Recently,  Final Fantasy XIV   players rejoiced at the launch of the new Oceania Data Center, in hopes that they would see a noticeable decrease in the login queue time. Fans in the Oceanic Region of the world have waited for years to get their own server to join and enjoy Eorzea. Until now, these adventurers have had to settle for poor connection, while they play on the Japanese, European, or North American Data Centers. The new Oceania Data Center is a big step in alleviating the frustrating server congestion issues, which  FFXIV players have been facing since before  Endwalker's  early access period. As the playerbase rose exponentially last year, problems began occurring for fans. In early December 2021, FFXIV players started receiving Error 2002  when kicked from the login queue. This code indicated that too many characters were trying to log in across the same Data Center. This was not the first struggle fans faced when trying to enjoy the latest expansion. The in-game AF

The Google-owned OS is newer than  Windows and macOS , and its age is evident in the number of missing features. However, one feature that it has in common with the other desktop operating systems is multi-user support. Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system with plenty of impressive features but not all of these features were available from day one. For example, support for Android apps on the Play Store was added in 2016, while support for Linux apps was added in 2018. Last year, an update added support for the cameras on a Chromebook to scan documents and read QR codes .

It seems as if movies are getting longer and longer these days. With the release of each consecutive superhero movie, audiences are expected to hold the bladders for longer and longer, and that reached its peak with the four-hour Zack Snyder's Justice League . However, the length of a movie isn't important just so long as it's justified. RELATED:  The 10 Best Actors Who Have Never Won An Oscar, According To Reddit In cases like Avengers: Endgame , a movie that has to wrap up a 20-movie series, its 181-minute runtime made sense. But there are loads of movies that Redditors believe shouldn't be so long. Between a western that takes place in one room, a Vietnam War movie with an hour-long wedding scene, and a 2.5-hour Adam Sandler comedy, Reddit users think the editors of these movies should have been more ruthless. The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly three hours, and it's one of only three Hollywood movies to reach the 180-minute mark in the 2010s, with the others

Warning! SPOILERS for  The Book of Boba Fett  episode 5. The Book of Boba Fett seems to make an innocent joke about Jawas, but the moment retcons Star Wars '  original designs for the characters. In The Book of Boba Fett episode 5, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) returns to the Star Wars universe and winds up on Tatooine looking for a ship.

In  Pokémon Legends: Arceus ,  players can obtain more crafting recipes through a few different methods, allowing them to be as close to self-sufficient as possible in a Pokémon game.  Pokémon Legends: Arceus  takes place early in Pokémon's history than any other game in a time where Poké Balls are being used for the first time. As a member of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps, players will be required to think on their feet in the field as they attempt to complete the Pokédex, and sometimes that means they'll have to craft their own items. Crafting items in Pokémon Legends: Arceus   can be done either at the crafting stations in campsites and Jubalife Village or through the Crafting Kit in players' Key Items pouch. The Crafting Kit in the Key Items pouch has the full accessibility that the crafting stations have elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus , so players may feel free to use any location they prefer to craft.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player was recently greeted by the frightening sight of a murdered NPC frozen in the default T-pose position while looting a crime scene. Released to critical acclaim back in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 serves as a prequel to 2010’s Red Dead Redemption and tells the story of Van der Linde gang member Arthur Morgan as he flees from the law following a bank robbery gone awry amid the vast open-world backdrop of the American south in 1899.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s character AI is incredibly detailed, so much so that fans have conducted thorough research on the

The upcoming Matt Reeves film, The Batman , is sure to avoid the box office failure of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice . Although it was the first film to unite three of DC Comics’ most iconic superheroes, Dawn of Justice was a divisive film , polarizing fans and film critics alike. This may have been why the film, despite its strong opening weekend and pre-ticket sales, had such a significant box office drop in its second weekend. The Batman , on the other hand, is a highly-anticipated reboot of the iconic superhero that looks to succeed where the DCEU crossover film failed in terms of box office performance and reception. Following 2013’s Man of Steel , the DCEU’s first installment and a similarly divisive superhero film, Dawn of Justice introduced a new iteration of Batman, played by Ben Affleck. While Dawn of Justice had a mixed reception among viewers and critics, Affleck’s performance as the Dark Knight was among the film’s most consistently-praised elements, with Affleck
