South of Midnight is a thrilling adventure set in the Deep South that sees you take on the role of a Weaver, a mender who brings peace to distraught spirits. This narrative-forward experience is a simple (but at times emotionally powerful) tale that will keep most folks glued to the screen from beginning to end. If you’re considering diving into South of Midnight but are curious how long the folklore-laden journey takes to complete, read on for what you need to know.

South of Midnight will see you take on similar tasks in most of its 14 chapters: You’ll engage in some light puzzle-solving, fend off some baddies in combat-specific arenas, and then help bring some peace back to someone who desperately needs it. While this can begin to feel a bit repetitive later in the game, South of Midnight seems to understand when enough is enough, closing out just before it stretches itself too thin.
If you’re mostly just interested in South of Midnight’s story and not so much in scouring its levels for collectibles (more on those below), you can see the credits roll in around 8-10 hours on its easier difficulties. You could probably stretch this further if you opt for a greater challenge, of course.

But what if you’d like to see more of what South of Midnight has to offer? Well, you’ll need to be thorough in your exploration and round up multiple collectible types. However, the levels are mostly linear with relatively easy-to-spot side paths housing these notes, health upgrades, and currency called Floofs that can be used to buy new skills.
Discovering all of these additional collectibles, as well as completing a few simple combat tasks, will be required if you want to earn all of the game’s achievements. Doing so isn’t likely to extend your playtime too dramatically, though. Unless you’re playing on the hardest difficulty and struggling in combat encounters, you should be able to wrap everything up in about 15 hours.
South of Midnight is available now on Xbox Series X/S and Windows PCs.
Schedule 1 offers a ton of items, including different types of equipment items, workstations, mixing ingredients, decoration items, and more. As all of these items take up space in inventory, you can easily run out of space. Fortunately, with the new content update, you can sell the unnecessary items rather than just throwing or leaving them in an empty motel or room. In this guide, we will tell you how to sell items in Schedule 1.
How to Sell Items in Schedule 1
Players can sell their unnecessary items in Schedule 1 at the Pawn Shop. The Pawn Shop in the Northside of the city was recently just a building structure. With the new update, players can now enter the Pawn Shop and speak with Mick to sell any item except the product.
NOTE: You can offer him your products (drugs) like regularly. However, you cannot place the products in the selling spaces.
For those who are wondering, the Pawn Shop is located right beside the Bridge behind the Motel. Simply, go to the right side on the main road and you will see the Pawn shop in the front. Interact with the door to open and enter inside to speak with Mick. Here, select the “I’d like to sell something” option. It will show you five item spaces in which you can place different types of items.
Upon placing the items, press the “Start” option below. It will start a negotiating mini-game. Mick will offer low money, but you can counter his offer to get more for your item. However, you have to be reasonable with him, otherwise, he will agree to the asking price.
The easiest way to counter Mick’s price and get the best possible price is to keep an eye on Mick’s Temper on the left side. If your offer raises the meter too high, Mick will not accept to pay. Keep the meter right around in the center or a bit high to have a successful chance of selling your item for a 50% to 70% of its value.
Best Items to Sell in Schedule 1
As there are several items that you will get throughout the progression of your empire, you can sell most of the older equipment items and workstations. Instead of using the old Packaging Stations, Mixing Stations, Growers, etc., sell them to Mick. He will offer a generous amount of money to you for the items. Furthermore, you can also sell him the TV and a Lamp at the Motel Room for free. If you don’t use the TV for mini-games, sell it to earn some small cash.
That is all related to how to sell the items in Schedule 1.
It turns out an Elon Musk rage quit is a wonderful thing to behold. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has long been a controversial figure in politics. And once again, he’s proving to be an equally irritating feature in gaming spaces. His initial foray into trying to be a “Gamer” began with an infuriatingly terrible Elden Ring build. Everyone already hated that for just how transparently bad it was. But more recently, Musk took things a step further.
While he’s spent the last few months aiding the Trump administration in dismantling the federal government, he’s also spent time gaming. And if you’re not familiar with this whole saga, it’s kind of bizarre. The current hurricane of outrage began swirling early this year when his Path of Exile account was caught leveling while Musk himself was at the Trump inauguration. This effectively confirmed a long-standing rumor that Musk had been paying someone to play his account—known as boosting, where a higher-skilled player plays the account in your stead—to hilarious results. In short, everyone who watched Elon Musk actually play saw through his facade.
And now, he’s trying to fool everyone again. During a Saturday livestream of himself playing the free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)—where he was attempting to demonstrate the viability of Starlink for low-latency gaming—he’s now experienced the feature we’re all familiar with in gaming, online bullying. Polygon originally broke the story, cataloging some of the funnier moments that led to the Elon Musk rage quit.
For its part, the internet went mad, as it usually does. For one example, Twitter was a mixed bag. Some users joined in on the taunting, mocking other examples of Musk being terrible at video games. Others chose to defend the billionaire, maybe they’re hoping to curry some favor with the embarrassment of a gamer.
“Elon Musk just rage quit his Twitter stream after repeatedly dying to a tutorial boss in the new PoE2 patch on hardcore,” one X-formerly-Twitter user wrote.
Path of Exile 2‘s community was equally bemused by the entire affair. Reddit and the forums for the game were alight with all manner of mocking insults. They even took some of their more toxic taunting to the in-game chat—with users direct messaging him various insults—clearly designed to elicit this exact response of a rage quit.
Adding to the strange nature of the affair is Musk himself. All while chat taunted him, Musk simply blasted music through a subpar-quality microphone with a blank stare.
And of course, who could talk about Elon Musk’s tarnished gaming credentials without bringing up Twitch streamer, Quin69TV. The often-divisive personality savaged Musk in multiple videos, deeply undermining his cred with gamers. Quin spent a good chunk of a recent stream analyzing and deriding the gameplay.
“We’re going to see a live RIP, 100%” he remarked during the stream. Musk later died multiple times in early parts of Path of Exile 2. Quin continued mocking Musk, saying: “….It’s more like a jester…just seeing how slowly he does everything, it’s insane.”
You can see the full recap video below, it’s a great watch.
After the Elon Musk rage quit, his response drew even more ire.
“There’s a lot of r*tards in the chat,” he said at one point. This rant happened shortly before Musk ended his stream, while a user named HC_John_Wick repeatedly spammed “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART AHAAHAAHAAH! WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?” Elon used in-game features to block this user to the delight of people mocking him further.
Of course, there’s a legion of equally thin-skinned hypocrites decrying his treatment online. Twitter and other social media sites filled with people defending Musk (many of them bearing blue checks) and calling the behavior uncalled for and disrespectful. This coming from the same crowd that eagerly defends the use of slurs as “just part of being online” whenever someone has an issue with online harassment of normal people. The difference is that this is the wealthiest man on the planet, who also happens to be rightfully despised for his antics, including a controversial salute he performed twice. He’s going to get bullied, and no amount of sucking up to his baby-like behavior is going to change that.

Another day, another scam “game” trying to fleece the foolish out of their money. Today, we bring you the nightmarish ripoff known as Paradise XRPL. Where festering garbage like The Day Before failed, surely these idiots will succeed, right?
Paradise (or Paradise XRPL) from Ultra Games is the latest in a long line of obvious scams to hit the market. And of course, it’s landing in the irradiated waste dump that is the Epic Games Store. All the Fortnite money in the world didn’t stop the platform from becoming the destination for crypto scams and NFT shovelware. And this is where we are now.
And just like The Day Before we’ve got a trailer just directly ripping off better promotional material. This “game” uses a similar song and presentation style to the GTA 6 trailer, but with zero personality or effort. People have already noticed UI elements, assets and other features being directly lifted from actual games and far better trailers.
The big selling point here is what you’d expect. A living and breathing world filled with AI-generated dialogue and totally-not-stolen assets. As we’d expect, that living world is directly tied to an economy powered entirely by NFTs and proprietary cryptocurrency tokens. And judging from the trailer, literally none of that is true. You won’t see a world full of dynamic NPCs that can carry conversations, or a realistically modeled city. Keep reading to see what you were promised, and the crap that was actually thrown in your face.
Just the video description alone should clue you in to how much this is just nonsense:
Play with your friends, engage in shootouts, race cars, complete daily missions, and reach the apex of life. Earn money and buy what you want, from real estate to fancy clothes. Endless World, Endless Play. The information presented here is for planning purposes only and does not necessarily represent the final implementation or features.
And if you weren’t convinced by all of that, just watch the trailer for Paradise XRPL. Count how many red flags you can find.
So let’s see, stolen brand images for Kick and other streaming platforms. Likenesses of some of the biggest names in content creation used without permission. I’m sure Pokimane gleefully licensed her likeness for this slop.
So what does this grand new transformational game play like? Crap, it plays like crap. A recent playtest showed it off in all its fecal-stained glory. It’s a bland level cobbled together of premade assets with zero effort. These “developers” couldn’t even bother to include a proper navmesh or any sort of boundary detection, so any attempt to play this game will result in immediately falling through the world. Those high-speed cars you saw in the trailer just loop around the level and phase through both objects and the player.
If you don’t believe me, judge for yourself from the footage below.
That’s not even the worst part. All this doodoo is just the brown wrapping on the real gift of this project: NFT scams
Obvious NFT scams are being openly promoted in the trailer. And yes, all the hype about real estate, cars, clothes and more is just NFTs. There’s a reason this is trying to get on the Epic store. Steam banned any games implementing this kind of scam a long time ago.
Paradise XRPL is what happens when you don’t ban crypto, game distribution platforms. Get this garbage out of gaming.

You may think that the farming genre of gaming is a bit niche. But whilst that may be true, it’s also a bit big. In fact, it’s massive, breaking out of the confines of PC a good few years ago to sow and seed on console. We may not be the biggest fans of the genre, but we fully understand the draw that it has, especially across the Farming Simulator games.
It’s that genre with which Thrustmaster are muscling in on, after plying their trade across racers with a variety of steering wheels, and flight sims with the T.Flight Full Kit X and TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition. They got their wellies dirty with the release of the FarmStick on PC a year or so ago, and are now hoping to tempt in Xbox players with the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X.
The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X
If you’re a fan of farm life, but need something to help you plow your way to glory in an all-encompassing way, this is a controller that could well feel a bit of a necessity.
Design and Features of the FarmStick X
It comes as no surprise to see that the FarmStick X looks very much like a flight stick. It feels like one in hand too, and so you’ll want to come to this in the knowledge that it is about as far removed from a standard Xbox controller as you are likely to get.
But what is included is a ton, and I mean a TON, of buttonry, features, gadgets and more. We’d go as far to say that initial use is a little overwhelming, due to the sheer number of buttons that are present. We counted them so you don’t have to – 33, if you include the little switch which allows this to be used on Xbox or over on PC. Of course, you’ve also got the stick too.
That’s a lot to get to grips with, but if you’ve played anything like Farming Simulator 25 or the plethora of other games that see you heading to the fields and getting dirty, you’ll understand that many of those are required.
Of course, an Xbox Nexus button is front and centre of the kit, flanked by both a Menu and View, accompanying the now-standard Share button. Face buttons are also in place, diamond in design and hugely oversized. They sit just to the right of the ‘stick’ part of the FarmStick X, along the base, well within reach of any required press. Across on the other side are four direction pads, with B01 through to B04 also present.
Everything you need…
A small throttle sits on the left of the base, bright orange in style, ensuring that you can power your way through fields like there is no tomorrow.
And then we move onto the stick itself. It’s here where a ton of extra buttons suitable for the joys of farming life are found, with camera controls, both ‘Driving’ and ‘Working’ options and a ton more sitting pretty right underneath your thumb, with two further buttons hiding under your trigger finger. Whether it be a switch, a dial, or a knob, each and every press of the equipment on the FarmStick X feels solid and well defined, with the ergonomics of the stick itself of the very highest standard.
Feel and Feedback: Ergonomics and Button Quality of the FarmStick X
Whilst the buttons on the base of the FarmStick X are solid in design, those integrated onto the stick itself are soft-touch, and feel great. We just wish the thumb-utilised mini-stick that is atop the main stick was coated similarly. It’s fine and all, slightly concave, but there is some slip to it. In the heat of a farming day, that’s not totally ideal.
That stick twists and spins with aplomb too, running three directional axes that in turn include two that are complete with H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors. We’ve used those on the Thrustmaster HEART Controller in recent months, and would expect everything included here to last well into the long term.
Setting Up Your Farm
It’s all pretty easy to connect up too, although if you’re going big with what Thrustmaster provide then expect to be treated to a plethora of cables.
In the box, the FarmStick X comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable to hand, ensuring it is pretty much plug and play out of the box. But then, include other peripherals, and you’ll also want to make the most of the Din9 and TFRP ports. Thankfully it’s all hidden away at the back of the controller, but much like any piece of dedicated kit, you will need to ensure you have space for a compatible set-up.
Plus a whole lot more.
Xbox and PC: Platform Limitations and Expansive Setups
Downsides? Well, the SimTask FarmStick X on Xbox seems to only be compatible with an Xbox Series X|S console, and – currently at least – for play with Farming Simulator 25; we’ve tried it with Farming Sim 22 through Game Pass, but to no avail. And if you want to run it over to PC, the options open up considerably, but perhaps that is something which is par for the course in the gaming sphere; you know, us console folk being behind the times.
We would also personally prefer suction pads on the bottom of the stick as while the eight included rubber pads are fine, a bit more stability when farming would be much more preferable.
Further to that, to make full use of what Thrustmaster are offering up, you’ll need a wheel too – the T128 Wheel or T248 Wheel for instance – with an additional SimTask Steering Kit then attached to create more of a farming feel. Consider that if you have a wheel, you probably also have some pedals, and maybe the TH8S Shifter, as well, then things start to spiral.
That’s a big old outlay and does mean that the FarmStick and SimTask kits that are in place will only really be suitable for those veterans of the farming genre. Of course, if that’s you, then splashing a good couple of hundred quid on some new kit may well feel worthwhile.
The SimTask Steering Kit: A Deep Dive into Immersive Farming
A little word on that SimTask Steering Kit, and don’t expect this to be something you’ll set up every time you want to play. For us, it’s a complex piece of equipment, full of multiple pieces of metal and screws that would be best setting up for long term use. If you’ve got the space, and can commit to a full long-term run, it very much does what it says on the tin, switching up your usual racing wheels for a flatter, more heavy cargo driving experience. It works by clamping into place on a desk system, with Thrustmaster stating it can handle anything between 15-50mm in depth.
A controller with connectivity
Compatible with both the T128 and T248 wheels, our very favourite bit of the SimTask Steering Kit is a little spinning knob that attaches to the wheel, aiding the immersion ever more; you’ll know exactly why that is useful if you have any interest in the long-haul or heavy-driving worlds. There’s plenty of adjustment included in that kit too, so setting it up for your own desires should be well within reach.
A Well-Crafted Controller for Dedicated Farmers
Price and costs aside though, we can’t help but feel that Thrustmaster have, once again, absolutely nailed what is required of a niche gaming controller; one set-up with a primary goal and use in mind. The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X Controller really is a well crafted, well created, well designed controller that feels great in hand, more than capable of taking your farming experiences to the next level.
Consider yourself at one with the farm, and Thrustmaster’s SimTask FarmStick X Controller for Xbox and PC is about as good a piece of kit as you are likely to find.
Buy For Yourself
Huge thanks go out to Thrustmaster for providing the SimTask FarmStick X controller, as well as the SimTask Kit for review purposes.
Hit them up direct to grab a unit for yourself. The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X Controller will cost you around £99.99, whilst the SimTask Steering Kit is another £69.99. But of course, you’ll need a wheel too!

A weekend heads up for all of our Amiga readers , as we’ve recently found out through the EAB forums, that Tukinem together with Retronics, is not only still working on bringing the Polish point and click adventure game of ‘Sołtys’ over to the Commodore Amiga 1200 with an English release date of May 23, 2025. But as of today you can try out the latest demo featuring English, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish subtitles. A game which was originally released by LK Avalon for MS-DOS on May 23, 1995. To coincide with this news, we’ve got some new footage of the game below.
Here’s what tukinem1986 said about the game from the previous and more recent announcement. “It’s time to present the game I’ve been writing since last year. The original was released by L.K. Avalon on May 23, 1995, so I’m slightly extending the release date to May 23, 2025, the 30th anniversary. This is not a port of the game, as this is a game written from scratch based on the MS-DOS version to be released on May 23, 2025 by LK Avalon. After 30 years comes the release of the version for the Amiga computer.”.
Music for game was maked by Bartłomiej ‘BARTESEK’ Niedźwiecki.
Hardware requirements:
– Amiga with AGA chipset – minimum 1 MB fast RAM – hard disk – mouse – RTC chip welcome (when you click on the main character, it gives us the current time)
The new weekly challenge is live in BitLife, Bitizens, and that means it’s time to grind. Like all previous challenges, there’s a bit of RNG involved. And with our help, you can speed through the challenge steps this week. The RNG-dependent step this week is to become a music composer in BitLife, and it’s kind of annoying to do. Here’s what you need to do, keep reading to find out.
Don’t forget to check the Challenge Vault if you have it unlocked, you can do all the old BitLife challenges there as well. Check on some of our BitLife guides while you’re here for tips on those. Challenges like Bittersweet Symphony often require you to refer back to multiple steps to get everything done, so keep that in mind.
How to become a Music Composer in BitLife
This is one of those tasks that can take a bit of time to complete. Not because it’s hard, but purely because of randomness. There’s also the degree requirement to worry about.
Becoming a music composer in BitLife requires a Music degree from a university. That is where the musical talent you picked in character generation will come in handy. When you’re also spending time growing up learning the piano, make sure to focus on school and get good grades.
You’ll also want to make sure you do this AFTER you master the piano. That’s because you need musical skills to get the job itself. You can take lessons three times a year for free until your character reaches adulthood, so take advantage of this when learning that instrument.
If you don’t see any Apprentice Music Composer jobs right away, close and reopen your BitLife app to refresh the list or age up to redo it. One thing to be very wary of is trying to commit any in-game crimes. Having any kind of criminal record makes it a lot harder to land decent jobs like this one from then on. Now, it’s kind of a waiting game. You have to rank up a bit in your new occupation to get your hands on the music composer role.
Make sure to jump into the Job tab once in a while and pick the Work Harder option under your Schedule. This will increase your stress, so watch out. The upside is that you’re more likely to get promoted to a full music composer in BitLife when you do this. You can help manage the stress by going on walks, meditating, or doing any other healthy activities in the Mind & Body tab.

It’s that time of the week again, Bitizens! The Bittersweet Symphony Challenge in BitLife is live, and you know what that means. The Bittersweet Symphony challenge is live until April 9 and your goal is simple: to become a master of the musical arts. But also to be more than a little eccentric along the way. We’ve got all the steps laid out below, so check them out if you want to be able to rush through this week’s challenge and claim the prize.
Don’t forget to check the Challenge Vault if you have it unlocked, you can do all the old BitLife challenges there as well. Check on some of our BitLife guides while you’re here for tips on those.
The Bittersweet Symphony challenge is a total of five steps you need to get done to earn the new challenge ribbon. Keep reading on to find out what to do.
How To Complete the Bittersweet Symphony Challenge in BitLife
Here are all the relevant steps for this challenge. You don’t need to necessarily complete them in order, but it can help to do the easier things first just for the sake of your sanity.
Now, let’s begin!
Choosing your spawn location is easy. When you make a character, you can choose what country to be born into. You can also make later steps easier by picking the Music talent, but that’s optional. What’s required is to make sure to be born Male in a city in Austria. Be sure to choose the correct options.
How to master the piano in BitLife
Early life doesn’t matter, getting to age 6 and unlocking basic character activities is the key in the early game. Once you turn 6, go to the Mind & Body tab and start taking piano lessons. Since you are still a kid, your parents will need to pay for it. Sometimes they’ll say no, so just hang on until you can pay for lessons yourself.
Once you grow up, though, the real challenge begins. Mastering an instrument will cost money in BitLife. You need at least $1,000 for lessons each time. The key is to not only have the cash, but to be persistent. Each time you age up, you need to practice more than once per year to actually improve. It can take many in-game years to master the piano in BItLife, but you’ll eventually get there if you’re consistent enough.
This will take some time, but it’s actually not that hard once you get into the habit.
How to become a Music Composer in BItLife
Becoming a music composer in BitLife requires a Music degree from a university. That is where the musical talent you picked in character generation will come in handy. When you’re also spending time growing up learning the piano, make sure to focus on school and get good grades. Go to the library often via the Activities menu, and make sure to keep those Smarts stats maxed out. This can help a lot when you go to apply for your dream job of a musical composer.
You’ll also want to make sure you do this AFTER you master the piano, ideally. That’s because you need musical skills to get the job itself. You can take lessons three times a year for free until your character reaches adulthood, so take advantage of this when learning that instrument.
Once you’ve locked in your pianist skills, here’s the next part of the hard stuff. It’s a numbers game, and you have to play it just right. Just like when you’re tickling the ivories on a grand piano.
Like any other job, it’s randomized, so you need to keep aging up to refresh the job list to get it to spawn. Go into Occupation and check available jobs. If the apprentice composer job isn’t there, refresh it via closing the app and try again. You may also age up to refresh the list as well. Once you pass the interview and get the job, work hard to level up within the field and you’ll eventually complete the challenge.
How to Taxidermy Pets in Bitlife
Sometimes you will also find stray animals on walks. You can go on walks via the Mind & Body tab and just wait for the random event to proc. Take a cat or other basic animal home and now you have a free pet. Another option if you have the cash is to choose the Animal Shelter option under Activities. This can actually speed up the process as you choose elderly pets that are more likely to pass on soon.
Trouble is, then you have to wait for them to die. If you picked elderly pets from the shelter, this is a lot faster. Just continue living your digital life until one of them keels over. Once they do, you’ll see the option to taxidermy them.
Get three KO’d pets, then taxidermy then one-by-one, and you’re done with this last part of the challenge.
How to go into debt in BitLife
This is actually the easiest part of the challenge. Spend your money anyway you like. Go Shopping via the Assets tab and spend all your dosh on expensive cars you can’t make payments on. You could also make reckless investments in the Assets tab. Choose high-risk Bonds and stocks, and just let your portfolio go bust. It’s a great way to waste money in the game. All you need to do at the end of the challenge is have a negative bank balance.

The Brick Press in Schedule 1 will turn 20 of any product into a single item. This can then be handed to your dealers and they will sell it for you. This saves a ton of time packaging stuff in jars, but there’s one very important detail about bricks we’ll get to later. The brick press can be purchased from Oscar inside the warehouse next to the Pawnshop. Bring $800 with you to afford one. Realistically 1-2 is all you really need, so it’s not too badly priced.
How to Use The Brick Press in Schedule 1
This is when you need to decide what you want to do with your product. Do you have a bunch of lower-quality stuff just taking up space? Turn it into bricks and sling it to your lower-tier Dealers, Do you have a mix with a ton of good traits that a ton of people want? Press it into bricks and let your dealers sling it for you.
The process is simple. Just take 20 of any of the three base products in the game, once they’ve been processed into their final mixes, then place a stack in each input. Tip the container into the receptacle and then slam the press down.
And that’s it! You now have a brick you can export to your network of dealers.
One thing to keep in mind is that variety matters with dealers. Look at the customers you assign to your dealers in the Contacts app, and try to make a mix that has as many of their favorite traits as you can pack into one mix. If you stock a dealer with nothing but Energizing drugs even though they have a customer base that favors Sedating stuff, then they won’t sell as fast and it can feel like they’re not selling anything.
