The Dream SMP Minecraft server is known for its rich storytelling. Every streamer who is a part of the server creates and tells their canonical character’s story in their own unique way. Tales From the SMP is streamer Karl Jacob’s storyline for his own time-traveling character on the server. While most of the lore on the Dream SMP is broken into smaller groups and pieces, Tales is unique because it allows anyone on the server to participate without directly changing their own character’s storylines.

If you play a lot of live service games, you should be used to encountering error codes that keep you from playing your game of choice. VALORANT is no different and often has multiple issues with error codes plaguing its playerbase in waves, usually after big updates go live.  For VALORANT, there are several types of error codes, but the ones labeled VAN typically only relate to connection issues. Most of them don’t even have specific listings on the Riot Games support page and only share basic details about what the problem might be.

Eternals are League of Legends’ version of stat-tracking achievements and have been a part of the game since 2020. While each champion has a common set of Eternals that track your general progress in-game, champions also have tailor-made sets of Eternals that track specific achievements you can unlock. Eternals have even more purpose, as they’re used to complete specific challenges introduced to the game’s client in 2022. Some of the most notable Eternal-related challenges can be completed by “rekindling” an Eternals set.

If you’re looking to improve at Fortnite, reviewing your replays will be one of the greatest steps you can take toward becoming a better player. Not many Fortnite fans spare the time to watch their replays thoroughly, but the ones that do often spot the errors in their gameplay and try to avoid making the same mistakes in their next match. In addition to helping players improve, replays are also essential for content creators.

The Overwatch League may not be putting on its usual All-Stars events in 2021, but the league is making up for that by offering fans the chance to acquire previously limited-time skins from the “vault.”  Six skins from previous All-Stars events will be available from Sept. 7 to 26.

Silco, one of the main characters from Riot Games’ hit animated series Arcane, is set to join Teamfight Tactics as a playable unit next year. But Silco won’t be appearing on League of Legends’ champion roster, Riot Games has confirmed.  “Typically, we’re able to adapt League of Legends champions to Teamfight Tactics, with, well, a lot of work, but Silco isn’t coming to League of Legends, so we’ve had to build him from the ground up,” Riot said in a TFT developer update posted earlier today.

Nintendo’s Switch is a versatile console that allows gamers to play in handheld mode or on a TV. To complement the console’s versatility, it also comes with Joy-Con controllers that also offer multiple configurations. Joy-Cons can fit together to work in paired mode or split into two to play with a friend. These controllers also work in portable or handheld mode, depending on whether they are connected to the dock or not.

Just like with many other live-service titles, players can easily run into a number of errors that will impact their experience logging into or playing VALORANT.  The FPS has a dedicated page on Riot Games’ support website due to the sheer number of potential errors that could pop up, and two of those listed error codes are numbered 43 and 46. And because the codes are so closely numbered, the general type of issue is similar between the two.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus added new elements to basically every facet of the core Pokémon franchise’s formula, including some slight changes to how Shiny Pokémon encounters will work.  There will be new boosted methods to entice Shiny hunters, even if early data shows that every Static Encounter, or Pokémon that are always going to be encountered at a certain location or set point in quests, are Shiny-locked. This means players won’t be able to reset until those Pokémon appear as a Shiny.
