Destiny 2 Update 3.2.1.1 is live now, fixing three issues. Hotfix 3.2.1.1 fixes an issue where players could exit the play area during the Glassway Strike boss fight.
Players were using the glitch in the Grandmaster version of the Nightfall Strike to slip into an area where the bosses couldn’t damage them, allowing them to fire at the enemies in safety. Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the toughest challenges in Destiny 2 and give out some of the best rewards, so the bug essentially allowed players to easily farm it.

The update also solves an issue where the Worldshaper ornament for Izanagi’s Burden would sometimes cause ADS issues when zooming in. The third and final fix in this update is that an issue where the Catalyst Competitor Triumph was not showing for players who completed it during the Guardian Games.
This hotfix comes in the wake of the mid-season update, which focused on balancing weapons in the player versus player modes as well as fixing bugs. Many of the gun balance changes came from Bungie’s desire to rework the entire class of “special” weapons that had been taking over the PvP modes. The patch also included a nerf for the Exotic scout rifle Dead Man’s Tale, which had also been dominating the Crucible meta.
Bungie also detailed how it will be overhauling the reputation system when Season 15 starts on August 24. The changes to the system are aimed at streamlining reputation resets as well as lessening the impact winning/losing PvP matches has on reputation progression.
A fix for the issue preventing Switch owners from picking up an expansion for Streets of Rage 4 is currently being worked on and will arrive in the “following days” according to developer Dotemu.
Fans of the latest entry in the long-running beat-’em-up franchise can pick up the new DLC starting today, titled Mr. X Nightmare. The expansion adds multiple new characters, a survival mode, moves, weapons, and more to the game. Currently, anyone playing the game on PC, PS4, and Xbox One should have no problem purchasing the DLC.
Switch owners however have encountered a bug that prevents them from purchasing the expansion. On Twitter, Dotemu acknowledged the issue, saying, “We are all hands on deck to remedy this issue for fans and will be posting updates on the ETA for when we anticipate the fix to be live.”
Currently, our best projections are that the fix will come in following days but beyond that, we are unable to give a more accurate timeframe. This is extremely unfortunate for fans of the game who’ve waited patiently for the DLC and we apologize unreservedly. 2/3
However, Switch players won’t be able to purchase Mr. X Nightmare for at least the next day. In a follow-up tweet, Dotemu said that “our best projections are that the fix will come in the following days but beyond that, we are unable to give a more accurate timeframe.”
Along with the DLC, a massive patch has hit Streets of Rage 4. The patch addresses issues with every character in the game, with some changes being applied to the entire roster while others received more specific buffs or nerfs.
Since its launch, Streets of Rage 4 has received regular DLC drops, with the latest adding Shiva to the beat-’em-up this past May.
When it comes to gaming and streaming, the light in the room is more important than we think. An hours-long gaming marathon is a blast, but it can cause eye strain, headaches, and cause some serious distraction without the proper lighting. The light is even more important if you’re streaming for an audience. Poor lighting can make your stream look grainy, unprofessional, and boring to watch; and when there’s so much competition for streamers, everything counts.
So when you need good, soft lighting that doesn’t cause eye strain or ruin great video the way that harsh, bright bulbs do. You’re going to need a customizable lamp that can do everything you need, all in one package. That’s where gaming lights like the Govee Lyra Smart Corner Floor Lamp comes in.
Bring your room lighting into the modern era
Govee has designed a light that is ready for the 21st century and has taken advantage of technology to change it from just a light to an essential part of any media experience. With the Govee Home app, you can control not only the brightness and the warmth of the light from your phone, you can also customize the colors, so you can set the lighting to exciting and vibrant for an intense game-a-thon or something softer and calmer for when you’re ready to turn in for the night (or early morning!). Be sure to fill your room with ambient light by facing the lamp towards the wall and let it reflect throughout your room!
This floor lamp, complete with RGBIC technology is also great for entertainment outside of gaming. If you have children and are looking to create a fun environment indoors, then the floor lamp can work great to delight and amaze them. Watching the big game with a friend? Use the color control to provide the perfect soft lighting that emphasizes the action. You’ll easily be able to see why James Bruce of Makeuseof.com said: “If you want a stylish, minimalistic floor lamp, capable of stunning multicolor dynamic and music reactive displays, along with plenty of customizable options and app control, the Govee Lyra is well worth a look. It’s certainly the fanciest floor lamp we’ve ever seen, perfect for everything from impromptu living room raves to subdued romantic nights in.”
Govee has produced a product that can turn a simple floor lamp into a room-defining appliance. That’s why it’s rated 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
A sleek, futuristic look
A number of IR products are homogenous, depressing, or bland–not so with Govee. The futuristic design is sleek and space-conscious, ensuring that no matter the size of your room, you’ll be able to add a touch of futuristic flair without losing square footage. Anyone looking to jump into the trend of smart home products will love this floor lamp. Whether you want to control the color and brightness from your phone, or have Alexa do it via voice control, your lamp can be adjusted easily and quickly to match any situation. A romantic evening, an exciting gaming marathon, or just some quiet time with a good book will be enhanced by setting the right atmosphere.
With our new normal meaning working and studying from anywhere, portable tech has never been more useful – especially if you want to take advantage of remote working to travel more. But, did you know that the lightest, most up-to-date way of working remotely actually requires no laptop at all? Instead, all you need is a futuristic projection keyboard that simply connects to your smartphone.
One of the best around? The successfully Kickstarter-funded Serafim Keybo, the “world’s most advanced projection keyboard,” and today, we’ve found it on sale for just $84.99 – that’s a 22% discount off the regular price of $109.
Simply connect this game-changing gadget to your device via Bluetooth, and it will turn any flat surface into a real, working QWERTY keyboard in a second. With multiple language layouts, you can easily work and type anywhere, anytime, with all the functionality of a regular keyboard – but without having to carry around the physical thing.
On top of that, it also doubles as a piano keyboard, with a built-in music app that allows you to switch to playing piano, guitar, bass, and drums using the laser tech, too. For musicians, that means no more carrying heavy instruments in order to practice while you’re traveling – and if you want to learn, there’s no simpler way to start out.
As if that wasn’t enough, this handy gadget can even be used as an emergency power bank, thanks to its premium 2000mAh battery.
Best travel gadget ever? We think so. We’re not the only ones, either. With such game-changing tech, perhaps it’s no surprise that this advanced keyboard has also been featured in Tech Crunch, Mashable, CNET Japan, Product Hunt, and many more leading publications.

Nintendo confirmed to IGN that the Zelda and Loftwing amiibo figure has been impacted by “unforeseen” shipping delays. As such only a handful of the amiibo orders will be available on July 16, with the rest arriving at a later time.
In a statement provided by Nintendo of America, the company says, “The Zelda & Loftwing amiibo figure is currently impacted by unforeseen shipping delays. As a result, only a small portion of the Zelda & Loftwing will be available on its scheduled July 16 launch date. Additional shipments are delayed until August. We will ship additional amiibo to retailers as soon as they arrive.”
Nintendo of America also tells IGN that this delay should not impact other amiibo figures currently.
The Zelda and Loftwing amiibo was meant to be released alongside The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. But as a result of the delay, it appears that only a small number of pre-orders will be fulfilled. The rest will be shipped out as Nintendo receives more stock in August.
While amiibo are popular in their own right as collectibles, the Skyward Sword amiibo comes with an additional quality of life feature that some fans may be disappointed to go without at launch.
As previously announced, the new amiibo will let Link return to the sky whenever and wherever without having to go to designated save points like in the original Wii release. Using the amiibo while in the sky will let Link return to the same spot on the surface and this feature works in both dungeons and buildings as well.
While Nintendo didn’t provide the exact reason for the shipping delay, the company seeks to fulfill orders. Unfortunately, it seems some folks will just have to wait a bit longer. The amiibo will still look nice on your shelf and the added functionality isn’t mandatory to play the game.
IGN is currently working its way through The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Check out our review-in-progress to keep up with our impressions of the Zelda re-release so far, or check out our original Skyward Sword Wii review.

Harley Quinn has become something of a throughline for DC movies, if such a thing exists. Margot Robbie’s iconic version of the character has appeared in disparate movies including David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey, and now James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. In all these ensembles, she’s stolen the show. And in a recent Q&A following a screening of The Suicide Squad, Gunn said that Robbie is “the greatest actor [he’s] ever worked with.”
“I came to Margot, and we talked about the script after she read it,” Gunn said. “And when we said something about Harley, she would always be like, ‘Yeah, but you know more about her than I do.’ Because I’ve read every single comic book Harley Quinn has ever been in. I’ve watched every animated movie she’s ever been in. So she has no ego, is one of the reasons why she’s probably the greatest actor I’ve ever worked with–not because she says I know more than she does, but because she just comes into it in such a way that she’s willing to go as far as she possibly can with the character.

“And she’s incredibly prepared, incredibly disciplined, able to do the action stuff, able to do the comedy, able to do the drama, and she’s an incredibly well rounded actor.”
Continuing on the subject of Harley, Gunn pointed out that the comic book characters he often adapts for his movies, including The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy, tend to be thinner on the page than typical A-list superheroes and villains.
“Usually when I’m writing most of the characters I’ve written, I’m sort of recreating them for the screen,” the director said. “It’s probably one of the reasons why I’m attracted to characters who have been in a few comic books, or characters like Star-Lord, who never really had a well defined personality. …I mean, Bloodsport [for example] isn’t especially well drawn or well known.”
That’s obviously not the case with Harley Quinn, a character Gunn nevertheless has high praise for in general. “One of the reasons why I think people were so attracted to Margot in this role from the beginning is because she’s so perfectly embodied a character who is actually one of the most well written characters in superhero comics that’s ever existed, from the time she first existed in [Batman: The Animated Series] with [Harley Quinn creator] Paul Dini,” he said. “And so it really is about Paul Dini’s initial character, and really staying true to that.”
Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad
Despite the disparate writers and directors involved in the movies in which Robbie has portrayed Quinn so far, it feels like the character has had an arc, from her tumultuous relationship with Jared Leto’s Joker in the original Suicide Squad, to the aftermath of their breakup in Birds of Prey, and onward into The Suicide Squad, which features no mention of the Joker whatsoever.
“I also felt like there were things that we could bring out in this movie that we didn’t see as much in the other two movies. She is the chaotic trickster,” Gunn said. “And to me, Harley Quinn belongs on the wall next to the Batman and Spider-Man and Wonder Woman and Superman and the Hulk, when you’re talking about the all time greatest superheroes–or whatever, comic book, she’s not a superhero, but, you know, comic book characters. She’s up there, and she deserves to be there, and to give her her full chaotic life on screen was a big goal of mine.”
