The Trails series has grown to near-legendary status among JRPG fanatics, and with good reason – it offers a uniquely massive story that’s been developing nonstop over the course of 13 games in 22 years.

Part of Minecraft’s charm has always been its simple, blocky, pixelated aesthetic. With more items than ever, and some retextures over the years, vanilla Minecraft looks slightly less grassroots than it did in its early days. However, that elementary appeal remains. That said, over ten years on from those early days, it can be nice to change things up a bit, and Minecraft can look absolutely incredible with the addition of texture packs and shaders. Where shaders affect things like lighting, shadow, and color, texture packs alter the actual textures of the blocks and items around you, so the options…

So-called ‘ranks’ in Dead by Daylight were replaced some time ago by a Grading system. These DBD grades have no bearing on your matchmaking rating (MMR) and are simply a way to keep track of your own progress. Your DBD rank is shown by a colored icon in the top right-hand corner of your in-game screen, but what does each icon mean? If you’re wondering what the point is, well, we can’t blame you. There really isn’t one. That said, there is a hefty Bloodpoint reward during each Dead by Daylight grade reset, depending on which level you reach. There…
