Elden Ring Nightreign Patch 1.02 Aims to Fix Brutal Solo Difficulty
Developer FromSoftware sent a tweet on Friday via the official Elden Ring account about the upcoming changes in patch 1.02. It includes two big changes that will immensely help solo runs: automatic revival and more runes.
In Elden Ring Nightreign, players are dropped on the island of Limveld to survive for three in-game days to take on the Nightlord. The task is tough enough for a team, but the difficulty ramps up when playing solo, as the bosses are still a chore, as they're meant to be beaten by three players.
Automatic revival is a one-time revive for solo players to take down the bosses, and it will help tremendously. Boss battles are tough solo, so being able to revive yourself will make the fights more manageable.
Gaining more runes will also be a big help. Runes act both as the currency and experience points in Elden Ring Nightreign. The more you have, the higher level you can obtain, and players need to be the right level to properly defeat a boss, otherwise, they're too weak to do any damage and not survive any hits.

Patch 1.02 for Elden Ring Nightreign will come out sometime next week. It will also add some other fixes to the game, along with improving solo play. Patch 1.01 went into effect on Thursday, right before the game's early access launch. FromSoftware didn't provide many details about the changes made in that update, but some players did say they noticed solo runs were slightly easier.
Elden Ring Nightreign is available now for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles for $40. Owning the original Elden Ring is not required to play this game.

Today's Wordle #1508 Hints And Answer For Tuesday, August 5th
Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle It's hot out. I suppose that's normal for August, but sometimes it just wears me down. The evenings are lovely, though. Nothing like a perfect summer evening, the sun finally setting. The night air cool but not cold. It's perfect. Of course, we're here to solve a Wordle, not wax poetic about balmy summer nights. Let's solve it! Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

The Clue: This Wordle has far more consonants than vowels. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. DRONE was actually a fantastic opening guess today, leaving me with a yellow and green box and just 19 remaining words. At first, I thought STORY might be the Wordle. I was so close! Only two words remained and I debated between STORK and STORM. I was pretty sure we'd had STORM in the past, however, so I went with STORK and lucky for me, I was right! This Wordle made me think of the film Children Of Men, a fantastic movie that I just wrote about recently. The film is about a dystopian future where women are no longer able to have babies. There's a joke that Michael Caine's character, Jasper, tells. It goes like this: I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 point for beating the Bot. The Bot gets -1 for guessing in five (something we rarely see!) and -1 for losing to me. At last, I take the lead in August, making up for a disastrous start to the month. Erik: 0 points Wordle Bot: -1 points The word "stork" comes from Old English storc, which is of Germanic origin. It is related to Old High German storah and Middle Dutch storc. The word likely imitates the bird's call or is derived from a root meaning "stiff" or "rigid," possibly referring to the bird's stiff-legged stance. The ultimate origin is uncertain, but it is common across Germanic languages. Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more here on this blog!

A Quarter of a Million People Have Experienced ‘Baldur's Gate 3' by Giving Withers Big Naturals
The brilliance of Baldur's Gate 3 is that it takes a seemingly linear story and makes it damn near infinite. On the surface, it's a game about a player recruiting friends to try and get a parasite out of their brain. But each and every decision the player makes beyond that sends massive ripples across the game. Every choice branches off on a new path, then a new path, and by the end, you realize you can play through the game over and over and never experience the exact same things twice. Larian Studios officially released Baldur's Gate 3 two years ago today, August 4, and to celebrate its birthday, the company just released a mountain of incredibly specific, nerdy, and weird stats. (Much as it did last year.) One, for example, is that once players were allowed to modify the game in their own ways, over 250,000 people downloaded a mod that allowed one of the key figures in your party, Withers, to have large, natural breasts. Why? Who cares! It just made the game more fun for people when they talked to Withers to see that Withers had a massive rack. You can see all the birthday stats on this blog page, but here are a few others. There are many, many more stats too if you head over to this post. Writing about it makes me want to dive back into my own game, where I have about 50 save points that can take me into new directions with my player, a short, stocky, grey-haired rogue. Then you remember that's just a molecule in the mountain of the game, considering all the different characters you can create. What are your best Baldur's Gate 3 memories? Are you one of the lucky 250,000? Let us know below. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Samsung's 27-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor Is Cheaper on Amazon Than on Samsung's Own Site
If you've spent all of your money on a fantastic gaming PC and have just realized you also need to get a monitor as well, then you might have the fear setting in. Don't let it in though, because you can find some really good gaming monitors out there which are actually reasonably priced, and better yet, on sale. Right now, Amazon has an excellent deal on that means you can pick up this Samsung 27-inch S39C Curved Gaming Monitor for just $140. That's 39% off the normal price of $230, and that's a very solid amount of money off. This deal won't last forever though, so if you do decide you want it, make sure you buy it quickly to avoid missing out. See at Amazon Gaming monitors excel in a few different ways. The main thing a lot of them have going for them isn't actually about the quality of the visuals, but the speed of them. It's really important that you can see more frames to succeed when it comes to competitive gaming, which is why a good refresh rate is so important, but it's also important that the latency isn't too high, or you'll feel input lag all the time. This gaming monitor has a sizeable 27-inch screen with full HD visuals to help you stay properly immersed. The 75Hz refresh rate means that you'll be able to see up to 75 frames per second has well, which is enough for all but the most hardcore gamers out there. It has a fairly low response rate of four milliseconds too, so you'll get a really good feeling of responsiveness from your games. Along with that, it has a bunch of features which really help it perform well here. Along with AMD FreeSync to make sure your monitor can figure out the right settings, it also has Game Mode for boosted performance, a frameless design to reduce the overall clunkiness of the monitor, and built-in speakers. That last one can be a huge win, especially given how many of us usually end up just turning up some headphones and hoping for the best. This monitor is a solid pickup at $230, but at $140, this is a great purchase for those looking for a solid monitor that's not going to cost them an arm and a leg. It's got enough power for just about anything you could want from it, so make the most of this deal quickly. See at Amazon
