Japan wouldn’t be Japan without its trademark obsession with youth.

And nowhere does that appear more than in anime, where adorable children take center stage… sometimes as love interests.

Here are the top 10 best Lolicon anime starring adorable – and often precocious – kids.

Listen to me Girls, I’m Your Father!

Yuuta Segawa finds himself in an awkward situation. Asked to babysit a family’s three young daughters while their parents are on a trip, the plane they’re on goes missing.

Faced with the prospect of the sisters being split and taken in by different family members, Yuuta decides instead to take them all in to keep them together.

Relationships of all kinds grow from this.

Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan

Here we have four girls from the netherworld just trying to fit in with humans. But for a witch, android, vampire and werewolf, fitting in isn’t all that easy.

That’s especially true when a woman named Dr. K-Ko is working to expose them as not human. And “expose” is definitely the right word here, for reasons you’ll see for yourself.

Kodomo no Jikan

It’s a common trope in anime for kids to be more sexually inclined than adults.

Enter Kodomo no Jikan, the anime about 3rd grader Rin Kokonoe’s attempts at seducing her teacher, Daisuke Aoki. Naturally, Daisuke turns aside her advances as best he can, but then a deeper story emerges: What circumstances drive Rin to be like that, and how can Daisuke help?

More importantly, how deeply should he get involved as a teacher? For a series that appears to be about fanservice of 10-year-old girls, Kodomo no Jikan does a surprisingly good job of raising some deep moral and philosophical questions along the way.

Astarotte no Omocha!

Okay, so this is about a 10-year-old succubus who needs to construct a male harem to do that thing that succubi do.

Unfortunately for Princess Astarotte (or “Lotte,” as she is more often known), she hates men. She says she will only accept the harem if her handlers can find a human male – which will be difficult since humans are supposed to be extinct.

Welp, some stuff happened, and they found one as hilarity ensues.

Ryo-Kyu-Bu!

What happens when a team of five adorable girls joins a basketball club – and ends up coached by a would-be high school basketball star?

Ryo-Kyu-Bu happens.

Ironically, why is Subaru Hasegawa coaching this team of Lolis instead of playing basketball for his high school? The team was disbanded after the captain was found to be pursuing the coach’s underage daughter.

The irony here is delicious, so it is among the top 10 best Lolicon anime.

Strike Witches

There’s not much to Strike Witches, but there doesn’t need to be.

It’s about a bunch of girls flying around in their panties (they can’t wear pants because they have jet packs on their legs), shooting down aliens. That’s all it ever really is.

Incidentally, the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs endorsed Strike Witches as an example of “wholesome family entertainment” in 2008. So there’s totally nothing to worry about here.

Mitsudomoe

Mitsudomoe is another series where elementary-age girls are more sexually aggressive than adults.

But unlike Kodomo no Jikan, in which those feelings are unleashed directly on the teacher, this is about the girls clumsily trying to hook up with their teacher and the school nurse.

Along the way, they misunderstand many things about love and sex and make old man levels of dirty jokes in the process.

Sky Girls

If you liked Strike Witches as much as the Japanese government did, then you’ll probably like Sky Girls… basically the same amount.

You can’t call Sky Girls a rip-off because it technically came out a year before Strike Witches. But it’s still about a platoon of girls who fight aliens by flying around.

So you have the idea already. Oh, but mechs are also involved here, so that’s pretty cool.

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

These Lolis are super cute for about an episode or so. Then they start losing their minds and trying to kill each other. And they usually succeed.

Then they’re cute again.

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni is more mystery/horror/psychological thriller than Loli fanservice. But it does work the fanservice in there during the limited moments it’s appropriate (there is definitely a maid cafe).

But more than that, this makes the top 10 best Lolicon anime because murder lolis are great.

Hanamaru Kindergarten

Hanamaru Kindergarten features the loliest characters imaginable. Hard to get much younger than kindergarteners unless you want to go straight to toddler.

Of course, the kids in Hanamaru Kindergarten aren’t like those in Kodomo no Jikan or Mitsudomoe. They’re just cute 5-year-olds doing cute 5-year-old things.

This is a slice-of-life about kindergarteners and their often-overwhelmed teachers. There isn’t much more to it than that. It’s equal parts hilarious and adorable.

How To Tell If You Can Run Baldur’s Gate 3

Now that we know the minimum and recommended system requirements to play Baldur’s Gate 3, let us learn how to check to see if we can run it. The following are how to tell what hardware your computer has and if it can run Baldur’s Gate 3:

Windows

The operating system is the easiest hardware to know out of all the other hardware. This is because it is usually evident that different operating systems, particularly in comparison to their earlier versions, typically have distinctly different user interfaces. The processor, graphics, memory, DirectX, and storage are probably where players’ computers vary.

Operating System, Processor, and Memory

Fortunately, the player can find information about the operating system, processor, and memory in the same place as Windows PCs. To find information about this hardware, the player must do the following:

1. First, from the player’s desktop, the player must press the ‘Start’ button. Following that, the player must press the gear icon in the’ Start’ menu. This is the settings icon above the power settings in the lower left corner of the ‘Start’ menu. The settings icon is also near the ‘Start’ button.
2. After that, once in the ‘Settings’ menu screen, the player must select the ‘System’ option. This is the first option in the ‘Settings’ screen with an icon resembling a laptop. The player can find this next to the ‘Devices’ option and above the ‘Apps’ option.
3. Next, the player must select the ‘About’ tab in the system settings screen. The player can find this option as the last option in the sidebar on the left side of the screen. This is just below the ‘Remote Desktop’ option.
4. Then, once on the ‘About’ tab, the player can now see information about the player’s computer! 

Operating System

As mentioned above, the player must have a Windows 10 operating system to run Baldur’s Gate 3. Additionally, it is important to emphasize that the player’s Windows 10 must have a system type of 64-bit to run the game.

In the ‘About’ screen, the player will find the Windows operating system edition next to ‘Edition.’ This is the very first information under the ‘Windows Specifications’ section. Under this section, the player will also see the version and the OS Build. As for the system type, the player can find it next to ‘System Type’. This is located near the bottom of the list below ‘Product ID’ in the ‘Device Specifications’ section. If the player’s Windows PC does not have at least the Windows 10 version with the 64-bit system type, then the player cannot run Baldur’s Gate 3. 

It is worth noting that the Windows 10 operating system can also run with the 32-bit system type. With this, the player cannot run Baldur’s Gate 3. It is also possible to run on 32-bit and 64-bit processor architectures. If that is the case, the system type is 64-bit but was also installed with a 32-bit. With this, the player can run Baldur’s Gate 3. It is not possible to install 62-bit on a 32-bit system type.

There is another method to check the version of Windows that the player has quickly. However, with this method, the player cannot see which system type their operating system has. To do this, the player must execute the following:

1. First, the player must open the Run dialog box. To do that quickly, the player can press the Windows button and the R keys together. The Windows button is on the player’s keyboard with the Windows logo. This is usually on the right of the ‘Ctrl’ button and the left of the ‘Alt’ button on the bottom left of the keyboard. Alternatively, the player can right-click the Start menu and select the ‘Run’ option. The ‘Start’ button has the Windows logo on the taskbar on the bottom left of the screen.
2. Next, once on the Run dialog box, the player must type ‘winver’ on the text box. Once done, the player must press the ‘OK’ button or the ‘Enter’ key.
3. Then, after doing so, it will open the ‘About Windows’ window. Here, the player will find which version of Windows the player is using.

Processor

As for the processor, the player must have at least an Intel i5 4690 or AMD FX 8350 to run Baldur’s Gate 3. However, running at least an Intel i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is recommended for running with high or ultra settings.

In the ‘About’ screen, the player can find what processor the player’s computer has next to ‘Processor.’ This is the second item under the ‘Device Specifications’ section below the ‘Device Name’ and the ‘Installed RAM.’ 

Memory

In terms of memory, the player must have at least 8 GB of RAM to run Baldur’s Gate 3. On the other hand, it is recommended to have 16 GB of RAM to help run the game on high and ultra settings.

In the ‘About’ screen, the player can check the amount of memory installed on their computer next to ‘Installed RAM.’ This can be found in the ‘Device Specifications’ section below the ‘Product ID’.

Graphics

Computers contain graphics hardware capable of performing various tasks, such as displaying the desktop and decoding videos. Among these responsibilities include processing graphics-intensive PC games. AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel manufacture most contemporary PCs’ graphics processing units (GPUs).

With a plethora of different brands and models, it might prove challenging to tell which type has the player installed. Whenever you play PC games, the GPU is typically the most crucial component on your computer. Even though having a good processor and enough RAM are vital, the player will not be able to run games with intense graphics if they do not have the appropriate GPU. 

To run Baldur’s Gate 3, the player must have at least an Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 480  with more than 4 GB of VRAM. The player can play Baldur’s Gate 3 using these GPUs with low to medium settings. To help make the game run on high and ultra settings, the player should have at least an Nvidia 2060 Super or AMD RX 5700 XT with more than 4 GB of VRAM.

The player can perform several ways to check their GPU. The player will learn to tell if their computer can run Baldur’s Gate 3 with these. The following are a couple of the methods in question:

Method 1: Task Manager

One of the quickest ways to check which GPU the player has on Windows is through the Task Manager. To do that, the player must do the following:

1. First, the player must open the Task Manager. To quickly do that, the player can simultaneously press the ‘Ctrl’ key, the ‘Shift’ key, and the ‘Esc’ key on the keyboard. Alternatively, the player can hover over a space on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and press the right button on the mouse. The player can now select the ‘Task Manager’ option on the drop-down menu.
2. After that, once the ‘Task Manager’ screen has appeared, the player must select the ‘Performance’ tab. This is located near the top of the Windows 10 operating system screen or on the left of Windows 11. The ‘Performance’ tab is the second tab after the ‘Processes’ tab and before the ‘App History’ tab. If the player can’t find the tabs on top on Windows 10, the player must press the ‘More Details’ button on the bottom left of the screen.
3. Then, once on the ‘Performance’ tab, the player must select ‘GPU 0’. The player will probably find this item at the bottom of the list. On this screen, the player will see the brand and model of their GPU. If the player’s computer has multiple GPUs, the other one is listed as ‘GPU 1’. Each item represents another GPU.

Method 2: Display Settings

As previously mentioned, the GPU controls everything shown on the computer screen. So, another method to check what GPU the player’s computer has is to check the display settings.

1. To begin, from the desktop, hit the ‘Start’ button on the bottom left of the screen. Then, once on the ‘Start’ menu, the player has to click on the gear symbol. The settings symbol appears over the power settings in the bottom left portion of the ‘Start’ menu.
2. The player must then click the ‘System’ option in the’ Settings’ menu. This is the first option on the ‘Settings’ screen, represented as a laptop symbol. This is above the ‘Apps’ option and next to the ‘Devices’ option.
3. Next, the player must then select the ‘Display’ tab. The player can find this tab as the first option in the sidebar on the left side of the window. This tab is just above the ‘Sound’ option.
4. Then, once in the ‘Display’ screen, the player must click the ‘Advanced display settings’ option. The player can find this near the bottom of the list in the ‘Multiple displays’ section.
5. Finally, the player can see their GPU details in the ‘Advanced display settings’ screen in the ‘Display information’ section!

DirectX

Microsoft developed DirectX, an application programming interface, or API, for Windows PCs and Xbox consoles. An API serves as a bridge between applications and the hardware within the computer. Early computers sent instructions directly to the installed hardware.

APIs have become the main system in instructing the installed GPU what to perform. This has become especially important as games have gotten more complex. This technology enhances the players’ multimedia and gaming experience. Certain games, like Baldur’s Gate 3, require DirectX.

As mentioned above, to run Baldur’s Gate 3, the player’s computer must have a DirectX with a version of at least version 11. To check what version of DirectX is installed in the player’s computer, the player must execute the following:

1. First, the player must open the Run dialog box. To quickly do so, the player can press the Windows button and the R keys at the same time. Alternatively, the player can press the right mouse button on the Start menu and choose the ‘Run’ option from the drop-down menu.
2. After that, once in the Run dialog box, the player must type ‘dxdiag’ on the text box. After doing so, the player must click the ‘OK’ button or press the ‘Enter’ key to continue.
3. Then, once that is done, the DirectX Diagnostic Tool will open on the screen. Once on this screen, the player must head to the ‘System’ tab near the top right of the window. This is the first tab on the left of the ‘Display’ tab.
4. Lastly, the player can now check out the different specifications on the player’s computer under the ‘System Information’ section! Usually, at the end of the list, the player can find the version of DirectX installed on their computer!

Also, the player can check much more hardware in the ‘System’ tab of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool screen. Here, the player can check their operating system, the system type, the processor, and the memory or RAM.

The player can also check their computer’s GPU using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. The player must head to the ‘Display’ tab on the top left to do that. This is on the right of the ‘System’ tab and the left of the ‘Sound’ tab. Once in the ‘Display’ tab, the player can find the brand and model of their GPU next to ‘Name’ under the ‘Device’ section. This is located on the left of the screen. The player will find other information about the GPU, like the VRAM.

Storage

Baldur’s Gate 3 is regarded as one of the most massive role-playing games. Installing and running Baldur’s Gate 3 requires much available storage space. ​​This is among the handful of AAA titles that provide the Dungeons & Dragons-like genre to gaming. It makes sense that the game has such a large storage size requirement, given the vast world that the player can explore in the game.

The developers have required players to have at least 150 GB of free space to install and play the game. The game’s install size is just around 122 GB. However, the game developers recommend that the player has at least 30 GB more free space to run the game smoothly.

Not only that, but the developers also recommend that the player use a Solid State Drive, or SSD, as storage. With this, the player can run Baldur’s Gate 3 with high or ultra settings. With SSDs, the player will have faster boot and load times and better overall performance than Hard Disk Drives or HDDs. SDDs are newer, faster, and better versions of HDDs. However, SDDs generally come with a heftier price tag.

The following are a couple of ways to check the available storage space on the player’s computer:

Method 1: Storage Settings

One of the ways to check the free storage space is through the Storage screen in the ‘Settings’ menu. To do that, the player must do the following:

1. First, from the desktop, the player must click the ‘Start’ button on the bottom left of the screen. Press the gear symbol and the settings icon in the ‘Start’ menu. This appears above the power settings in the bottom left area of the ‘Start’ menu.
2. Next, once in the ‘Settings’ menu, the player must select the ‘System’ option. This option is the first on the ‘Settings’ screen, symbolized with a laptop icon. The player can find this near the ‘Apps’ and ‘Devices’ options.
3. Following that, the player must click on the ‘Storage’ tab. The player can find this tab in the lower part of the sidebar on the left side of the window.
4. Finally, in the ‘Storage’ screen, the player can see the total capacity of the computer’s storage, how much space has been used, and how much free space is available!

Method 2: This PC

To check how much storage free space the player’s computer has, the player has to perform the following:

1. To begin, the player has to open the ‘This PC’ window. There are multiple ways to do this. One of the quickest ways to do this is by opening a folder or any File Explorer window. The player can click ‘This PC’ on the left sidebar from here. Alternatively, the player can press the ‘Start’ button on the bottom left of the taskbar. On the ‘Start’ menu, start typing ‘This PC’ or ‘computer’ to start searching. Then, click on the ‘This PC’ Desktop App once it appears in the ‘Best match’ section. 
2. After that, once in the ‘This PC’ window, the player can see their drives under the ‘Devices and drives’ section. If the drives do not appear, the player can simply click the arrow on the left of the ‘Devices and drives’ section to show or hide the well devices and drives. The player can find their drives, storage capacity, and free space here!
3. Next, the player can press the right mouse button on a selected drive for a more detailed view. The player must click the ‘Properties’ option on the drop-down menu. This is usually located at the bottom of the drop-down menu. On the drive’s properties window, the player can head to the ‘General’ tab on top of the window. Here, the player will find the exact used space, the exact free space, and the exact storage capacity of the drive. The player will also be able to find more information, like the File system of the drive, and more options, like compressing the drive to save disk space or Disk Cleanup.

Despite being rare, the Asian Sheepshead can be easily caught if you follow the fishing tips we have for you in this Coral Island guide.

The Asian Sheepshead is a crimson-colored saltwater fish rarely found in the waters of Coral Island. And like most creatures that are hard to come by in the game, there are several factors you’re required to have to encounter the Asian Sheepshead. Here’s how you can boost your chances of obtaining this elusive fish!

Where to Catch the Asian Sheepshead

The Asian Sheepshead is only available on Coral Island in the Winter season. It spawns in the Ocean Forest. To get there, head to the left-hand exit of your farm and continue walking until you come across a stream of water with some ancient standing stones placed on top of boulders.

Winter may be the only season the Asian Sheepshead appears on the island. Fortunately, you can encounter it anytime or in any weather conditions. 

Fishing Tips

Many players find fishing in the game a fun and peaceful activity. But it can be arduous to some because of the mechanics involved. These tips below can help you increase your likelihood of obtaining the rare Asian Sheepshead:

Get an Upgraded Fishing Pole

Having an enhanced Fishing Pole can dramatically lower the difficulty of the fishing mini-game. With an upgraded fishing pole, you can cast your rod farther from the shore, reel in fish faster, and get fish with better quality. And, if you use the best pole, the Osmium fishing pole, acquiring the Asian Sheepshead becomes much easier. Collecting plenty of Kelp is recommended as you can turn it into Kelp essence, a material used to upgrade your fishing pole.

Use the Sturdy Computer

The Sturdy Computer has a handy Forecasting feature, which shows you a list of sea creatures you’ll most likely encounter on Coral Island throughout the day. This advanced equipment can be extremely helpful, especially if you’re hunting for a rare fish, as it provides information about the creature’s availability and exact location.

Practice Fishing Often

While it may be a clichéd tip, getting used to the game’s fishing mechanics can greatly help you catch fish faster. By consistently fishing, you can develop a sense of timing to improve your performance. Not only will your in-game character gain fishing proficiency, but you’ll also be able to refine your coordination and reflexes in real life. So, just keep fishing until you enjoy it and no longer find it tedious.

The Asian Sheepshead is one of the most sought-after fish on Coral Island. But it isn’t every day you’ll be able to encounter one and, even more so, successfully catch it. Mastering fishing in farming sims like Coral Island requires a mix of patience and skill. Using upgraded fishing apparatus to catch rare or legendary fish is also important. And, of course, if you have a Sturdy Computer, don’t forget to utilize it to get detailed info on the whereabouts of the creatures you’re trying to catch.

Learn how to fix “Sorry, You are currently prevented from playing” in Palworld!

Pokemon is a billion-dollar gaming franchise that’s existed for decades, but many fans have criticized this new “Poke-like” title from Pocket Pair called Palworld.

Jokingly dubbed “Pokemon with guns” by the online community, Palworld puts players into this massive open world populated by creatures called “Pals.” The game encourages players to arm themselves (with actual guns) and go around fighting and catching Pals with their “Pal Spheres.” Once you catch the Pals, they can become your companions throughout the game, accompanying you on your journey and following your commands.

Pokemon is only one of the things that has inspired Palworld, though, as the game is also said to have elements inspired by other survival RPGs like Horizon Zero Dawn and Vanheim. Besides catching Pals, you can build your base, plant, and harvest crops, and ask your different Pals to help you till the land. You can even ride certain Pals across the air and see to help with your traversal.

The game has gained over 7 million players not even a month after its release, and many people have been excitedly buzzing about the game online.

Since the game is still in Early Access, there may still be many bugs that the developers have failed to eliminate.

The “Sorry, you’re currently prevented from playing” Palworld Error

Multiple Palworld players have been reporting that they are getting a notification that specifically reads, “Sorry, you’re currently prevented from playing online multiplayer games.” when they’re trying to log into the game.

This problem has been more prevalent for Xbox users, and the PC players seem not to be running into it so much. While some players’ first instinct is that they’ve been banned from Palworld, that isn’t the case, and the fix is straightforward.

Upgrade Your Version of Palworld

As it turns out, it’s only a simple way to upgrade the game. PC players don’t usually run into the issue since upgrades are pretty commonplace with that platform, but when it comes to Xbox players, sometimes they have to do the upgrades manually.

Here are steps on how to upgrade your version of Palworld for Xbox:

– Select My Games & Apps on the Xbox dashboard; it’s at the top.

– Head over to Manage

– Select Updates

The menu should then show you what updates are available for Palworld, but some players still say that updates can’t be found on that part of the menu. If that’s the case, you can:

– Return to Games

– On Palworld, tap the Options button

– Select Manage Game and Add-Ons

– Select Updates

From that point, the game should update to the current version of Palworld, and you should stop getting the same error. As previously stated, this problem doesn’t seem to affect anyone on PC and Steam and seems only to be a problem with Xbox users.

Should this problem still occur after you’ve updated the game and everything, it’s suggested that there could simply be a server problem; it doesn’t have anything to do with the system on your end.

If All Else Fails

If all else fails, you can always perform the method for any game that doesn’t seem to be working correctly—reinstall the game.

Completely delete Palworld from your system and reinstall it on your platform from the ground up. This should eliminate any issues you had with the previous version of the game and have you start back at one.

Hopefully, after this, you won’t be seeing the “Sorry, you’re currently prevented from playing online multiplayer games” error.

With Lies of P’s parry mechanic, punish your opponents with Perfect Guard and watch them get staggered and their weapons destroyed.

Lies of P is an action-packed, soul-like video game incorporating many fun mechanics most Souls games use. And like any other soul, Lies of P uses the same base mechanics, such as blocking, dodging, and parrying, when dealing with enemy attacks.

One of the Parry mechanics, known as the Perfect Guard, is incredibly difficult to pull off as it has a short timeframe to make it successful. This article will teach you the basics and all you need to know about doing a Perfect Guard in Lies of P.

How to Perfect Guard in Lies of P

Understanding a Perfect Guard

A Perfect Guard happens only when you press the guard button just right. This allows you to parry all the enemies’ attacks and protect yourself from becoming inflicted with any status effects.

If you time a Perfect Guard just right, you can easily parry, break enemies’ weapons, and inflict groggy status on your enemies. This action also consumes less stamina compared to doing regular guard actions.

However good as it may seem, doing a Perfect Guard is not always worth it. Sometimes, dodging the attack rather than guarding it is much easier. If you’re up against small-sized enemies, it is better to simply dodge their attacks than do a Perfect Guard against them.

Bosses and mini-bosses, on the other hand, have a couple of fury attacks that are normally unblockable but can be stopped by a Perfect Guard. And since these enemies are harder to defeat, you must practice several times to learn how to do a Perfect Guard on some of their attacks.

How to do a Perfect Guard

In Lies of P, unlike doing a regular guard, a Perfect Guard only has a small window to make it work, and most of the time, players will fail to do it. You may also need to practice your parry timing against the puppets in the Krat Hotel courtyard before attempting to do a Perfect Guard against an actual enemy.

Each enemy in Lies of P is uniquely different regarding timing and attack pattern. You must face each enemy several times and learn how their attack pattern works. To better block incoming attacks perfectly, observe them and break down each attack by learning to fight them separately.

Do a normal block on each attack a few times and visualize the small window in which you can parry it. To do a Perfect Guard means to parry the attack the last second before the attack hits you to succeed. As some attacks have long windups and others instantaneous, the tricky part is timing the Guard action at the right moment.

Breaking Enemy Weapons

The only way to break an enemy’s weapon is to perform multiple Perfect Guards consecutively. Do note that this only works on enemies with breakable weapons. The weapons of most of the major bosses in the game cannot be broken. However, this works wonders against mini-bosses and smaller enemies.

The quickest way to break their weapon is to block a full combo attack perfectly. The indicator for this is when the enemy glows a bright red color. Note that the longer you take to do multiple Perfect Guards in a row, the longer it takes to break their weapon. This means you must be precise and consistent to pull this off.

Inflicting the Groggy Status

Parrying the enemy multiple times will not only break their weapon but may also inflict the groggy status effect. The indicator for this is when the enemy’s health bar glows a bright white color. This means the enemy is vulnerable and can be staggered by a charged special attack on them.

Staggering an enemy will inflict a groggy status—making them vulnerable to fatal attacks that deal much damage in a single hit. However, this is easier said than done, as it requires you to deal as much damage and parry as many attacks as possible to work.

What are the fastest ways to level up in Palworld?

 Nintendo may be getting criticism for playing it too safe with their Pokemon franchise, but Pocket Pair, Inc. is somehow leaving the internet abuzz with their “Pokemon with guns” game called Palworld.

In Palworld, you’re thrust into this massive fantasy land where you must fight and catch these creatures called “Pals.” Not only does each Pal come with their respective element category, you also use these “Palspheres”—not Pokeballs—to catch them.

With the basic gameplay loop and character design unmistakable from the Pokemon formula, fans wonder how Nintendo still hasn’t sued Pocket Pair for their clear ripoff. Still, the game manages to set itself apart from the sheer amount of gameplay options you can do in Palworld.

Palworld is copying of the Pokemon formula and several other games, including Horizon Zero Dawn and Vanheim, blending all the different game elements into one title. Not only do you get to go around collecting all these different kinds of Pals, but you can also build your fort and farm all kinds of products with the help of your Pal companions.  

Not only can you farm, but the game also encourages you to craft all these tools, all of which can be used to further your Pal-catching journey.

Leveling System

Like any other game with a leveling system, early levels of the game will allow you to level up much faster and easier to get you used to the gameplay loop.

You’ll level up when you fight and catch pals, but you’ll also gain some experience when you keep improving your fort and the rest of your base.

Once you get to a couple of dozen levels up, though, the game will admittedly slow down the leveling-up process, so many fans question, “How do you level up faster in Palworld?”

What Are The Fastest Ways To Level Up in Palworld?

While the game gives players experience for doing all kinds of tasks in Palworld, building your XP solely depends on the very core element of the game, which is catching Pals.

You will always gain a massive XP boost whenever you catch a specific kind of Pal for the first time, but catching one isn’t enough. A counter in the game will count until you catch ten kinds of a Pal, and when you do, you will be rewarded with a massive experience boost.

It’s recommended that you farm these Pals early in the game, as you will find an abundance of Pals who are all pretty easy to catch—this way, you can save up on Pal Spheres instead of using them all up to catch more high-level monsters.

Other Tips

Night Hunt – You should look for Pals at night, specifically the skittish Pals. The Pals would be asleep at night, so you wouldn’t need to fight as hard if they were up during the day.

Egg Incubation – Though the game is focused on making you hunt for Pals in the world, defeating your first Syndicate Tower will reward you with your first Egg Incubator. The incubator will allow you to grow different kinds of Pals, all of which also have their own “catch 10” counter, and with each type you successfully incubate, you can also hope to gain more XP.

Looking Ahead

Palworld’s status is still Early Access, so the game is pretty much just the base gameplay loop with players invited to build their forts and hunt all around for Pals.

With the massive world that the game presents, there is a lot of room for story missions, and maybe those can be a good source of XP once they get added to the game.

Let’s just hope Nintendo hasn’t found a way to sue the developers by then.

Removing mods from Ready or Not is surprisingly simple.

Ready or Not has only been out for a little over a month, but players have already been busy playing around with third-party mods from sites such as Nexus Mods and Mod.io. While many of these mods can certainly raise the game’s realism, some mods can also potentially break it, leaving you no choice but to remove them from the game entirely.

This quick guide will walk you through removing mods from Ready or Not.

How to Remove All Mods from Ready or Not

Deleting mods for Ready or Not is easy, and depending on how you installed the mods in question, you can either delete the mod file from the Paks folder in the Ready or Not root directory or Unsubscribe to the mod from the Mod menu inside the game.

Unsubscribe to Remove Mods from Ready or Not

Ready or Not is one of those rare games that support mods through Mod.io. If you installed mods through the Mods menu in-game, you can easily remove those mods by clicking the mod and clicking the Unsubscribe button.

Remove Manually Installed Mods from the Paks Folder

On the other hand, if you installed mods manually by downloading mod files and pasting them into the Paks folder, doing the opposite will also remove the mod from the game.

1. Navigate to the Ready or Not root folder. The default location is steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Content\Paks.

2. Locate the mod you want to remove and delete from the Paks folder.

To ensure the mod and all its traces are deleted, navigate to %appdata%\local\Ready or Not\Saved\Paks and delete that folder.

That’s all you must do to remove mods from Ready or Not. If deleting the mods from the Paks folder doesn’t work, try reinstalling the game instead.

Conclusion

Hundreds of mods are available right now in-game through the Mod menu, and hundreds more are downloadable from popular mod sites such as Nexus Mods. You can easily install and remove them from the game by deleting the mod files from the Paks folder or simply unsubscribing to the mod from the Mod menu in Ready or Not.

Third-party mods can improve AI, add new weapons and skins, and even bring new maps to Ready or Not, making them essential modifications that bring more features and content to this exciting SWAT simulator.

Lethal Company is a pretty bare game, but it allows many modifications. Here’s how to get started.

2020 was the height of the popularity of Among Us, and though that game’s peak has come and gone, another has replaced it, a sci-fi horror game that is fun to play with your friends—Lethal Company.

Developed by a singular coder by the username Zeekerss, Lethal Company puts you in the shoes of a space scavenger. With your team of four, you are jettisoned off to random planets to hunt for scrap to bring back to the Company, but the catch is that each of these planets always comes with some kind of monster—one that you and your teammates will have to fend off as you try to meet your quota.

 The game offers a variety of monsters, each with their special gimmicks. Some monsters like the Loot Bugs are harmless on their own but will be able to summon hordes of their kind to overpower you; some are straight-up inspired by other sci-fi monsters like the Coilhead, which stands still if you’re looking at it but will move lightning fast when they’re out of sight—exactly like the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.

Lethal Company may not have the flashiest look compared to other modern games, but it has a great game loop, and players from all over are having fun recording themselves playing with friends and running from monsters. Though many gamers consider the game pretty bare bones, it has been commended for its ability to be modified to cater to whatever the players can imagine.

What are Mods

Mods (short for ‘modifications’) are bits of programming that players can install in games that can modify them in whichever way, from visuals to actual gameplay. Games like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been infamously modded online to include various characters and items. Sometimes, mods can even be used to fix problems with a game that even the developers haven’t been able to address.

Regarding Lethal Company, the number of mods being made for the game has steadily increased. Not only have players found ways to change cosmetics with the playable workers, but they’ve also found ways to enhance the game’s monsters and even add more players to their game.  

Modding Lethal Company

Though installing mods in Lethal Company could seem very easy, it’s not just a basic task for any casual gamer. It will have to include the installation of certain programs and the following of some very specific instructions.

First, players must have BepInEx installed and LC API for modding. The links are available on the names themselves.

When you’ve downloaded those files and have unpacked them, you have to perform these next steps:

– Open the folder where Lethal Company is installed (you can also access this folder via the launcher library).

– Copy the contents of BepInEx directly into the game folder. This will include a “BepInEx” folder and three other files. Move all the necessary files to the game’s main folder.

– Copy all the contents from LC API to the main game directory. It should place the LC_API.dll file into the right folder automatically.

From this point, you can start installing all kinds of mods that you find for Lethal Company. You can find many of them on Thunderstore, and each mod will already have instructions on properly installing them in your game.

How to Make Mods for Lethal Company

As for writing your original mods in Lethal Company, it’s said that you need to have a good handle on C Programming Language to write mods for the game.

MrMiinxx on YouTube has a very extensive tutorial on how to get started modding Lethal Company. Still, you can’t expect to start if you don’t understand C Programming Language yet. Watch this:

Even if you don’t understand C, the video says that no experience is needed when learning to mod for the game, which should be convenient for anyone looking to start. The video will walk you through creating a mod project, adding references, finding out how to fix patches, and making a functioning infinite sprint.

For anyone looking to start making mods for Lethal Company specifically, there is also a wiki written to answer all the FAQs when starting out modding Lethal Company. Not only do they provide the starting steps when it comes to modding the game, but they have also released a template for projects, saving you the time to write a mod from scratch.

There are even several links to all the helpful programs and assets you will need to effectively take the world of Lethal Company and make it your own.

Spiritual Sequel

Though Lethal Company may not be the flashiest game to come out today, it does promote a lot of innovation among its community, and several more people have been jumping into the world of modding thanks to the game.

It may not have a story or fancy graphics. Still, the gameplay loop and procedurally-generated monsters have given Lethal Company a specific flair that may not be as big as Among Us but feels like the game’s spiritual sequel.

With the buzz that the game has been able to generate online, it’s possible fans could be looking at a more polished sequel in a few years. Still, in the meantime, the game continues to improve via the players—an impressive feat for a game only developed by one person.

Learn how to romance Cassia in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader!

Warhammer was a tabletop game that came out from Games Workshop in the 80s and has since grown to be one of the most popular franchises in fantasy/science fiction. Warhammer has been able to touch all branches of gaming over the decades, and fans have gotten everything from first-person shooters to VR games.

One recent Warhammer title that just launched is Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and it’s a very lore-driven RPG set in the Koronus Expanse of the 40K universe. As the Rogue Trader, it will be up to you to explore, trade, and conquer for the hegemonic Imperium of Man.

Rogue Trader is mainly a tactical game and will have you and a party of friends with special abilities going into dungeons and taking out anyone who stands against the Imperium. Though the gameplay takes a while to get used to, the game has been applauded for its story.

Besides having to play the main quest of recovering the Koronus Expanse for the Imperium, the game also allows you to romance different characters in the game. You can even romance more than one at the same time.

Cassia is one character that has caught the eye of many players, and there is a guide on how to romance her successfully in Rogue Trader.

Who is Cassia?

Cassia Orsellio is one of the first members you can recruit for your crew early in the game, and she plays the role of Navigator in your party.

Lore-wise, she is a scion of House Orsellio of the Navis Nobilite, a faction active at the Koronus Expanse for centuries. Despite being connected to a house, Cassia is unaware of who her parents are and was raised secretly on a space station. Despite this, she is considered incredibly important to her people, but it doesn’t help that she has been trapped like a bird in a cage who barely knows anything about the wider world.

When you meet her, Cassia is kind of lost at what to do with herself. Still, she has studied hard to become a navigator, and you’ll also discover that she loves reading and will be all over your library when you interact with her.

Cassia is also not necessarily human, and she has longer limbs than the usual person. She also has red eyes and has the power to activate her special third eye.

How to Romance Cassia in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

First, you will have to pick a male character to make sure you can romance her.

You recruit her when you complete the Secrets of the Navis Nobilite test (which itself is also part of the Looking for Trouble quest). It’s fairly easy to convince Cassia to join your voidship; whatever you tell her, she will end up coming with you.

When you finish the mission, you can talk to Cassia on the deck; she stays around the southern part of the map. When it comes to Cassia, it’s said that you have to prioritize yourself before her job as your navigator. The dialogue options you need to choose to romance her are as follows:

1. “Tell me about yourself.”
2. “Sorry, Cassia, but I would like to know more about you personally, not your family.”
3. “Your third eye — do you always conceal it?”
4. “You are beautiful, Cassia. Do not let anyone or anything convince you otherwise.”
5. “I would not date to make fun of a lady’s feelings, especially not one who has captivated me since I first set eyes on her.”

When you finish the dialogue with her, the conversation will then allow you to say, “Why don’t we talk about something else?” then one of the first options, after you pick that, is, “Let’s talk about us shall we?” which will indicate that you already have a romantic relationship with her.

What is the Best Gift Can You Offer Cassia?

If you’ve been paying attention to the dialogue besides just clicking on the options the guide tells you to choose, you’ll know that Cassia loves books. You’ll notice that she will be hiding one of your books when you’re talking to her, and she will share things about going around your library.

So, what better gift to give her than her book collection?

To grant Cassia her library, there will be an option in the game where you can talk to her about gifts, and one of the options is to give her a library. But you must remember, getting her a bunch of books isn’t enough to romance her completely.

Since Cassia is said to have had a rough upbringing, being raised in secret, it would do a lot for the character if you would show her a lot of support. That’s why it’s necessary to also give her a lot of compliments about her appearance and powers (i.e., “You are beautiful, Cassia. Do not let anyone or anything convince you otherwise”)

In Chapter 2, there is also a dialogue option where you can send birds to Cassia’s quarters. It’s said that deepening your bond with her is necessary, so make sure to do that.  

Story-wise, it connects to the metaphor of Cassia herself being a bird locked in a cage, so it would be a significant gesture for her if you sent her some actual birds to her room.
