How to find Fossils

Fossils are found by searching Buried Treasure blocks. These are the blocks with the golden light shining out of it, and it requires the use of your Rock Smash ability. Of course, Buried Treasure blocks don't guarantee you'll find a fossil. It might be some other rare item like a Human Relic or CD.

It's also worth noting that these Buried Treasure blocks are random and will be reset each day at the daily reset time.

The patch was released alongside an announcement revealing Capcom has plans to implement improvements to DualSense controller support on PC, though there's no word yet on when exactly that will happen.

"We've also heard your feedback and are working on adding support for the DualSense wireless controller adaptive trigger and vibration functions for the PC version of the game.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is less than a month away, but fans can get their tickets starting next week. Cinemark announced that tickets for the movie will go on sale on March 9, which coincides with the next Nintendo Direct about the film taking place on the same day.

There's a reasonable expectation for privacy that comes with using direct messages, but no should ever count on that. That's what some players may be discovering now that they've learned that Embark Studios' Arc Raiders was recording and storing their Discord DMs.

According to Insider Gaming, the issue was uncovered by computer engineer Timothy Meadows. He discovered that when Arc Raiders was linked to players' Discord accounts, it stored their private messages locally on their PCs as well as the Discord tokens needed to access them. If Embark had been intentionally spying on its players, that could have been enough to go through all of their private messages.

Embark has already acknowledged the issue and shared a hotfix to take care of it. On the game's Discord channel, Embark stated that "excessive user information" had been saved, and the company assured players that their personal info and messages weren't reviewed or stored outside of their own machines. Embark also disclosed that it will conduct an audit to make sure there are no similar incidents now or in the future.

Activision has shed more light on Call of Duty leaks following the company reportedly taking legal action to get a prominent Call of Duty leak account to stop posting.

In a YouTube comment on a TDAWG video, Activision said it understands that "rumors are part of gaming culture," along with "healthy online speculation." But Activision said it draws a line "when leaks turn into viral misinformation." This "undermines our developers and also distorts player expectations of the games we're making," the developer said.

"When that happens, we're going to step in and set the record straight," Activision said.

Five years after it was first announced, Saber Interactive's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake has finally gotten an update--albeit a very predictable one. In a new interview, Saber chief creative officer Tim Willits offered a terse summary on the project's current status.

"Yes, it is still in development. That's all I can say," Willits said to IGN.

First revealed in 2021, details on the remake of the BioWare classic have essentially been nonexistent for the last couple of years, but reports have surfaced since then of a turbulent development cycle. Back in 2025, it was claimed that developer Aspyr had been removed from the project and that the studio behind the upcoming Hellraiser: Revival, Mad Head Games, was handed the reins to the remake. The same report also claimed that a potential remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 had been put on hold.

What is the One Piece? That's the question that has been at the heart of the titular manga series for decades, and one that fans might finally get an answer to--if they don't mind getting a little wet. To celebrate the long-running manga reaching over 600 million sales worldwide, manga creator and author Eiichiro Oda has written the secret to One Piece on a piece of paper, sealed it inside a specially designed capsule, and left it at the bottom of the ocean.

Oda's stunt was assisted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, with the location of the capsule remaining undisclosed. Naturally, this has spurred speculation and investigation across the globe, with the Reddit community working to pinpoint where exactly one of the answers to the biggest secrets in manga is resting. What we do know is that the capsule is positioned 651 meters below sea level, so even if it is located, some serious equipment will be needed to retrieve the paper and not be crushed by the ocean depths.

How Dream Islands work in Pokemon Pokopia

Dream Islands work much like the ones you can visit in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The islands are randomized locations, and you can visit a fresh island every day. This lets you gather additional map resources, such as rope, fruit, sticks, and even some rare metals. You also want to make sure your personal inventory has plenty of room for scavenging.

You can only visit one island per day, but you can revisit that same island until the day resets. This means if you use the Eevee doll one day, you can only go back to this specific island. You'll have to wait until the next day to use a different doll such as Pikachu.
