Overkill has released a new Payday 2 update for PC. Patch 216.3 is now available to download and is required in order to play co-op heists online. All round, it’s pretty minor update. Weighing in at just over 30MB, the heisters have been busy shredding tinsel now that the festive period is over. The game’s developers confirmed that 216.3 doesn’t include any new Payday 2 content, fixes, or balancing tweaks. Here’s a quick overview of what’s changed: The heists Breakin’ Feds, Hoxton Breakout, and Buluc’s Mansion have now returned to normal. Bulldozers and Cloakers have (for the most part) hung up their Santa hats in wait for next year. As the weather starts to slowly turn warmer to more slush, the fine white now to make snowballs is sadly no longer available. As Jimmy threw out the stash that I saved in the fridge to make room for more booze, we will have to wait until next winter for another snowball fight. Of course, the Leech Perk Deck is will remain available as will “Bulbous Bauble” and the “Lightbringer” weapon charms with their associated achievements. The Winter Ghosts Tailor Pack and all its content will remain available. When is Payday 3 coming out? Payday 3 will be coming to PC and consoles in 2023, it has been announced. Payday creators Starbreeze confirmed that the sequel is back on track following a landmark €50m publishing deal with Koch Media. Koch and Starbreeze didn’t specify which platforms we’ll see Payday 3 launch on though it’s safe to assume the heist sim will appear on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The announcement came tagged with our first look at Payday 3 – a new piece of concept art. Much like Payday 2, the sequel will embody its games as a service approach to dishing out regular new content. Having originally launched in 2013, Payday 2 continues to enjoy a thriving fanbase with dozens of DLC packs having been released featuring new levels, characters, weapons, and cosmetics.

STX coin price action forms a consolidation range between the 100 and 50-day EMAs. Will the recovery help in the bullish breakout? Stacks is a layer-1 blockchain technology that is designed to enable smart contracts as well as Decentralized Applications (DApps) to Bitcoin (BTC). These smart contracts are added to Bitcoin without altering any of the characteristics that make Bitcoin so effective such as its security and stability. It is powered by Stacks token (STX) that is used to fuel an execution process for smart contracts processing transactions, and also for creating new digital assets to the Stacks 2.0 blockchain. Let us move ahead to read about Stacks technical analysis. Past Performance of STX The STX coin price action shows a growth of 10% in the past week despite the bloodbath in the crypto market. However, the growth comes after a 20% fall from $2.40 to $1.85. The coin price shows a sideways movement for the past few days, but the presence of lower price rejection is clearly visible. That is why a stronger bullish side is seen. STX/USD Daily Chart STX Technical Analysis The STX coin price hints at a morning star pattern formation in the daily chart with substantially lower price rejection. Therefore, the possibility of a price jump by the day’s end is increasing.  Crucial EMAs (50, 100, and 200) maintain a sideways trend in a bullish alignment in the daily chart. Moreover, the range formation between the 100 and 50-days EMA will shortly provide a breakout entry opportunity. The RSI indicator at 48% indicates the slope struggling to surpass the central mark in the daily chart. Moreover, the slope struggles to surpass the 14-day SMA as well. The MACD indicator shows the bearish histograms maintain a trend in the daily chart. However, the slight reversal in the fast line increases the chances of a bullish crossover. Therefore, the technical analysis shows the bullish powers struggling to take back the trend control.   Upcoming Trend The sideways momentum in the STX coin price maintains a consolidation range in motion. However, the lower price rejection indicates a high possibility of a bullish breakout. The price action suggests upcoming resistance levels at $2.40 and $2.60 above the 50-day EMA. And, the support levels are at $1.85 and $1.65, below the 100-day EMA. At press time, the sentiments chart remains “NEUTRAL” on the STX coin.

MKR coin price shows a sudden jump but struggles to rise above a high selling pressure near $2200. Will the bulls overcome the selling pressure? Maker (MKR) is the governance token of MakerDAO as well as the Maker Protocol. The decentralized autonomous organization and the software platform both are built upon Ethereum. Ethereum blockchain permits users to manage and issue the stablecoin of DAI. The Maker tokens are the equivalent of a voting share for the company that runs DAI and, while they don’t provide dividends to their owners. However, they grant the holders the right to vote in the advancement of the Maker Protocol and will increase in value according to the performance of DAI itself. Let us move ahead to read about Maker technical analysis. Past Performance of MKR The MKR coin price action shows lower price rejection near the horizontal level, slightly below $2000 at $1975. The lower price rejection drives the price close to $2200. However, the short-coming resistance trendline and the $2200 resistance level halt the increasing prices, teasing a reversal shortly. MKR/USD Daily Chart MKR Technical Analysis The MKR coin price consolidates between $2000 and $2200 in the daily chart while the price rests near the resistance after the price jump of 10%. Therefore, the recent jump indicates a high possibility of a range breakout.  Crucial EMAs (50, 100, and 200) trend lower in a bearish alignment that may halt the post-breakout bull run. Therefore, traders need to keep an eye on the prices once they reach near the 50-day EMA. The RSI indicator at 44% shows a gradual rise in the slope with a higher high formation in the daily chart. Moreover, the recent bullish crossover with the 14-day SMA reflects a rise in buying pressure. The MACD indicator shows the MACD and signal lines merge in the daily chart, indicating a high possibility of a bullish crossover. Moreover, the rise of bullish histograms reflects a jump in underlying bullishness. Therefore, the technical analysis shows a rise in bullishness teasing a breakout of the consolidation range.  Upcoming Trend The rising bullish powers within the consolidation range hints at a jump above the selling pressure at $2200 and the resistance trendline. However, price action confirmation is a must for safe traders. The price action suggests upcoming resistance levels at $250 and $300 ahead of the consolidation range. And, in case of a bearish reversal, the price can find support at $2000 and $1750. At press time, the sentiments chart gives a “SELL” signal for the Maker token.

Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure is a revelation, turning otherwise bland and gruelling workouts into fun and fully customisable play sessions. Unsurprisingly, copies of the Nintendo Switch game and its intuitive peripheral were impossible to find during the height of the 2020 lockdown. Cut off from our usual exercise routines, many of us looked for an alternate way of staying fit. Ring Fit Adventure was waiting with a well-timed one-two punch, balancing interactive entertainment with its tailored workouts. Jim: From personal experience, Ring Fit helped me through those depressing first months of isolation. Shedding well over a stone in weight, it instilled discipline in an otherwise rudderless time in my life and helped me become a more active and mindful person overall. Meanwhile, Sam we ready to embark on a journey: after recovering from an injury, could Ring Fit get him back in shape to smash his 5k record? In May 2020 it became clear the pandemic wasn’t a short term thing that would blow over in a matter of months. I was losing my daily walking commute for the foreseeable future. I took up running to try and out-train my terrible diet. In August I found out that the London Marathon was going to be virtual and decided on a whim to sign up. In October I ran the marathon and raised over £1,000 for Musgrove Hospital. After the marathon I picked up some pain in my knee and couldn’t run for the next few months. And when I came back to my new hobby I was much slower and very out of shape. My previous 5k average time was around 27 minutes, but I was struggling to break 32 in February 2021. I wasn’t even able to complete the whole 5k without some walking for the first few weeks, which was actually worse than when I first started running in May 2020! This trend unfortunately continued without much improvement until the end of April 2021, when I purchased Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure. My plan was to run a test 5k to find my current speed and then to spend a month doing Ring Fit for at least 30 minutes, 3-5 times a week. Would I be able to drastically reduce my time from 31 minutes 56 seconds? Test 5k time – 31m 56s Week 1 I started out well, alternating easy runs with Ring Fit sessions. In the first week I managed 3 runs and 4 Ring Fit workouts, joined the game’s Reddit community, and bought a yoga mat. In my notes that week I have mostly complained about how the planks are hard and that Adventure’s opening 30 minute session was mostly story/cutscene. Week 2 I alternated this week and did 4 runs and 3 sessions on Ring Fit, but I have started to unlock more moves now to use in the battles and I’m enjoying these more. I’m unable to stop from only using the most powerful moves in battles, which are not always the most challenging. Planks are still the best core move and that’s a crying shame. Literally, I could have cried. For those who haven’t played, Ring Fit is basically a fitness JRPG. The story mode is split between obstacle courses that each represent a stage in your journey. Instead of issuing attack commands during turn-based battles, you’ll need to select one of the exercises slotted into your loadout. For example, 20 Tricep Kickbacks, or 15 Wide Squats. Successful reps will chip away at the health bars of your opponents. There’s a layer of strategic nuance for fans of the genre. Exercises are colour-coded to deal extra damage, items can be crafted, and there’s a hefty skill tree loaded with character upgrades. These elements are intriguing though not essential. Running the same stages with minimal interaction with the RPG mechanics is certainly viable and no less fun! Week 3 I noticed some improvements this week – I’m able to run the entire 5k route now without walking breaks. I’m also starting to enjoy Ring Fit’s minimal story. I’ve increased the difficulty a few times to get a harder workout and am in the upper set of levels. I finish the week with a test run. This isn’t a great idea. On the last few hundred yards of the run I feel a twinge in my knee. A short, sharp pain that is not unlike an injection. I finish the run and walk home, but the pain doesn’t go away. I’ve managed to re-injure myself. Week 4 Nope. Nothing. Week 5 Zip. Zilch. Week 6 I’ve been unable to run for two weeks now. I’ve also been unable to Ring Fit, as squatting causes the same knee pain. I think this is around this time Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart comes out. Good game. Week 7 I’m back! Taking it lightly, but I’m now able to play and run again. I manage 2 Ring Fit sessions and 2 runs, trying to take breaks and go for walks to recover. Week 8 With a lot of stretching, foam rolling and recovery walking I am back to full strength. I did 4 workouts and 3 runs. I’m planning on taking the final test run the week after next. I feel strong and my runs are feeling very easy, maybe this is the Ring Fit working. Week 9 I do 4 workouts and then 3 runs again. I’m feeling strong on my runs and strong on Ring Fit. I’ve increased the difficulty to the maximum to feel like I’ve worked out for long enough as there’s a lot of admin. I’ve seen the subreddit talking about custom workouts, so I start doing those. The hidden benefit of playing Ring Fit is the sense of routine it can help create. Blocking out just 20 minutes a few days a week can really show results not just in terms of your figure, but your mentality towards exercise. Away from story mode, you can start creating your own customised workouts, ideal for focusing on certain muscle groups, especially when you have an injury! Week 10 This is it. I’m doing custom workouts all week this week, pulling back on the running so I can go out on fresh legs for the test. I do 4 workouts in the build up. The time has come. I lace up my trainers and go out for the run. I set my watch to keep me on pace to run 5k in a specific time – 25 minutes. That’s 7 minutes faster than the beginning of this and 1 minute 42 seconds better than my best ever 5k time. I start out how I start out every max effort run – too fast. As I come up to the 1k point I check my watch and I’m 40 seconds ahead of pace. This is bad, I’m likely to tire out and not be able to run my best. I consciously try to slow down. 3k in and I am unable to keep up. My lead is dwindling away and by 3.5k I am now behind. I’m still going faster than I’ve ever run. At 4.5k my watch is estimating my finish time around 26 minutes 45. 3 seconds over my 5k PB. Not today. The final 200 meters starts with a descent. I sprint down and allow the momentum to carry me to the finish line. My watch chirps away to let me know I’m done, kind of like the music that plays when you win a battle in a JRPG. Fitting. 26 minutes. 11 seconds. 31 seconds over my fastest EVER time! I struggled for months to regain the speed, then not only regained it but smashed past it in only a few weeks with the help of Ring Fit. Instead of gluing us to the sofa, Nintendo has helped many gamers get up and moving, encouraging healthy habits and no doubt changing the lives of some players who would never have tried home workouts. Ring Fit has been an overwhelming success for the Switch and this will hopefully inspire Nintendo to revisit the concept in future for a potential sequel.
