The widely rumored Xbox Handheld will eventually become a PlayStation handheld after a brief period of exclusivity, sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.
Despite not yet being formally announced, inside sources claim that plans are already in place for the Xbox Handheld to eventually also be a PlayStation handheld.
“The idea right now is for the handheld to exclusively play Xbox games for about a year, maybe a little longer. After such time the device will then also be able to play PlayStation games,” said a Microsoft employee who wished to remain anonymous. “In this day and age, exclusivity doesn’t make sense for a handheld. Handheld players leave their homes frequently and exclusives are only really important for those who don’t.”
When asked about the handheld Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer couldn’t comment directly but did have this to say.
“Whether we may or may not be making a handheld I can’t say. What I can say is that Xbox is committed to all gamers regardless of which games you play or what devices you play on. We are so much more than just one device, we’re an ecosystem and we are committed to indoctrinating as many people as possible into that ecosystem. Whether you play our 3 games or PlayStation’s 5 games.”
Xbox fans were not pleased upon hearing the handheld will also eventually play PlayStation games.
“I was really looking forward to an Xbox handheld but not anymore,” said Xbox console war veteran Jim Stotch in a Reddit thread. “For this to play Xbox games and PlayStation games is a slap in the face to all the loyal Xbox fans who stuck with the brand through all the troubled times. I feel betrayed. This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.”
PlayStation fans aren’t thrilled either.
“It’s an insult for our beautiful, sexy games to be played on an Xbox device,” said PlayStation console war veteran Mark Pepper in a different Reddit thread. “I’ll stick with my Playstation Portal and remain in my mom’s house thank you very much”
At press time, gamers interested in a handheld that plays Xbox and PlayStation games have been buying Steam Decks.
Although there have been patches and hotfixes for Enshrouded over the last two odd months since its release, this March 26, 2024 update V0.7.1.0 is the first major release for the game. This marks the first step taken on the roadmap laid out earlier in the month.
The complete patch notes for the Hollow Halls update are below.
Enshrouded: Hollow Halls Update
This update name actually very hard to pronounce for us.
Greetings, Flameborn!
Our first update is finally here! Just a few weeks ago we were releasing our first roadmap, and now we’re already ticking a bunch of these boxes… As a team, it feels good! Our goal for each update is to include new content, new features, improvements to existing features, as well as the usual fixes and polish.
The biggest part of the update is undoubtedly the Hollow Halls. You can read more on them below, but a word of advice before you proceed: the encounters will test your mettle and we strongly recommend preparing well and bringing your best food items, as well as campfires to rest during your exploration. It is possible to run these as a solo player, but it might be a very challenging experience, and we recommend bringing some friends along. If you team up with strangers, remember that you can create a backup of your save files. Of course since we're in Early Access, we are very eager to hear your thoughts on the Hollow Halls. Do let us know what you think once you've given them a try!
And without further ado…
Enshrouded Patch Notes CHANGELOG FOR UPDATE #1- V 0.7.1.0
Version number: 510434
HIGHLIGHTS
Each biome has a new playable area called the “Hollow Halls”, with enemies and challenges corresponding to the level of the biome. These daunting new dungeons come with a multitude of new challenges and exciting rewards.
New quests leading through the new content. Talk to the Alchemist to get started.
New enemies await you in the depths.
A new survivor can be discovered in the Hollow Halls.
Unlock a new crafting station with new recipes.
New weapons, building blocks, furniture, decorative props and more can be found.
The 60hz issue has been solved, providing a smooth experience on higher framerates.
Emily the farmer now offers potted plants to everyone who wants to add that little extra bit of color to the porch. Make sure that the base has access to a kiln to craft those pots!
Cade the Carpenter now offers a new set of round doors and windows.
The seedbed workstation now allows growing additional tree seedlings. Many trees received new growing stages.
Player characters can now sit on furniture such as chairs, benches, thrones, toilets.
The town of Willow Crush in the Revelwoods has been completely reworked. and some other areas have been improved.
QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
Improved support for stack splitting in the backpack and chests. The size of the split stacks can now be selected freely.
Content of magical chests can now be used in crafting stations.
The loot menu has been reworked to allow faster and more convenient collection of loot.
Items can now be crafted in stacks.
Sending items to other players now has a more convenient menu. There is now a warning message if the backpack of the receiver is already full.
A new ping function on the world map allows pointing other players in a multiplayer session to a specific area.
Servers can now be searched and favorited via IP in the server browser.
The keys / buttons for jumping and gliding can now be mapped individually. By default, the gliding is still mapped to the same key / button as jumping. If a different key is preferred, we recommend for example [CTRL] on keyboard and [B]/[○] on controller.
TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS & STABILITY
Updating the game on Steam has been reworked to allow faster updates in the future. Previously, every update, no matter how big, resulted in the patching of the complete 30 GB game data on the hard drive. Now only the affected areas will be patched. This change requires the complete download this one time and will only be noticeably faster for future updates.
Save data stability has been improved further. As an additional security layer, the game now automatically creates backups of the save data in periodic intervals. Should a save file become unreadable for any reason, a previous version will be loaded.
RENDERING AND PERFORMANCE
Performance has been improved further. As always, performance and stability will remain a main focus while moving forward.
Support for Nvidia Reflex has been added. It can be switched on and off in the graphical settings if the used hardware supports the feature.
Added a new setting to the graphical settings to control the sharpness of the image.
Added a new setting to switch contact shadows on and off.
Added an option to switch off optional micro spiders. The big spiders are still there though, piloted by tiny spiders inside their brain.
GAMEPLAY
Added more shields into the progression.
The Multishot skill no longer consumes multiple arrows when special arrows are selected. This made the skill too expensive overall. Sorry about all this time spent farming twigs.
Update the functionality of the leech-stat, e.g. on the “Ring of Endless Life”. It now has a chance to convert a percentage of the damage dealt to enemies into health for the player.
The player skill Bloodletting is no longer triggered by Light Burst and Acid Cone.
Fixed an issue that caused too high critical damage for the Acid Cone spell.
An incorrect consumption of mana was fixed when using both skills Begone and Sun Aura. Similarly, Begone combined with traps no longer causes mana consumption.
Fixed an issue with Blood Rage caused by traps.
Fixed incorrect application of stun in multiplayer when using the Terror skill.
The companion created by the Necromancer skill now follows the player around more actively.
Fixed an issue where the Updraft skill could be triggered multiple times per glider flight. You're not supposed to be able to fly forever, no. You're not Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.
The skill Breach is no longer triggered with arrows.
Healing another player with Water Aura no longer backfires as damage when that player has Counterstrike.
The skill Shell Shock now works as described, which we can all agree is probably for the best.
Warden and Tower Aura no longer trigger while the player is down.
When successfully overpowering enemies, the Merciless Attack can now be triggered faster.
Small tweaks to durability of the various weapon types. Melee weapons lose durability slightly slower, wands slightly faster. Improved durability for rarer items.
Reaching ledges at the intended jump height is slightly more forgiving.
Fixed an issue where arrow and spell ammunition couldn't be cycled properly when using the [Q] or [LT] shortcut with certain items selected in the action bar.
Fixed an issue where action bar and ammunition selection could skip slots on higher frame rates.
Fixed an issue where eternal spells could be used up when simultaneously trying to throw explosive powder balls.
Fixed instances where sounds caused by skills or enemies could be heard by everyone in the party regardless of distance.
Fixed an issue with the Sicklescythe that sometimes got stuck in a wall after teleporting.
Loot from flying enemies spawns correctly on the ground now.
Enemies now better find their way through door frames and similar spaces.
Enemies and wildlife now use a higher resolution grid for pathfinding.
Improved steering behavior for enemies and wildlife.
Improved player camera behavior so it behaves less erratic when interacting with enemies.
Improved enemy jump behavior. You thought you were safe? Think again.
Enemies can now block wand projectiles.
Wand projectiles no longer auto-target bear traps.
Using the wand to destroy props is easier now. Before, the homing feature of wand projectiles didn’t work correctly on non-enemy objects.
Fixed some cases where hitting the heads of enemies with arrows resulted in too low damage values.
The game now prohibits using the fast travel function while falling. You can't magic your way away from gravity.
Fixed an issue where interaction prompts were shown even though the interaction wasn't available (e.g. when sleeping).
Fixed an issue where players could sit and regenerate stamina while falling
Improved the jumping behavior while sliding down mud slopes. The player has now stronger forward momentum.
Fixed several issues where the glider would be triggered unintentionally when trying to jump.
Fixed a glitch that allowed getting catapulted into the air at beds.
Fixed a glitch where the player could gain altitude by entering and cancelling the glider. Not. A. Seagull!
Fixed a stamina issue with the Hawk Boots.
The game now shows correct numbers when the player gains mana or stamina.
Being affected by damage-over-time doesn't cancel the grappling hook, climbing walls and the glider anymore--discrete hits still do. This will come in handy for dungeons, just saying.
Fixed several clipping issues for armor pieces.
Salvaging high rarity items in chests now works correctly.
GAME WORLD
Ground fog is no longer appearing in the player base, as the area is protected by the flame.
Fixed many minor issues with floating objects or other similar visual glitches in points of interest.
Fixed the incorrect appearance and recipes for the “Desert Flower”.
New music playlist for Pikesmead´s Reach.
New music playlist for combat in Shroud areas.
Several issues with ambient sounds have been fixed.
Fixed an issue with the doors in Spires when teleporting away and returning while halfway through the progress.
Flame shrines now have a small ambient flame to indicate that the flame will regrow over time when the spark has been collected.
Fixed a quest marker near the Southern Caravan area that remained as question mark even after exploring the area.
CRAFTING, BUILDING & TERRAFORMING
The visualization of the borders of the player base works now better with combined areas of several flame altars, and in cases where no-build areas are intersecting into the base.
Fixed an issue that terrain voxel would sometimes become transparent when building too close to the upper limit of the playable area.
Updated some fireplaces that didn’t offer the option for cooking or didn’t give warmth for the resting buff.
Fixed another instance of incorrectly saved growth state of plants such as berry bushes in the player base.
Added a quest for the “Spinning Wheel” to increase the visibility of the workstation.
It is now possible to craft flower soil with Emily. Flower soil lets flowers grow faster than regular soil.
Improved alignment of several double doors to better fit into the voxel grid.
Fixed a rare issue where build building shapes could be placed in a way that made it impossible to dismantle them as a whole.
Fixed an issue where it was possible to build in margins of certain no-build-and-no-save zones.
Hard wood is now used in additional recipes.
Fixed an issue where objects could be dismantled inadvertently through walls, while at the same time interfering with seedling placement. Gardening shouldn't be a home wrecker.
Allow undo function while building hammer is selected but building menu is closed.
Fixed a few instances where no-build-zones on beds were misaligned.
Fixed an issue where terraforming VFX were missing in certain situations.
USER INTERFACE / LOCALIZATION
The character details screen has been updated and many stats have been improved or renamed to add more clarity about gameplay effects.
Reduced the visual clutter of enemy and player health bars. Player health bars only show up when players receive damage, damage numbers are only shown per player. Enemy stun bar is hidden when the value is 0. For “critter”-type enemies the health bar is hidden unless they receive damage.
Damage numbers on enemies are now shown closer to the health bar.
Mana gain is now shown as values similar to health. Stamina gain is always displayed even if the stamina is consumed right away, e.g. by sprinting.
Fixed several typos or text inconsistencies brought up by the community. Thank you very much for bringing these to our attention!
The current server load is now correctly showing when playing alone on a dedicated server.
Tweaked the custom map marker menu.
Fixed an issue with location icons vanishing on the world map. Previously affected save games will get fixed after saving and reloading once.
Fixed cases where drop-down menus would exit the screen if opened too close to the screen border.
Improved wording of several error messages.
Disabled the “Please update graphics cards driver”-message for older AMD graphics cards.
Restored the charging progress indicator for staff spells.
Fixed an issue for very long passwords in multiplayer sessions.
Fixed several items that did not lose the “New” marker after selecting them.
That should be about it! We hope you enjoy this first update. Let us know what you think below!
The team at Keen Games
Those were the rather lengthy patch notes for the major update V0.7.1.0 on March 26 for Enshrouded on PC.
There are two major WWE NXT Superstars who could be getting a move to the main roster of the company in the near future.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams are making waves and are potentially going to be brought up to continue their ongoing feud on RAW or SmackDown.
“One source told Fightful Select that Carmelo has been set for his main roster call-up since prior to the Royal Rumble and is expected to move up to the main roster full-time in the summer” the site reported.
“With regards to Trick Williams, officials took notice of the reaction Williams got in his surprise SmackDown appearance back in January. There have been pitches for the pair to continue their rivalry on the main roster after Stand And Deliver, but Williams’ plans past the Premium Live Event remain unclear” Fightful added.
Fightful’s Corey Brennan also revealed that the company are likely going to put Trick vs Carmelo in the main event slot of the upcoming Stand and Deliver show on WrestleMania weekend:
“Multiple sources in NXT have told Corey Brennan of Fightful Select that the current plan is for the Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes match at Stand And Deliver to main event the show.
“While it has not been locked in and the main event could still go to Ilja Dragunov and Tony D’Angelo, officials are pushing for the heated storyline to get the spotlight” it was claimed.

CM Punk has officially confirmed what his role will be at WWE WrestleMania XL, after injuring his elbow earlier this year.
Punk cut a promo on this week’s episode of WWE RAW where he was interrupted first by Drew McIntyre and then by World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins before he could signal his intentions for the show in early April.
Fans had hoped that Punk would be the Special Guest Referee for McIntyre vs Rollins at ‘Mania, but Punk confirmed that he would be on commentary for the match on Night 2 of WrestleMania 40 alongside Pat McAfee and Michael Cole.
McIntyre in particular has been teasing a feud with Punk in the future, constantly posting jabs at the Second City Saint on social media, and it looks like that will be the direction when CM Punk does finally return from injury.
Punk also mentioned several other talents during his promo before he was cut short, including Roman Reigns, who he claimed would probably end up crossing paths with him at some point down the line.
Whether we see Punk get physical at Mania remains to be seen, but considering that he is not going to be cleared for a while to wrestle, it’s probably not likely.
As of writing, it is believed that CM Punk will be ready to wrestle again around July/August, so he could potentially get a match with McIntyre or Rollins then.

Oh yeah. We’re back and we got 54 more spells to rank, and this time it’s second level spells. Are they twice as sexy this time? Sort of. I think there’s definitely a lot of potential with these spells and I’m excited to write in great detail about which ones make the most blood rush to my loins.
Last time I did a list like this I was called out for being too vanilla, so I guess there’s no holding back this time. Let’s get real nasty with this list, shall we? Sit back, light some candles, and get ready to flick your goodberry with a guiding bolt.
54. Locate Animals or Plants
Starting off with a real dud here. You’re always trying to keep your animals outside the room when you’re doing the nasty. Also plants? Not very sexy, generally. Can be romantic, but if you’re already in the act of love making and haven’t already located your rose petals, it’s too late.
53. Zone of Truth
Listen, it’s important to be upfront and honest with your partner—especially when it comes to sex,—I want to make that very clear. Consent and communication is indeed sexy, but Zone of Truth doesn’t read to me as sexy. Zone of Truth sounds like what your parents would call a house meeting to address an uncomfortable topic. “Okay kids, let’s have a quick ‘zone of truth’ to talk about who broke mom’s antique vase.”
52. Knock
I’ve heard of knocking boots before but all this makes me think about is an unwanted disturbance at the door while you’re trying to do the deed. Not what you want while you’re inside someone or vice versa.
51. Suggestion
I think Suggestion can be sexy, but I also think it’s kind of weak. Last time we discussed Command—now that’s a sexy sounding spell. “Hey I just thought maybe you could lick my neck a little bit, maybe?” No! Use some conviction! If you trust your partner, you shouldn’t be afraid to tell them all the filthy things you want them to do to you.
50. Lesser Restoration
Talk to me when we get to Greater Restoration in Level 5; until then, we’re moving on.
49. Find Traps
I just feel like if we’re looking for traps we’re not having sex in an appropriate setting. Exhibitionism is one thing, but this sounds straight up dangerous. Plus, you’re not focusing on your partner’s needs if you’re too busy looking for land mines or whatever. Though I will admit you both should probably know where those landmines are before you get naked and sweaty.
48. Gentle Repose
Look—I’m not saying it’s not important to be a little gentle at times, but Gentle Repose ain’t the giant of leg-shaking bed-breaking stuff the people are here for. I’m hoping we start heating things up soon because I’m unimpressed by what we have so far in terms of sexiness.
47. Ray of Enfeeblement
So a ray could potentially be pretty hot as I think we’ll discover later, but a Ray of Enfeeblement just isn’t the sort of thing you want to hit your partner with. Frankly, it just sounds unpleasant. We have to move on. I’m sorry.
46. Protection From Poison
Feeling protected by your partner can be arousing for sure, and one generally doesn’t want to be poisoned. However I see the word poison and I think of Brett Michaels asking me to talk dirty to him and I can’t have that bastard ruining my list. Definitely not a sexy guy and if you disagree, fight me.
45. See Invisibility
Sometimes you’re getting down and dirty in a real dark room and it can be hard to see what you’re doing. Also, if you’re making love to an invisible partner it might help to actually see them.
44. Silence
This one is a bit of a toss up because while gagging your partner can be a great way to spice up play in the bedroom you’re also sacrificing a lot for it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for shoving somthing in their mouth while you pleasure them in unspeakable ways. However, you’ve now really cut into their ability to moan your name lustfully or whisper all kinds of naughty disgusting things in your ear. Not to mention the fact that you’ve cut off your partner’s ability to speak in case of an emergency. Always have a safe word folks, and if you’re gagged, make sure you have another way to communicate. This one could be higher on the list, though. This one is gonna cause some fights in the comments.
43. Animal Messenger
I feel like Animal Messenger may have been seen a little sexier before phones were made readily available. Imagine sending a dove or a raven to your partner far away, and they describe something naughty they’re doing as they write the message. We may not have such rudimentary methods for sexting nowadays, but I bet back in the day those birds really got people’s blood pumping as they arrived with smutty love messages.
42. Pass Without Trace
Sometimes you’re trying to be a little sneaky when you’re enjoying each other’s bodies. Perhaps you’re trying to rob a bank on a hot summer’s evening and the moment just happened upon you two. Sure you came here to make off with millions of dollars, but the thrill of the crime just overtakes you and you have to act now! I’ll just once again warn y’all to exercise caution here: you may want to cast Silence as well.
41. Misty Step
Misty Step is an odd one because I think the word misty is sexy for sure, but Misty Step sounds more like a trendy dance move from 6 years ago.
40. Locate Object
Sometimes you’re into objectification and you want your partner to treat you like their personal sex toy. Sometimes you’re just trying to find that double sided dildo in the darkness.
39. Arcanist’s Magic Aura
Have you ever stopped to think about your partner as having a sort of magic aura? Is your partner an arcanist? If so, this one is right up your alley. Regardless, I think we all need to appreciate each other’s auras more. When your partner gets home today go ahead and say: “Hey, I’m really into your magic aura.”
38. Levitate
I think Dua Lipa was on the right track with her hit single Levitating. If your partner turns you on so much that you find yourself floating off the ground then you’ve found someone special. Or maybe you’re just thinking about fucking while floating gently off the ground. Who wouldn’t be into that?
37. Continual Flame
Let’s talk about some temperature play. A continual flame could really heat things up in the bedroom both literally and figuratively. Maybe you like working some candles into your love making, whether that be just to set the mood or to drip some hot wax all over your bodies.
36. Invisibility
Of course we’ve already addressed seeing invisibility but I think being invisible may just be a few notches sexier. Imagine your partner vanishing in front of you and then doing all kinds of sensual, debaucherous acts while you can’t even see them. I suppose you could also just wear a blindfold, though.
35. Mirror Image
Have you ever tried making love in front of the mirror? It can really increase the erotic nature of the sexual experience. Alternatively, it can also make you extremely self conscious and totally kill the mood. You’re there just gazing into the mirror, wondering where the time went, how you got to this point. Your partner fades away and you’re just left in a void staring at your sad old face. So….. 35 feels good for this one, right?
34. Blur
Perhaps you have an orgasm so mind blowing that your vision blurs and you lose all sense of your surroundings? Or maybe you’ve both been drinking a little so it’s hard to tell what’s going on? Do you just like to listen to Song 2 while you’re fucking? If it’s the last one, WOO-HOO!
33. Gust of Wind
If you’re into a little breath play, maybe this one does it for you. Or maybe you and your partner are trying to make love in the middle of a tornado or a hurricane. I think that’s what that movie Twister is about. Pretty sure it had a double meaning between twister as in tornado and ‘twist-her’ being a sort of raunchy innuendo. Bill Paxton is in that one right? What was I talking about here?
32. Acid Arrow
We generally don’t use the word acid as a positive in any way. However, I think one could refer to their penis as an acid arrow. I don’t know that they should do that, but one definitely could.
31. Flaming Sphere
Here we have a big hot ball of fire. Right off the bat this reads to me as highly sexy however it also makes me think of a potential STI so I can’t put it higher on this list.
30. Prayer of Healing
We talked last time about the divine act of love making and I really think you could consider sex a sort of prayer of healing. If you truly worship your partner you may feel healed after you climax in each other’s arms. Or perhaps you just stop having sex all together and instead just solemnly pray with together with your partner. Perhaps if you truly reach god you will achieve the greatest orgasm of all, faith. Or you could just bone down hard, as usual.
29. Augury
What if you cum so hard you see the future? Think about it.
28. Spider Climb
Oooh I like this one. Makes me think about my partner climbing all over me, pleasuring every inch of my body. Or it makes me think of scary bugs.
27. Flame Blade
You know we’ve talked a lot here today about making stuff hot and I think this one really takes it up to a sexier level. Think about your partner dipping a big knife in some coals and then carefully tracing it all over your body, teasing you and titillating all of your erogenous zones. Then picture them vanquishing your enemies with it. What’s hotter than your partner standind over the decapitated corpse of your mortal enemy with their head in one hand and a flaming sword in the other?
26. Calm Emotions
Some of you may think this is too high on the list but I think it’s important to have an even keel emotional state when it comes to having sex. You don’t want to go into it all angry or stressed out. Sometimes, though, really passionate love making calls for a more heightened emotional state and I’m not going to dismiss that fact. However I also think an orgasm can be so fulfilling that it calms your emotions.
25. Spiritual Weapon
Now some of you immature readers out there will think “Oh is my dick like a spiritual weapon or something?” No. Put that opinion away, it’s disgusting. Your bond with your partner is your spiritual weapon against others who would seek to betray you.
24. Dark Vision
Now I do feel we’ve really covered our bases in terms of depriving you or your partner of vision which can be an interesting way to spice things up. But have you tried having sex while wearing night vision goggles? I’m just asking questions here, and I think it’s worth a try.
23. Enhance Ability
Look, sometimes when you get a little older you have trouble keeping it going, or maybe you just had a little too much whiskey at the party tonight. I think Enhance Ability could be used as a great euphemism for an older guy trying to take some ED mediation. I’m just trying to help, guys. Or maybe you just wanna smoke a little weed and make it feel a little different. I don’t know, I don’t judge.
22. Find Steed
This one is huge for those into horse play. But also maybe try this one on for size: Imagine your partner calling you their steed before they climb on top of you. Whipping you with a crop while they ride on top? Or maybe it’s the other way around? Do you own a crop? I bet you do if you’re reading this.
21. Heat Metal
Well, let’s say you have a metal phallic object, and let’s say you heated it up somehow with possibly some warm water. Now let’s say you insert it inside one of your or your partner’s orifices. Do you follow me?
20. Blindness/Deafness
Once again we’re back to some sensory deprivation. Look if you don’t already have a blindfold or haven’t incorporated one into your nasty business, just give it a shot. it’s an easy way to add some spice into your mild-ass sex life.
19. Spike Growth
Now, assuming you’re careful, this one has a lot of potential. Imagine if you could make your own penis ribbed for her pleasure.
18. Magic Weapon
Sure, Spiritual Weapon was pretty sexy but I think Magic Weapon is just a little more accessible to everyone. Not everyone is spiritual but I think we all have a little magic within us. Or if I’m wrong, Magic Weapon is just a great way to refer to your hitachi massager from now on.
17. Shatter
Oh yeah, this is a good one. Have you ever cum so hard you feel something shatter within you? Have you ever shattered a backboard while going at it fast and hard? Shatter really could be higher on the list if it wasn’t for the fact that the sound of something shattering often ends the sexual experience as you both stop and say, “What the fuck was that?”
16. Barkskin
Oh, you thought Spike Growth was hot? Well get a load of Barkskin. Similar deal but without the implied danger of stabbing your partner. Look—if you like it rough, what’s better than some bark! Do you like fucking trees?!?! Then oh man, I’m sorry this isn’t #1, and you’re probably pissed about Locate Animals or Plants.
15. Detect Thoughts
Ooooh read my mind baby, I want you to know what I want you to do to do me before I even know. Let’s join more than just our bodies together, let’s join our freaking minds.
14. Warding Bond
What is the act of sexual intercourse if not a warding bond? You know what I’m saying?
13. Aid
Look, it’s not complicated. Sometimes you just need a little help. Sometimes that can be a friend picking you up from the airport or lending you $20. Other times it’s someone spitting into your gaping asshole and then really going to town on it with 4 fingers. Simple.
12. Enlarge/Reduce
I mean this one is pretty self explanatory. You want a bigger penis? You want some bigger boobs? You want some smaller holes you nasty little perv?
11. Moonbeam
This one is more about setting the mood. Imagine becoming one with your partner with only the light of the moon to illuminate your bodies. It’s beautiful and passionate and it may make you wanna cry but those are the good tears, baby. Don’t be scared.
10. Hold Person
We all just want to feel safe. We all just want somebody to love. Someone to hold both physically and more deeply, metaphorically. You have to hold that special person in your heart and never let them go. It’s like the Thompson Twins once said, “Hold me now, warm my heart, stay with me, let loving start, let loving start.”
9. Darkness
It’s dark, it’s steamy, it’s sexy. We’ve been here before. This however comes in at #9 because of its simplicity. It’s dark and it’s time to fuck.
8. Alter Self
Last time we talked a little bit about role playing with Disguise Self, but now this time I want you all to really get into character. You’re not just disguising yourself, you are altering yourself. Don’t just dress up as a naughty firefighter, become one. What is your name? How many fires have you fought? What led you to have sex with this person you saved from that burning building? Really add some verisimilitude to your performance. Trust me, your partner will appreciate it.
7. Arcane Lock
Oh yeah, don’t just tie your partner up or lock them in some sort of chastity device. Hit them with an Arcane Lock. What’s better than bondage? Magic bondage.
6. Web
Yeah baby, trap me in your web, get me all caught up in all your sticky stuff. You’re the predator and I’m the prey. Let’s do this! Just don’t start telling me about when your mother was in the Amazon researching spiders right before she died. That will really kill the mood.
5. Enthrall
Mmmhmmm, I want to be enthralled by you, I want to be obsessed with you. Put me under your spell baby! We’re at the top five my friends, and Enthrall comes in hot. When you’re really enthralled by each other you can really share some beautiful incredible moments. How hot would you get if your partner told you they were enthralled by you?
4. Rope Trick
I mean, come on. Ropes are often sexy. A lot of people out there like being tied up or like being the one in control, tying up others. Being at the mercy of your partner to have their way with you while you have those rough ropes wrapped all over your body? Oooooh baby, we’re cooking now.
3. Scorching Ray
Listen, there’s no way around it here. We’re talking about bodily fluids. If that makes you feel gross, you just have to follow me here. This, again, is one that works great as a euphemism. Sure, it may sound crude to say, “Oh cum all over me, baby,” so why not try saying “hit me with your scorching ray!” Isn’t that so much better? And kinda really hot? And I mean hot hot, literally scorching hot.
2. Magic Mouth
I mean, fuck me, are you serious?!?! MAGIC MOUTH!? God damn! It does not get much better than that. I know I’ve done this several times here but just try it, just try and tell your partner they have a magic mouth after going down on you. Or own it yourself. Before performing fellatio tell yourself, tell your partner, it’s time for the magic mouth.
1. Branding Smite
Here we go, your #1 sexiest Level 2 spell is Branding Smite. I mean, just say it to yourself a couple times. It’s good, ain’t it? Smite being a sort of holy strike is already very sexy. You add branding to that? Sheeeeesh! You’re telling your partner you’re mine and I’m yours and this is a sacred holy experience we are sharing together. It’s powerful and magical and it does an additional 2d6 radiant damage, so be careful.
And there you have it. All Level 2 spells ranked. If you want me to do Level 3 just send me an Animal Messenger and I’ll get started on it right away. Until then, stay horny my friends.

Four years into its release, State of Decay 2 continues to receive QoL improvements from the developers, along with bug fixes and balance adjustments.
Here are the full patch notes for update 36 on March 26, 2024 for State of Decay 2.
A Collection of Quality of Life Improvements
With today's update we are addressing a few issues which have been affecting Players, while also implementing improvements. Here's what we've included:
Quality of Life Improvements and Tweaks
You now have the ability to deposit your rucksacks at upgraded outposts (Level 2 or higher).
There is now a ‘Take All’ action for Containers, for the survivors that need to grab everything and run!
There is now a 'Drop Item' action directly from Containers, making it easier to shuffle and transfer personal items around.
This action has also been added to Vehicle Storage (Trunks)
You can now remove weapon attachments from selected ranged weapons in the Supply Locker without needing to equip them first.
The Zombie Trappers and The Cannibals enclaves can now appear once per map (instead of once per community).
Minor Bloater improvements: The VFX and damage of the gas burst are better matched, so it no longer looks and feels like you were damaged unfairly.
To compensate the Bloaters will now also try to get slightly closer to your survivor before exploding.
Better completion counter on Curveballs with objectives. e.g. Under the Weather and Missing a Few Bolts will now read 0/3 deposits instead of 0/1 three times.
A minor change that allows more characters to potentially get the Blood Plague Survivor trait.
Expansion of new randomly generated character names and nicknames added to the pool when creating a new survivor.
Black Heart Curveball Tweaks
It’s been mentioned that the Black Heart can be too dominating on a community, especially when it rolls early, so we made some adjustments to make it feel more balanced and less punishing.
The Black Heart Curveball will now only appear after 6 days have passed (or 2 when moving maps)
The Black Heart Toxic Miasma effect will stop dealing damage sooner (at a higher health threshold), rather than right down to a slither of health remaining. Damage per tick stays the same.
Damage V/O added when taking toxic damage to give additional warning, while also feeling more realistic.
Improved VFX for Black Heart Plague Miasma
Reduced the fuel drain speed for the Black Heart Thick Miasma effect.
Reduced the growth speed for the Black Heart Growing Dominion effect.
Balancing changes to the fire resistant Black Heart Zombies (slower, and cause less sickness/plague build-up per attack)
BUG Fixes
Trumbull Valley CLEO mission edge case fixed. Previously it was possible to end the mission without getting the CLEO device, and then be subsequently unable to get it.
Fix for a crash when attempting to access CachedCommunity after shutdown.
Sentinel Mutation Curveball and the Hyper Auditory Mutation Curveball can no longer roll at the same time; it was an awkward combination as they contradict each other.
Minor Curveball Journal improvements. Fixed UI clipping, and slight adjustment to automatic font resizing.
Miscellaneous text and localization improvements.
Those were the patch notes for update 36 on March 26 for State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition on PC.
Greenville, N.C. — According to a press release by a team of top zoologists at universities around the world, MrBeast has successfully bred with a MrsBeast for the first time in captivity.
The team behind the result, a working group of zoologists from various disciplines, said that the result was a culmination of thousands of hours of work and millions in private funding – including the development of new machines and processes.
“Pandas were a fucking cakewalk compared to this” said Dr. Franz Klein, who has a PhD in Zoology from University of Glendale, Winston-Salem campus. “What we did here is nothing short of revolutionary.”
Klein, who was close friends with “Grizzly Man” Timothy Treadwell, said he and his fellow experts had never seen anything like the bizarre and, “deeply troubling,” mating behaviors they observed by MrBeast and MrsBeast.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” one scientist who asked not to be identified as they believe the process bordered on unethical, said. “We had guys quitting every single day. They get one glance at the mating ritual and they quit right there on the spot. I’m still uncomfortable with what we saw and what we encouraged. I think we went too far. The public should have been part of the process. You can’t mess with nature like this in a lab without input from elected officials.”
Asked where MrsBeast was originally found, Klein declined to comment. “I’ve received a number of letters from top U.S. officials informing me that information about MrsBeast’s origins are considered classified.”
When pressed, Klein deflected by reciting some of MrBeast’s displays of “impressive mental stamina” as a sort of off-putting courting ritual of MrsBeast – including burying himself alive and according to notes “removing his entire personality from his body.”
At press time the scientists confirmed the whole thing would indeed be part of a new YouTube channel they were starting, urging anyone in the peer review process to like and subscribe.
