How to save the game in Palia? Is progress in Palia automatically saved at certain intervals or do you always have to save it manually? The open beta of Palia from Singularity 6 Corporation started a few days ago and, as expected, the cozy MMO is very popular with players. After you have created a character and spent an hour or two in the game world, the question arises when leaving the game, do you have to save manually so that all previous progress is saved and not lost?
How to save in Palia?
The short answer to the question is, you don’t need and can’t save manually in Palia. The game is an online-only experience and requires a persistent internet connection. Due to the constant connection to the servers, the progress is also constantly synchronized and saved. So you can just exit and quit the game without fear of losing anything. The next time you log in, you start again at the same place where you left off and logged out.
Tip: This is how you can quickly earn money by farming and selling oysters in Palia.
Huge TV at a low price: The 98-inch TCL P745 is sensationally affordable. SamaGame tested whether the quality was right.
For film enthusiasts and sports fans it can TV in principle not big enough. Films and sports broadcasts only develop their captivating effect on a giant screen, like in the cinema or in the stadium. But what does big mean? The maximum TV screen size is currently 98 inches, which corresponds to a screen diagonal of 248 centimeters. The new TCL 98P745 is the cheapest television of this size. For less than 2,500 euros, it promises great viewing pleasure.
That’s how big the TCL 98P745 is
With a device width of around 2.20 meters and a height of almost 1.30 meters, you can take this literally with great pleasure with the TCL 98P745. The 58 kilogram colossus stands securely on two strikingly solid metal feet mounted on the outside. Provided there is a sufficiently strong wall, the 98-inch model can also be hung up. Of course, the wall mount also has to be correspondingly large; the TCL requires the VESA dimension 500×600. At 4.2 centimeters, the television is surprisingly flat, and the workmanship with a waffle-like structured back panel and a frame flush with the screen appears to be of high quality.
More colors and 100 to 144 Hertz
To ensure that the huge screen actually provides enjoyment, the TCL 98P745 uses an upper-class LCD despite the low price: instead of 50 to 60 images per second, it shows twice as many at 100 to 120 Hertz. This makes details look sharper in fast movements, and large screens in particular benefit from this. Computers can even play up to 144 Hertz. In addition, the manufacturer promises a larger color gamut (“Wide Color Gamut”), so that films or games produced accordingly HDR (High Dynamic Range) the better image quality is actually visible. Technical tricks to increase contrast (such as local dimming or Mini LED) did not provide the budget.
Giant picture looks really good
Cheap price or not, such a huge television picture is definitely impressive. And it looks really good on the TCL 98P745: Thanks to VA LCD technology, it produces quite deep blacks, meaning the TCL achieves a contrast of over 4000:1. With just over 400 candelas per square meter, the image is bright enough even in daylight. And above all, the colors are right with natural skin tones and strong HDR display (Cinema picture mode). The TCL attenuates the HDR brightness peaks significantly, but it manages to adapt to the capabilities of the screen without over-exposing bright image areas and with decent clarity in dark corners. The processes support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ here. The automatic adjustment to the ambient brightness is designed to be very practical. Apart from the lower HDR luminosity, it moves TCL TV on par with that Samsung GQ98Q80C. Films and TV shows with poor SD resolution are no fun on such a large screen; you would have to stand ten meters away. The TCL, on the other hand, upscales HD material well to its UHD resolution, without pixel mud or annoying over-sharpening. The decent impression of sharpness is retained even in fast movements; annoying streaks are just as little an issue as image stuttering.

TCL 98P745 gives projectors no chance
In practice, a viewing distance of four to five meters is perfect for the TCL 98P745. For high-quality UHD playback with films or games, it can also be two to three meters – with an enormously immersive effect. Because then the viewer’s field of vision is largely filled by the screen, which would otherwise only be the case projector and canvas is possible. In a direct comparison, video projectors of a similar price range have no chance: brightness and contrast are much lower, so that the images look duller even in perfectly darkened rooms. And with every glimmer of light from the window, for example, the impression of the image deteriorates. This makes televisions much more suitable for everyday use than projectors.
Built-in subwoofer for rich sound
You shouldn’t expect too much from the sound in this class, but the TCL 98P745 does its job there too. This is visible in the saucer-sized woofer in the back wall, which supports the two speakers on the bottom with bass. In this way, the TV giant achieves a comparatively full, if not particularly detailed, sound. For better sound there is about one Sound bar can be easily connected. If a sound bar under the television looks too puny for you, go for it Stereo speakers with HDMI and places them to the right and left of the screen.
Also a big one when it comes to connections
The TCL 98P745’s ports are arranged on the back in such a way that they are easily accessible from the side. The clear labeling makes wiring easier, especially since nothing is missing:
HDMI: The TCL has four HDMI inputstwo of which correspond comprehensively to the version HDMI 2.1 and can process UHD resolution at up to 120 Hertz including variable frame rates – good for game consoles. One even accepts up to 144 Hertz when a correspondingly powerful computer is connected. The delay in the video signals (latency) is uncritically short in game mode at 14 milliseconds. Of the two remaining HDMI ports, one serves as a sound output for soundbars and AV receivers (eARC, enhanced audio return channel) if required and also provides 3D surround sound Dolby Atmos out of.
TV reception: As usual, you can watch television with the P745 via cable, satellite and antenna. There is HDTV in all reception types, and a few UHD channels via satellite. For cable reception, it depends on the regional network operator, but UHD is also possible in principle.
CI+: A CI module can be plugged in to unlock encrypted TV programs. This is available, for example, for private HD programs from the local cable network operator or from Freenet for antenna reception.
USB: The TCL has two USB ports for photo and video playback, one of which is easily accessible on the edge of the case. The most common multimedia formats including DTS sound can be played.
Optical output: The fiber optic digital output supplies old home cinema systems, for example wireless headphones with the television sound.
Headphone output: Classic headphones with a cable can be connected to the TCL, and the TV speakers then switch off automatically.
Bluetooth: Also a Bluetooth headphones can be coupled. This is used instead of the TV speakers.
Network connection and WLAN: The connection to the home network is made as usual via cable or radio.
Stream easily thanks to Android TV
The TCL 98P745 uses the current version 12 of the Android TV operating system. This means that the apps of all popular streaming providers are available, including: Media libraries The TV channels can be used in the same way as commercial platforms Amazon Prime Video and Netflix to Apple TV and Disney+ to Paramount+. The Google TV home screen clearly shows the most used apps in a row and tabs for other apps as well as film and series recommendations – this has been the case with others Android TVs Proven by Philips and Sony, for example. Alternatively, content can be searched for in smartphone apps and then played back on the giant screen using the Chromecast function. AirPlay 2 is also available. You quickly get used to the operation, which is helped by the handy remote control with its sensibly arranged buttons. In addition, there is voice control with the Google Assistant possible, the remote control is equipped with a microphone and a talk button. TCL adds small quick menus that can be used to select sources more quickly.
Test conclusion TCL 98P745
The TCL 98P745 is not only huge, but also really good: the features leave practically nothing to be desired, and the Android television is very versatile in terms of connections and streaming options. There are no problems with operation and the workmanship leaves a solid impression. And the image quality is impressive: brightness and contrast are fine, the image scaling works without any annoying side effects, and the P745 reproduces colors beautifully and naturally. Anyone who has seen this will hardly think about a projector as an alternative.
TCL provided the test device in Warsaw and supported participation in the product presentation trip with subsequent independent testing. Our standards of transparency and journalistic independence can be found at www.axelspringer.de/unabhaengigkeit.
Oh Wallapop, the buying and selling platform that works great when it works, but that is also a meme because of those haggles that not even Messi did on his best days. If you have entered this topic it is because, unfortunately, you are wondering How can you claim a purchase on Wallapop that does not meet your expectations?.
We do not assure you that it will turn out well, but below we are going to tell you how you can start a dispute with the seller, what the deadlines are, the platform’s return policy and how to contact Wallapop.
Wallapop disputes both friendly and escalated
First things first: if, after purchasing an item on Wallapop, you are not satisfied with the condition for whatever reason and you consider that what does not fit you was not properly indicated in the description or photographs, you can try to return it.
When you receive an order, check that everything is in order, but don’t throw anything away unless you make sure everything is as you expected. If not, you can go to the chat with the seller and, under the “All OK” button, you can open a dispute.
If the option does not appear within 48 hours after receiving the order, the only option that Wallapop gives us is to update the application. If it still does not appear, we can contact them directly.
Once opened, you must upload photos with the best possible quality, as well as fill out a description section in which you tell why you are not satisfied with what you have received.
When you have sent it, Two things can happen: the seller accepts it willingly or rejects it.. In that second case, the dispute will escalate to the Wallapop team and they will be the ones to evaluate the case and make a decision. Both we and the buyer will give their opinion and, with this and photographic evidence, the support team will make a judgement.
That everything can be seen correctly in the photos.
If in the end you can return the product (although this is a drawer) you must package everything as it arrived, with all the elements that the package consisted of and with the greatest possible protection. The last thing we want is for it to suffer damage in transport.
Wait times after responding to a dispute
Ok, the dispute has been resolved in your favor (either by agreement with the seller or by order of Wallapop) and you can return the shipment.
The action times are as follows:
A tracking code will be generated with which you can go to the post office or delivery point to send the package.
You must deliver that package within a maximum period of 10 calendar days (which means weekends count). If you do not deliver it, the transaction will be terminated, the dispute will be canceled and you will eat the package.
Within a period of about two business days from your shipment, the seller will receive the package.
Once this happens, Wallapop will issue the refund order and you will receive the money within three to ten business days.
This return is free for both parties, by the way.
What happens if it has been damaged in transport?
It may happen that the seller is completely honest and that your product arrives broken due to transport.. In this case, you must initiate a claim through the ‘Status of your purchase’ section of the app > ‘What should I do?’ > ‘Open a dispute’ > ‘Product broken during shipping’.
You must complete the requested description and provide photographs both the defective content and the exterior and interior of the package in which it was. In addition, you must also provide a photo of the box showing the information on the label.
There it will be Wallapop that makes the decision on the claim.
Wallapop return policy
There are a number of situations in which, even if you are not happy, you will not be able to return the product. Below, we leave you the platform’s returns policy with which you will not be able to return:
Voluntary withdrawal/return. That is, when the product received corresponds to the one advertised, but you do not want to keep it.
Products whose content or performance we cannot verify. Remember that Wallapop is an application for selling second-hand products, and it is difficult to check the content or condition of some of them. This includes, but is not limited to, unsealed products containing liquids or products whose performance may be affected/impaired due to the product’s own shelf life.
Products advertised as faulty or specifically advertised for parts.
Color differences between the product received and the one shown in the advertisement, as long as said color is not evident in the images or product description.
Products that have stains, dirt, obvious signs of use that can be seen in the images or description of the product, or that give off bad odors.
Discrepancies in measurements in clothing and footwear, when the size of the product received corresponds to that described in the advertisement.
Products in good condition and correct functioning, despite the fact that the product box itself is damaged.
Products manipulated by the buyer once they have been received. This includes actions such as repairing, washing, manipulating internal components…
Ads whose photos do not allow us to see the real state of the product. This includes ads with photos from the internet, third parties, catalogs…
Non-original products or products whose authenticity cannot be proven, as long as it can be demonstrated that the buyer is aware of the non-authenticity.
There are also a series of products not allowed on Wallapop such as mobile SIM cards, stolen items, vehicle parts or gold and silver ingots, among others that, obviously, if you buy you will not be able to return because they should not have been able to be sold in the first place. In this link you have the list of prohibited products.
Contact Wallapop customer service
Lastly, you should know that Wallapop does not have a phone or chat that you can contact quickly with customer service. It seems incredible in the middle of 2023, yes, but the chat that is available only has predefined answers that refer us to other sections of the help page.
So, if what you want is to contact someone, The only options are the following:
Submit a request: through this form, you can send a description of your question. In addition to your email so they can respond to you, you must specify what type of problem you have, write a subject and you can attach files.
The help center: it is the generic page from which you can consult various frequently asked questions and the policies and conditions of the service. You can access through this link.
Social networks: it is the fastest way because they will assist you by direct message. You can do so by writing to their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.
By email: the most classic solution. You can write an email directly to this address: [email protected]
Changing the macOS wallpaper is very simple: we can do it from System Settings or even with the secondary mouse click on the background itself to directly access its settings. We will be shown a gallery with all the funds that the system offers us and we will be able to choose one.
But what if we want locate the Finder folder where macOS stores those wallpapers? Apple does not reveal the “raw files” to the user, but you are correct if you think that in some directory they have to be stored. Let’s find out.
The directory where the original images of the Mac wallpapers are hidden
If you want to know the specific folder or the directory in which macOS stores the wallpapers, it is the following:
/System/Library/Desktop Pictures
You can access this directory using Finder (you’ll need to access the system root directory), or by opening Terminal and typing the following command:
open /System/Library/DesktopPictures
What you will find in this folder are the wallpapers in high resolution and HEIC format, occupying from 10 to 40 MB each depending on its complexity. There are also some very small files in .madesktop format that you can ignore, as they are probably responsible for the live wallpapers working properly.
If you can’t find this folder or see it empty, you may have an older version of macOS where wallpapers are stored in the following folder:
/USER/Library/Desktop Pictures
You can open it from the terminal by typing the following command:
open ~/Library/DesktopPictures
An important fact: if you want to extract the wallpapers from those directories better copy them leaving the original file in them, since if you remove them later you can miss them in the System Settings. But having the original directory helps to be able to locate those funds at their original resolutions, which are usually huge to cover the most demanding resolutions.
The rumors about a possible investment by the Chinese e-commerce giant in the European electronics retailer are increasing and are heating up the trading floor.
As soon as the Manager Magazin report was published, Ceconomy’s share price went crazy: the stock of the German electronics retailer, which includes the Mediamarkt and Saturn chains, shot up by almost 16 percent (on November 15, 2023). Background: The Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com reportedly wants to join Ceconomy.
The timing seems good: Well-informed sources have been saying for a while that the investment company Haniel is considering selling its shares in Ceconomy; Haniel currently holds 16.7 percent of the company. The discussions with JD.com have at least progressed to the point where Deutsche Bank is on board as an advisor, reports Manager Magazin.
Complicated ownership relationships
Friendly, interested discussions are just the beginning of every takeover, and this is especially true in the Ceconomy case – because the company’s ownership structure is complicated. Haniel holds the aforementioned 16.7 percent, but there are also the existing shareholders from the trading dynasties Beisheim (4.8 percent) and Schmidt-Ruthebeck/Meridian-Stiftung (11.1 percent).
Together with Haniel, they hold almost a third of Ceconomy. That’s why, according to the report, JD.com is also in discussions about the shares of Beisheim and Schmidt-Ruthebeck. Another 29 percent of the company belongs to Mediamarkt co-founder Erich Kellerhals, 6.7 percent is owned by Freenet, the rest are scattered shares.
The mobile phone provider Freenet is so far the only major shareholder to comment on the rumors about JD.com, but has nothing helpful to contribute: “JD.Com has not asked us about our share,” said a Freenet spokeswoman on Wednesday. From all other shareholders: no comment.
The fact is: If a shareholder reaches the threshold of 30 percent, he is obliged to make a mandatory offer to all other shareholders. If JD.com actually buys the shares of Haniel, Beisheim and Schmidt-Ruthebeck, a full takeover of Ceconomy is a very real option.
Chinese on a shopping spree in European e-commerce
JD.com’s interest is hardly surprising. After all, the Chinese giant has to keep up with its eternal rival Alibaba.com. He is currently investing in one European platform after another. The Turkish marketplace Trendyol and the Spanish platform Miravia are already in Alibaba hands. And yesterday the majority takeover of the B2B platforms wer-liefert-was and Europages by Alibaba was announced. Chinese e-commerce is on a shopping spree in Europe. It remains to be seen who will end up in the shopping cart next.
The good news yesterday afternoon was that the current-gen upgrade of Cyberpunk 2077 was finally ready after much delay and made available immediately. All current owners of the game can upgrade to the current-gen version for free, but this comes with a small snag.
If you want to continue playing the game you will not be able to get all Trophies in the continuation. If you start the PS5 version, the game will not immediately unlock all already unlocked Trophies. So you will have to start over anyway to achieve everything.
According to CD Projekt RED, this is due to the fact that the PS5 version is a different SKU, so it is not possible to transfer the Trophies. It is good news for the Trophy hunters, because they can go for the platinum again.
“Unfortunately, as the next-gen version has a different SKU, PlayStation trophies obtained thanks to backward compatibility will not be transferred. You will need to meet the requirements once again to unlock them.”
Armored Core 6 arrived without making as much noise as other FromSoftware titles. But the truth is that the shadow of the Elden Ring has not managed to eclipse what has turned out to be an excellent action game. And beyond the gameplay, fans are loving the mecha customization. Without going any further, they have managed to paint the wicks with the colors of the Evas 01 and 02 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Today we tell you how to apply it in your games.
Customize mechas in Armored Core 6
The great advantage of Armored Core 6 in terms of customization is that the game allows us to paint each part of the wick completely independently. In this way, users are getting results more typical of a mod than of an editor. And we say about the mods because, after all, the system allows easy sharing the way in which a specific result has been achieved.
Neon Genesis Evangelion in Armored Core 6
There are not a few IPs that have opted for these giant robots that the Japanese like so much. But the truth is that they are rather few have managed to permeate popular culture. Something that Eva 01 and Eva 02 of Neon Genesis Evangelion have achieved. Robots with a fantastic design and very marked and special colors. Now, thanks to the publication of journalist Gene Park, we can all get the mechas of Shinji and Asuka in Armored Core 6.
Eva Unit 01 color codes. i know some of you will want this later this month. pic.twitter.com/s8cX90IMtz

How to paint the mechas of Armored Core 6 with the colors of EVA 01 and EVA 02
As you can see, the theme consists of correctly apply the color code of each of the pieces of the wick that we can customize. In the case of EVA 01, the colors that we must use are dark green (63, 109, 78), light green (139, 212, 80), dark blue (29, 26, 47), light purple (150, 95, 212 ) and dark purple (115, 79, 154).
For its part, with the EVA 02 we must use the following RGB codes: dark blue (41, 29, 45), strong orange (234, 133, 50), light orange (249, 457, 83), red (236, 35 and 35) and white (251, 229, 229).
If you still find it difficult or want a more practical explanation, you can always resort to a video tutorial. And in that sense, we think the video created by the YouTube user Masked to create the Eva 01 is fantastic (a single video will work for both cases). In just over a minuteFollowing the steps, you will have your beloved Neon Genesis Evangelion mechas.
Capture thanks to the Masked video on YouTube
As for the game itself, remember that in this house we have already published a few guides that can help you enormously. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is not a Souls, but we are talking about a demanding game. Without going any further, we have a topic in which we give you a few tips to assemble your own wick with a head.

In Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla you can find Thor’s equipment, i.e. his armor and of course his hammer. However, part of this task requires that you do the three daughters of Lerion finds. That and you have to three witches of course also for the 100 percent achievement and the platinum trophy. So it’s worth twice.
The daughters of Lerion count as Mysteries on the map, so blue dots and then, when you have revealed what the point is, they are marked with a kind of antler helmet.
These three witches bring you closer to the trophy or the achievement “Divine Reward” and for this purpose you get a long dagger every time you defeat a witch, which you have to push into a hidden statue in order for this quest to continue. You can find the details of the Thor quest here.
Goneril, daughter of Lerion number 1
You shouldn’t underestimate the daughters of Lerion, all three are powerful magicians and can make your life difficult. Goneril is still the easiest, though, and you should be able to defeat it at power level 90 or higher. But even then it is a little bit more intense than some zealots who also have this level, so prepare yourselves in terms of medicinal herbs.
The witch’s trick is to multiply and deceive herself and she likes to disappear for a few seconds, only to attack you from a surprising direction. Your attack skills mostly come to nothing, so you shouldn’t rely on them or use them at all. Instead, you consistently evade and only attack with light blows and preferably a fast weapon if you have the chance.
You do most of the damage when she started her runic attack, but it came to nothing thanks to your evasive maneuvers. Then Goneril has to take a deep breath and you can counter. If she starts normal attacks and you are good at counterattacking and parrying, this is also a good way to add a few extra punches.
It can’t hurt if you really internalize this fighting technique – what you should generally do for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla: Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla – Parry properly and you will win every fight!
So stay on the move, parry and counter when it comes down to it and Goneril will soon have himself done.
Regan, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla’s Witch Number 2
Regan is a little stronger than Goneril, so you should be patient up to Power level 110 or 120 before continuing here. Have you found her in her hiding place – see map – that you will find that the daughters of Lerion were apparently all in the same school. It can also multiply and it loves to teleport through space. She can do that very quickly too, so save yourself arrows and special attacks again, although the ax throw is the exception and can be fast enough if you get the timing right. Otherwise you stick to fast attacks with light weapons again, dodging and parrying to land a counterattack.
This is where Regan is hiding
But Regan has one more trick up her sleeve, namely as soon as she has lost half of her life energy. Now she has suddenly mastered fire magic and almost exclusively uses fire attacks. This means that even with successful counterattacks you will quickly be on fire yourself, which quickly makes evasive movements even more important – with this you extinguish the fire if you are burning yourself. Make sure you don’t get hit without at least catching her and Regan will soon be history too.
Cordelia, the third witch
Cordelia should be saved for a while, pretty much until the end of the game, because you shouldn’t put yourself below power level 340. It is a little simpler than Regan, in that it mainly makes long jumps towards you and thus brings itself within reach. This is a real problem if you don’t have your stamina in view and leave something to evasive maneuvers. Should she start her red attack and you can’t get away from it quickly, then it will be very painful for you. Be even more patient with her, do not exhaust yourself with punches in the void and use quick attacks. Cordelia is also prone to poisons, which can give you a small, but perhaps crucial, advantage.
Here you can find the last witch of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Cordelia.
The three daggers for the statue
With these three daggers you then continue with Thor’s quest series, because with a power level that was enough to defeat Cordelia, you can also get Thor’s helmet and the rest of the divine items: Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla – So find her Thor’s hammer Mjolnir and his armor

This week we finally got confirmation from CD Projekt Red that a new saga for The Witcher is in the works. Well, quite a few open-world RPGs have been released in the meantime that have renewed the genre considerably. That is why in the SamaGame Cast we discuss which The Witcher 4 gameplay innovations are needed to keep up with all these top titles and whether CD Projekt Red itself might also be able to pull a special innovation out of the hat.
With Cyberpunk 2077 still fresh in their minds, CD Projekt Red has chosen to reveal that the latest installment in The Witcher franchise is in development. Well, it will be a while before the game actually comes out, but there is certainly something to discuss when it comes to possible The Witcher 4 gameplay innovations.
It is true that RPG enthusiasts have been spoiled lately with excellent games such as Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West. Both games have done new things with the genre, so you would think that The Witcher 4 will have to innovate a lot in terms of gameplay in the coming years. What exactly should happen with The Witcher 4 gameplay innovations Luuc and Roland discuss in episode 54 of the SamaGame Cast.
The Witcher 4 gameplay needs to change
We are used to telling a good story from CD Projekt Red, so there is confidence in that. So the question is whether the Polish studio will also lean a bit into the design of Elden Ring, where discovery and exploration are central to the gameplay loop. You can hear whether it is really necessary in the latest episode of the SamaGame Cast below!

In 2020 it was announced that Codemasters had obtained the official WRC license for the period from 2023 to 2027. This means that from next year the developer will be the only studio to make officially licensed WRC games. When that agreement was announced, Codemasters indicated that it would not be at the expense of the well-known DiRT franchise. The studio said it remained committed to DiRT and even reported that the team behind the DiRT Rally games was already working on a new part at the time. Now this seems to be turning out differently.
Insider Tom Henderson reports namely that Codemasters is now fully focused on its first WRC game when it comes to rally games. DiRT Rally 3 was indeed in development, but according to Henderson was scrapped at the end of last year. In fact, it seems that the entire DiRT series has been put on hold for the time being. Codemasters will focus on nothing but F1, GRID and WRC for the foreseeable future, Henderson said.
Henderson relies on his sources, but there are already concrete indications that point in the same direction. EA, which acquired Codemasters early last year, has it official Twitter account of the DiRT games have changed their name. The account is now simply called “EA SPORTS Rally,” which also seems to suggest that the focus is no longer on DiRT.
In short: enough indications that we will hear little or nothing from the DiRT games in the coming years and that Codemasters will fully focus on WRC, now that the license is in the hands of Codemasters. Of course, Henderson’s report has not been confirmed, so consider it a rumor for now. It’s not yet known when Codemasters’ new WRC game will be officially announced, but it’s likely to be released next year, when the license will officially go to Codemasters.
Pako Battiliar is a new weapon added to Vampire Survivors in update 1.9. And the best part? Pako Battiliar also has an evolution! Here’s how to unlock Pako Battiliar and evolve him into Mazo Familiar in Vampire Survivors.
How to unlock Pako Battiliar in Vampire Survivors
Pako Battiliar is Bat Robbert’s starting weapon and is unlocked by defeating 161616 Bats in numerous matches of Vampire Survivors. He sends a wave of bats from one end of the screen to the other.
Here is the breakdown of each level:
Level 1: Can retaliate by losing life points.
Level 2: Pass through one more enemy. Increases base speed by 30%.
Level 3: Fires one more projectile. Reduces cooldown by half a second.
Level 4: Fires one more projectile. Increases base damage by 10.
Level 5: Pass through two more enemies. Increases base speed by 30%.
Level 6: Fires one more projectile. Reduces cooldown by half a second.
Level 7: Fires one more projectile. Pass through three more enemies.
Level 8: Fires one more projectile. Increases base damage by 10.
How to evolve Pako Battiliar into Mazo Familiar in Vampire Survivors
You evolve Pako Battiliar into Mazo Familiar by upgrade Pako Battiliar and Hollow Heart to max level. Actual evolution is done by picking up a treasure chest, just like with any other weapon in Vampire Survivors – if RNG is on your side, of course.

What does Mazo Familiar do in Vampire Survivors?
The game text, “Pako Battiliar evolved. Damage and amount impacted by max health,” doesn’t say much. In practice, it dispatches bigger bats (and more bats, of course!) and does a lot more damage. It’s a fun weapon to try, but it’s far from the best in the game, power-wise.

“I’m built hard to deal with Nilfgaard and real scarred.”
Netflix recently released the first trailer for his new TV series based on the popular The Witcher books based. This video inspired an enterprising nerdcore MC to create Geralt and the Witcher Universe to write appropriate lines and underlay the trailer with it. The English rapper Dan Bull combines his track “The Bestiary” with the footage showing the fierce looking Henry Cavill shows. That expression fits perfectly with the rapped list of Geralt’s monstrous enemies. The result is reminiscent of you Pokemon Rap, only here Alghouls take the place of Articuno.
Dan Bull pleased us beforehand a Borderlands 2 track, which gave us the phrase “Vault Hunter S. Thompson”. That’s very good, even if he’s not quite there (yet). Mega Ran reaches.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has all the necessary ingredients to be one of the best games of 2023 and one of the most outstanding RPGs on the international scene For a long time. Although it is still a bit early to talk about, it is what one can infer seeing everything that Larian Studios has prepared as well as the time they have dedicated to the project. Also, of course, it is very related to what we have already seen in, for example, early access.
What many may not like is that, since it was announced, the game has had to toughen its requirements in order to respond adequately. This has caused us to need larger components. Unfortunately, it is not the only thing that will require us. If we take a look at the game’s official Steam page, we can see – and this has been known for a long time – that we will need 150 GB of storage on an SSD hard drive. Nevertheless, in the end it will be somewhat less: 122 GB. At least that’s how Larian Studios has reported it through an official statement.
Larian Studios confirms that the game will occupy 122 GB of SSD
Despite this, it continues to be an important space, which it will force us to have a fairly important SSD storage hard drive. It is not nonsense, since in the case of many users it could occupy up to a quarter of the storage of their systems. At least it seems so if we review the latest Steam reviews.
Today, the usual measurements of the SSD that we can find in many computers are 256 GB, 500 GB or, failing that, 1 TB. For those who have the latter, Baldur’s Gate 3 will be no problem, but for the first two it can be somewhat more complicated to manage. In many cases, there will be players who are forced to delete other games in order to have only the new Larian.
However, this is not a situation that only occurred with Baldur’s Gate 3. More of the same will happen with Starfield and other releases like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order did too. Thus, it seems that the new standards of the video game industry will require us to have more space than ever if we want to continue enjoying its virtues.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor comes out today, but Respawn Entertainment still has a lot of work to do. There are already ‘weeks worth of patches’ announced by EA.
Update – New patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor
EA and Respawn Entertainment have released a new patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor. The update is currently only for PC and should improve performance on the platform. A patch should also be released for the PS5 and Xbox Series X later today.
Earlier this year, it was decided to delay the release of Star Wars Jedi Survivor by six weeks. The reason for that was to give Respawn Entertainment more time to polish the game. The studio just needs more time to properly finish the new title.
EA announced via Twitter that the first patch is ready today, with several updates in the coming weeks. That is also not without reason. Although Star Wars Jedi Survivor is well put together in terms of gameplay and story, the performance of the game is not optimal.
Major patches needed for PC version
In our review we already mentioned that the performance on the PlayStation 5 leaves something to be desired, but the PC version of the game in particular still needs a lot of work. For example, the game takes up a lot of VRAM, so a PC with a very expensive Nvidia RTX 3080 TI in it cannot play Star Wars Jedi Survivor at 4K.
In addition, the power of the video card is not used optimally. According to the German SamaGame, it was not possible to achieve 60 FPS with an RTX 4090 at 1440p. The power of the video card was only used for 35 to 60 percent, while only 4 CPU threads were used out of the available 24!
Logitech has announced the G810 Orion Spectrum wired keyboard. The new product was created specifically for demanding fans of dynamic computer games. The advantages of this model include a unique design, high reliability and the latest technical solutions.
The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum keyboard uses proprietary Romer-G mechanical microswitches. The stroke of the rod to the actuation point is only 1.5 mm, which ensures minimal response time. The minimum force that must be applied to operate is 45 g. The declared resource of Romer-G microswitches is 70 million clicks.
The keycaps of the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum model have an asymmetrical shape. According to the developers, this solution allows you to keep your fingers in the center of the keys, and also contributes to more reliable operation when pressed from the side.
“Our team interviewed dozens of gamers to find out what they wanted in a gaming keyboard,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s gaming division. — The result of this year and a half of work was the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum model. Its design and construction were created with the goal of providing gamers with maximum performance.”
In addition to the standard set of 104 full-size keys, the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum has buttons for controlling the software media player, changing the brightness of the backlight and muting the sound. There is also a wide ribbed wheel for volume adjustment.
All Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum keys are equipped with customizable backlighting. The user can choose the desired color from more than 16 million options for each individual key, as well as various backlight operating modes.
Logitech Gaming Software allows you to customize key functions, control the backlight, and record macro commands. The kit includes ready-made backlight settings for more than 300 games.
This model is designed to connect to a USB port and is equipped with a built-in 1.8 m cable, which is enclosed in a durable woven braid.
Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum case dimensions: 153 x 443.5 x 34.3 mm; weight excluding cable – 1.18 kg. Folding legs on the bottom plane of the case allow you to install the keyboard in one of three fixed positions – with an inclination angle of 0, 4 or 8° relative to the supporting surface.
The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum keyboard is expected to go on sale in Russia in mid-February.
