Xbox and PC platformer 'Super Lucky's Tale' gets unexpected tropical expansion

No one expected to see Lucky again so soon, but we're glad he's back.
A week ago, Super Lucky's Tale developer Playful said that it planned on releasing an expansion or sequel. Unfortunately, the studio didn't make any statements other than a cryptic post on the game's Twitter account. The game is an adorable platformer which launched on Xbox One and PC a few months ago. The title received mixed reviews from critics, so it was unclear if the game would ever receive a sequel or expansion in the future.

Immortal Redneck Xbox One review: Silly fun, but rough around the edges

Immortal Redneck is a unique blend of dungeon crawling and arcade-like, first-person shooting that, while fun to play, feels lacking in a few areas.
Set in the sand dunes of Egypt, in Immortal Redneck for Xbox One you play as a stereotypical redneck who aims to fight his way to the top of Egypt's ancient pyramids using a wide array of guns, skills, and abilities.
It's a nonsensical premise, and it's clear from the start that Immortal Redneck aims to offer a silly, casual experience. Though there are a few notable flaws, it's still a good time and should be on your radar if you're looking for some easygoing fun.

That only way to stop it is that i have to restart the entire device every single time in order to get rid of the problem which it is very very annoying and frustrating. D: D:

And the funny thing is that i stopped getting this stupid problem for a while before the latest Windows Update that annoyingly got the problem back.

This is ridiculous that this stupid problems keeps coming back!!!! D: D:

I don't really know what to do to get rid of this problem.

As for charging the battery?? I am using the official Microsoft charger that came with it in the box.

Unfortunately, as the would-be wizards rapidly acquire powerful new spells without learning proper safety precautions, it's only natural that their hasty progress results in plenty of deaths.

Best GPUs for Crypto Mining

If you're looking for the right graphics card to get into mining for cryptocurrencies, you need one of these.
Cryptocurrency (and we're not talking Bitcoin here) mining is growing in popularity and is a big part of why graphics cards (GPUs) are so expensive right now. Building a mining rig is different than building a gaming PC, because you need to balance mining performance with how much it costs to get set up and to run.
Mining is an intensive process, and you'll be running the rig at high load for long periods, so things like power draw become crucial. The GTX 1080 Ti is one amazing GPU, but it's also fairly power hungry, so it's not necessarily the best choice for this purpose.
If you're getting into mining, you'll be better suited with one of these.

sdcards & rtfs

I've recently purchased a Samsung 256GB Evo Plus sdxc card to use in my Windows Surface 2017 (i5/4GB)

As with all scares it comes with exFAT but I plan on formatting for NTFS to give the best flexibility (it will always be in the device)

I am trying to decide what allocation unit size to use. I have read that some people recommend keeping the allocation size a multiple of (or at a push not too many submultiples of) the 'erase block size', but Samsung will not tell me what this is (they respond that it is proprietary information)

I am aware of the general thoughts around the size in terms of number of files, size etc - less so the sdcard specifics1

* Does anyone have recommendations for this specific card?
* Or general recommendations for sdcards
* A link to a tool that will display this info under windows (I couldn't find one. Linux in virtual box can't read the device info well enough, hyper-v doesn't get close). The info is in the csd register (I could try building some code, though I develop on java/unix so windows dev new to me)

uninstalled apps still in launch

Well, I can't seem to uninstall Age of Empires (old version) but can install a newer version and ever since WeChat just stopped one day, I can't uninstall it.

AOE will not let me uninstall it . it says pending.

WeChat lets me select uninstall, but it never uninstalls.

Witcher 2, Crackdown, and more get Xbox One X upgrades

These Xbox 360 games should look crisp on an Xbox One X.

Windows 10 'Timeline' is a truly useful feature, but its success will depend on what supports it

Timeline is a new feature coming in the next Windows 10 update that lets users resume activities across devices up to 30 days in the past, but its success will rely on what developers support it.
One of the biggest new features coming in Windows 10 Redstone 4 is a feature called Timeline. Announced last year, Timeline allows users to pick up where they left off within an app up to 30 days in the past, congregating all the work you do on your Windows 10 PC into one convenient timeline for you to look through. It works across devices too, meaning you can resume work you were doing on another device whenever it suits you.
