    Elden Ring: Nightreign | A Souls-Like Roguelike? (Full Run & Impressions)

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Elden Ring: Nightreign – A Full Run, Bosses, and Loot Breakdown

    Alright, let’s break down this insane run in Elden Ring: Nightreign. The difficulty on this is no joke.

    Day 1: The Forest Ambush

    I started my run in a creepy, ghostflame-filled forest, teamed up with my phantoms „Berry“ and „dxmel079.“ I was running a build with the Greatsword and the Jar Cannon. After fighting through some smaller fleshy mobs, we got ambushed by a three-man boss gank: a Tree Sentinel and two Royal Cavalrymen.

    The fight was intense. I got caught by the Tree Sentinel’s massive earthquake stomp—the one where its horse rears up—and it sent me flying. The key was to focus-fire the two Royal Cavalrymen first. Once they were down, we could all dogpile the Sentinel. After a tough fight, we finally brought it down.

    • Loot & Stats Gained:

      • Runes: 18,632 from the boss fight.

      • Dormant Power (Permanent Buffs):

        • Improved Poise +38%

        • Increased Maximum HP +15%

        • Improved Physical Attack Power +9%

    We hit the spirit shelter to lock in our progress for the day.

    Day 3: The Beast of Night

    The game skips to Day 3, and we’re immediately teleported to a surreal, white desert under a blood-red sky. This is where we found the true final boss of the run: Gladus, Beast of Night. This thing is a gigantic, three-headed winged wolf.

    • Phase 1: It hit like a truck with wide, sweeping attacks and even summoned a giant skeleton to help out. We had to split our attention between the two.

    • Phase 2: This is where things went wild. The entire arena transformed into a fiery hellscape with lava covering the ground. Gladus started breathing massive columns of fire and charging across the map. I got taken out and was down to my last sliver of health, but my phantom Berry managed to land the final blow. NIGHTLORD FELLED.

    • Loot & Stats Gained:

      • Item: Trace of Night – „The qualities of the Nightlord.“

      • Runes: A massive haul, bringing my total to 59,736.

    Epilogue: Unlocking The Duchess

    After the victory, a cutscene triggers. We’re back in a ruined version of the Roundtable Hold. A mysterious woman in a white hood informs us that the „Nightlord“ still lives. She then reveals herself as The Duchess, a new playable character with a rapier and an agile combat style, saying, „Now I’m ready to get my hands dirty.“

    • New Character Unlocked: The Duchess.

    • Level Up: I used the runes to level up from 11 to 12.

    • Shop Run: Before starting the next expedition, I hit the merchant and bought 2x Boiled Crab for that crucial damage negation buff. I also went to the Relic Rites menu to optimize my build, checking out relics like „Night of the Beast“ and „Polished Luminous Scene.“

    The run ended with a new character to try and a new target to hunt. What a session.

    Nice sightseeing tour of Pavullo city during the traffic pattern. At the last competition day of the 1st e-glide contest it was very difficult to get back home to the airfield. The finish cylinder was big enough to stay out of the rain shower and still finish the task. With a lot of patience I managed to climb with thermals above the final glide path and also used the FES to gain some more meters. Unfortunately you are not allowed to use the FES in rain and there are no outlanding fields north of Pavullo.

  • What Are The Best Materials for Making DIY Masks?

    What Are The Best Materials for Making DIY Masks?

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    With masks sold out during the coronavirus outbreak, many people will have to make do with what some scientists have called “the last resort”: the DIY mask.

    Atemschutzmaske selber machen anleitung | Mundschutz selber machen einfach | DIY Bastelideen

    Masse des Papiers sind, 20,5x23cm damit es pass genau ist!!

    Data shows that DIY and homemade masks are effective at capturing viruses. But if forced to make our own mask, what material is best suited to make a mask? As the coronavirus spread around China, netizens reported making masks with tissue paper, kitchen towels, cotton clothing fabrics, and even oranges!

    DIY homemade mask against coronavirus made from orange

    The Best Material for Making a Homemade DIY Mask

    Researchers at Cambridge University tested a wide range of household materials for homemade masks. To measure effectiveness, they shot Bacillus atrophaeus bacteria (0.93-1.25 microns) and Bacteriophage MS virus (0.023 microns in size) at different household materials.

    Particle Sizes - Virus Labelled

    They measured what percentage the materials could capture and compared them to the more common surgical mask.

    Homemade Mask Virus Effectiveness

    Not surprisingly, the surgical mask performed best, capturing 97% of the 1-micron bacteria. Yet every single material filtered out at least 50% of particles. The top performers were the vacuum cleaner bag (95%), the dish cloth (“tea towel” in the UK! 83%), the cotton blend shirt fabric (74%), and the 100% cotton shirt (69%).

    Homemade Masks vs. Viruses

    The test above used bacteria that were 1 micron large, yet the coronavirus is just 0.1 microns – ten times smaller. Can homemade masks capture smaller virus particles? To answer this question, the scientists tested 0.02 micron Bacteriophage MS2 particles (5 times smaller than the coronavirus).

    Homemade Mask Materials Particle Capture Effectiveness

    On average, the homemade masks captured 7% fewer virus particles than the larger bacteria particles. However, all of the homemade materials managed to capture 50% of virus particles or more (with the exception of the scarf at 49%).

    Coronavirus & Mask Livestream

    Wondering whether masks work to protect you against the coronavirus? Check out our livestream recap covering all the info here!

    Are Two-Layered DIY Masks More Effective?

    If the problem is filtration effectiveness, would the masks work better if we doubled up with two layers of fabric? The scientists tested virus-size particles against double-layered versions of the dish towel, pillow case, and 100% cotton shirt fabrics.

    Overall, the double layers didn’t help much. The double-layer pillowcase captured 1% more particles, and the double-layer shirt captured just 2% more particles. Yet the extra dish cloth layer boosted performance by 14%. That boost made the tea towel as effective as the surgical mask.

    Looking at the data, the dish towel and vacuum cleaner bag were the top-performing materials. However, the researchers didn’t choose these as the best materials for DIY masks:

    Pillowcase and cotton t-shirt best for homemade DIY mask

    Instead, they concluded the pillowcase and the 100% cotton t-shirt are the best materials for DIY masks. Why?

    The Importance of DIY Mask Breathability

    The answer lies in breathability. How easy it is to breathe through your mask is an important factor that will affect how comfortable it is. And comfort isn’t merely a luxury. Comfort will influence how long you can wear your mask.

    Fortunately, in addition to particle effectiveness, the researchers tested the pressure drop across each type of fabric. This gives us a good indication of how easy it is to breathe through each material. As a benchmark, they compared breathability of each DIY mask material to the surgical mask.

    DIY Mask Material Breathability Pressure Drop

    Although the tea towel and the vacuum bag captured the most particles, they were also the hardest to breath through. With two layers, the tea towel was over twice as hard to breathe through as the surgical mask. In contrast, the pillow case, t-shirt, scarf, and linen were all easier to breathe through than the surgical mask.

     

    Researchers’ Pick for Best-Performing Homemade Mask Material

    Based on particle capture and breathability, the researchers concluded that cotton t-shirts and pillow cases are the best choices for DIY masks.

    Best material for making homemade DIY masks out of cotton and pillowcase fabric

    Are there any other materials we can use? The Cambridge researchers left out one common material: paper towel. We tested how well paper towel masks capture sub-micron particles.

    Making DIY Masks with Household Materials

    Bottom line: Test data shows that the best choices for DIY masks are cotton t-shirts, pillowcases, or other cotton materials.

    These materials filter out approximately 50% of 0.2 micron particles, similar in size to the coronavirus. They are also as easy to breathe through as surgical masks, which makes them more comfortable enough to wear for several hours.

    Doubling the layers of material for your DIY mask gives a very small increase in filtration effectiveness, but makes the mask much more difficult to breathe through.

  • Tales from the Twitch Extensions Commerce Pilot: Three companies building amazing experiences

    Tales from the Twitch Extensions Commerce Pilot: Three companies building amazing experiences

    Reading Time: 3 minutes
    AJ Glasser

    Last year, Twitch invited a handful of merchandise vendors and charity donation platforms to build Twitch Extensions, powered mainly by Amazon Pay checkout, as part of a Commerce in Extension pilot program. These experiences entitled Twitch streamers to sell shirts and raise funds for charity.

    The pilot program developers raised almost $1M for charity and sold thousands of shirts, hats, mugs, and plushies to fans on Twitch streams. For a first-time experiment, it’s a positive financial result, but more meaningful is how these experiences made Twitch a more fun place to stream and watch.

    Here are a few examples of awesome moments brought to you by Commerce in Extensions:

    Teespring: Sub-only Merch and Buying Sprees

    Longtime Twitch partner Teespring knows more than anyone about what people love about merch. Joining us for the Commerce pilot, they innovated on the concept of subscriber-exclusive goods creators can sell on their channels. While not the right choice for every channel, Teesprings knows creators need more than one way to build their brand and connect with their viewers.

    One of the best ways to forge that connection is through creating moments. Whether it’s in a game, in the Chat, or happening IRL on stream, creators and viewers thrive on the moments they make together.

    To make that creating moments a part of merch, Teespring tested a new overlay alert system that shouts out the fans supporting the stream through merch purchases. The slick new on-stream shoutouts were a hit with Janellwheeler’s channel, causing a spontaneous mug-buying spree:

    DonorDrive: Charity for one and all

    Supporting a charity is always rewarding, but charity streaming on Twitch takes it to a new level. In the last 10 months alone, we’ve seen streams drive $1.5M to charities through the pilot.

    DonorDrive built a suite of Extensions to power charitable donations live on stream. Their flagship Extension, Extra Life Charity Fundraising, has been used by over 16,000 Twitch creators since launch. Creators and viewers can see donation updates from the Extension in real time — and creators are even able to shout out individual followers who donate.

    “They might get a shout out from the broadcaster, but undoubtedly, [it’s] the personal satisfaction of doing something good that powers the experience,” says Ben Clayton, Integration Developer at DonorDrive.

    DonorDrive has already partnered with ASFP, Doctors Without Borders, Wounded Warrior, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Stack Up, Mercy Corps, and American Association for Cancer Research, with more to come. They are excited to help build the presence of charities in the Twitch Extension library by giving nonprofits their own Extension that displays on creators’ streams and profiles.

    Fnatic: Limited-edition Drops

    Last year, esports organization Fnatic debuted a limited-edition hoodie collaboration with Champions to celebrate their second-place win in the League of Legends 2018 World Championship tournament held in Seoul, South Korea. Based on fans’ enthusiasm for this iconic hoodie, Fnatic brought back 500 of them for sale exclusively through Twitch.

    Rather than just offer them up, Fnatic created mini-games fans had to play for a chance to buy the hoodie. Earning a high score won them the right to buy the hoodie while supplies lasted.

    “For limited-edition items, you usually enter a raffle to be allowed to buy, or you need to be the fastest to click when it goes on sale,” says Benoit Pagotto, Brand Manager for Fnatic. Coming from French street fashion boutique Colette, Pagotto explains the psychology of streetwear and how he adapted it to a native Twitch experience. “[We] wanted people to compete to be allowed to buy the hoodie. It was based more on skill than luck or randomness.”

    Under the hood, the mini-game is a straightforward click-reaction game: Clickable icons of different sizes and values spawned on stream over time. The more (and bigger) icons you click, the more points you score. Winning a minimum of 5,000 points unlocked the hoodie for purchase with a special access link. To prevent cheating, Fnatic disabled link sharing in Chat and canceled purchases for anyone caught distributing the link.

    Skill speaks volumes. In just one hour, Fnatic drove 3.5x more revenue than the next-nearest by revenue merchandise Extension drove in the entire month of July.

    These are just a few examples of successful Commerce in Extension pilots. If you’re interested in learning more about Commerce in Extensions or have an idea for your own, fill out this form and our team will get back to you.

  • Prime Members: Share the Love by Gifting Free Loot to the Community

    Prime Members: Share the Love by Gifting Free Loot to the Community

    Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Joveth Gonzalez

    Prime members, you’ve just received a major upgrade to your Amazon Prime membership.

    You can now share select Twitch Prime loot with the community on Twitch and give viewers who aren’t yet Prime a sneak peek of some of the awesome content they can expect to get from Twitch Prime.

    Starting today, Prime members can gift up to 3 extra copies of Dauntless loot, which unlocks the complete Desperado armor set, a purple dye, the “Outlaw” title, and a helpful supply pack with 30 Patrol Chests. Be on the lookout for additional loot to gift in upcoming weeks, including World of Tanks, Rainbow Six Siege, and more.

    So, how do you share the joy of Twitch Prime loot? See below for instructions in English.

    Instructions for other languages can be found in the links here:

    Step 1: Keep an eye out for the Community Gift Chest widget on Twitch streams
    When you’re watching your favorite streamer on Twitch, keep an eye out for the Community Gift Chest widget above chat (see image below). Streamers will have to activate this feature in order for it to appear. For more information about the streamer experience, please see the Streamer FAQs section further down in this blog.

    Step 2: Click on “Gift” in the new Gifting Center
    Once the Community Gift Chest widget is visible, Prime members watching the stream will see the following announcement in chat which allows them to gift Twitch Prime loot. Click on “Gift” up to 3 times to contribute Twitch Prime loot to the Gift Chest.

    Step 3: Watch as other Prime members in chat gift their Twitch Prime loot too
    Other Prime members in chat can also gift during this time, and you can watch the total number of gifts in the Community Gift Chest grow.

    Step 4: Gift Distribution by the Twitch Streamer
    The streamer will then decide when there are enough gifts and will push the “Distribute Gifts” button on their dashboard. This will release all the gifts randomly to members of their Twitch community that are tuning in. Viewers are eligible to receive a gift as long as they’re logged into their Twitch account, not a current Prime member, and haven’t already received one before.

    Step 5: How to Redeem Twitch Prime Gift Loot
    Gift recipients are notified when they receive a gift and can redeem their gifts by following instructions that can be found via email (an email will be sent to the account associated with their Twitch username). More detailed instructions will be found in this email, and in the FAQ below.

    What can Prime members put in a Gift Chest?
    A. Members will be able to share up to 3 extra copies of select Twitch Prime loot that is gifting-eligible. Since these are extra copies of loot, you will still be able to claim the content for yourself.

    Can Free Trial members use this?
    A. Unfortunately, no. Loot Gifting is a benefit for paid members only.

    When can I gift content?
    A. When a streamer enables Loot Gifting, you will see a Community Gift Chest widget above chat. A button at the bottom of chat will also appear, allowing you to gift up to 3 extra copies of select Twitch Prime loot to the Gift Chest.

    How will Prime members know they have gifts to contribute?
    A. Whenever Prime members are in a Twitch channel with an active Gift Chest, they will see a private announcement at the bottom of chat showing the content they have to gift. The private announcement also has a button that allows members to contribute gifts with a single click.

    How often will Prime members receive new gifts to contribute?
    A. Usually gifts are better as a surprise. But since you asked, we’re expecting to have new giftable loot about every two weeks.

    Will people see if I have gifted Prime loot?
    A. Yes, the Community Gift Chest widget above chat will show the Twitch username of the last viewer who donated a gift.

    Will all Prime members have the same gifts to share with their communities each period?
    A. Yes.

    What happens if I have more gifts collected than eligible recipients?
    A. Any leftover gifts that don’t get distributed are automatically carried over to the next Gift Chest that you open.

    What happens when gifts are distributed?
    A. There will be a celebration in chat! Up to 100 messages will be sent out, highlighting the Twitch usernames of your viewers that donated a gift and received a gift.

    Why should I try this?
    A. Because unless you’re the Grinch, giving gifts is fun! And the members of your community that aren’t yet Prime members will be able to get a sneak peek of Twitch Prime loot without even needing a credit card.

    How do I activate a Gift Chest?
    A. In the Creator Dashboard under the Live tab, you will see the Community Gift chest widget (image below). Click “Start Collecting Gifts” to enable the feature.

    When can streamers distribute gifts?
    A. Streamers choose whenever they want to distribute gifts. They are able to distribute with as little as one gift in the Community Gift Chest and can distribute until the end of the gifting window (shown in the Community Gift Chest widget in your Creator Dashboard).

    Can a mod/editor release the chest for me?
    A. Not at the moment, but you’re not the first person to ask! We love hearing feedback and will look into incorporating it into future improvements.

    Can I schedule a Gift Chest to be opened in advance?
    A. Not at the moment. We recommend creating a chatbot command that notifies chat of when they can expect the Gift Chest to be opened.

    Can I choose my gift recipients when gifting to the community?
    A. Not at the moment, but you’re not the first person to ask! We love hearing feedback and will look into incorporating it into future improvements.

    How and when can I redeem a gift?
    A. If you received a gift, you will receive a redemption email (the one that is associated with your Twitch account) that includes a redeem by date, and a button that links to the Twitch Prime website to collect the gift.

    You will need to either sign in with or sign up for a free Amazon account (Amazon Prime is not required). In addition, you may also be prompted to link the Amazon account to your Twitch account, and your Twitch account to your game account.

    What is Twitch Prime?
    A. Twitch Prime is the Amazon Prime home for gamers, and is included with Prime. Benefits include in-game loot, free games, a free monthly channel subscription on Twitch AND all the benefits of being a Prime member — including unlimited access to award-winning movies and TV episodes with Prime Video; unlimited access to Prime Music, Prime Reading, Amazon Photos; early access to select Lightning Deals, one free pre-released book a month with Amazon First Reads, deep discounts at Whole Foods Market, and unlimited free two-day shipping on more than 100 million items.
