How the Remake Completely Altered My Appreciation of Final Fantasy VII
It’s been almost 3 years since Final Fantasy VII Intergrade (formerly “Remake”) was released and with Rebirth on the horizon and Crisis Core Remaster just a couple of months away, it’s hard not to get a little hyped.

The Pros and Cons of Late Game Tarkov
Tarkov has a lot of different ebbs and flows that circulate the game’s life cycle in regards to time since the last wipe. Everyone loves the early game; we all are reset back to level 1, with shitty weapons and ammo. Fights feel really organic and important because the early game tasks can be brutal if you aren’t able to get them accomplished in a timely manner. Hideout upgrades are costly both in rubles and materials; and you can only carry so many in your secured container, so losing those hurts just as much as a quest item. We can all agree that early game is fun and the real way BSG wants us to engage with Tarkov. They have put many different measures in to extend that late game feeling, and it has worked in spades. But, like everything, overtime we work our way out the early game and creep into the late game. Even though we are right around the 60-day mark for this wipe, we are seeing levels in the high 30’s for a decent chunk of players. Of course, not everyone is there, but every wipe it feels like we all learn and level up just a little faster, despite their efforts to slow us down. Just player efficiency I suppose. Either way, Late game Tarkov can and still is fun. Well, sometimes. Other times it’s just infuriating for one reason or another. But it’s not always bad all the time. So, I’d like to take today and explain some pros and cons that come with late game Tarkov. Everyone’s milage will vary with what they enjoy about players being a higher level and running around with more expensive and powerful gear. So, if you agree or disagree with any of my bullet points, please sound off in the comments. I’d like to hear the consensus of others who enjoy this game for their own reasons.

5 Tips For Playing Better Samurai
Those who rule rarely take to the field to enforce their decrees with their own hands. There will be others who do this task for them; the hands who are trained to act in service to their lords. Warriors of resolve who will face down any odds if it means they serve their master's will, they are known by many names across different cultures and creeds.

The Order of the Howitzer — Dungeons and Dragons Homebrew
The Order of the Howitzer - Blood Hunter Order Some monsters are too great to slay with swords, some beasts too strong to hack and slash, some with armour too thick to pierce. You have decided to take a different approach: your Howitzer cannon cares not for armour. Upon entering the Order of the Howitzer, you craft your own personalised cannon, and from that moment on, you become a vassal of destruction, a harbinger of detonation, releasing volley after volley of explosive annihilation. Your meteoric salvos will take apart anything foolish enough to stand in your way, and your mastery over hemomancy will keep them still enough to let you line your shots up properly.

My Top 3 Elden Ring Boss Fights (SPOILERS)
Elden Ring is a game that has no shortage of boss fights with about 120 bosses in the whole game! Most of them are not required to complete the main story but if you want to get certain weapons, spells, remembrances, and other gear then it is recommended that you fight them. Some of the bosses are great, they are fast-paced, they are challenging, and knowing the backstory of the boss really does just get your blood pumping. So the way I am going to judge the boss fights are by: 1) how challenging it was, 2) how dynamic the fight was, and 3) the portrayal of each boss. Of course, this is just my opinion and not universal. That being said let's hop right into the list with my Top 3 Elden Ring Boss Fights.

Tarkov's Sniper Skill Should Level up Easier
Soft skills are really interesting in Tarkov. They provide a large variety of benefits for your PMC, whether that is more stamina, strength, perception, and alongside physical skills, there are plenty of skills related to mechanics and weapons. Every class of weapons has an associated soft skill that provides benefits when handling the weapon. But out of all the weapons to level up, bolt-action snipers are by far the worst to level up in the game.

The Paladin Spymaster
A figure slipped down the alleyways of Low Town, doubling back two and sometimes three times to make sure they weren't being followed before continuing on deeper into the crooked, leaning alleys. Rats scurried through midden heaps, and they passed occasional bodies sprawled in the garbage. Drunk or dead, the figure didn't pause to check as they made their way into the maze.

What Secrets Does Your Character Hide?
Grendal Bloodhand glanced around, ensuring no one was watching. When he was certain there were no prying eyes, he slipped his hand up behind the moulding near the fireplace in his kitchen, and pressed up on the loose stone. The hidden door in the wall opened, revealing the stairway down to the cellar. The orc slipped into the shadows, closing the door behind him as he found his way down the worn, stone steps. The door at the base was banded with iron and bore half a dozen locks, but instead of touching the trap activating mechanisms he pressed in on five, specific stones around the frame. The lock clicked open, and he stepped inside. Drawing a sparker from his belt, Grendal lit a lamp, then turned up the flame until it shone brightly.

The College of Graffiti — Dungeons and Dragons Homebrew
The College of Graffiti - Bard College While many bards tend towards artistic forms of self-expression, you specialise in one form above the rest — graffiti. Using your quick eyes and steady hands, you can throw up art faster than anyone, and your time out on the streets evading over-enthusiastic guards has trained you in the art of a quick escape. Many members of this College started out as simple graffiti artists, but have since discovered the inspiring potential of their works. Graffiti bards rarely meet, often having little more interaction than that of tutor and pupil, if that.
