‘Valorant' 10.06 Patch Notes Bring KAY/O Rework, Yoru And Vyse Nerfs
The new Valorant patch is here.
Riot Games has released the patch notes for Valorant 10.06, which feature a slight rework for KAY/O and nerfs for both Yoru and Vyse.
The 10.06 patch notes are the first for a while to bring significant changes to the top agents, but even then some have barely been touched. There are few agents who have been given some changes, mostly in the form of nerfs and rebalances, which should give the current meta a little shakeup, even if this isn't the sweeping changes that people may have been hoping for.
KAY/O gets the biggest list of changes, in an attempt to shorten the skill gap between the best players on the agent and the worst. The main way this is being done is by making some changes to his flash, which should now be easier to coordinate with the rest of your team. The full list of patch notes has the exact numbers if you want to check them out, but the simple version is that a lot of the values have been changed to make it easier to work with, including a 0.8 second windup after it bounces to make it easier to coordinate other movements after throwing it out. The resurrection time on his ultimate has also been reduced, which again should make it a little more impactful and easier to combo with the rest of your team.
Elsewhere in the patch Yoru gets a somewhat significant nerf in the form of a 100 credit increase in the cost of Fakeout. It will now cost 200 credits instead of the previous 100, which should reduce how much utility Yoru can take throughout the game and make him a little less of a menace.
Finally Vyse gets a big nerf, with the duration on both Razorvine and Shear being reduced by a few seconds. This should mean that she is no longer able to control space for long periods of time, and hopefully reduce just how annoying she can be.
The 10.06 patch notes also bring a lot of bug fixes to Valorant, which will surely please anyone who has run into an issue or two over the past few weeks. However, with Valorant in a reasonably stable place since other recent patches there isn't all that many changes here to shout about, and chances are there won't be many in the upcoming weeks either.

Tech entrepreneur pushes plan for ‘Silicon Valley 2.0' on Bay Area waterfront
A Silicon Valley entrepreneur is circulating plans for a futuristic tech enclave in Alameda, on land that is already slated for development. The pitch for Frontier Valley, a 512-acre waterfront complex that combines dense residential buildings with space to launch drones and rockets, surfaced on social media Sunday and instantly went viral. It confounded officials in Alameda, who said the project's founder, James Ingallinera, had not contacted them about his proposal. Cloaked in flashy visuals and brash marketing language, the idea for Frontier Valley still seems inchoate. Ingallinera envisions his development as a special jurisdiction independent from the Bay Area and the state, a form of zoning that would require an emergency declaration from President Trump. Frontier Valley fits the template of a 'Freedom City,' or deregulated area meant to serve as a vast open-air laboratory for new technology. Trump has vowed to build ten of them. Renderings of Frontier Valley show a landscape that resembles the world of a video game, with steel zeppelins and hovercrafts floating among cylindrical glass towers. Promotional materials on the website advertise a culture of 'radical moonshots and freedom,' steeped in techno-optimism and the celebration of personal liberty, with ambition to match Trump's erstwhile advisor, Elon Musk. The plan was first reported by the Nerd Reich website. 'This is the Manhattan Project of our time,' Ingallinera says in a video posted on his project's website. He also describes Frontier Valley as 'a wholly new, self-contained, Silicon Valley 2.0,' with loose regulations and complete independence from both the Bay Area and the state. According to his LinkedIn profile, Ingallinera previously founded another company that built co-habitational dwellings in San Francisco and New York City, aimed at young techies who would sleep in bunk beds. He also advised a nonprofit dedicated to whole brain emulation, the concept that scientists could create a digital replica of the human brain. Ingallinera did not respond to inquiries from the Chronicle on Monday. A spokesperson for the city of Alameda said the parcel that Ingallinera's group is targeting, a former naval air station called Alameda Point, has other development projects underway. These include a Veterans Administration medical facility and columbarium that Congress has authorized and funded, as well as a 158-acre open space park, created in partnership with East Bay Regional Parks District. 'No reasonable fact supports the proposed declaration of emergency at Alameda Point,' city spokesperson Sarah Henry said in a statement, noting that city leaders fully support turning the area, now home to a shoreline park, several craft breweries, two ferry terminals, into a 'vibrant community of commercial, industrial, and residential uses, including many high-tech and bio-tech uses.' Ingallinera is eyeing land adjacent to those buzzy transit hubs and dining corridors, which is currently empty but will ultimately house the park and VA medical campus. As of now it has no infrastructure, Henry said.

The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. STALE was an excellent opening guess, leaving me with one green box and just 60 remaining words. Of course, I didn't know how close I'd come on my first guess, and unfortunately I got very unlucky here on out. CHOIR only cut that number to 17 and left me with one more yellow box. In an attempt to rustle up another vowel, GUARD only cut my solutions down to five and gave me no new boxes at all. I guessed PRAWN because I knew both PRANK and BRAWN were possibilities, but I guess I should have gone with PRANK because that was the Wordle. Oh well. Today's Wordle Bot I get -1 for guessing in five and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and +1 for beating me. This narrows our June totals to: Erik: 11 points Wordle Bot: 8 points The word prank likely comes from Middle English pranken, meaning "to show off" or "to adorn oneself." It may be of Low German origin, related to prunken ('to strut, show off'). The modern sense of "a mischievous trick" emerged in the 16th–17th century, evolving from the idea of showy or playful behavior.

Fate of Yankee trade ship Tonquin brought to life in play at Tofino's Village Green
By Nora O'Malley Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Tofino, B.C. – Children playing 'Tla-o-qui-aht warriors' paddled in cardboard cutouts of dugout canoes around the wooden pirate ship play structure at Tofino's Village Green to recount the fate of the Tonquin. The 269-ton American trade ship sank to the bottom of Clayoquot Sound in 1811 after being overwhelmed by the warriors – and blew up. As told by Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation's Gisele Martin and her father Joe Martin on June 11, the Tonquin's goal was to establish a trade post and claim the region as part of the United States of America. The Tonquin's captain Jonathan Thorn, who was played by Tofino resident Hugo Hall, was brash, and not well-liked by his crew. Thorn wanted to trade for sea otter furs with Gisele's great, great grandfather Nookmis. But when Nookmis told him the price for one pelt was three blankets, 30 beads, 30 buckets and three knifes, Thorn scoffed and shoved the otter pelt in Nookmis' face. In the novel Astoria by American historian Washington Irving, which chronicles the entire journey of the Tonquin, Thorn is said to have 'slapped' the chief in the face. The next day, angry Tla-o-qui-aht warriors boarded the ship and threw the captain overboard. 'The captain got clubbed by the women and disappeared under water,' Gisele regaled the audience on the sunny June 11 afternoon. One crew member, James Lewis, who was played by Clayoquot Action's Dan Lewis, allegedly scuttled to the bottom of the ship and lit five tons of gun powder. 'KA-BOOM!' Joe exclaimed as the children ran around the mock Tonquin ship with sparklers. 'Sparks flew and Nookmis got thrown overboard.' Tonquin's crew and roughly 100 brave Tla-o-qui-aht warriors perished in the sea. Martin says Lewis became the first 'suicide bomber' of Clayoquot Sound. 'People in Opitsaht could see the mass of the ship for three years poking out of the water. During that time, Tla-o-qui-aht became very diligent about protecting this coast,' said Gisele. It wasn't until 20 years later that Tla-o-qui-aht started having a relationship with some of the British trading companies. 'That's why Tofino is here today and that's also why this is not part of the United States today. We've never sold this land. We've never ceded it; we've never signed it away in a treaty,' said Gisele, noting Tla-o-qui-aht's fight to protect Meares Island from old growth logging, preserving the source of Tofino's drinking water. '[I]n 1984 Tla-o-qui-aht took the government all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. In their own courts, the government could not prove that they owned this land.' Forty-one years ago, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, with support from the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council (NTC), famously declared Meares Island the 'Wanachis Hilth-huu-is Tribal Park' under Nuu-chah-nulth law. The Meares Declaration protected the old-growth forest from being logged, and is recognized as one of the largest demonstrations of civil disobedience in North America. Prior to the conservation stance, there was no 'tribal park' in existence under provincial or federal legislation. The wreck of the Tonquin was never found… But one day in the spring of 2000, a local crab fisherman found his trap hooked on the end of an old, old anchor – that anchor, encrusted with blue trading beads, is believed to be the Tonquin's. The anchor is on display at the Village Green in the gazebo to this day and belongs to the Tla-o-qui-aht. -30- Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
