Following last year's strong showing for Silent Hill, we'll soon learn more about what's next for the horror franchise. Konami has revealed a Silent Hill Transmission--the name it gives to its virtual showcases centered on the series--is coming this Thursday, March 13 at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET. The video will focus on Silent Hill f, the next mainline game in the series.Silent Hill f was revealed in 2022, but we've not seen it since that day. That was when we saw a teaser trailer debut alongside several other Silent Hill projects, such as the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill: Townfall, which is still in development from No Code. Based on the wording of Konami's tweet, it doesn't seem like any other games will be mentioned during the showcase.Silent Hill f's flowery imagery is memorable, and soon it may be placed in a clearer context.Last we'd heard, the oddly named Silent Hill f was in development from Neobards, a studio with experience supporting Resident Evil games, including the remakes for Resident Evil 2 and 3, as well as Resident Evil 7 and its multiplayer mode, ReVerse. The game's story will be penned by famed Japanese writer Ryukishi07, the author of the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Caldarus, the dragon that helps you out around Mistria, has been teased as a romanceable candidate since Fields of Mistrias launch, and now you can finally start to woo him, kind of. As part of the 1.3 update, you can unlock Caldarus romanceable form, allowing you to visit him and give him gifts.The spoiler-free tl;dr is that you need to hit the 60th floor of the mines and interact with the tablet, which will kick off a quest chain that results in him appearing, but we flesh out the steps more below, so beware of light spoilers.How to unlock romanceable Caldarus If youre jumping into the 1.3 update on an existing save file with most of the older content done, you shouldnt have to worry about playing too much catch-up. You may notice quests from Adeline and the others come in, but you dont have to really pay attention to them, as they are not required for unlocking Caldarus.The quest itself is pretty self-explanatory with the NPCs walking you along the steps, but if youre not quite there yet and want to know what items youll need to expedite the process, here are the steps to unlock Caldarus new form:Get to the 60th floor of the mines and interact with the tablet to start the Breaking the Fire Seal questline.Talk to Juniper to start deciphering the tablet, following the quest line with Balor. Youll need to wait a few in-game days for Balor to find what you need.Provide Balor with the necessary materials to proceed (1o sapphires, 10 rubies, 10 emeralds, and 10 iron ingots) to get the sealing scroll.Give the four required materials (one emerald, one rockroot, one faceted rock gem, and the sealing scroll) to the fire shrine.After the cutscene, head to The Eastern Road and make sure you have your axe with you.As instructed during the cutscene, use the Dragons Breath spell on the vines blocking the area in the northeast.Head through the newly opened area to access The Deep Woods.From the entrance to The Deep Woods, head right and chop the tree stump (requires at least a copper axe) blocking the way.Follow the path to head to Caldarus home and talk to him inside.In our playthrough, Caldarus was immediately a six-heart relationship (which is the max, as of 1.3), but the patch notes for the 1.3 update says that his heart levels will now increase as intended with key story points, so you may have less hearts with him depending on your story progress.After going through this questline, you can use the Caldarus statue on your farm to teleport straight to his domain in exchange for 10 essence, which isnt too shabby of a deal.Caldarus also becomes an eligible invitable NPC for the Shooting Star Festival, so long as you have his human form unlocked.

Software updates are supposed to introduce new features while improving the stability of the operating system. Occasionally, however, additional bugs and glitches can slip through the cracks. That's the case with the latest Pixel update: While Google added a number of new features to Android and patched 43 security vulnerabilities, users who have installed it are complaining of strange glitches on their Pixel phones. March 2025 Pixel drop glitches: Brightness, vibrations, and moreFirst up, as spotted by 9to5Google, some Pixel users are experiencing brightness variations while using their phoneswithout touching the brightness settings themselves. The issue seems to be limited to video playback, where the brightness will dip or flicker at random. This user reports it happens in just about every video app they use, including Netflix, Prime Video, VLC, or Google's built-in player. 9to5Google confirmed the bug on a Pixel 9, though the brightness glitch happened inconsistently.In addition to this brightness glitch, you may also experience changes with your device's vibrations. This thread represents a wide range of experiences with the issue: Some users are complaining that haptics are much stronger than they were before the update, with one user describing the change as a "spring instead of a thump." On the other hand, another user says the vibrations of their Pixel are now weaker than they were before. Regardless, many seem to feel vibrations are "different" following the update. These are the bugs that have made the most buzz on forums since the Pixel Drop. However, there could be other issues that aren't quite as widespread. One r/GooglePixel user rounded up the bugs they've experienced so far, and, in addition to the brightness bug, they're also experiencing audio issues, including an issue with EQ settings, and a problem where song volume is much louder than video volume. That last point would make it quite annoying to jump between, say, Spotify and Netflix: Stranger Things will launch too quiet, and will make your brightness go berserk. How to fix the brightness glitch on Pixel phonesWhile Google is likely working on patches for the biggest bugs from the latest Pixel drop, there's currently a workaround for the brightness glitch: drop your phone's refresh rate. It appears that flickering and dimming problems only occur at this time when watching videos with 120Hz. Drop the refresh rate to 60Hz, and the brightness issues appear to dissipate. To change the refresh rate, head to Settings > Display, then disable the toggle next to Smooth Display.

While a "no-buy month" isn't anywhere in my future, I do stick to certain minimalist rules to keep my finances on trackspecifically, the "one in, one out" method. Lifehacker's household expert Lindsey Ellefson recently covered this method for decluttering your homes. When you bring in a new shirt, an old one leaves your closet. I've found this principle works just as well when applied to personal finances. The concept is beautifully simple: Whenever I plan to purchase something new, I commit to selling something of equivalent value that I already own. Unlike traditional budgeting methods that focus solely on limiting purchases, this approach acknowledges our natural desire for new things while creating a healthy friction that forces me to ask: "Is this new item worth parting with something I already have?" How to decide what becomes the "one in"When I first tried out the "one in, one out" method, I noticed an immediate shift in my purchasing behavior. The extra step of identifying something to sell made me pause and consider each purchase more carefully.I found myself asking better questions:Do I really need this new item?Is it worth the effort of selling something else?What do I own that no longer serves me well?This simple mental exercise eliminated most impulse purchases. When I truly want something, I'm willing to part with something else. When I don't, the barrier of finding something to sell is enough to make me reconsider. In other words, I get all the benefits of a "no-buy" period, but avoid all the strictness that makes that method so tough.How to make the most of the "one out"Once you decide something is worth bringing into your life, it's time to decide what is getting the boot. I'm a huge fan of using online spaces like Facebook Marketplace. Here are some tips for actually making a profit on this hub. Research before pricingBefore listing anything, I search for similar items to understand the market rate. I often find that items I considered nearly worthless actually hold considerable value to the right buyer.Quality photography makes a differenceClear, well-lit photos from multiple angles significantly increase interest and selling price. I always make sure to capture any unique features or details that set my items apart.Timing mattersSeasonal items sell best in their respective seasons. Exercise equipment sells well in January, outdoor items in spring, and holiday decorations a month before the holiday.And for higher-value items, patience pays off. I've learned not to accept the first offer; waiting a few days often brings better offers from serious buyersBundle related itemsI've found that bundling related items often commands a higher total price than selling individually, while reducing the number of meetups.The bottom lineThis method has also revealed which possessions truly enhance my life. When I'm reluctant to part with something, it signals that item's importance to me. Conversely, easily identifying items to sell highlights where I've made purchasing mistakes in the past.Like with any new habit, start smallperhaps with a single category like clothing or kitchen gadgets. As you build confidence, expand to other areas of spending. Soon, you'll find yourself naturally weighing each purchase against what you already own. Each purchase now requires intentionality. When I buy something new, I've already created space for itboth physically and financially.
