Star Command developers run into Kickstarter issues

Not everyone can beas lucky as Double Finewhen it comes to Kickstarter, as evidenced by the developers ofStar Command, who are having their own development woes as of late. For starters, $2,000 of theKickstarter campaign’s$36,967 was immediately lost due to “no show/no transfers”.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Castlevania medley is going to be playing on loop for me

Rock it The level of dedication from theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateteam as it pertains to the game’s music is insane. Even if the game doesn’t turn out that great I think pretty much everyone on the planet can agree that 28 hours of music and 900 tracks is an incredible effort, and for some, worth the price of entry alone. It’s no wonder that Nintendo baked-in the ability to listen to the Switch in portable mode as an MP3 player while the console is idle....

There are a myriad of NPCs withinPalworld, dotted across the entire map for players to find and interact with for interesting conversations and lore hints. However, none of these NPCs have caused as much confusion or conversation as the ‘Reincarnated Guy’. Usually, NPCs inPalworldare survivors who spend all of their time huddled alone around a campfire, too scared to move. Talking to them doesn’t provide us with anything other than questions about how they’ve managed to survive on the islands as long as they have, but theReincarnated Guy offers us something much more worthwhile—Pizza....
