The new hero known as Mauga is from Samoan Providence, as is an Overwatch 2 player who has explained some of his main phrases
Overwatch 2’s new hero, Mauga, has been the subject of great interest from players since his introduction at BlizzCon 2023. One of the Highlights of this character is his voice and the phrases he says during the game. An Overwatch 2 player recently explained the meaning of the phrases of the new hero: Mauga.
According to the player, the name “Mauga” means “mountain» in Samoan. The correct pronunciation of the name is «Muh-oo-ga“, with a soft “g” at the end. Although many people pronounce the name with a harder “g,” like “mauka«, this pronunciation is not correct for the Samoan language. Furthermore, during the presentation, when Mauga uses his ultimate ability, you can hear the phrase “SE’I KOE IKIIKI«, which is pronounced «Saii-koeh-kiki«. This phrase means “just a little more.” and is often used to persuade someone to invest more time in something.
An Overwatch 2 player explains the phrases of the new hero: Mauga
As an example of the above, if your guests are planning to leave, you may hear your parents say “sei koe ikiiki» to persuade them to stay a little longer, says the user who has revealed all these details. Also, he indicates that it could be to convince a friend to stay online for another game of Overwatch 2. However, would never make sense in the context of a battle crysince it is more of a conversational phrase.
Overwatch 2 presented some big news during BlizzCon 2023 in addition to Mauga, as some game modes that are coming soon for co-op enthusiasts were also revealed, in addition to some concept art from heroes who will come to the game during season 11 and 12 of the year 2024. Without a doubt, Overwatch 2 has a lot to offer in the coming months, so we will be very attentive to its news.
If you still play Pokémon GO very regularly and often, then you may have also seen the new research “Ghost in the Device”. In any case, there are numerous reports and speculations about this in the subreddit The Silph Road.
The research instructed: “Catch me if you can” and showed a small text emoji behind it. There were also 30 candies for a Pokémon whose silhouette was shown. In addition, part of a code was displayed, starting with “0HY0” – the rest remained hidden.
Fans are wondering whether it was a mistake, a premature release or a teaser. Many people tend to use teasers, but Niantic is also known for making one or two errors. But it is at least clear how things will continue.
The silhouette clearly showed Rotom. This also matches the number of stardust you got for research: 479, which is Rotom’s Pokédex number. You could already catch Rotom in Pokémon GO, but only during special events. The Pokémon is still rare in the game, especially for newcomers.
Everything points to Los Angeles
The research is expected to resume this weekend (February 17th and 18th). Then the Sinnoh tour takes place in its local version in Los Angeles. In the feature “A Paranormal Puzzle,” trainers in LA will then work together to uncover a code that will lead to a Rotom encounter. If the trainers solve this task locally, players around the world should also be able to take part.
Then the research may be distributed with a code. We will update this post if things turn out the way they are supposed to. Then you can find the code here!

A young Montrealer accused of extortion and vehicle trafficking could pocket up to $15,000 per stolen vehicle.
This is what Yann Maever Soh Djomegne allegedly told an undercover agent he met in the cell after his arrest on November 2. According to information collected by the double agent, Soh Djomegne describes himself as a car thief. He could pocket between $14,000 and $15,000 per vehicle and steal up to three in a single evening.
A few days before his arrest by the Montreal City Police Service (SPVM), he allegedly got his hands on a Corvette.
The keys to a Corvette similar to this one were found in a coat during the search targeting the suspect in Montreal. The car was later found by police.

He was also suspected by police of car theft in Ontario. These details were revealed as part of the investigation into the accused’s release.
Since the start of the year, car theft has become a real scourge in Quebec with nearly 14,000 vehicles stolen from January to the end of November.
Weapon and cans of gasoline
The arrest of Soh Djomegne allows us to better understand what is happening on the ground. It all started last August, when the 22-year-old young man showed up at a store specializing in exports near the Montreal-Trudeau airport with three other people.
The quartet allegedly tried to force the company’s manager to export vehicles, under penalty of paying them the sum of $30,000.
The manager had already refused a similar request a few days earlier, suspecting that the cars had been stolen.
Faced with the refusal, Soh Djomegne went to the trunk of his car where he showed cans of gasoline. Another showed a gun hidden in his pants.
They then threatened to set fire by stacking mattresses in the warehouse. Fortunately, the manager managed to call for help using his cell phone.
Yann Maever Soh Djomegne and three other accomplices allegedly tried to force a manager of this company located near Montreal-Trudeau airport to export vehicles last August.

Arriving on the scene, the firefighters saw the vehicle driven by Yann Maever Soh Djomegne leaving in a hurry.
$11,000 in cash
Equipped with the physical description and the license plate number, the police opened the investigation. Along the way, they saw the alleged thief frequenting two addresses in the metropolis, the one where he lived and another which would have served as his hiding place.
While searching the premises, they discovered two Glock-type pistols made from a 3D printer. They also found car-stealing tools, programmable blank keys and $11,000 in $100 bills.
The judge refused to release Yann Maever Soh Djomegne pending the continuation of the procedure, despite the commitments made by his mother. His lawyer, Me Camille Blanchette Sinotte, indicated that the testimony of the undercover agent will be the subject of questions later since it was not filmed and is based solely on notes.
The young criminal will have to appear in court again in the coming weeks, notably for non-compliance with conditions.
During another arrest in June, he made a surprising revelation.
“He laughingly claims that his career is to be a bandit and give work to the police,” explained the Crown prosecutor, reading the notes taken by a police officer.
Moreover, the young man was identified at the scene of a car theft with gunfire last September in Oka, according to a police report.
The three other individuals who were at the warehouse during the August extortion attempt have not been arrested because police say they have not been able to identify them.
GPS on Amazon
During the search carried out by the police in the apartment which would have served as a hiding place for the alleged thief, they discovered boxes from Amazon containing boxes of GPS devices. According to the Crown prosecutor, Me Marie-Christine Lajoie-Fillion, this type of device is commonly used to track stolen vehicles.

Legal disputes continue over ‘Pasapalabra’. Since Telecinco left, the network has not raised its head and this may be its opportunity to get it back: the Supreme Court has admitted to processing the lawsuit to review the ruling that took away the successful contest.
Sentence review
In 2019, Telecinco was left without ‘Pasapalabra’ when ITV terminated its contract and the Supreme Court issued the ruling by which the group was completely prohibited from commercially exploiting the format. The contest jumped to Antena 3, where it has been broadcast successfully since then.
However, Mediaset has not given up its efforts to recover the program that gave it so much joy at the time (and that marked to a certain extent the beginning of the decline of its audiences).
The group has tried to appeal in the wake of the 2022 judicial mess around the rights of ‘El Rosco’for which the Dutch company MC&F sued Atresmedia and ITV claiming to be in possession of the copyright of the well-known test.
Finally, the Supreme Court has admitted Mediaset’s claim for processing, by which The sentence that took away their rights to the program will be reviewed and could be annulled.. Now, ITV will have to respond to the lawsuit and the Public Prosecutor’s Office will report on the review before the sentence is handed down, as reported by Expansión.
They wanted to see if a car had exploded when the tank was shot down. Pierre Chabrier and Sylvain Lévy, the duo of YouTubers who host the Vilebrequin channel, were sentenced Monday evening to a fine of 3,000 euros each by the Charleville-Mézières judicial court for having used rifles and pistols during the filming of ‘one of their videos. The prosecution had requested six months’ suspended imprisonment and a fine of 500 euros, stressing that “this type of video and YouTubers are of particular interest to young people and adolescents in the construction industry”, demanding from them “an exemplary attitude towards of their audience. . »
This decision comes ten days after the announcement of the end of Vilebrequin, the first automotive channel on YouTube in France with nearly 2.5 million subscribers, the duo wishing to take a breather after seven years of weekly production.
Weapons provided by a customs accomplice
In the incriminated video, published at the end of 2022, the two videographers fired live ammunition at two cars destined for scrapping on private land located in Belleville-et-Chatillon-sur-Bar (Ardennes). Ten firearms, provided by a 25-year-old customs officer who was also fined 2,000 euros, were used. The three men had already filmed a first video two years earlier, where an armored vehicle had been targeted, but this had taken place in a shooting range.
The prosecution stressed that the YouTubers’ accomplice “had no legitimacy to organize this shooting session and lend his weapons. » By relying on him, “my clients had the feeling that everything was aligned”, argued the lawyer for the Vilbrequin YouTubers, Me Arnaud Pelpel. As for exemplarity, in the video, the duo repeats “don’t do it again” around fifteen times, he recalled, pleading for his release.
Helldivers 2 has a long list of enemy types that players must learn to defeat, both Terminids and Automatons. If you’ve played Helldivers 2 and want to take on a lineup of enemies, look no further.
Many enemy types have specific weaknesses and cannot be defeated with basic weapons, so here are all the bugs and bots in the game and how to defeat them.
All types of Terminids and how to defeat them
Below is a complete list of Terminid enemy types, from the simplest to the biggest bugs in the game. We have more detailed guides for some of the stronger enemy types, which you can access by clicking on the linked names in the tables below.
Error type
How to overcome it
scavengers
These basic bug enemies die from one shot with most weapons.
This isn’t much of a threat unless they manage to attack you, so keep them at a distance.
Bile spitters
As weak as scavengers, but with a ranged attack that you have to be ready to dodge.
Warriors
Bigger and stronger than the Scavengers, but still easily defeated with a few shots from any standard weapon.
Nursing Spewers
Like Yellow Eaters, but much larger, these worms will spit bile at you from a distance.
Although the large pouch on his back may be destroyed, it will be better this way focusing the fire on his head.
Commanders of Brod
Similar to warriors, but much larger and with armor.
Aim for the legs to break the armor, then hit the weak spot underneath.
Guardians of the Hive
Extremely strong frontal armor that can only be penetrated by heavy weapons such as the Rail Gun.
Better aim at the gaps between his armored parts or hit him from behind.
Hunters/Pouncers
Hunters (and a smaller version called Jumpers) only take a few shots to kill, but can be difficult to hit when they lunge at you.
The best choice for them will be a rapid-firing weapon.
Stalkers
Larger, tougher Hunters with the ability to turn invisible. Then use smoke grenades to make them easier to spot hit them with heavy weapons.
If Stalker appears, it means: There is a Stalkers’ Nest nearby. Head in the direction the Stalkers are coming from to find it and lock it up permanently.
Bile Spewers
Very similar to Nurse Spewer, but deals more damage. Aim for the head to take it off quickly.
On higher difficulties the Bile Spewer gains armor, for these it is better to focus fire on the worm’s sides.
Chargers
Chargers are top-tier Terminid enemies, with high damage and lots of armor.
The fastest way to destroy them is shoot the legs and chip away at the armor there and then hit the exposed flesh.
Yellow Titans
The biggest bug in the game, the Yellow Titan is immune to most damage.
You will have to use tricks hit it with commands like Orbital Rail Cannon Strike or 500kg Bomb.
All slot machines and their weaknesses
Moving from bugs to bots, here are all the types of Automaton enemies and weaknesses you need to know to take them down quickly.
Machine type
How to overcome it
Invaders (MG, rocket launchers, stormtroopers)
Basic Automaton soldiers, easy to take down with most weapons. They can deal quite a lot of damage with machine guns and rocket launchers.
The Assault Raider has a jetpack that allows him to close the gap quickly, so be sure to take it out when you see them coming.
Stragglers/Soldiers
These are just different types of basic bots and poses they are no more of a threat than the Raiders.
Marauders are basically the simplest Raiders with a different appearance, and Soldiers can usually only be found piloting Scouts.
Rowdies
Brawlers are as simple as the previous types, they are simple humanoid automatons just a few shots are enough to defeat.
As the name suggests, they are melee fighters as they charge at you with dual swords. Be sure to eliminate them before they get close.
Scouts
Scout Striders are walking mechs like the AT-ST from Star Wars. Everyone has Policeman in the driver’s seat and eliminating them is the fastest way to defeat the Scout.
They are open at the back, giving you a clear shot at the pilot, and you can fire rockets or grenades from the front to eliminate a Soldier with area damage.
Berserkers
Berserkers are the bigger sibling of Brawlers, larger and more powerful bots that charge at you with chainswords instead of weapons.
They’re harder to beat, so aim at their arms to disable their weapons and make them unable to fight.
Devastators
Devastators are similar in size to Berserkers, but these are really hot. Devastators They don’t have a specific weak point, you just have to hit them as hard as you can. The regular Devastator has a machine gun and can be destroyed with regular fire.
The Heavy Devastator carries a giant shield that you must bypass or penetrate with anti-tank weapons. Beware of Missile Destroyers as they can deal massive damage to you from long range.
Commissioners
One of the weakest Automatons in the game, basically an Invader with a gun and a sword. The real threat from commissioners is their ability summon Dropships by firing a flare. Take them out before they can, otherwise you’ll have a whole squad of bots on you in no time.
Dropshipping
These ships can be destroyed, but the real threat is the Automatons on board. If the commissioner calls for a dropship, it would be best to do so shoot at the center of the ship with an explosive weaponlike a grenade launcher. This can eliminate bots before they can fall, saving you from having to fight them.
Hulk Bruisers/Obliterators/Scorchers
Hulk Automaton is something straight out of Warhammer 40K and comes in three variants: Bruisers, Obliterators and Scorchers. Bruisers have two powerful assault rifles, Obliterators add rocket pods, and Incinerators have flamethrowers.
The weak point of each of them is the same, i.e a glowing vent on the back of the bot. If you can’t get behind the Hulk, use the railgun to destroy the weapon or use a stratagem such as the orbital railgun.
Destroyer Tanks
The biggest evil on Automaton’s side is the Annihilator tank. These massive tanks have a devastating cannon that will take you out of range, and a machine gun on the front that will mow you down if you get too close.
Again, there is a glowing weak spot on the back, but with these beasts we recommend not getting involved and just use your best stratagems to take them out.

SkyShowtime entered Spain quite strongly. In the midst of all the Netflix controversy with the new shared account policies (which are not applied in all cases due to the difficulties involved), SkyShowtime arrived in our country with a groundbreaking offer: 50% lifetime discount on monthly subscription if you don’t cancel.
This allowed us to take a look at the catalog and have another video platform at a very attractive price. Unfortunately, it expired a few months ago, but what is still active is the free seven-day trial of SkyShowtimeand we tell you how to take advantage of it and how to cancel so that you are not charged anything.
How to watch SkyShowtime for free and cancel before you’re charged
Despite the controversy over disappearing content, SkyShowtime is a good complementary subscription if you get it at the right price. After the starting price of 2.99 euros, we have two plans: the monthly one or the annual one with a discount.
The monthly one costs 5.99 euros per month and the annual one for 46.99 euros per year. This is equivalent to paying eight months and a year costs 3.92 euros per month, which is not bad at all. Here, at the moment, we do not find different plans with advertising, different content or different resolutions.
But hey, as we say, There is a seven-day trial so you can assess if the content is worth it or if the viewing quality is what you expect, and this promotion only applies if we choose the manual subscription.
To take advantage of this trial, you have to go to the SkyShowtime website (not in the app) and create an account with email and password. In addition, you must fill out some information such as your payment method and, when everything is ready, the first week is free.
Once this is done, you can start browsing, but We recommend that the first step after creating the account is… cancel the subscription. In this way, the platform will not pass you the 5.99 euros for the first month, since the renewal is automatic if you do not cancel.
To do so, all you have to do is go to ‘My Account’ and select ‘Cancel Subscription’ under the ‘Plans and Payments’ tab. What’s happening? Well you can’t do it from your mobile. To cancel your SkyShowtime subscription, you have to go to the website and the process is quite annoying.
If you have the application downloaded, automatically when you enter your credentials on the web, the app will open. You must go back (to Chrome or whatever browser you use) and do the process from there.
Done this, you will be able to continue using SkyShowtime for free for the rest of the trial of seven days without fear of being charged anything at the end.
In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom you can use the right ingredients to prepare various medicines that have a positive effect on Link and his properties. The medicine also includes spurt medicine. With Spurt Medicine, Link can move faster for a short period of time and thus run, climb and swim faster. The medicine is available in different stages or levels, the higher the level, the stronger the effect. In this context, one or two players may ask themselves the question, from which ingredients and with which recipe can you make Spurt Medicine Level 3?
Spurt Medicine Level 3 in Zelda TotK
In order to prepare the higher quality medicine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you need various materials. With Spur Medicine, all you need for level 1 is a Spur Lizard and any monster part. To make Level 3 Spurt Medicine, you need other ingredients. A recipe for the Spur Medicine Level 3 consists of 4x Spur Toad and 1x Lizard Spur. There are also other recipes such as 1x Spur Lizard, 2x Spur Toads, 1x Monster Essence and 1x Echsalfos Spur with which you can prepare the Spur Medicine Lv3.
Recipe 1:
4x Spur Toad
1x Echsalfos spur
Recipe 2:
1x track lizard
2x Spur Toads
1x Monster Essence
1x Echsalfos spur
It is not yet known why there are different recipes for the medicine spurt at higher levels. The easiest recipe for level 3 seems to be the Spurt Medicine recipe mentioned above, consisting of 4x Spurt Toad and 1x Lizard Spur, which can also be found and farmed relatively quickly.
Can you actually improve the Master Sword in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
Inti Creates has announced that Umbraclaw will be released digitally on May 30, 2024 for PCs, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. A playable demo will be made available for a limited time during the Steam Next Fest, starting on February 5th.

I spoke to you recently about best game all-time expert for me: Project Gaia! Despite the presence of new people created by fans I couldn’t wait to see an official expansion arrive! Feuerland has just revealed the first information on it! I am joy!
New planets
Turquoise protoplanets
The new planets are found on small sector tiles. Turquoise planets require 3 stages of gaiaformation for everyone but pay off 6 points. We can already imagine that the coveted gaiaformation track will become even more popular! So imagine a player who only has 1 gaiaforme ore having fun on a turquoise planet the round where the gaiaformation stages earn points! Strong !
Pink asteroids
Asteroids are gaiaformed in spending a gaiaformer. They thus offer them another use… it’s a welcome development… we end up quite often with a gaiaformer which is useless because we had to take the techno tile underneath (for example with the itars) or that we took this first step on the track with the crazy androids… I will be able to get on this track more often, which I shy away from 2 times out of 3.
Beware of Geodens
2 new planets are choice sockets for the Geodens. Indeed, I hope they thought about the fact that with 2 new types of planets they can become the best people in the game (with the 6 science gained in addition!). A priori yes given that the publisher announces covering tiles on the planetary institutes of certain peoples (we can imagine that the Geodens would go from +3 sciences per new type of planet colonized to +3/+1 depending on the type discovered)
The Tinkeroids are coming!
A very mobile but dangerous people
The Tinkeroids promise to be very mobile on the map with several planets that only requirea stage of Gaiaformation. It will be difficult to block them. On the other hand, they should not bother other players too much with other people’s planets which will cost 3 stages of gaiaformation. We can also notice that the Gaia planets cost 2 green cubes! Be careful of games with scoring on gaia or types of planets.
A very adaptive people
They start with a single building the planetary institute. Unlike Terra Mystica or more recently Age of Innovation, starting with a single building is not too risky in Project Gaia (hello Swarm). And this Planetary Institute allows you to choose one additional action per turn (the top 3, turns 1 to 3, then the bottom 3 in the photo below). A model of its kind to adapt!
It seems very strong
Additional actions are very strong ! Having a free shovel (imagine with the shovel booster) at the start of the game or even 3 at the end seems really strong to me! And the +4 power action can also make a combined turn at +8 power with the right technology (it seems to me the perfect opening turn 1 in fact, where few players have power early).
Other promising additions
New technologies
We will also find in this extension new technologies to place at the very top of the tracks for even more renewal: points for large buildings, for peripheral sectors, for asteroids, or even points in gaiaforming (that seems so strong to me). My favorite: points using green cube actions!
New roundboosters
We will also be able to have fun with new round boosters : points for the types of planets (another great thing for the Geodens), for the gaiaformers (finally a gift for my favorite people: the Bal Tak), for the peripheral sectors and direct gaiaformation (to be confirmed it seems excessive to me underpants).
New round scoring
And finally new tiles round scoring (you know the precious tiles to follow to win): points for the construction of labs, points for new sectors (that will change the dynamic of development in the game), points for new types of planets ( here too the pace of play will really be changed).
An already essential extension
With all these little additions already presented I already see this extension as essential. And the people seem really ___y to me to play. I’ll let you know as soon as we have information on the 3 other peoples and the new additions!
More and more Dutch people wear a smartwatch every day. Whether you choose a cheap Xiaomi band or an expensive Apple Watch, a smartwatch can have many advantages. In this review we look at the Amazfit Balance. A smartwatch with a luxurious appearance, many features and an attractive recommended retail price. Is the Amazfit Balance the ideal smartwatch for you?
Contents
The latest smartwatch from the manufacturer Amazfit, known for its good price/quality ratio, is available in many different colors. In this review we look at the Deep Sea (Special Edition), where the manufacturer combines a silver metal frame with blue tones and a blue silicone wristband. In addition to the Amazfit Balance, we find a black charger and a manual in the package. The Amazfit Balance is also available in the colors Woodland, Lagoon, Meadow, Sunset Gray and Midnight.
Design
When we pick up the Amazfit Balance, we immediately notice that the smartwatch is made of high-quality materials. The aluminum frame in combination with the fiber-reinforced polymer bottom shell immediately makes it clear that we are introduced to a robust product that can withstand a blow. The housing is waterproof (5 ATM), measures 46x46x10.6mm and weighs 35 grams.
It is also noticeable that the Amazfit Balance has the appearance of a traditional and luxurious watch, so you can wear the smartwatch in many circumstances. Whether you go to a meeting with a suit or simply wear a sweater during a birthday party, the Amazfit Balance is the ideal accessory.
The silver casing of the Amazfit Balance has a very light copper tint and the round screen has a blue edge. On the right side we find two buttons. You use the crown with blue detail to navigate through the interface, while you can start a workout with the push button. Our sample came with a blue silicone wristband, but if this isn’t your taste you can easily replace the wristband with another 22mm strap. This is ideal if you prefer a metal or leather wristband.
The round screen is 1.5 inches and has a resolution of 480 by 480 pixels. It is an AMOLED display with beautiful colors and deep contrast. Thanks to the maximum brightness of 1500 nits, this screen is also easy to read outdoors in sunlight. Amazfit has provided this screen with a layer of tempered glass, an anti-reflective glass edge and an anti-fingerprint coating.
Functions
It is important to know that Amazfit smartwatches do not run on Google’s Wear OS operating system, but on its own Zepp OS 3.0. As a result, the Amazfit Balance does not have the Play Store, making it not possible to install Android apps. However, Amazfit does have its own app store, with which you can download a limited number of applications and a large number of watch faces. All standard applications that you can expect on a smartwatch are of course already present on the Amazfit Balance.
Zepp App StoreZepp Watchfaces
Zepp OS 3.0 runs very smoothly and the interface is easy to operate. The screen is also very sensitive, making the user experience feel premium. You can fully control the interface with the AMOLED screen, but you can also choose to navigate the interface using the rotating crown on the side of the smartwatch. Small vibrations provide pleasant feedback when you use this crown.
A swipe to the right opens the widget interface that allows you to scroll through a list of frequently used features. This includes a music widget, a weather widget, a steps widget, a heart rate widget, an alarm widget and much more. You can adjust the layout of the widget overview yourself by pressing and holding a widget and then moving the widget down or up.
With a swipe to the left you can scroll through the most used smartwatch functions. This includes your daily activities, an overview of your heart rate rhythm, weather forecasts, your music and more. You can view incoming notifications with a swipe up and open the settings menu with a swipe down. By pressing the crown you open a list containing all installed applications and with the push button under this crown you can start a workout. You have a large number of workouts to choose from, such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, etc. It’s all self-explanatory, so you can quickly master the controls.
Of course you can also adjust the watch face. You can select a different watch face by pressing and holding the current watch face, after which you can scroll through all pre-installed watch faces.
Amazfit has equipped the Balance with various measuring instruments, including a BioTracker™ 5.0 sensor, a temperature sensor, a gyroscope and a dual-band GPS antenna. The sensors are able to constantly measure your heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen level, temperature and movements. This information is necessary to monitor your health and sports activities.
The built-in GPS antenna allows route tracking without having to take your smartphone with you. This is of course very useful when you want to run around the neighborhood. Because the antenna connects to 6 satellites simultaneously, the result is very accurate, even when you walk through streets with many tall buildings. You can look back at the routes traveled with the associated times and distances on a map and compare them with each other.
One of the biggest advantages of an Amazfit smartwatch is the long battery life. While the Apple Watch and smartwatches with Wear OS usually do not last longer than 1 to 3 days on a single battery charge, you can easily wear an Amazfit smartwatch for several weeks before the smartwatch needs to be placed on the magnetic charger again. This is no different with the Amazfit Balance. On average, the Amazfit Balance lasts more than two weeks on a battery charge. The battery life may differ per individual, depending on how active he or she is. The use of GPS tracking in particular consumes a relatively large amount of energy.
The Amazfit Balance uses Bluetooth to connect to your smartwatch. This connection is stable and we did not encounter any connection problems during our test period. It is also possible to connect the Amazfit Balance with other Bluetooth devices, such as sports accessories or a Bluetooth headset. This allows you to choose to store music offline on the internal storage space of the smartwatch and then pair the Amazfit Balance with a set of wireless earbuds. This way you can listen to music at the gym during your workout without needing your smartphone.
More and more manufacturers are incorporating AI technology into their products, including Amazfit. For example, Amazfit has introduced the Zepp Aura tool. Zepp Aura is a sleep coach/chatbot that can analyze your sleep based on smart learning models and then send you weekly/monthly overviews and give you tips that should help you get a better night’s sleep. Zepp Aura also reads your biometric data via the smartwatch and the tool uses this data to create music that should help you relax and fall asleep faster.
Zepp Aura is not a free tool, by the way. You can test Zepp Aura for two weeks, but after that a subscription is required for which you have to pay monthly. That’s why we only recommend using Zepp Aura if you have trouble sleeping.
Conclusion (Advantages/Disadvantages)
The Amazfit Balance is a beautiful watch with many possibilities. Thanks to its luxurious appearance, the smartwatch is suitable for wearing in any situation, but thanks to the many sensors and accurate GPS tracking, it is also ideal for active athletes. The bright AMOLED screen in combination with Zepp OS 3.0 works flawlessly and responds quickly. This is something that Amazfit has been doing well for years. The long battery life is one of the biggest advantages and with a recommended retail price of 249 euros, the Amazfit Balance is fairly priced.
The only downside is the lack of a major app store, such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, which limits the use of third-party apps.

Every player of Soulslikes, whether from FromSoftware or another company, you must be clear that the only truly faithful ally you have is your weapon. Allies and other items may fail, but the one you choose as your battle companion will accompany you throughout the adventure… especially if her power increases with levels and skill scaling.
The weapon system in Lies of P is essentially the same as any other Souls: each weapon has a series of statistics and its damage scales with certain abilities. For example, a greatsword with A in Motor Skill will do much more damage in the hands of a player whose level is much higher in this specific statistic. In addition, there are objects that allow us to increase the scaling, changing from B to A to increase its efficiency.
Certainly the case of Lies of P It is special, since it has a system of blades and handles that can be combined to our liking to create a quite peculiar variety of weapons. The only restriction is legendary weapons, which only allow scaling and leveling up through certain special items.
P’s adventure has in store for us 11 special or legendary weapons that we can achieve throughout the adventure… although we must do things well. The process is fairly intuitive for Souls fans, but comes too late for less versed players.
Lies of P Legendary Weapons: treasures worth adding to our collection
Legendary weapons have three conditions: they cannot be disassembled, they can be upgraded, and they have special Fable (blue) attacks. The “legendary” in their name is not for decoration and means that their scaling is usually much higher, making them (generally) the best weapons in the video game… depending on your play style.
And how do we access them? The merchant who sells them to us takes a while to arrive and it is possible to miss it. His name is Alidoro and is found in Act 4, specifically in the Stargazer called the Library of the Cathedral of San Frangelico. Look for the elevator, guarded by a creep, and go up to the balcony. It will be there for sure, since it will be your first interaction with the NPC. The most comfortable thing is to invite him to the Hotel, but you can also refuse and look for him at different points as you go. It has its own quest thread.
All legendary weapons can be obtained during the first game, but it will not be an easy task and will require you to make a great sacrifice. From the list, 10 weapons are obtained by defeating final bosses (with the Ergos that bear their names, which are the souls of Dark Souls) and the remaining one performing a specific action throughout the entire game. If you fail once, you’ll be damned.
Now that you know the basics about legendary weapons, I’ll tell you how to get them, their scaling characteristics, and what you have to give up to get them. Note that the items you leave aside for weapons can be obtained without problems during NG+. As you can see, the mechanics are similar to Dark Souls.
Seven Spiral Spring Sword
Request– Defeat the Parade Master boss (Act 1) to get the Parade Leader Ergo.
Scaling: B in Motor Skills and C in Technique.
Object to give up: Dancer Amulet. “It makes it possible to dodge even with little stamina.”
It is considered one of the best legendary weapons in the video game for Motor Skills (Strength) builds. Its scaling in B makes it easy to raise it to A so that it hits some very fat hosts. His set of movements is fast and forceful. Personally, it is my main weapon and I have carried it since the beginning. The good? It is achieved very quickly.
Label
Request– Defeat the Discarded Watcher boss (Act 2) to get the Ergo of the Broken Hero.
Scaling: D in Motor Skills and A in Technique.
Object to give up: Extreme Modification Amulet. “Increases the ATK of weapons in proportion to the number of fable slots.”
Tag is to Lies of P what the Staff is to Bloodborne. Both the weapon itself and its movement set are quite curious. She’s not especially beloved, but she’s not the worst in the game either. Even if you are not going to use it, I recommend trying it in the training area to see with your eyes how peculiar it is.
Holy Sword of the Ark
Request– Defeat the Fuoco boss, King’s Flame (Act 3) to get the King’s Flame Ergo.
Scaling: B in Motor Skills and C in Technique.
Object to give up: Conquering amulet. “Upon a successful Perfect Guard, temporarily increases the damage dealt by a weapon attack.”
We are facing the best and most versatile weapon of all the legendary ones. It is perfect for Motor builds and has a peculiarity: it can temporarily become a spear thanks to its Fable ability. So far, most Tops and lists put it as the best in its category.
Covenant Trident
Request– Defeat the boss Andreus, Fallen Archbishop (Act 4) to get the Ergo of the Twisted Angel.
Scaling: C in Motor Skills and B in Technique.
Object to give up: Amulet of the nameless. “Probability that pulse cells will not be consumed when using them.”
Its name marks the importance of this weapon among the Technical category. Although it does not raise as many passions as others, its trident shape and its abilities make it the favorite of many players. Its strong point focuses on blocking, which allows us to make a special movement to quickly return the blow.
Puppet Breaker
Request– Defeat the Puppet King boss (Act 5) to get the White Fire King Ergo.
Scaling: C in Motor Skills and B in Technique.
Object to give up: Triumvirate Amulet. “Skill level of all legion arms +1.”
Getting this steampunk scythe is not an easy thing. The Marionette King is no joke and has upset many players. Once we defeat him, we get another of the best weapons for Technique builds. His strong point is that he has a fairly varied set of movements and a brutal range due to an attack that extends a cable like a whip. His Fable attacks are a spectacle.
Frozen Feast
Request– Defeat the Champion Victor boss (Act 7) to get the Ergo of the Champion Reborn.
Scaling: B in Motor Skills and C in Technique.
Object to give up: Amulet of the Arm of God. “Temporarily increases physical damage after a successful attack.”
This greatsword is absolutely crazy both aesthetically and playable. It has a special animation that shows how it breaks (and sharpens) as we hit. It is another perfect weapon for Motor builds, although it is extremely slow. Of course, if you manage to land his “Single Cut” Fable attack, the enemy will remember you for the rest of the fight… if he survives.
Two Dragon Sword
Request– Defeat the Green Swamp Monster boss (Act 8) to get the Puppet-Eating Green Hunter’s Ergo.
Scaling: D in Motor Skills and A in Technique.
Object to give up: Ghost Walk Amulet. “Rage attacks can be dodged.”
Bluntly: the best weapon for Technique buils in all of Lies of P. It’s a katana and its scaling comes directly from A. I don’t have to tell you why it has become the undisputed favorite of many players. And is not for less! Her moveset is very fast and her Fable attacks are on another level. This weapon is one of the few that you must choose yes or yes before the amulet.
Eye of Ouroboros
Request– Defeat the boss Laxasia the Whole (Act 11) to get the Ergo of the Sad Fanatic.
Scaling: C in Motor Skills and B in Technique.
Object to give up: Amulet of Impenetrable Fortress. “Weapon durability is not affected after a block.”
If we talk about rare legendary weapons, then the Eye of Uroboros wins by a long shot. This shortened version of the well-known Bloodborne Spinning Saw is achieved in the final stages of the game. It is designed for Technique builds, although it is not among the players’ favorites at the moment. And I tell you this because her Fable abilities allow you to throw her from quite a distance to do damage over time and activate her saw to do additional damage.
Noblesse Oblige
Request– Defeat the boss Simon Manus (Act 11) to get the Ergo of the Fallen.
Scaling: A in Motor Skills and D in Technique.
Object to give up: Amulet of the Awakened God. “Increases the damage dealt by Fable Arts to a stunned enemy.”
Dark Souls veterans surely remember the infamous Club from Dark Souls. This beast is obtained by defeating what can be considered the final boss of Lies of P… and the suffering it inflicts is proportional to the suffering of the battle. His move set is slow, but I assure you that the enemy feels every blow. Their Fable abilities follow the same line: they will feel the blow even to their ancestors.
Humanity Test
Request– Defeat the Nameless Puppet boss (Act 11) to get the Nameless Puppet Ergo.
Scaling: B in Motor Skills and B in Technique.
Object to give up: Piercing Hate Amulet. “Immunity to all specific damage penalties.”
I admit that choosing the Proof of Humanity sword hurts because the Piercing Hatred amulet is a piece of candy. However, the reward is substantial. It is a light sword that scales B in both Motricity and Technique, that is to say: it is all-terrain. Her move set is quite fast and her fable arts allow us to split her in two to have dual swords.
Golden Lie
Request: Always lie in all interactions that involve choosing between telling the truth or lying. After defeating Simon Manus, you can take her from the painting that Geppetto has hanging in her Hotel study. If you can’t, it’s because you’ve told something true or you have vinyl left to listen to.
Scaling: C in Motor Skills and C in Technique.
The normal thing is not to draw the Golden Lie during the first game… unless we are compulsive liars (in the game) naturally. It is a spear with a fairly fast set of movements. His Fable skills are a visual light show.
Photos are one of the most useful applications for saving our memories. Inside there is an album that collects the most frequent faces in our photos, so that we can give them a name or a contact. Sometimes we may want to reset it to start over, so we’ll see how to reset people album on Apple Photos from iPhone.
Besides editing the photos in this app and editing the videos, we can have a much more organized photo library with very little effort.
Reset people album, step one
I recently noticed that two people from my photo album had been merged. I don’t know if this was my error or an iOS error. The case is that when it comes to hundreds of photos of each, it was not possible to remove them to reassign them. I only had one solution left: reset the People album.
To start this album from scratch, we need to follow these steps:
We open the Photos app and enter the People album.
If we have it installed, all photos of the people we have named will appear here.
Press select and choose all.
Then click Remove and confirm the dialog box that appears below.
In this dialogue, we are told what will happen when we erase everyone. Photos remain, but the data associated with their names and faces disappears. They will also disappear from any devices that we have associated with our Apple ID.
Add people to the photo album
After the faces are removed, you’ll have to wait for the iPhone to scan your photo library again. For that, leave the load (I preferred to do it by cable) and blocked. This way and without having to connect to the Internet, the device scans on the device all your photos looking for people.
As the process progresses, you will see that these photos are grouped together under the same « card » which represents a person. Obviously, you absolutely will not find all the people who appear in your photos. because it would be impossible to organize. Yes, you will find the ones that are the most repeated, about 15 or 20 people.
To add a name to each person, just put their « card » and do it at the top where it is written « Add a name ». As you write, some suggestions from your contact list will appear.
Confirm more photos of each person
You may not see all of the photos of the same person and may be missing them. The photo recognition process is slow and it may take several hours if you have a lot of photos, so it doesn’t hurt to confirm more and more photos every now and then. To do this, proceed as follows:
Enter a person’s card.
In the upper right corner, click the ellipsis.
Select to confirm other photos.
If there are more photos to confirm, iPhone will show them all with a simple yes / no test. Once completed, these photos will be attributed to the person.
Add people who are not in the original album selection
As we said, it’s possible that in the first “study” of our photos, we didn’t see all the people we would like to have in the album. For that, you have to find a photo that appears and follow this process:
Enter the photo and swipe up to see more options.
You will see that, among other things, a round thumbnail of the people in the photo is displayed.
Choose the one you are looking for and give it a name as we have seen in the previous sections.
Merge two groups of photos of the same person
Sometimes if a person has changed a lot over time, iOS can present you on two different maps. For unite them in one, simply hold your finger while pressing on one of them and slide it over the other. iOS will ask us if we want to merge the two and we will accept the option.
People-organized photo album is a great way to view your memories. When you have it ready, the iPhone will have a short video or a selection prepared with the best of them. You can save it and share it with your contacts and family groups and friends.
The TV number and the model designation of your Philips TV says a lot about its functions and properties. This information is also very important for registering your smart TV or repairing your device. Therefore, you should always have the exact information at hand. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy, since the exact meaning of the number also depends on the model.

Special feature of Philips models from 2012
What is the difference between serial and model number?
There are clear differences between a serial number and a model number. The serial number is usually abbreviated to “S/N” or “SN” and identifies exactly one item of a product. Two otherwise identical televisions have different serial numbers. In this way, the respective manufacturer can guarantee the traceability of your device.
The model number, on the other hand, generally refers to the model of your Philips TV and is assigned to all products with exactly this design. It gives you the most important information and shows the characteristics of your device, including country of manufacture, size and year of release.
Where can you find the serial and model number?
You can read the serial and model number of your Philips television on the back of your device. There you will find a label on which you can read the exact information about your television. However, if your TV is mounted on a wall and the tag is missing or just illegible, there are other ways to find out the serial and model number.
Instead, you can look at the original packaging and the user manual of your Philips TV. After you have bought the TV, you should keep an information sheet from the manufacturer. To be on the safe side, you can even take a photo of it and save it in a cloud service. This means that you can access this important information at any time and do not need to have the packaging and instructions lying around all the time.
If you’ve already thrown away your Philips TV’s original packaging and instruction manual, there is one last option to access your model number. You can also simply look in the menu settings of your smart TV instead. We will explain in detail how to do this in the following steps.
Philips TV: Find out the model number in the settings
1
You should note that your television can have very different operating systems, such as Android or Roku. On a Philips OS Android TV, start by pressing the home button on your remote control. Then click on the “Help” option at the bottom of the screen and confirm this with “OK”.
2
In the next step, click on the contact information and tap “OK” again. After that, a window should appear where you can see the TV model and serial number of your Philips TV.
3
You will then see a window in which you can read the relevant information about your Philips TV at the bottom. The model and serial number are at the top of the listing.
What does the model number mean?
An example of a Philips model number is “43PUS7334/12”. This contains more detailed information on the size, screen type and year of manufacture of your device. In the further course you will receive a detailed description of the individual components of the model number.
size and product line
The model number of your Philips TV has very specific information for you. The first two numbers, such as “43” in this example, designate the screen size in inches. In this case it would be 43 inches, the models can vary and can also be 65 or 75 inches. This is followed by the letter “P”. This refers to the division into a specific product line. In this case, the letter indicates that your device is a TV.
screen type and screen resolution
This is followed by the series of letters “US” or, in combination with the previous classification, “PUS”. Here you can find out what type of screen your television comes with. In this case, for example, it is an LED television. On the other hand, if your TV were an OLED TV, the model number would look like this: 65OLED757/12.
Depending on the model, the abbreviations can also be assigned to the screen resolution as follows: “U” stands for UHD, “H” for HD, “F” for Full HD, “M” for Mini-LED and “O” for OLED.
Type of digital tuner
The “S” that follows provides information about the digital tuner, in this case it is a DVB – T/T2/C/S/S2 type. Depending on the country of origin, there are different applicable standards for digital tuners in televisions. For example, the standard in the USA is ATSC, while in Europe it is DVB.
Series, model, and design
The other digits of your model number refer to the series “7”, to the model of the series “3” and to the draft design “3”. This information gives more precise indications of the equipment, but is of secondary importance for you as a buyer. They usually only serve as a guide for the manufacturer and to trace your television model.
Construction year
The last number “4” refers to the year of manufacture of your TV, in this case 2019. From “0” upwards, the years 2015/2025 are counted up, so the “1” stands for 2016/2026 etc. With this double meaning for the years there are clear differences.
You can compare the “7” for 2012 and for 2022 by the fact that there were no 4K televisions in 2012, for example, but instead Full HD screens. Depending on the progress of development, you can precisely classify the model number of your television.
sales region
The last two digits refer to the region where your TV is sold. “60” stands for Russia, “12” for Europe, “F7” for USA and Canada, “F8” for Mexico, “78” for Brazil, “77” for Argentina and “79” for Australia.
Special feature of Philips models from 2012
There is a special regulation regarding the model number of Philips television models, since the manufacturer has not produced any televisions itself since 2012. However, the manufacturer kept the model numbers of the devices even after the brand was licensed. If you bought a Philips TV before 2012, it is not a licensed device, but a “real” one that is still from Philips production.
If you want to replace your old Philips TV after all this information, we have prepared detailed advice for you here for buying a new Smart TV. If you have informed yourself, please take a look at our current TV deals to get a suitable bargain.

TCL is one of the brands that has opted most forcefully for LCD televisions with mini LED backlighting. I had the opportunity to try their first proposal equipped with this technology more than three and a half years ago, in January 2020. And it left me very good taste in the mouth. The image quality of that television, the X10 model, placed it at a level comparable to that of LG’s OLED C9 and Samsung’s Q90R. Big words.
I was able to test these three televisions simultaneously and in almost ideal conditions, and I was surprised by the audacity with which the X10 beat these two high-end models from Samsung and LG in some sections, such as maximum brightness delivery capacity or recovery of detail in shadow regions. The X955 model is TCL’s current flagship television, and it has inherited many of the qualities of that great X10. However, it has in its favor how much this brand’s engineers have refined its mini LED technology since then.

Its 5,000 nits are impressive, but this is not its only strong asset
At the moment this television is available in Spain in 85 and 98 inches, although an even larger version will arrive later. Its panel has been manufactured by TCL, and is a 10-bit VA type LCD matrix, with 4K UHD resolution and a frequency of 144Hz native refresh. A sheet of nanocrystals is responsible for color reproduction, which, according to this brand, is capable of covering 98% of the DCI-P3 color space. All of this sounds good, but the most impressive thing is the maximum brightness delivery capacity of this TV.
Its mini LED backlight array brings together several tens of thousands of diodes organized into 5,184 independent local dimming zones.
And TCL assures us that its backlighting system is capable of delivering peaks of 5,000 nits in a window that occupies 10% of the panel surface. This specification is impressive, but the numbers are often not supported by the actual performance of some televisions, so I am not usually intimidated by the figures. It is not the case. The images I have taken to illustrate this article do not do justice to the brightness delivery capacity of this television when it is in front of you. I assure you that it is overwhelming.
Its mini LED backlight array brings together several tens of thousands of diodes organized into 5,184 independent local dimming zones. TCL announces a 6,000:1 contrast ratio which fits well with what I have been able to perceive during this first contact. Yes, its blacks are extremely deep, not as deep as those provided by a good OLED television, which usually has a lower residual brightness, but in this section it easily rivals the best LCD televisions I have tested.
Still, its ability to recover detail in shadow regions impressed me more than the density of its blacks. The credit goes to the algorithm that is responsible for managing the mini LED backlight matrix and image processing, but the truth is that in this area this television is devastating. I would have liked to be able to try it with my own material (perhaps in the future the appropriate circumstances will arise to do so), but during this first contact it has shown me that in this area it fights head to head, for example, with the X95L of Sony, which is an outstanding LCD TV.
Its ability to recover detail in highlights (they are the most illuminated areas of each frame) does not seem as notable to me as what it offers us in the shadow regions, but here it also exhibits a high level. And when it comes to color I have nothing to object to. When the video signal it receives is up to par, this TV solve colorimetry with a lot of richness and a notable level of saturation. Nanocrystals have evolved a lot since they emerged in 2015, and the ones that TCL engineers have developed for this television are not the same ones that the X10 model had when I tested it in January 2020.
I’ve purposely saved the best for last. During this first contact, I have not been able to confirm with a spectrophotometer if it really delivers the 5,000 nit brightness peaks that TCL promises us, but I would bet that it does. It seems reasonable to question the impact that this monstrous brightness delivery capacity can have on our experience, and yes, if the contents are not up to par it is impossible to take advantage of these brightness peaks.
However, when we feed the panel with Dolby Vision content, its capacity for expression is spectacular. The realism that gives the images the possibility of delivering so much brightness in some limited regions of the panel is undoubted, which together with a very well-tuned image processing capable of minimize high frequency noise and reproducing foreground objects in great detail allows the X955 to shine. In my opinion this is one of the best mini LED LCD televisions on the market, although it is clear that its size and price put it out of the reach of most movie buffs.
There are lives that are not designed for stardom. People who At one point they got into the sidecar of fame but they quickly saw that it was not for them. and that everything would go much better for them without being recognized on the street. Among child actors there are plenty of examples, a good handful of careers cut short in the search for a better life or simply to get out of the always bloody Hollywood machine. This is the case of Benji Gregory, the boy from ‘Alf’, whom you have probably never seen again. And there is a reason for this: His life has not exactly been a bed of roses.
Alf finally got it
Benji Gregory was born on April 26, 1978 (to understand us: he is already 45 years old) in Los Angeles, California. His grandmother was a representative, a large part of her family was dedicated to acting and she was born with good genes: The road to the family business was practically paved. He did a good handful of commercials (for example, for McNuggets) and soon had his first opportunity in ‘Punky Brewster’.
In fact, the two episodes in which he appeared, ‘Fenster Hall’, were really an attempt at a pilot for a series which would take place in an orphanage and would have occasional appearances by Punky (Soleil Moon-Frye). The series did not continue and Gregory continued playing occasional roles in ‘Amazing Tales’ or ‘The Twilight Zone’ before moving on the casting of a series that would become a true cult in the United States: ‘Alf’.
‘Alf’ lasted four seasons and just over 100 episodes, and along the way had two animated spin-offs, a Marvel comic that ran more than 50 issues, video games, a talk show and even a terrible movie that closed the saga. However, behind the cameras the atmosphere was not friendly at all: Alf’s doll was constantly breaking, The actors were tired of a piece of plush getting the best gags and Max Wright (Willie in the series) was on the verge of quitting on more than one occasion. The perfect film set for an eight-year-old boy.
Less bad it’s over
Brian Tanner, the boy of the family, conquered everyone. His half-mischievous, half-innocent smile was captivating, and his friendship with the alien Melmac was hilarious. But the cast didn’t even get along well, and no one has good memories of that stage. In fact, after the last shot of the last episode, Wright grabbed his things and left without even saying goodbye. That was the level. The end of filming party was an entelechy.
That It was described as “a large dysfunctional family” in which Benji Gregory had fallen. And he got his share of it, of course: in addition to putting up with fights (Wright once physically attacked Alf’s doll), he was forced to look stupid in interviews. saying that Alf was a real alien and no one moved him. It is not surprising that, despite the fact that he was pursuing a parallel career, at the age of twelve he was already fed up with fame.
Gregory had a small role in the movie ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ and in series like ‘Murphy Brown’ or providing voices in animated series like ‘Back to the Future’ or ‘Pound Puppies’. In the end, it burned so much in such a short time that with his vocal role in the cartoon film ‘The Colored Forest’ he decided that Hollywood was good enough and put an end to his career. At 15, he had already had enough fame to last twenty lifetimes. “When ‘Alf’ was canceled it was a relief. I didn’t want to do more series, but I don’t regret anything,” she commented some time later.
alf army
In 2003, ten years after giving up audiovisual work and four years after getting married and enrolling in the San Francisco Academy of Art, Benji Gregory joined the military as an airbrusher, a branch dedicated to analyzing meteorological and oceanographic data. By then I already had insomniaso the night shifts I had to do flew by.
But when they transferred him to the kitchen, ended up clinically depressed and with aggravated insomnia What he did to him began to fail in his duty. Ultimately, in 2005, he was honorably discharged from the Army for medical reasons, which included bipolar disorder. And since then, Little else has been known about the former child actorbeyond the fact that he had to deal with drugs of all kinds from which he ended up detoxifying several years later.
We know thanks to his unglamorous Instagram, where he barely has 1000 followers, that sign autographs for free (although he asks that they not send him photos or he will throw them directly in the trash), he would not mind reprising his role as Brian Tanner in a reboot of ‘Alf’ and, although his mental health has improved, He still spends days and days without being able to fall asleep. Will you ever return to acting? At the moment, she claims that she is doing some work, but there is no more information out there. Who knows, maybe there is a Melmac series waiting for you…
The Last Faith is a brutal combination of Castlevania and Bloodborne. It combines the unforgiving gameplay of the Soulsborne games with an exploration of the Castlevania games. This game sends you against hordes of enemies, and you can only rely on yourself and your trusty weapons to defend yourself.

The Last Faith: full list of weapons
There are 13 weapons in the game, and each of them has its ups and downs. You can upgrade them, but I would recommend unlocking all the weapons and then, during replays, choosing the best one for each situation. The weapons in Last Faith are as follows, in unlock order:
Blade of Nightfall
Skull Cutter
Nighttide’s rout
Gaff Blade
Great Ethereal Blade
Macewhip storm chaser
Spinal Chain Blade
Indemnity Reaper
Illygrarth’s Boreal Blade
Firestrike Blade
Holy Winged Ax
The Devourer of the Betrayed
The blood rift
Blade of Nightfall
The Twilight Blade is your first weapon, and you will get it at the start of the campaign. It’s a simple short blade with no stats that excels. Nevertheless, it is very practical in close combat situations.
Skull Cutter
Now for the big hitters. SkullCleaver is a slow but powerful weapon. This weapon is found in the Broken pass area. If you like slow weapons that deal a lot of damage in one powerful hit, this weapon is good for you.
Nighttide’s rout
Remember how much the Belmonts loved using whips in Castlevania? This weapon is an obvious homage to that. This whip-like weapon is found in the City of Mythringal. Although it doesn’t have a great damage value, Nighttide Rout’s range is excellent and it comes in very handy against flying type enemies.
Gaff Blade
The Blunderblade and Nightfall Blade are two very similar short weapons. After saving the blacksmith in the City of Mythringal, you can buy the weapon from him. Blunderblade isn’t very distinctive, except for the ability to knock back during a combo.
Great Ethereal Blade
This name sounds mean, and for good reason. This blade is one of the best weapons the game has to offer. Relative to its size, it is long, fast, and deals high damage. The article is available in the Drowned Crypt area of the map. Upgrade the Great Ethereal Blade at the highest level until the very end is something I highly recommend.
Macewhip storm chaser
As the name suggests, this weapon is a combination of a mace and a whip. We already have a whip-like weapon, Nighttide’s Rout. However, unlike Rout, Stormchaser is a hard-hitting weapon with excellent damage stats. This will be useful in the middle of the game. To find this weapon you need to explore the Esk Manor.
Spinal Chain Blade
Another amazing weapon that can be found in the middle of the game is the Spinal Chain Blade. It has range, a respectable attack bonus, and a special move that deals damage similar to a dark spell. You can grab the weapon in the Liturgical Pass.
Indemnity Reaper
This is another weapon of the highest class in the game. It resembles a scythe and has great combo ability, high speed, and great range. The latter is also very useful against certain flying enemies in the middle of the game. You will find the Reaper in the Damned Ruins of Osseus Fortress.
Illygrarth’s Boreal Blade
The Illygrath Boreal Blade is another solid steel blade that you should have in your collection. It functions like any other blade in the game, but what makes it unique is its Frozen enchantment, which allows you to stun your opponents and move them in combat. After defeating the boss Starlight Beast in Moonshade Lakeyou can get the weapon back.
Firestrike Blade
The name of this weapon is quite evocative. The Firestriker Blade has two attack modes, both involving elements of fire. With the first you can use the blade as a flamethrower, and with the second you can shoot a wave of fire forward. Both are extremely powerful and equally deadly against stronger opponents. Later in the game, the blacksmith will sell you the weapon for Nycrux.
Holy Winged Ax
In the late game, the Holy Winged Ax is a decent weapon. Moves like the simultaneous forward and backward dash and Frost enchantment attacks are among the highlights. However, given its lack of range and damage output compared to other endgame weapons, it is inferior to other endgame weapons. You can discover the Sacred Winged Ax by exploring the Gardens of the reigning palace.
The Devourer of the Betrayed
That’s a really cool name for a weapon. However, the weapon itself doesn’t live up to its name. The Devourer of the Betrayed is a dark enchantment sword that resembles a katana. He’s pretty fast and handles dark style attacks, but other than that he’s nothing special. You can find this katana in the Mythringal Crypt Skull Areas.
The blood rift
Without a doubt, the best weapon in the game is the Blood Rift. It is the highest damage weapon, capable of dealing up to 900 damage in a single hit if upgraded to maximum level. Additionally, it is a very vicious weapon due to the blood type enchantment and AOE style attacks. After filling out the four chalices of blood in the cursed ruins of Osseus Fortressyou can get this weapon.

Coral Island Harvest Festival
The holidays are days of celebration. There are various things to celebrate on Coral Island, and festival themes range from seasonal changes to environmental activities. Each season has two festivals and you will receive notifications a few days before. Although you are not required to attend festivals, we highly recommend that you do so. Festivals are a great opportunity to learn more about the people and culture of Coral Island.
When does the harvest festival start?
The Harvest Festival is the first festival in autumnand it starts on 15th day of autumn. On Fall 5, the player will receive an invitation letter to the Harvest Festival. The letter contains the time and location of the festival as well as some details about the festival’s exhibition competition.
Where does the harvest festival take place?
The Coral Island Harvest Festival takes place on Alun-Alun Squareon the east side of the lake, the same area that hosted the cherry blossom festival. Likewise, it begins with a interaction with the Harvest Festival balloon. Just make sure you’re there after 7:00 p.m.otherwise you won’t be able to trigger the event.
What is at the Harvest Festival?
Opposite the Pufferfish stand at the top of the map is a Harvest Festival Stand. There are several things on sale, like seeds and fertilizers, and you can get them at discounted prices.
The harvest display competition
By putting their agricultural products in the empty crates on the far right of Alun-Alun squareplayers can enter the Harvest display competition. The player should remember to take back the goods before leaving, as they are not automatically returned after the festival.
To calculate the player’s final score, there are several categories by which the product collection is judged, such as starting price of each item and the quality of each element. To choose a winner and the prizes they will receive, this score is then compared with to the score of a competing farmer for his show.
Apple pumping
In the massif washhouse to the left of the huge chicken, the player can start an Apple Bobbing game. The goal is simple: eat so many apples as you can during avoid bad apples and their stunning effects on players. The first prize is an apple tree plant.
Crushing Pumpkin
No, it’s not the band’s concert. It’s much more literal. A Smashing Pumpkin game can be launched at registration office at the lake, to the left of the Alun-Alun square sign. Smash as many pumpkins as possible to earn as many points as possible before time runs out. Combinations are obtained when many pumpkins are crushed successively. Avoid rotten pumpkins as they break combos and deduct points from the player.

Teufel Ultima 25 Active in the sound test
Four sound modes plus dynamores
Test conclusion Teufel Ultima 25 Active
With the new Teufel Ultima 25 Aktiv, the manufacturer from Berlin is bringing real universal talents onto the market. This equipment and playback options may even be unique; the stereo speakers play music from all conceivable sources, reproduce television sound and even receive it radio. And the whole thing is available for a decent price Sound bar. With so many talents at an affordable price, the only question that remains is whether the Teufel Ultima 25 Aktiv do their job well. The detailed test from SamaGame provides the answer.
Teufel Ultima 25 Active with HDMI, radio & Bluetooth
What at first glance seems like a completely normal couple Stereo speakers looks like, turns out to be much more at second glance. At 37 centimeters high and 22 centimeters wide, the Teufel Ultima 25 Aktiv are not particularly compact, but with a depth of 25 centimeters they fit on any standard shelf, or better yet, on sideboards. The black plastic surface looks practical; the Ultima 25 Aktiv is also available in white. A small display at the bottom of one of the two speakers as well as buttons to the right and left of it suggest that the speakers are not entirely ordinary. The back confirms this with numerous connections:
Aux In: In principle, anything that has an analog stereo output can be connected to the stereo input in the form of two RCA sockets, from a CD player to a mixer.
Optical In: The optical digital input is suitable, for example, for streaming players or for old TV sets without HDMI.
HDMI: Most people have digital AV connections TV the appropriate output (HDMI ARC). Advantage over the optical connection: Here the volume can be adjusted using the TV remote control.
USB: The USB-C port is intended for computers; the Teufel Ultima 25 Active can then be selected as an external audio device under Windows. The input digests a maximum of 16 bits and 48 kHz, the playback software usually adjusts to this automatically. The speakers didn’t work on the Mac at the time of testing.
DAB+/FM: A receiver for digital radio (DAB+) and VHF (FM) is built into the box. Reception works in many places with the included antenna wire; alternatively, an indoor or outdoor antenna can be connected.
Bluetooth: Smartphones and tablets can contribute their audio program via the radio interface. The aptX and AAC sound formats minimize radio-related sound losses.
Two connection terminals establish the connection to the second box, which has no other connections apart from a corresponding pair of terminals. Teufel supplies a 3 meter long cable; if necessary, a shorter or longer, commercially available loudspeaker cable can be used. Which box is on the right and which on the left can be selected in the settings menu.
Versatile and expandable
The settings menu of the Teufel Ultima 25 Aktiv also offers a number of useful options: The sound can be adjusted in bass and treble, and the radio station search is also carried out there. For optimal interaction with televisions The sound delay can be adjusted to match the image so that lip movements can actually be seen in sync with the speech. There are also expansion options in the menu: The speakers can be paired with Teufel subwoofers (from 300 euros) and also with the Teufel Effect 2 surround speakers (400 euros per pair). The most common surround methods are available with Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic.
Simply swipe over the box
There are buttons on the included remote control for important settings such as display brightness and sound. It serves its purpose, but it is rarely necessary in everyday use – because music selection and volume adjustment are done on the player, be it the television, smartphone or PC. In addition, there is a painted line on the left Teufel box with touch sensors underneath. You can quickly change the music title or station with a tap of your finger and adjust the volume up or down with a swipe of your finger.
Teufel Ultima 25 Active in the sound test
Teufel has provided the Ultima 25 Aktiv with comparatively large woofer speakers; hardly any competitor in this price range has a diameter of 16 centimeters. Together with the impressive dimensions, this results in a remarkable richness of sound – the speakers sound really big and stately. This can seem a bit full, especially near the wall, but reducing the bass by two levels tames the oomph. The sound always remains warm and pleasant, which is an advantage in modern living rooms with wooden floors instead of carpets, as well as for mediocrely produced music. The Ultima 25 Aktiv, which is designed in a similar way, is not a miracle of resolution Heco Aurora 200 P for example, more details can be heard.
Four sound modes plus dynamores
The Ultima 25 Active still makes the sound advantage of direct digital playback of uncompressed music via USB-C easily audible. Because you rarely hear it so crisp and clean in this price range. In Film mode there is some extra boost in the low bass range as well as slightly shinier highs, although this sounds a bit cool. The “Speech” mode puts dialogues in the foreground without imposing a distorted sound on them. This is even clearer with the “Dynamore Virtual Center” setting, which can sound exhausting. Night mode tames bass, dynamics and annoyances with the neighbors. If you want it to sound as good as possible, music mode is clearly the best choice – regardless of the sound source.
Test conclusion Teufel Ultima 25 Active
The Teufel Ultima 25 Aktiv offers powerful and voluminous sound at a fair price and unique features on top of that. With the HDMI connection, the stereo speakers compete with soundbars, which, however, have no chance in terms of sound quality. The built-in radio is very welcome for everyday use, otherwise there are very good options for playing music with Bluetooth and USB. The operation via swipe and tap and the display with plain text are also unparalleled in this price range.

Aldi Talk annual packages: The tariff details
The newly launched Aldi Talk annual tariffs build on the attractive price-performance ratio of previous offers without completely reinventing the offer. As before, there are three packages to choose from: XS, S and L with now 20 instead of 15 gigabytes (GB), 80 instead of 60 GB and 160 instead of 120 GB of data volume. All come with an all-net flat rate for all German networks, EU roaming and unlimited SMS sending. The Aldi talk-Annual packages rely on O2’s 5G network for the first time with download speeds of up to 50 megabits per second (Mbps). The upload speed is 25 Mbps. The data volume is fully available from the start and can be freely divided over the term. If it is used up beforehand, it continues at a snail’s pace. However, fresh data volume can be activated using a surf ticket. The prices remain largely stable, only the smallest package is 10 euros more expensive: the XS package now costs 69.99 instead of 59.99 euros, and the S package still costs 99.99 euros. The annual package L costs 149 euros again. Tip: During the promotional period, the “Annual Package Bonus” is available to you once in the Aldi Talk app under “Options”. It increases the data volume free of charge. How many gigabytes is shown in the overview.
The three Aldi Talk annual packages only differ in terms of data volume and price (all-net flat rate and unlimited SMS are always included). SamaGame has calculated how much you spend on a monthly basis and what you get in return. With the XS annual package, you pay around 6 euros per month and essentially receive 1.66 gigabytes of data volume twelve times. Other providers (such as Sim.de and simplytel) often offer 5 GB of data volume and an all-net flat rate for the same price. For the annual package S, the average monthly price is around 8 euros for 6.66 GB of data volume per month. Compared to the network operator tariffs, Aldi Talk is still cheaper here, but brands like BlackSIM or WinSIM undercut the Aldi Talk offer. The L package provides users with an average of 13.3 GB per month for around 12 euros; Here, too, you can sometimes get similar or better deals at Sim.de, WinSIM & Co. Aldi Talk’s unique selling point, which the mentioned competitors lack: the 5G standard. As an Aldi Talk app user, you can improve the price-performance ratio even further by unlocking additional data volume for free.
Assessment: Aldi Talk annual packages
Until now, the Aldi Talk annual packages were considered to be cheap and solid cell phone tariffs for everyone who would describe themselves as light or normal users. The data volume was too little for power users and the surfing speed was too slow. The classification remains unchanged, although the adjustments such as 5G and more data volume are definitely commendable. However, the competition doesn’t sleep: Telekom has an annual tariff with unthrottled 5G support for around 100 euros, i.e. a really fast tariff in the good D1 network. O2 offers a similar offer to Aldi Talk with the XS package – a little more expensive, but with Turbo LTE. And if you can do without the convenient annual tariff concept with a one-off payment, you will receive comparable or sometimes even better tariff services from Drillisch (Sim.de, WinSIM & Co.).
