Multiversus’ Roster Now Outnumbers Multiversus’ Fanbase

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Nick Coffman

BURBANK, Calif. — With the recent addition of Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series, and Agent Smith from The Matrix series, Multiversus roster now exceeds its fanbase in total numbers with 27 characters.

I sat down with a few of those fans to discuss the return of the IP whoring brawler and to get the lowdown on the Multiversus scene.

“It’s like each of us is getting a character all to ourselves,” said Thomas Shrek, a college freshman rocking a Marvin the Martian t-shirt. “Every time I close my eyes there’s someone new on the roster. It makes me really hopeful for future DLC characters. Like I think they’ll add Walter White from Breaking Bad, or Eleven from Stranger Things.”

The room collectively nodded in agreement at Shrek’s DLC wishlist. After explaining intellectual property rights and the limitations of Warner Brothers Discovery, I proceeded to question the fanbase about the roster and what they thought of the game’s return after a year-long hiatus.

“They called us fools for sticking around. Who’s the fool now?” Terry Philips, a comic illustrator in a Steven Universe t-shirt, shouted to the heavens. “We all awaited its return and now we shall be granted a main of our own for our patience and loyalty. All we need now is the twenty-seventh fan that the prophecy foretold of. He is a LeBron James main and he will make us whole.”

Philips approached me, continuing to shout nonsense about a twenty-seventh fan. He grabbed me and I shoved him to the ground. In the struggle, he ripped the button-down shirt I wear for interviews, revealing my Miami Heat jersey that doubles as a good undershirt. The fans in the room let out an ear-piercing screech. My ears filled with pain as more screeches started up in the distance. The room fell silent after what felt like hours. All eyes were on me.

“Twenty-Seven. We’ve been waiting for you,” the fans said in sync. “Each character now has their player. The game is complete. Join us. Join us and we can create a community of peace, tranquility, and of speculating characters the developers will deliver to us as DLC gifts from the heavens. With this control you are one of us, and we are all one. Welcome, brother.”

At press time, I prophesied to my brothers that Don Draper of Mad Men and Michonne from The Walking Dead would soon join the Multiversus’ roster.

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Michelle Pereira

SCUM received a major patch on April 30, and these are the patch notes for subsequent hotfixes through May 22, in descending order, from latest to oldest:

UPDATED May 22

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.536.86452 May 22

Hey hey all! Might as well call us MJ of hotfixes because we got 6 of em at this point. Check it out!

Fixed the issue where magazine would be destroyed during reload animation causing a game crash.

Fixed the issue where fortifications would sometimes cause a crash.

Fixed the issue where #VisualizeVehicleTrajectory command could cause a crash.

Fixed the issue where database would show errors regarding chest acquisition.

Fixed the issue where throwing grenades in events could cause a client crash.

Potential fix for the super loud nocturnal wildlife SFX.

Fixed the issue where abandoned bunker armory lockers would not properly reset loot.

Tweaked vehicle storage collision, giving them more wiggle room to fit in garages.

Objects that are not affected by gravity can now be spawned with #spawnitem command +/-10m in regards of ground level.

Key cards no longer spawn in abandoned bunker armory lockers.

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.535.85943 May 10

5th day of the week for a 5th hotfix, it's like poetry, it rhymes. New Hotfix is live!

Fixed the issue where SDASS ADS would glitch out in some cases.

Fixed the issue where floor blueprints would turn red after adjacent blueprint was finished.

```
Fixed a chest duplication bug.
```

Fixed the issue where improvised workbench icon would not show in crafting menu.

Small vehicle storage racks will take less physical collision damage while mounted on bikes and bicycles.

Improved Police station HTZ puppet respawning.

Known issue:

Chests could count as more BB elements. Temp solution: in your flag area put chests in your hands and place them back on the ground.

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.534.85819 May 8

Hey everyone, got a couple of goodies for you. We gathered a couple of fixes for yet another hotfix! Check it out!

Fixed the issue where heavy chests disappeared when taken in hands from vehicles.

Fixed the issue where moving a chest in a vehicle while on BB foundation, would destroy the foundation.

Fixed the issue where you could not place a foundation next to an upgraded wall.

Fixed the issue where compound bow aim would not zoom when fully drawn.

Fixed the issue where chests placed inside flag areas would sometimes give server errors.

Fixed the issue where server would crash on shutdown.

Fixed the issue where players could not drive big rafts if someone is already mounted on them.

Fixed the issue where admin drones could not see BB element health.

Fixed the issue where admin drones could not destroy some BB elements.

Fixed some item incorrect descriptions and icons.

Fixed the issue where chests would stay afloat in air if BB element was destroyed below them in SP.

Canned items can no longer spawn with less than maximum uses.

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.533.85678 May 3

Hey folks, end of the week does not mean an early weekend for us. So here is yet another hotfix with the most critical issues, check it out!

Fixed the issue where rafts not in water would be falsely flagged as flying.

Fixed the issue where equipping items directly from small vehicle storage would make them dissapear.

Fixed the issue where vehicles would fall under raid protection when inside flag area.

Fixed the issue where chests would not be raid protected if built before the flag was placed.

Fixed the issue where chests would increase active BB elements on restart.

Fixed the issue where chests placed on foundation could sometimes cause a server crash.

Known issues:

Quickly pulling chests out and in of car inventory could cause them to disappear. To minimize this issue, slowly take chests one by one out until properly fixed.

Chests show maximum 65kg weight while in containers. If the chest has more than 80kg, on take in hands action it will get stuck in the middle of the vehicle. To avoid this, put it on the floor first until properly fixed.

Sometimes chests that are put in vehicle inventory while being on foundations will break the foundations.

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.532.85622 May 2

Hey everyone! We're keeping a close eye on the valuable feedback you're giving us, which is why we're delivering another quick hotfix. We're looking into some other things that were mentioned and we'd like to kindly ask for a bit of your patience until we manage to adequately sort them out.

Fixed an issue where entering the raft option from the context menu would not execute correctly.

Fixed an issue with the bunny slippers panini in first person.

Fixed and issue where base building elements and the grill grid would not interact properly.

Fixed the issue where dropping chests from vehicles would destroy BB elements.

Flying vehicle cheat detection will now kick the player instead of banning them.

Adjusted the drift of the SUP and the Small Raft when moving forward with each paddle cycle.

Implemented puppet health multiplier server setting.

The setting will be located under the [World] section of the server settings. With this setting, players will have the option to globally modify the health of the puppets. Also, this setting will not require a server restart for it to take effect as the setting dynamically modifies the health of puppets on the server and multiplies it with the value that you set. Here's some more info on the range of the values for it:

scum.PuppetHealthMultiplier
Default value - 1.0
Min. value - 0.01
Max. value - 100.0

Quick note - the default health values for various puppet types stay the same. This means that muscular/heavy puppets will always have more health in comparison with the skinny puppets, regardless of the multiplier that you set.

Also, suicide puppets will be affected by the health modification, so make sure to take that into account in order to avoid any surprises.

Known bugs

Items equipped directly from small storage rack will disappear. Make sure to take them out first.

Locks disappear from prefab buildings on relog in Singleplayer.

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.531.85517 May 1

Fixed the issue where selling vehicle expansions while attached to vehicles would cause a server crash.

Fixed the issue where repairing vehicle parts through vicinity icon would cause a client crash.

Fixed the issues where bicycles could be logged incorrectly in the flying vehicle log.

Note: Selling inventory attachments will only be possible from service lift for now.

Those are all the patch notes through May 22 for SCUM.

THE HAGUE — The International Criminal Court announced that it will seek warrants for the arrest of all cast and crew involved with the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory and its spinoffs.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan held a press conference revealing the intention to bring the cast and crew to justice.

“We figured we’d swing for the fences,” said Khan to a slightly confused press. “2024 is the year we start checking things off the ICC’s bucket list. We’re going to arrest some war criminals, end a couple of regional conflicts, and finally bring a stop to the waking nightmare that is Chuck Lorre’s career.”

Added Khan, “How does a sitcom run for 12 seasons without ever telling an actual joke? Who the hell was watching that?”

While some were confused over the ICC’s move, various experts weighed in.

“Big Bang Theory, ran from Sept. 2007 to May 2019. For nearly 12 years on the air, it somehow won multiple Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, which is proof of the spiritual decay of Western civilization,” said sociologist Warren Calvera.

“Nobody knows how Lorre does it,” said TV critic and historian Elias Patinkin. “His shows are usually neurotoxic in small doses, but somehow they’re also ratings gold. Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men and it still kept running for three seasons. Young Sheldon was a pox on all who witnessed it for 7 years and now the next Big Bang spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will wage war against the human psyche this fall on CBS. Frankly, we have to be open to the possibility of demonic contracts.”

While the ICC’s move against The Big Bang Theory has been derided by international critics, who argue that the ICC has got to have better things to do with its time, it’s been met with widespread acclaim from young people in English-speaking countries.

“My grandmother told me that I remind her of Sheldon Cooper,” said college student Rodney Schaeffer, who attended a pro-ICC demonstration in New York City on Monday night. “No one else should have to suffer through that. If the U.S. government won’t do something, at least the ICC will.”

At press time, the ICC plans to also issue arrest warrants to AI artists, Ernest Cline, various members of the Super Smash Bros. Melee pro circuit, and anyone who has ever sold weed to Kevin Smith.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2024 Card: All confirmed matches

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Jake Skudder

WWE King and Queen of the Ring is set to take place this Saturday, and the full card for the event has now been confirmed.

Five matches were confirmed for the show ahead of time, the same amount as the Backlash event from France last month.

Among those were the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul, which was originally believed to also be for Paul’s US Championship, which he later revealed on SmackDown was not the case.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2024 Card

Here is the full card for the event:

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Logan Paul
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed vs. Chad Gable
Women’s World Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan
King of the Ring Tournament Finals: Gunther vs. Randy Orton OR Tama Tonga
Queen of the Ring Tournament Finals: Lyra Valkyria vs. Bianca Belair OR Nia Jax

The card is taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The country has been accused of ‘sportswashing’ by several notable names in the media as well as fans of pro wrestling, boxing and MMA. Sportswashing is a phrase used to describe the practice of nations, corporations, or governments using sports/entertainment to improve global reputations.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring: Why are WWE events in Saudi Arabia controversial?

WWE has an ongoing business relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is worth in the tens of millions for the company to produce shows multiple times a year in the region.

This has been described as part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing ‘sportswashing’ attempts with major PPV boxing, MMA and pro wrestling events taking place in the country recently, seemingly as a form of marketing and rehabbing the global image of the Kingdom.

MIT to Offer Degree In “Installing Fallout: New Vegas on Modern Machines”

Posted on May 21, 2024 by Amity Gilmour

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS – The Massachusetts Institute of Technology confirmed today that they were accepting applicants to their new course on “Installing Fallout: New Vegas on Modern Machines.”

“The modern world brings with it modern challenges,” said Chancellor Melissa Nobles, who opened the press conference to the tune of ‘Johnny Guitar.’ “As we look to the future however, it’s important we maintain easy access to traditions of old. Future generations will benefit immensely from the stellar storytelling and engaging gameplay of Fallout: New Vegas… providing we teach them how to install it.”

MIT has opened a state-of-the-art building to accommodate the new course, administrators said. Each student is given access to dozens of top-of-the-line machines with the latest in computing hardware. Essential tools in installing a game from 2010.

“This has been a life-saver,” said Ian Ranger, one of the students. “I must have watched dozens of video essays on why this is such a good game. I spent hours debating why Caesar’s Legion is the objectively correct choice. Yet I’ve had so much trouble getting the game to run. It’s not like we’ve got years and years of guides and documentation to go over. MIT’s finally doing what the community should have done years ago,”

MIT’s course promises to be all-encompassing and far-reaching. Students will receive education in a variety of subjects, including “117 Essential Mods,” “.INI Writing,” and “So You’ve Alt-Tabbed Without Saving.” In addition, the course has also arranged a series of debates. The first, a heated discussion on “Which Mod Manager is the Best (And Why It’s Vortex),” came under scrutiny after investigators noted Nexus Mods making a sizable donation to MIT.

Still, it hasn’t all been positive. Some students believe the course isn’t focused in the right areas.

“I am worried that the course is perhaps too focused on the theoretical,” said Max Plate, overseeing the crash test of a Windows 11 PC. “I’ve been here six months. I’ve only booted up the game to make sure there were no mod incompatibilities. I haven’t seen the outside of Doc Mitchell’s house. Sure it looks absolutely gorgeous in 4K and runs at 60 FPS, but there’s more to the game world than a Goodspring’s shack.”

At press time, a petition to expand the course to include Fallout 3 has thus far attracted no signatures.
