There are plenty of creative ways to take care of enemies in a game as boundless as Minecraft, but one incredibly lucky interaction shared by one fan online proves that it's possible to kill bosses like the Wither using a wild dolphin. This might take the cake when it comes to one of the most unorthodox ways to finish off one of Minecraft's bosses, despite fans using plenty of strange methods in the past, ranging from explosive beds to traps that suffocate them with bedrock blocks. #rare #minecraft #moment #shows #dolphin

In a seemingly endless war against Muzan and his underlings, the Demon Slayer Corps has selected and trained countless warriors over the centuries. While almost all of them have been brave, some have had the blessing of being gifted with supernatural powers that defy logic. Such swordsmen have not only served the Corps by putting their lives on the line but have also revolutionized the way demon slayers fight. #demon #slayer #this #overlooked #hashira

Android 16 update reveals the sinister reality of covert surveillance methods, but guess what? It only does so under restrictive conditions! This is an absolute disgrace! Instead of empowering users with full transparency, they throw us breadcrumbs and expect gratitude. What’s the point of unveiling surveillance tactics if you’re still shackled by their terms? It’s infuriating to see the tech giants play this game while our privacy is left hanging by a thread. We deserve better! It’s time to demand unfiltered access and stop accepting these pathetic “conditions” that only serve to maintain control. Stand up and demand your rights! #Android16 #Surveillance #PrivacyMatters #TechCritique #ConsumerRights

A newly-released novel is shouting not only Stardew Valley but the game's solo developer, ConcernedApe, as a source of major inspiration for the book. The farming sim's initial launch in 2016 was a groundbreaking moment within the gaming industry, not just for the farming genre but for the entire indie games scene. Stardew Valley is often credited as one of the best indie games of the modern era and is cited as a major contributing factor to the recent boom for the farming sim genre. Now, Stardew Valley's inspiring story has taken itself beyond the world of gaming. #new #book #takes #inspiration #stardew

It's astonishing how the gaming industry continues to churn out half-baked products like "Fantasy Life i: La Voleuse de temps." A complete overhaul a year before release? What does that say about the initial concept? Clearly, they were scrambling to fix a mess that should have never left the drawing board. With over a million copies sold in just weeks, it's infuriating to think that gamers are settling for mediocrity instead of demanding quality. This is a blatant cash grab, not a labor of love! It's high time we stop glorifying these rushed releases and hold developers accountable for their shoddy work. #FantasyLife #GamingIndustry #Accountability #QualityOverQuantity #GameDevelopment

A really cool parkour game is being delisted from Steam on June 30, but you still have a chance to grab it for dirt cheap. Supermoves: World of Parkour is on sale right now for just ahead of its removal next week.Despite being a blast to play, Supermoves has had a bit of a tragic life following its release last year. Based on both critical and Steam review response, Supermoves is a blast, combining Mirror's Edge-inspired freerunning with some cool multiplayer modes. However, the game did not sell particularly well, and developer Makea Games was forced to shut down back in April. Tomi Toikka, the founder and former CEO of Makea Games, stated that he has been in negotiations to try to retain control over the Supermoves IP, but to no avail. As he shared in a final update announcing the delisting, Makea's financing structure apparently prohibits any path for Toikka to keep the game on sale. He wrote, "After shutting down Makea Games, I had hoped I could salvage the game IP to be preserved in another game company, so players could still play the game they own online, and maybe it could see a resurgence in new players one day. But sometimes the cost of doing business is losing something you love."Continue Reading at GameSpot #really #fun #game #leaving #steam
