Valorant is getting its first new gun in 4 years, a ‘high impact, double-barreled sniper rifle’-

When new guns appear in Call of Duty, it’s an occurrence so regular that you’d be forgiven for not even noticing. When Valorant gets a new gun, it’s the biggest thing to happen in Riot’s competitive FPS since launch. After almost four years, a new sniper rifle is on the block: the Outlaw, a double-barreled sniper that can two-shot enemies to the chest. It costs 2,400 credits, placing it between the economical Marshal (950)  and the one-shot-kill Operator (4,700).

At first glance, the Outlaw is the sort of quirky, antiquated firearm that’d feel at home in the mucky swamps of Hunt: Showdown more than the neo-future streets of Valorant, but its outdated design gives it a distinct role in Valorant’s carefully curated weapon locker. It only packs two shots before a long reload, bu…

What a killer year for roguelikes- Former Dead Cells developers are now competing against each other with 3 great-looking action games-

Watch On

Let’s put aside Hades 2 as the obvious juggernaut of the roguelike world at the moment and reflect on the embarrassment of riches spewing forth from France in 2024. Right now we have not one, not two, but three wholly distinct but spiritually similar action roguelikes coming from folks who created, developed, or expanded Dead Cells, one of the most celebrated action games of the last seven-ish years. 

First announced was Dead Cells development studio Motion Twin’s next game, Windblown. It’s not out yet, but I got an hour-long look at it that was extremely promising. Then came The Rogue Prince of Persia from Evil Empire, the studio that took over maintaining and pumping out quality DLC for Dead Cells for several years running. It’s currently in early access, and we qu…

You can pick up 5 years of Destiny 2 content at $4 per inscrutable proper noun on Humble Bundle right now-

One of these days, I’m gonna get really into Destiny 2. Trust me. That’s why I constantly collect the free baubles I get for it from Twitch Prime: because I am absolutely, 100% going to figure out what the heck a Cayde-6 is any day now. Just as soon I beat Persona 3 Reload, finish this replay of KOTOR 1, and play every Final Fantasy game. I’ll probably finally get into EVE Online at the same time.

It’s this sickness of the mind, my friends, that has me earnestly debating whether I should pick up Humble Bundle’s Destiny 2: The Story So Far bundle, which contains five years of Destineering for a price low enough to set off all my ‘impulse buy’ nerves. Here’s what you can get at each tier and for how much:

  • For $40 (£31.50) you can get the Li…

Huzzah, the new anti-melting 12V-2×6 GPU power connector duly doesn’t melt in initial testing-

The new anti-melt 12V-2×6 GPU connector, replacement for the notoriously melty 12VHPWR connector, has undergone initial testing. And, hallelujah, it doesn’t melt.

Testing at cable manufacturer Linwell, by YouTube channel Hardware Busters, shows in excess of 600 watts coursing through the new connector for 15 minutes and only hitting 46°C at both ends of the cable. But here’s the really impressive bit. That applies both with the cable fully seated and barely in contact.

In other words, you can have the new 12V-2×6 only partially inserted and it won’t overheat. At least, it didn’t in this test, again with over 600 watts of power, which is a fair old lump of electricity.

Of course, this is just one test. With the old 12VHPWR connector overheating wasn’t a nailed on ce…

Small-caps in demand, but NFOs opportunities limited

The small-cap segment has been on fire in recent times, but mutual fund houses won’t be launching many new fund offers (NFOs) in the space, said market experts.

“Going forward, there won’t be too many launches in the small-cap funds because everybody already has a scheme,” Dhirendra Kumar, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Value Research said. He added that fund houses may have to resort to launching more index funds in the same space since there is no regulatory restriction on the latter.

In October, already 10 new fund offers are set to be launched. One already launched in the first week, while nine are ongoing. Out of these, there are two small-cap funds. Four of the active new fund offers are set to close on October 18, according to I…

Will Nifty begin Week with gains or fall in trade- See GIFT Nifty, FII data, F&O ban, crude, more before market opens

GIFT Nifty traded up 34 points, or 0.17%, at 19,734.50, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Monday. On Friday, the NSE Nifty 50 fell 0.22% to settle at 19,751.05, while the BSE Sensex shed 125.65 points to 66,282.74. 

“Weak revenue guidance of the IT sector and the current uptick in crude prices weighed on the sentiment. While higher-than-expected US inflation data pulled down the week’s early uptrend, which was positive on remark of less hawkish US Fed meeting. However, some optimism was visible from domestic factors like a steep decline in domestic inflation and impressive industrial production data, along with bright earnings expectations for Q2,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Service…
