! No wait what’s that, another sidekick. No, it’s the President’s daughter.

The whole game you are in this beautiful zombie infested village where you could actually start a pretty decent life, but surprise surprise you have to save The President’s daughter and when you do find her, you hide her in a dumpster for her own safety. If I was the President’s daughter, I would not get kidnapped in the first place. I would snort cocaine and play walking simulators. ALONE.

11) Wheatly

Here’s a puzzle for you. It is on the side and it kicks. The answer is: yet another sidekick! This time around it’s a talking ball, robot, thing, hoax. This sidekick is basically 1 hour of design work and a game full of annoyance. Just goes to show that the developers really hate gamers, and no it does not help at all that the voice is Stephen Merchant.

10) Satan

Hail Satan! Then again don’t. What if… just what if… Doom was a walking simulator where you could just walk around in Hell and Mars and all the other weird places and just ponder the existence of life itself? No Satan around, no hellish army of satanic bastards anywhere. Just you, shotgun, and the loneliness of hell. With that kind of peace of mind you could become god yourself.

The developers thought otherwise. Satan is everywhere. Always lurking, always watching. It’s a game about shooting your sidekick infinite times. They should call it “Shoot A Sidekick”.

9) Trevor

GTA V has three sidekicks and you can play them all. The worst one is a character called “Trevor”. He is supposed to be this funny sidekick with his drinking problem and anger management issues. In the end he is just a sad man. I don’t think any reasonable human would enjoy playing this vulgar man.

I hate it when they make realistic games like GTA where you just want to put the controller down because it’s all just too real. I’ve met hundreds of “Trevors” in my life and I can tell you there is nothing funny about a man with a drinking problem. It is just sad. I hope GTA VI won’t make the same mistakes. I’ve had it with sex, drugs and violence!

8) Teammates In Every Battlefield

Ok you are in a war setting, it’s a matter of life and death and here comes this rookie who just gave away your spot and you’re killed immediately. You could have been able to win the whole war by yourself. You wanna know how? Easy, just find “Hitler” and kill him. But hey everybody, it’s a group effort from now on! Group effort for suicide! Thanks.

7) David Mills

Let’s face it. Detective William Somerset hates Mills so bad that he orchestrated the whole thing. And who wouldn’t? You are about to retire and they give you a sidekick for seven days. Some young dude with no experience and clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed. What’s inside the box? Disappointment. Not really, it’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s head .

6) Lars Ulrich

You thought his drumming was bad while watching it live? Well try to play with him. One of the worst npc escort missions there is. You start with a bad ass riff and behold here comes a drum fill that makes absolutely no sense! Sadly this game would have been so much better if they would just “And Justice For All” Ulrich out of this.

5) Elizabeth

Another “first person” shooter where you have to interact with other people. Like why do they even call it a “first person” shooter in the first place? Sure you’re the first person, but there’s always a second person and a third person and a fourth person. AND THEY ALL SUCK!

Check out this beautiful city in the sky and explore it. Nope. Here it comes again. You have to rescue someone from this place and listen to their “interesting” notes on the current state of the game’s universe. This time it’s Elizabeth. It could have been Friedrich Nietzsche or Margaret Atwood but no it’s just another npc with horrible social skills.

4) Ellie

It’s quite obvious that Joel was the sidekick in the first game. Then the sidekick got a kick in the head and here comes another one. Ellie. Oh boy, this character ruled in Last Of Us 1. Like RULED. Well not in the tv-series but in the game.

But now in the sequel, sorry Ellie… Abby is clearly the main character. If only you could play this game with only Abby doing her Abby things in the Abby world. I wish in the third part they would kick the “now turned into mindless npc” Ellie out. Abby is the main character of the whole series. Abby is the cure. ABBY IS THE CURE.

And that awkward guitar playing. Why?

3) Bridge Baby

Wow cool you get to play as Daryl Dixon in a beautiful sci-fi setting. But no, you have to carry a baby around. Like everywhere. What the hell is the point of this game? Why do I need to carry a baby around? WHY? I am Daryl Dixon, I am here to kill zombies.

2) Survivors

Talking about zombies. Every npc you have to save in this Dead Rising is a brain dead zombie, you can’t even tell the difference! Another game ruined by sidekicks and mindless npcs. I hate this world.

1) Oxygen

Hey man, take a breath! No I won’t! You know the most annoying sidekick there is? It’s from a game called “life” and you have to breathe it. That’s right it’s called “O”, which stands for OBNOXIOUS. You can’t go anywhere without it! And here is the best part:

If you stop breathing it. You die! Like what the hell? Who made up some stupid garbagelike that? I am perfectly fine just floating in space where nobody can hear me scream.

Finding Like-Minded Community Online Worst Thing That Could Have Happened to Man

Posted on April 8, 2024 by Hard Drive Reporter

WORLD WIDE WEB – Sean Jefferys, 21, has found a flourishing online community of like-minded individuals ready to support him, which will reportedly prove to be the single most devastating thing that could have happened to him and his odds of living a healthy life full of love and happiness.

The community, called Gamers4Truth, reportedly provides great comfort and support to young men who were exposed to what they considered dangerously high levels of woke Community Managers. Jefferys, who has had many worried family members reach out after seeing his recent social media posts, goes to the group for support often.

“Forget them,” one comment reads on Jeffery’s most recent post about his father texting to see if everything was alright. “Your family is filled to the brim with DEI. They chose not to cater to real gamers and can’t be saved. Why bother? We will win.”

Friends and family say the community support has seemingly empowered Jefferys to bring culture war topics into even the most sensitive conversations, including a family group chat announcement about the passing of a loved one.

“Grandma went woke,” Jefferys reportedly replied to his mother’s family group chat message. “Is it any surprise now she’s broke? RIP.”

Nancy Jefferys, Sean’s mother, expressed hope that her son was like many others his age, noting she’d seen charts online showing generational trends which matched up to his actions.

“His Twitter is all cartoons of women,” Nancy said. “But when I ask him about any girlfriends he goes silent. Actually, he also freezes. He goes silent and freezes.”

“That’s normal right?” Nancy added, looking for some comfort. “College is a lot different now. A lot of boys his age are like this. 60 Minutes said it’s called incelibates.”

Experts say the loving support of objectively wrong online communities has wreaked havoc on society’s ability to find common ground in the town square.

“We see a lot of this with young men in Mr. Jefferys’ age group,” Dr. Francis Singh, head of Stanford’s psychology department, who recently published a paper about the importance of not isolating oneself into online echo chambers, said. “Everyone on my doctor subreddit always tears into these little freaks. We’re so smart and rich compared to everyone else it’s crazy – wanna see a picture of my boat? It’s a pretty rare one.”
