Undertale looms large in the hearts of its fans for many reasons, but arguably due mostly to the strength of its characters. These beloved monsters each inspire their own devoted fan communities, with perfect cosplay and fan art to be had in abundance. Not only are each of the characters well fleshed out — even the skeletons — but they also vary in the extreme. Their personalities run the spectrum of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, although some types may dominate the aesthetic more than others....

The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 7 Truth be told, I keep waiting for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to disappoint me. Because while certain aspects of both Star Trek: Discovery (Saru and T’Rina’s romance, the general existence of Grudge, cool giant glow cloud aliens) and Star Trek: Picard (Patrick Stewart existing, John de Lancie returning) have been wonderful, both shows have had their fair share of rough patches in recent seasons, moments where watching them felt a whole lot more like an obligation than it did a joy....

The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 9 The generally episodic nature of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds means that the show can much more easily play with things like tone and genre than either of its fellow modern-day predecessors. From last week’s emotional gut-punch disguised as a candy-coated children’s fantasy to a bodyswap romantic comedy, the show seems to delight in subverting our expectations about what a show like this is supposed to be and do from week to week....

For rare items and cool secrets, as well as unique quests, there’s always a special location for you to access in Stardew Valley. That’s why between farming and gathering resources it’s a good idea to actually walk around and do a little bit of exploring. You’ll never know exactly what you might find. One special location that becomes incredibly important for rare resources is the Secret Woods area in Stardew Valley....

And so Stardew Valley’s quest for world indie game domination continues. In just a week’s time, the next port is being released, this time for PlayStation Vita. By now, just about any gamer worth their salt knows of Stardew Valley. Starting as a humble little project helmed by a one plucky developer, Eric Barone, the game rose to become the kind of curveball success story nobody could have predicted. This restful, retro-tinged farming sim is like the lovechild Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing always should have had....

Stardew Valley started out with ten romanceable villagers at release, but Shane and Emily were added as romance options in an update after they won their respective new marriage candidate polls back in 2016. Both characters were landslide winners; Shane won the men’s poll with 48.2% and Emily won the women’s poll with 59.1%. The two had already been a common fan request for marriage candidates even before the polls, so their addition seemed almost inevitable....

The Summer Edition of the Steam Game Festival is the latest summer event that’s been delayed. Summer Games Fest organizer Geoff Keighley made the announcement Friday afternoon on Twitter, stating that the festival is now scheduled for June 16 and will last through June 22. The Steam Game Festival was originally scheduled to begin on June 7 and end on June 14. Assumedly, the Steam Game Festival will otherwise remain unchanged....

Besides some fruits, rations, and root vegetables, meat will be your primary source of food in Stranded Deep. But before you can gather it and cook it, you’ll have to know which animals give you what and how you can deal with them. So here’s everything you need to know about animals that walk on land — the creatures you’ll find roaming around the many islands of Stranded Deep. Crabs Crabs are found around islands or in very shallow waters; they are tiny and will only give you one small piece of meat once killed and skinned....

Artifact released last year but ultimately failed to make a splash in the gaming community. For those who didn’t hear about it, it’s a Dota 2-themed digital trading card game. Its reception was mostly mixed, with some praising its gameplay and drafting mechanics, but many more criticizing it for its steep learning curve and monetization model. In fact, two months after its release, Artifact saw a 95% decline in its player base, which was certainly devasting to developer Valve....

A lot of video game enthusiasts would probably love the idea of being able to sit down and play their favorite game for days on end without interruption, but the reality of doing so can be dangerous or even deadly. As the popularity of video games has grown over the decades, so too has the number of cases of people dying whilst playing video games, most commonly of heart failure or heart attacks....

For those still looking to get a PlayStation 5, there is a chance Target is restocking this week. According to Spieltimes, Target’s first PlayStation 5 drop of 2021 should be happening sooner than originally thought. Ever since PlayStation 5 came out back in November, it has been a challenge for fans to get one. With scalpers flooding the market with overpriced options, it is clear that store inventory clears out almost instantly....

Teamfight Tactics often promises sweeping changes with its mid-set updates. For the Set 4 update, which will go live with Patch 11.2 on January 20, Riot Games may have outdone itself thought. Riot Games recently posted a gameplay update ahead of the mid-set update, detailing the new content that will be coming to Teamfight Tactics in the next few weeks. While many players will focus on the new units and traits that are coming to Teamfight Tactics, the biggest changes are the new mechanics that are revealed....

Tekken 7 has always been something of an anomaly in the way it approaches the fighting game genre. While games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat featured their fair share of over-the-top fighting tropes, Tekken is the series that featured a fighting kangaroo and has ties to a popular Japanese wrestling faction in its current iteration. Tekken 7 is known for its colorful characters - alongside some of the best gameplay the genre has to offer - and so it isn’t much of a surprise to find out that some of its pro players share Tekken 7’s flair for the dramatic and weird....

Some pets in Terraria are used for aesthetics and companionship alone while others are very useful tools for light sources and finding treasure. Whatever their purpose, there are over 35 pet options across both Classic Mode and Master Mode. There’s a pet for every type of person and every type of need. And every type of holiday, too. There are light pets that are better than others due to the strength of light and what other qualities they have, but the best Terraria pets are somewhat subjective....

This The 100 review contains spoilers. The 100 Season 5, Episode 12 When The 100 first began, it was a show that was constantly subverting expectations of what a “teen” show could be. Part of that was CW stigma, but part of that was simply good television storytelling. Most shows aren’t willing to go as dark and brutal as The 100 has gone again and again, most shows aren’t quite so comfortable letting its protagonists and antagonists look so similar....

A PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file type that preserves the formatting of your document so it can be viewed on any device. PDFs are popular because they’re easy to create and view and can be password-protected for security. But what if you need to edit a PDF? That’s where online PDF editors come in. There are several online PDF editors available, and it can be tough to decide which one is right for you....

While gamers are less likely to compare The Division with Destiny now that they’ve had time with both games, it’s hard to overlook the similarities between the two. In fact, when it comes to looter shooters, there are certain analogues that gamers try to make between titles like Destiny and The Division, if only because Bungie’s game was many players’ first experience with an online RPG loot-focused shooter. As far as those similarities are concerned, some Division players have just found the mother load: a new loot cave....

In The Division 2, players will encounter some truly tough enemies that can take a lot of punishment before finally going down. Considering this, players need the best weapons and gear at their disposal if they hope to survive some of the game’s tougher challenges and get all the way to World Tier 5. One thing that can give players an advantage is special ammo types, but The Division 2 doesn’t make it clear exactly how players can switch between different ammo types in the game....

From nerfing popular builds to banning players for using a damage exploit in PvE, The Division franchise has made a few decisions that frustrated players. This week, however, it seems the developers at Massive Entertainment may have taken things a little too far. As part of Title Update 9, Division 2 developer Massive Entertainment nerfed the Classic M1A rifle. Easily one of the most popular weapons in the game, the Classic M1A was an essential piece of any build, but post update it became a shell of its former self....

Doom Eternal has only been out a few months, but many of us are still having a blast fighting the armies of hell and chainsawing one demon after another. While the new official Doom Eternal DLC is not too far away, thankfully, the Doom community has a loyal following of dedicated modders. While the majority of mods currently available for Doom Eternal are HUD changes or some cosmetic changes for the Doom Slayer, there is one mod that spices up gameplay and puts your skills to the test....
