    Best Rings for a Melee Build in Deathbound
    Gear in Deathbound has a pretty big impact. You really only have three slots for Gear in this game, despite technically playing as 7 characters at all times. You get two slots for Rings, and an Artefact Slot, and that's all of your gear. So, picking the right Ring is pretty important in this Soulslike game, even more so when you take the Mystic and Ancient Upgrade Effects into consideration. To elaborate, you essentially have two different 'paths' you can go down with each Artefact or Ring in Deathbound.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions reveals Triwizard school pitches
    Calling all students of Beauxbatons, Hogwarts and Durmstrang! We are excited to reveal the Triwizard Quidditch Cup in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.Play VideoFeaturing the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and Durmstrang Institute for Magical Learning, the Triwizard Quidditch Cup will be included in the games Career mode. This tournament marks the first adaptation of the iconic international schools from the wizarding world. We could not be more excited to show off this exclusive look at the pitches and give some insight into what players can expect to see when the game launches digitally September 3 on PS5 and PS4. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be available at no extra charge for all PlayStation Plus members as a Monthly Game from Sept 3 to Sept 30!We knew from the beginning that we wanted to leverage the fact that Quidditch Champions is not limited to Hogwarts, or locations we have seen in the films. Quidditch is an international sport enjoyed by witches and wizards worldwide, and it is natural for students of every wizarding school to play the sport in their own unique way.While progressing through the games Career mode, players eventually reach the Triwizard Quidditch Cup where they select one of the three international schools to represent in the cup. Players may choose to represent Hogwarts, where they line up next to the schools very best such as Cedric Diggory, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. When competing against Beauxbatons, players may find themselves in a high-speed chase for the Golden Snitch next to Fleur Delacour. While in a high intensity match against Durmstrang, players should be sure to watch out for Viktor Krum, who was skilled enough to play as a Seeker for the Bulgarian National team at 19 in the World Cup Finals no less.Of course, a large part of the inspiration came directly from the Goblet of Fire film, which gives us the only visual glimpse into the students and cultures of two of the greatest magical schools in Europe. It left us wondering, how would students from these schools approach Quidditch? We imagined Beauxbatons students on finely crafted brooms, flying with perfect form and showmanship over a beautifully manicured pitch, and the students of Durmstrang running drills on sturdy brooms in harsh conditions.Beauxbatons Academy of Magic sits among the Pyrenees mountains in the south of France. The descriptions of the ice sculptures and fountains in the school bring to mind Baroque architecture and gardens. The grass is perfectly manicured, surrounded by reflecting pools, and the audience views the sport from elaborate and ornate stands.By contrast, Durmstrang Institute is located in the far northern reaches of Europe. Contrasting the scenic daytime weather of Beauxbatons, we set Durmstrangs pitch at night, under the light of aurora borealis. Viking-inspired architecture can be seen surrounding the pitch, with minimal flames to preserve the secrecy of the school. The pitch itself is a way off from the school for the same reason, and the iconic ship the students use to travel is docked beside the pitch, which is surrounded by water. The surface of the pitch is frozen-over black stone, ensuring that athletes who fall off their broom learn from every mistake.We cant wait for players to experience the Triwizard Quidditch Cup in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions when it launches September 3 on PS5 and PS4.

    Families Renew Their Connections to Nature at the Al Suave House
    Unfolding along the Pacific Ocean, the five bedroom villa is as much a boon to El Salvadors tourism industry as it is the idea of spending quality time with your next of kin. The Al Suave House in Playa El Zonte can only be booked for a minimum of seven nights, which means that any large family or groups of friends that stay here are compelled to truly spend quality time together. Working out their problems, reestablishing bonds, and of course, enjoying some much-needed rest and relaxation is aided by the fact that this carefully planned indoor/outdoor home sits right along El Salvadors mostly undiscovered and unadulterated Pacific coastline; one revered by those in the know for its particularly good surfing conditions. Activities abound within and outside this expansive beach villa.Designed by Jos Roberto Paredes, founder of El Salvadorian and Spanish architectural firm Cincopatasalgato, and Paula Cabrera Gil of Pepe Cabrera Homes, the house cuts a unique figure as it makes the most of its tightly hemmed-in site. Massing along the propertys perimeter, a meandering river-like pool splits the structure in half as it heads out toward the ocean.Lofted volumes look inwards toward this central feature. In true tropical architecture fashion, this programmatic strategy allows natural breezes to filter through unobstructed, eliminating the need for especially energy-inefficient and environmentally harmful air conditioning.The overall design defined by gently sloped roofs and undulating open latticed fin facades evokes the surrounding nature. For this site-responsive motif, rendered in raw untreated wood, Paredes and his team drew inspiration from the fenced pathways that lead to the beach. Though boldly geometric in plan, the homes massing organically nestles into its surroundings from an elevation standpoint. Its outer structural shells, almost all glass, anchor enclosed inserts, which contain the sprawling interiors.Ground level operable walls completely open up, forming a seamless connection from indoor entertainment, kitchen, and dining areas to outdoor patios, rock gardens, and of course, the crashing ocean waves in the near distance.We really took our time to speak with the clients family, including the children, to truly grasp what was important to them, says Paredes. The result of this highly personal approach to design is a unique dwelling that resonates with the spirit of Playa El Zonte. Its a tropical haven where the essence of community, family, and exploration thrives. The property is shared by the homeowners and vacationers at different times of the year.Dynamically divided into an elongated pavilion with five en suite bedrooms sleeping a total of 12 on one side and another pavilion with double-height common areas, the home also incorporates a media room, childrens pavilion, and outdoor showers. Al Suave House, or Casa Al Suave is a particularly chill home that allows its guests to wake up every morning to the sound of the waves and views of the sea from every corner of the house, Cabrera Gil says.What: Al Suave HouseWhere: Playa El Zonte, El SalvadorHow much: Starting at $2,000 per night with a 7 night minimumDesign draw: Offering rest and relaxation with a carefully planned indoor/outdoor design, Al Suave House features a meandering river-like pool that splits the structure in half as it heads out toward the ocean.

    This Water Flosser Is Less Than Half the Price of an Oral-B
    If you're not a fan of the regular string flosswho really is?you might want to check out the Nicwell Water Dental Flosser, now at $27.99, down from $49.99. For an extra dollar or two, you can also get it in cute colors like pink and blue.Heres what you get in the package: three standard jet tips, a tongue scraper, and a brush tip for those with braces or dental implants. When it comes to operation, you can choose from four modes: normal, soft, pulse, and custom. The normal mode, although supposed to have standard pressure, has been reported by some reviewers to be quite strong and splashy. If you have sensitive gums, you should probably stay away from this mode and set your preferred pressure in the custom mode. A handy tip: always press the on button after placing the tip inside your mouth to avoid unexpected splashes.As for battery life, this waterproof flosser claims to last up to two weeks on a full charge and only takes about four hours to recharge. One user mentioned they used it twice a day and still got a weeks worth of use from a full charge. A couple of users also noted some issues with the tank's cover attachment, especially the hinge feeling a bit loose and flimsy. When comparing the Nicwell Water Dental Flosser to the Oral-B Advanced Cordless Water Flosser, theyre appeared pretty similar overall, especially with their cordless design and portability. Both come with multiple nozzle attachments, but Nicwell gives you more options with five tips compared to Oral-B's two. Theyre both waterproof and have a decent water reservoir. Youll find multiple flossing modes on both; Oral-B's modes are pre-set, while Nicwell lets you customize the pressure completely. Nicwell is a budget-friendly option at $27.99 (down from $49.99), while Oral-B, with similar features, is pricier at $73.58 (originally $89.99).

    A robotics company has 3D printed nearly a hundred homes in Texas
    Its taken almost two years but a planned community of homes made with a gigantic 3D printer in Georgetown, Texas is almost complete.Reuters reports that the homes, which are part of a community called Wolf Ranch, are being built with a large 3D printer called the Vulcan thats 45 feet wide and weighs more than 4.75 tons. The project is part of a joint venture with the 3D printing construction developer ICON and the home construction company Lennar. It started in November of 2022 and crews are close to completing its goal of building 100 homes with the Vulcan by the end of the summer. Homeowners have already started moving into some of the completed 3D printed homes that range in price from $450,000 to $600,000. More than a quarter of the homes have been sold.ICONICONs 3D printer uses a mixture of concrete powder, water, sand and other materials to lay out stacks of tube-shaped concrete to construct walls and eventually a whole house. The homes are single-story dwellings with three to four bedrooms that take around three weeks to print. The foundation and metal roofs are made the old-fashioned way with human crews.Once printed, the walls look like giant stretches of corduroy, but they are designed to be resilient and sustainable even in extreme weather. They are also water resistant and energy efficient. The contemporary ranch-style designs for the houses were provided by the architectural firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, according to an ICON press release. The construction process has also been streamlined over the course of the project. ICON senior project manager Conner Jenkins told Reuters that construction started with five different building crews but its since been whittled down to just one crew and one robot printer.The only downside is the thickness of the walls interferes with WiFi signals. Residents have had to use mesh internet routers with broadcast signals located throughout the home instead of just a single router.ICON isnt just using its large scale 3D printer to make homes on Earth. NASA is reportedly interested in using the technology to build structures on the moon for its Artemis Moon exploration program scheduled to launch its first crew in September 2025.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/home/a-robotics-company-has-3d-printed-nearly-a-hundred-homes-in-texas-225830931.html?src=rss
