FromSoftware《黑暗靈魂》惡夢地圖「病村」，只有10種木頭模型複製貼上
FromSoftware 旗下經典遊戲《黑暗靈魂》（Dark Souls）初代，本身就是以高難度挑戰各種「惡意」聞名，其中「病村」更是許多玩家的惡夢。然而，近日一位模組製作者 Grimrukh 發現，這個令人聞風喪膽的地圖，竟然僅由 10 種不同的木頭 3D 模型複製貼上而成。
病村是《黑暗靈魂》中最具代表性的地圖之一，由搖搖欲墜的木製平台、狹窄的通道以及致命的毒沼澤組成。玩家在這張圖會遇到各種敵人的埋伏，還要小心腳下可怕的陷阱...等，堪稱遊戲中最具挑戰性的區域之一。然而，Grimrukh 在製作《黑暗靈魂：Nightfall》大型模組時，就表示他發現這個複雜的地圖，實際上是由 2 塊木板、3 根木棍和 5 片木質面板等 共 10 種 3D 模型組合而成，全部都是複製貼上。
Fun fact: the entirety of Blighttown, as far as I can tell, is built from scaled copy/pastes of these ten bits of wood.(today's fun fact is brought to you from Grim's cave, where he is working on Nightfall almost every day and isn't allowed to leave until it's done) pic.twitter.com/uuMupMAtOU

而這也引發了玩家對遊戲開發技術的討論，畢竟當年由於各種硬體和儲存空間上的限制，開發者不得不想出各種方式來進行最佳化，減少遊戲本身的容量。如今隨著硬體的進步， 1TB 起跳的 SSD 隨處可見，許多遊戲開發者也不再像過去那般節省。當然，這個有趣的「病村」真相，更是證明了 FromSoftware 在遊戲開發上的高效。

Elden Ring Nightreign players finally discover where the game's most mysterious key item leads, and it's humiliating
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Elden Ring Nightreign players have finally figured out what a mysterious item found in the game does, and it is a touch underwhelming. While FromSoftware games are known for being cryptic, one rare pickup in Elden Ring Nightreign had a ton of community members stumped. Players could find the Cord End key item during a typical Nightreign run, but outside of a brief description saying "Gain entry somewhere," there were no clues as to what the Cord End was for – or more specifically, where it was for. However, some Elden Ring Nightreign players on Twitter (spotted by Automaton) have finally figured it out. And perhaps unsurprisingly, it opens a random, uninteresting door in the world. But of course, opening the door isn't the exciting bit, it's what lies beyond that matters, right? Naturally with such a rare item that has such an obtuse usage, there has to be something amazing behind this hidden alas, instead of a legendary weapon, billions of runes to level yourself up like mad, or a new character, it's a twig. Namely the Sacrificial Twig Talisman, which prevents you from losing any runes upon dying. Now, granted, this is a useful tool, but after all of that mystery, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed. Although, hopefully this is one of Elden Ring Nightreign's randomly generated things, and that you can eventually get something actually cool from it… but no one seems to have found that yet. Elden Ring Nightreign's top modder claims the game could theoretically support "up to 127 players" somewhere down the line.

CAA Says It's Got Range On Camera In Trade-Secrets Theft & Talent-Poaching Suit; Uberagency Claims Rival Was 'Fully Aware Of The Legal Risk'
Range Media Partners' founders got caught with their sticky fingers in the CAA trade-secrets cookie jar, the Bryan Lourd-run uberagency claims in an amended complaint to its October 2024 lawsuit. Or put another another way: In the truest of Hollywood litigation tradition, CAA has uncovered what it believes is the smoking gun of smoking guns in the multi-tiered battle with former staffers now at the self-described management company. More from Deadline CAA Finally Goes After 'Unlawful' Range Media Partners For Stealing Confidential Agency Material & Being A Talent Agency In All But Name CAA Vs. Range Takes New Twists With Court Wins & Tactical Shifts As Arbitration Trial Set For Next Month 'The Righteous Gemstones' Edi Patterson Signs With Range Media Partners 'Newly uncovered video footage, documents, photographs, and secret Telegram chats reveal an extensive plot by Range's founders to steal from Creative Artists Agency, LLC, set up an illegal talent agency, and cover up its wrongdoing,' reads a heavily redacted amended complaint filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court by CAA's outside counsel at Paul Hastings. 'This is what we now know,' adds the complaint, which has grown from four to six claims. 'Driven by greed, hubris, the lure of shortcuts, and a willingness to betray trusting colleagues, a small group of then-current and former CAA agents in 2019 began plotting to leave CAA. Over the next months, they began stealing CAA's trade secrets, poaching talent and employees from CAA, designing and operating an unlicensed talent agency, and deliberately and systematically destroying evidence of Range's scheme [redacted].' 'They adopted spy-novel tropes to hide their plan,' CAA alleges of Range's founders — former CAA and eOne exec Peter Micelli, and CAA talent agents Jack Whigham, Michael Cooper, Mick Sullivan and Dave Bugliari — and what ends they went to in order to get their hands on CAA's crown jewels of strategy, technique and of course clients – big clients. 'They used tools to avoid detection and eliminate digital fingerprints, fully aware of the legal risk. Encrypted ephemeral messaging was used to hide their illegal acts, including Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They secured and used 'alternate' and 'burner' cell phones.' If this all sounds a bit like teenagers planning a banger of a weekend glamping in the mountains, you are picking up what the parental CAA is saying. Only here, capturing the interest and ambitions of the shifting agency world, the stakes might be a little higher than who brought the edibles and the WiFi hot spot. 'This conduct is illegal under multiple California laws, compelling CAA to take this action,' the suit reads. Today's filing comes almost a full five years after Micelli, Whigham, Cooper, Sullivan and Bugliari were among the well-connected core group that founded Range with big-bucks backing from hedge-fund kingpin and now New York Mets owner Steve Cohen. It also comes about nine months after the Artemis-owned CAA placed its initial complaint in the court docket to put what it calls Range's 'business model' of 'pursuit of unlawful profit through deception' under the legal and ethical microscope. What was allegedly stolen from CAA, according to CAA, was a lot. In a footnote in today's filing, there is a list: The trade secrets implicated here, at minimum, include the following materials: the confidential client and revenue lists that Whigham sent to his personal email address in March and June 2020; the hundreds of pages of confidential meeting notes that Sullivan sent to his personal email on his way out the door at CAA; the Open Directing Assignment and Open Casting Assignment 'grids' that Employee-1 obtained from CAA in August 2020; the client 'rundowns' that Sullivan sent to himself in August 2020; the highly confidential watermarked meeting information that Cooper's assistant emailed to her personal email account and then to her Range account and/or uploaded to Dropbox; certain confidential or watermarked scripts, and the highly confidential information [Bugliari's assistant] Wandling received from Employee-1 via Telegram and email. A preliminary list of these trade secret materials is attached as Appendix A. All of these documents contain nonpublic confidential information, gathered at significant expense from countless agents, executives, and employees in various roles at CAA. These materials, often watermarked because of their sensitivity, are not distributed to those outside the company and CAA takes additional measures to keep that information within CAA for the benefit of CAA. Frustratingly, the last line of this juicy footnote is redacted. Monday's filing adds two new claims, with a Violation of California Uniform Trade Secrets Act and Violations of California Penal Code Section 502(c) now in the mix for the various unspecified damages over $25,000 that CAA is seeking along with injunctive relief that essentially is intended to bring death by defenestration to the currently expanding Range. Like when CAA's suit was first filed last year, representatives from Range did not respond to Deadline's request for comment on the latest filing. This legal action is separate from the closed-door arbitration over equity going on simultaneously between the players here. CAA's main outside attorney had even more to say than what was in its filing Monday. 'As CAA's new complaint details: for months when they knew they were leaving CAA, multiple Range founders stole valuable information from CAA,' Bo Pearl told Deadline today. 'They took the hard work of CAA colleagues to accelerate Range and lure clients, all while being paid by CAA,' the Paul Hastings partner added. 'Despite Range's many attempts to rewrite history and the hubris to believe that laws don't apply to it, the evidence of Range's wrongdoing is crystal clear. Recently recovered emails, messages, photos, and videos reveal the depths of the deception. The Range founders' public pronouncements of righteousness and innocence are undercut by their every action, which will be laid bare in court.' That sounds like some serious smokin' in the boys room.

Kid Rock, Taylor Swift, Cooper Alan and more are being impersonated to scam fans online
Kid Rock, Taylor Swift, Cooper Alan and more are being impersonated to scam fans online Show Caption Hide Caption Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested in France Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France for failing to prevent criminal activity on the secure messaging app. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said her office's consumer protection team has seen an uptick of scams where the crooks are impersonating popular people. A Snoop Dogg imposter got money from a victim in Michigan via Cash App for exclusive merchandise that never arrived. Country musician Cooper Alan has a TikTok telling fans about scammers with fake accounts impersonating him. All of a sudden, an everyday Jane or Joe who is following a celebrity on social media, maybe someone like Kid Rock or Snoop Dogg, gets pinged with a message — and the star strikes up a conversation. Maybe, they noticed your picture on Facebook and think you're attractive. Maybe, they say you're a super fan who deserves a super deal on exclusive merchandise. Or they go so far as to declare that they feel that God is bringing you together. The star wonders if you'd want to buy a special VIP pass to a concert to get to know one another. Or maybe, this celebrity wants to help you and shares a tip on how to make money on cryptocurrency. No maybe about it, you could be about to lose $500 or $5,000 or $50,000 or more to a celebrity imposter. We're not just talking about people losing money to bad actors who impersonate megastars, like Reba McEntire or Taylor Swift. Who is Cooper Alan and why scammers love him Upstart country music singer Cooper Alan launched his music career by building his brand via TikTok and Instagram during the pandemic. Ironically, Alan is now in the spot of having to turn to social media to warn his fans about getting ripped off. Years ago, when he was in the eighth grade, according to a profile in 2021 in the Nashville Tennessean, Alan saw a Kid Rock concert in Greensboro, North Carolina. After hearing Kid Rock, Alan told his parents, "That's exactly what I want to do." Alan went viral in late 2020 after a mash-up challenge on TikTok, according to the Tennessean. The independent, 29-year-old artist has racked up more than 225 million streams, according to his online bio. He claims a "massive digital presence with more than 14 million followers across all social media platforms." Alan told a Tennessean reporter back in 2021 that so far his TikTok popularity was great, all love and no invasion of privacy. Now, though, he's got a TikTok video where he begins by saying that he's "kind of pissed off" about how he's being impersonated by fake accounts and scammers who steal money from his fans. He wonders how far things will have to go before social media platforms will take some action to put a stop to these types of scams. "This happens all the time, and it's not just me," according to the TikTok talk given by the native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Many celebrities who have built a fan following on social media are running into fake accounts set up by con artists. Alan said he's tired of nothing being done about it. "How many people have to be hurt by scammers/fake accounts before these platforms actually do something about it?" Alan asked in the TikTok. One fan lost $5,000 to a Cooper Alan fake account Alan — who has a show at the Grand Ole Opry: Opry 100 on June 10 — tells the story of meeting a woman who paid for a meet-and-greet ticket at a VIP program before another one of his other shows. She was "super sweet, very nice," Alan said. But then the woman leaned into him and whispered: "Have I been talking to you?" His answer was no. "She then says, 'I think I just got screwed out of $5,000,' " Alan said. Some fake account made it appear that she was talking to him, and convinced her that Alan was asking her for the money. He was in the bad position of telling her that, no, those conversations weren't real. Common money scams: Package delayed for tariffs? It may be a scam. "You could tell the hurt in her eyes," Alan said, "and just the feeling of being tricked." In the TikTok video, Alan makes it clear that he does not reach out to anybody directly. "If you think you're talking to me, you are not talking to me. And I will never, ever ask anybody to give me money. Love you guys, sorry this happens." Fans share their stories about orphanages and love In one TikTok, Alan asked fans who have been scammed or approached by scammers to share their stories. One fan responded by saying: "I had one Cooper asking for a donation for an orphanage." The fan was going to give money but claimed to first need permission from a financial adviser. The adviser's answer was a flat-out "No." Another fan claimed to be scammed by many who falsely claimed to be celebrities. "I have given money to Matteo." The reference wasn't more specific but Matteo Guidicelli, a 35-year-old actor, has warned his fans about celebrity scammers using his name and his wife, Sarah Geronimo's, name in an online scam with the tag line "National ID cash assistance." Another fan named Julie responded to the real Cooper Alan by saying that not one, but two Cooper imposter accounts had been getting very flirty and forward with her. Julie responded by saying: "Aren't you married?" Then the scammers claimed that Cooper Alan's wife had cheated on him with a team member. "It really pissed me off given that you write such beautiful songs about your lovely wife," wrote Julie. "People are trying to paint you both as cheaters; it's wrong." Alan noted that he has even received threatening emails from people who blame him for breaking up their marriage or fearing that their partner was leaving to run off with Alan. In another TikTok, Alan said he's literally reporting hundreds of fake accounts a week. I reached out to Alan's team to talk further about why scams are so upsetting to him. A spokesperson responded by email and stated: "Unfortunately, Cooper is unavailable for an interview at this time due to his schedule. We appreciate you reaching out here, thanks!" The contact did confirm that the TikTok I'm sharing with you in the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, is real. Alan has a long list of concerts, including one at Stix in Ludington, Michigan, on July 31 and another at the Berrien County Youth Fair in Berrien Springs, Michigan, on Aug. 13. As we move forward into the summer concert season, it might be a good time to remind people that celebrities aren't going to chat with you via a messaging app and ask you to pay $500 or more for new merch or special access. Another sign of a scam: Those impersonating celebrities will reach out via social media initially but then try to redirect the conversation onto platforms like Telegram or WhatsApp, Signal or another messaging application. Such platforms can enable scammers to create anonymous accounts and better hide their real identities. The scammers might even use voice messaging to make it seem like you're hearing the loving words from a celebrity, like Cooper Alan or Garth Brooks. Earlier this year, Johnny Depp wished his fans a Happy New Year and warned them via an Instagram post that scammers were impersonating him to try to get their money. "Today, AI can create the illusion of my face and voice," he said. "Scammers may look and sound just like the real me. But, neither I, nor my team, will ask you for money or your personal information." Depp noted that he does not offer "paid meetings, phone calls, club memberships or fan cards." Some tips: Don't send anyone you don't know money via Cash App, Venmo or another payment platform. Put down your smartphone and call someone. Ask a friend or family member if they think any communication could be a scam. Go online to see warnings about potential scams before engaging with anyone. Don't transfer money out of your bank account to send any payments via Bitcoin to celebrities or others you meet online. If you paid some money to a scammer, listen to your internal voice and don't pay any more money when more demands are made. Some victims report that they bought exclusive goods and then were told they need to pay another $200 for shipping. Why would anyone charge that high of a price? Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said her office's consumer protection team has seen an uptick of scams where the crooks are impersonating popular people. The office has received complaints about imposters claiming to be Snoop Dogg, Kid Rock, and even a four-star general, according to Danny Wimmer, a spokesperson for Nessel. "The Snoop Dogg imposter secured money from the victim via Cash App for exclusive merchandise that never arrived," he said. The other two imposters, Wimmer said, enticed their victims to buy cryptocurrencies. "In each of these cases, the scammers made initial contact with the victim via social media, and in each case the target lost money to the scam," Wimmer said. Another recent celebrity scam, he said, involved a complaint where the scammer was impersonating Garth Brooks and appeared to be striking up a love interest. Unfortunately, celebrity imposter scams are stealing real dollars from retirees and others. While it might seem amusing to some that a Nashville star could be looking for love in Wyandotte, the reality is that social media platforms built their powerful brands by giving us all the illusion that somehow we're more connected than ever. Somehow, we live in a world where some days it does not seem improbable that a 29-year-old singer would want to chat. And if you're good-hearted or lonely or just looking for a friend, well, you might be more vulnerable than ever to one of these pitches.
