The Nissan Kicks has always been a decent option in the affordable small SUV category – currently sitting at number eight in our ranking of the Best Subcompact SUVs. It’s roomy, sharp-looking, and fairly inexpensive with a base price of $19,070. The biggest complaint our testers lodged was that the infotainment options were a bit behind the Kia Seltos (our Best Buy in the category), Mazda CX-30, and other top competitors. For 2021, Nissan looks to address that concern. The 2021 Nissan Kicks features a redesigned center console, with the addition of Apple Carplay and Android Auto standard. There’s also a WiFi hotspot and Bose premium sound system upgrades. An improved 7-inch display screen is now standard, with an optional 8-inch screen found on higher trim levels. The exterior of the Kicks sports a few tweaks, with a more aggressive front fascia, and new fog and tail lamps. Along with several new exterior colors, Kicks buyers can opt for a two-tone look with a black roof. The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and CVT automatic return as the sole powertrain. Overseas, the Kicks offers a series hybrid drivetrain that employs an electric engine to power the wheel. The gas engine acts as a generator to extend the range when needed. There is still no indication that Nissan plans to bring that system, which it calls e-Power, to the states…even at a time when American buyers are flocking to hybrids. While we expect the pricing announcement close to the on-sale date next February, the 2021 Nissan Kicks MSRP shouldn’t be much higher than the current 2020 Kicks which runs $19.070 for the base S, $20,700 for the SV, and $21,320 for the top SR model.

There is no need to explain more about the importance of sleep to the human body, and the same applies to exercise. Both matters are important, but the question is which one has a greater priority, especially to supply the body with energy? The British website "Stylist" says that when the alarm clock rings in the early morning, some tend to sleep again, while others prefer to start exercising. He adds that knowing what the body needs more than another is not an easy matter, because it is related to the required energy levels, and because there are several factors that affect what we feel. Health expert Nirina Ramlakhan says that the more we can understand our bodies, the more we know to distinguish between fatigue due to hunger, thirst, the need to move, or the actual need for sleep. And she continued: "I think we need to think more about what fuels our energy. There is no direct answer to the matter, but I think that sleep is a problem in mood and anger." Sugar and so on ”. The British expert said that understanding patterns is key to understanding the real needs of the body, as sleep that comes after five in the morning, from an energy perspective, is of limited value. She added that getting out of bed and exercising early on the weekend is better than getting more sleep or lying down. According to the health expert, several studies have indicated that sleeping in the period from before midnight to 4 in the morning is the most important for energy recovery. Outside of this night time period, the expert believed that a 20-minute nap can provide us with energy, and greatly improve our mental and cognitive performance. Therefore, the website concludes that not all of us have to jump out of bed with the sunrise towards exercising, as this increases energy by 20 percent, while reducing fatigue by up to 65 percent, according to a scientific study in this field. The British expert said that the most important thing is movement, not exaggeration, and she said: “We should move away from the idea of exercising in the form of an hour of continuous jogging for an hour or exercising in the gym and moving all the stomach muscles, and focusing instead on walking and movement, One will notice a change. ”

Ground walnuts make a rich frangipane for this warming pastry inspired by the flavours of herbal tea David Atherton Wed 9 Dec 2020 13.00 GMT During this chilly time I steadily drink litres of herbal tea and they often provide inspiration for my baking. Lemon and ginger tea is a favourite and this bake is essentially a lemon and ginger walnut frangipane tart. Almost all nuts can be ground into a flour that work well in cakes, frangipanes, marzipans, or biscuits, but it is difficult to find anything apart from ground almonds in shops. It is really easy to make your own nut flours in a food processor, however. My only tip is to put the nuts in the fridge or freezer first, as this will stop them turning into a nut butter as they will stay cool while blitzing. You can use whichever nut, spices or citrus that you like, and to really warm it up you can use brandy instead of lemon juice in the icing. Serves 10 For the base 60g plain flour 40g wholemeal plain flour ½ tsp mixed spice 25g sugar 70g unsalted butter For the filling 100g caster sugar 70g unsalted butter 2 medium eggs Zest of 1 lemon (reserve juice for the icing) 180g walnuts 20g plain flour 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp baking powder 150g marmalade 50g halva 60g icing sugar Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/374F/gas mark 5. Line a 25cm loose-bottomed fluted tart tin with baking paper. Put all the base ingredients in a mixing bowl and rub until they reach breadcrumb consistency. Press into the base of the tin and bake for 20 minutes, then set aside to cool. While the tart is baking, cream the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time and the lemon zest. Blitz the walnuts in a food processor until they are the consistency of ground almonds. Add the flour, ginger and baking powder and pulse until mixed. Mix the dry mix into the wet mix to make your frangipane. Spread the marmalade over the crumb base of the tart. Cover with the frangipane mixture, crumble the halva and sprinkle on the top, then bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool then mix the icing sugar with just enough of the reserved lemon juice until a loose pouring consistency. Drizzle this over the tart, and eat.

In a surprise move, 17 US states announced their support for the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas at the Supreme Court, in an effort to annul the election results in four states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The lawsuit filed by Texas questioned the changes made by the four states to expand voting by mail during the Corona crisis, and considered these changes "illegal." President Donald Trump supported the Texas lawsuit, thanked the 17 states for their support, and petitioned Supreme Court judges to allow him to become a prosecutor. In the event that Trump joins this lawsuit, the matter will set a precedent in the United States, where the president is demanding the cancellation of millions of votes in the elections, but some legal experts have questioned the legal basis of the lawsuit and are likely to be rejected by the Supreme Court. As for the Democratic Party, Trump accused him of trying to undermine the people's confidence in the integrity of the elections by canceling the votes of millions of voters. And Trump had said a few days ago, during his participation in the state of Georgia in the first electoral rally after the presidential poll, that he would win the elections that Joe Biden announced his victory in about a month ago. "We are winning this election," the president, whose term ends next January, assured hundreds of supporters who gathered in the open air in Valdosta, adding, "They will try to convince us that we lost." We did not lose. ” Despite Trump's unprecedented attack on the US election system, which he considered no longer valid, his legal team has not yet succeeded in presenting any evidence accepted by the courts of fraud in the presidential elections. And US Attorney General William Barr confirmed that the department had not found any evidence of widespread vote tampering in the presidential election. "To date, we have not detected fraud on a scale that could have affected the election result," Barr was quoted by the Associated Press. Barr has instructed federal prosecutors to initiate investigations into credible fraud allegations, asking them to avoid investigations into "fanciful or exaggerated allegations." The Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, was declared the winner of the presidency after he beat Trump by a wide margin in the elections held on the third of November, winning 306 votes in the electoral college against 232 for Trump, and Biden also defeated Trump in the po[CENSORED]r vote by more than 6.2 million votes.

Older versions of WinZip use unencrypted comms Cybersecurity solution provider Trustwave has identified a number of vulnerabilities in the WinZip file compression software that could be used to inject malware into a user’s device. The insecurities reside within the server-client communication channel. According to Trustwave, some versions of WinZip communicate with the server via an unencrypted connection when looking for updates, sending requests in cleartext. As a result, the HTTP connection can easily be taken over by a threat actor and used as a way of stealthily inserting malware. We've put together a list of the best compression tools around Here's our list of the best file managers Also, check out our roundup of the best cloud storage solutions “Since HTTP is unencrypted cleartext, it can be grabbed, mani[CENSORED]ted, or hijacked by anyone with the ability to see that traffic,” Martin Rakhmanov, security research manager at Trustwave’s SpiderLabs team, explained. “This means anyone on the same network as a user running a vulnerable version of WinZip can use techniques like DNS poisoning to trick the application to fetch ‘update’ files from a malicious web server instead of a legitimate WinZip update host. As a result, unsuspecting users can launch arbitrary code as if it is a valid update.” Threat mitigation Other issues were also discovered by Trustwave researchers. For example, WinZip sends potentially sensitive information, including usernames and registration codes, over the same unencrypted channel when sending update requests. This means that an attacker could easily gain access to this information too. Furthermore, in WinZip version 24 – the program has since been updated – pop-up windows that appear during Trial mode would be easily mani[CENSORED]ted by a network adjacent attacker. It would be possible, therefore, to execute arbitrary code that would look as though it had come directly from WinZip servers. The easiest way for users to safeguard themselves against these malware attacks is to upgrade to WinZip 25, as this version uses HTTPS for its server communications. If an upgrade is out of the question, users should disable automatic update checks to stay safe.

Tiny mobile Ampere teaser? The hardware world is still waiting for Nvidia to announce the mobile version of its GeForce RTX 30-series of graphics cards. In the meantime, a V-Ray 5 benchmark of what appears to be a GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (via VideoCardz) has popped up, giving us a potential hint of Ampere's ray tracing prowess in mobile form. Sadly, the submission doesn't tell us a lot about the GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile. It only reports the graphics card's 8GB of memory, which we expect to be the GDDR6 type found on the desktop GeForce RTX 3070. Before we get into the results, it's worth noting that we should take the V-Ray 5 results with a grain of salt, since they're of an unreleased card. Additionally, ray tracing isn't the most important metric for gamers. For background, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has 38 second-generation RT cores for ray tracing workloads. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, on the other hand, flaunts 68 RT cores, but these are first-generation versions so the performance isn't as good. The GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile will likely inherit the 46 RT cores from its desktop counterpart. It seems that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti was only up to 7.81% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile. Keep in mind that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a desktop graphics card and a 200W one at that, so it's expected to outperform a GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile. The margin is even smaller when comparing the reported GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The previous Turing flagship delivered around 4.4% higher ray tracing performance. Nvidia's current shortage struggles with Ampere could be why the chipmaker is taking so long to launch the mobile parts. Nonetheless, some retailers have already listed unannounced gaming laptops with mobile SKUs, such as the GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q, RTX 3070-Max-Q and RTX 3060 Max-P. Nvidia typically offers two different flavors of the same SKU for laptop vendors to put inside their devices. The Mobile variant (sometimes known colloquially as Max-P) is basically the full-fledged version, while the Max-Q variant is a cut-down version with a more stringent power limit and, consequently, lower clock speeds. If the listings are anything to go by, mobile Ampere's debut is near. CES 2021, a tech conference in January, could hold more answers. The ultimate question is whether the mobile cards will actually be available upon launch.

Game Information Initial release date: December 2020 Software developer: Out of the Blue Games S.L. Publisher: Rao Fiori Mode: Single player game Main computer: Xbox One, Xbox One, Series X, Ceres S, Microsoft Windows Genres: Adventure video game, Puzzle video game First-person adventure games are often almost like movies. They love to focus on story and characters, but these are typically major challenges for obvious reasons. You’ll likely know exactly where the plot of Call of the Sea plot is headed within the first hour or so, as its narrative focus has been explored to death at this point. But its exquisite world design, extremely strong writing, excellent voice performances, and powerful visuals make it a pleasure to play. Even if the puzzle design can leave a bit to be desired at times. Call of the Sea, despite the strength of its aforementioned writing, actually begins with a bit of a textbook example of how not to handle exposition. The main character, Norah, dreams about swimming in the ocean (yeah, you know what this game is about already) and wakes up shortly after. She rises from her bed and the game’s premise vomits forth from her jaws like a freight train smashing through a wooden barrier. She has a mysterious illness and her husband Harry, while on an expedition to find a cure, goes missing. Norah receives a package in the mail containing a key and dagger, along with vague instructions that lead her to seek passage to a small island West of Tahiti where men fear to tread. Upon making landfall, Norah discovers that Harry and his crew have indeed been there. She finds each of their campsites and slowly learns exactly what they’ve been through by finding letters and documents strewn about. Norah talks to herself a fair amount but, unlike that bit of exposition at the beginning, it doesn’t feel awkward or out of place. Her voice actress, industry veteran Cissy Jones, does a wonderful job bringing the character to life and is an integral part of the game’s narrative successes. She’ll also occasionally find unsent letters to her that Harry left behind, which are semi-animated and voiced by the always terrific Yuri Lowenthal. By the end of the game, I felt a certain amount of investment in their relationship even though I knew precisely where the game was headed. Open the door etc. etc. Call of the Sea takes place over six chapters, each with different areas. Many of these are surprisingly large and typically task you with scouring the area for information that you’ll use to solve the game’s puzzles. Norah is a talented artist, and every clue you find that’s relevant to a puzzle gets sketched into her notebook. Therefore, most of the chapters play out in a similar fashion. You reach a new area, explore it until there’s nothing left to find, and then solve each of the puzzles. However, the level design is uniformly excellent. The areas are clearly put-together and memorable, making it easy to get around. As the game goes on, it occasionally changes things up in surprising ways as well. You control Norah from a first-person perspective in Call of the Sea and can walk around, interact with objects, and occasionally pick things up. Some of the puzzles can require you to cover a fair bit of ground too, which doesn’t typically get annoying, but can occasionally be a little dull. For instance, one puzzle leads you throughout a large cavern with multiple floors. This situation could have taken forever, but the puzzle in question is easy enough to understand that it’s not that much of a problem. Overall, the puzzle quality in Call of the Sea is good — for the most part. A lot of the puzzles revolve around operating some specific mechanism that doesn’t make much sense, such as dials you have to flip and the like. Some of them, however, leave you with no idea of how they work or what you’re doing. You’ll need to mess around with them until you finally figure it out. To the game’s credit, nearly every puzzle gives you the information you need to solve everything. Paying attention also goes a long way. Wait, what? There is one puzzle in Call of the Sea that I found completely unsolvable, however. It requires Norah to piece together several details, but after scouring the area, I only ever found a single bit of vague information that explained how on earth I was supposed to utilize the puzzle’s specific mechanism. I probably spent over an hour trying to make sense of it, only to come up short. Perhaps I missed something, but this single puzzle made for a markedly worse game experience. Somehow, I solved it by accident after randomly turning dials. This was miraculous due to there being four of them with four settings each, meaning that the probability of me being able to correctly BS it without actually solving the puzzle was low. After I accidentally happened upon the solution, the door opened and I spent a few minutes trying to work it backward in order to try and understand what I was supposed to do. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to figure it out and I still haven’t the faintest clue as to how I was supposed to do it. Thankfully, this was an outlier. The game’s final puzzle was a high point, with a multi-step process made up of several smaller puzzles that came together in a satisfying way. I’m glad I got lucky enough to bypass the problematic one, or I would have missed some cool things. To put it bluntly, Call of the Sea is a gorgeous game. It has more of a cartoony style to it, but the levels are highly atmospheric and feature lovely vistas and beautiful use of vibrant color. The areas also feel lived-in and believable. This is certainly the kind of game where you’ll stop and gawk at the scenery every now and again. Although, it doesn’t last all that long, as this is a six- to seven-hour game. Regardless, I feel that it’s exactly as long as it needs to be. Plus, there are two endings that you can pick via a binary choice which give you something extra to chew on. The narrative beats might be insanely obvious and that one puzzle is awful, but I enjoyed this game. It has fantastic world design, a wonderful presentation, and plenty of memorable moments. I just wish I knew what was up with those stupid dials. System Requirements OS: 64-bit Windows 7/8.1/10. Processor: AMD FX-6100/Intel i3-3220 or Equivalent. Memory: 8 GB RAM. Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7750, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 or Equivalent. DirectX: Version 11. Storage: 20 GB available space. Additional Notes: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.

New privacy policies are coming in January Google has confirmed that it will change its policy regarding how Chrome extensions access user data next year. The move should improve online privacy and may even limit the appeal of anonymous browsers. Speaking at its Chrome Dev summit, Google confirmed that immediately prior to the release of Chrome 88 on January 18, developers will be required to publicly display their privacy practices for each browser extension and will be limited in what they can do with the data they collect. The changes could have a major impact on the Google Chrome ecosystem, impacting developers, businesses, and individual users. Chrome is the world’s most po[CENSORED]r web browser by market share and its Web Store is currently home to some 250,000 extensions. Although the new privacy policy will not come into force until next year, that doesn’t leave too long to make the necessary changes. We've assembled a list of the best VPN services around These are the best Windows 10 VPNs on the market Also check out our roundup of the best business VPN Privacy protections Looking more closely at the proposed changes, from next year Chrome users will be able to choose which websites each extension can access data from. Currently, the extension itself is able to make that decision, but from January, granting extension access will no longer be the default setting. The other change means that developers must clearly state what user data they collect and why. In addition, user data can never be sold, used for creditworthiness checks, or to deliver personalized advertising. Google Chrome is not the only web browser looking to clean up the extensions it offers. Earlier this month, Microsoft’s Edge browser discovered that several malicious plug-ins were mimicking po[CENSORED]r VPN apps.

Team AMD or Team Intel? Simply NUC has launched the Ruby and Topaz families of miniature PCs. The first comes armed with AMD's Ryzen 4000 (Renoir) processors, while Intel's 11th-Gen Tiger Lake chips power the latter. Independent of the processor choice, the mini-PC resides inside a small 115 x 115 x 49mm (4.5 x 4.5 x 1.9 inches) case that takes up minimum space on your desk. Furthermore, both the Ruby and Topaz come with DIN and VESA mounting options to store the tiny device behind your monitor or mount it on a DIN rail. In terms of similarities, the pair of mini-PCs come equipped with two DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots that are compatible with memory modules up to DDR4-3200. They also feature two M.2 slots to accommodate 2280 drives. One port supports both PCIe and SATA SSDs, while the secondary port is limited to SATA SSDs. Standard display outputs include one HDMI 2.0a port and one DisplayPort 1.2a outputs. For Internet connectivity, the Ruby and Topaz provide one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and one Gigabit Ethernet port in addition to Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and Bluetooth 5 features. The number of USB ports are the same on both models, but the design varies slightly. On the Ruby, you get two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. In contrast, the Topaz offers four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports. You can outfit the Ruby with the quad-core Ryzen 3 4300U, hexa-core Ryzen 5 4500U or the octa-core Ryzen 7 4800U. On the other hand, the Topaz is available with the dual-core Core i3-1115G4 or with the quad-core Core i5-1135G7 and Core i7-1165G7. The base configuration for both lineups comes with 4GB of memory and a simple 128GB SSD. However, Simply NUC offers consumers the option to deck out the Ruby and Topaz the way how they want it. Pricing-wise, the Ruby and Topaz start at $519 and $559, respectively.

The special event is coming in early 2021. Splatoon 2's next Splatfest, which is a part of Nintendo's special celebration of Mario's 35 anniversary, is coming in early 2021. The Mushroom vs. Superstar Splatfest kicks off on January 15 and runs for two full days. The Splatfest will start at 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET on January 15 and will run until that same time on January 17. The Splatfest is global, so it's going to start and end at the same time in all regions. Nintendo announced the news earlier this week on its official Japanese Splatoon 2 Twitter account. This Splatfest announcement came alongside the announcement of Super Mario 3D All-Stars back in September. Nintendo is also releasing special Nintendo items and hosting special in-game events in other games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons as well to celebrate Mario's 35 anniversary. Some Splatoon players believe that this will be the final Splatfest for Splatoon 2. Nintendo had already stopped hosting the events before the pandemic, but decided to re-host Splatfests that had already ran once worldwide stay-at-home orders went into place. The Splatoon community is still running their own Splatfests, even if this is the last official one. Nintendo unexpectedly canceled the livestream of a recent Splatoon tournament due to controversy surrounding the Super Smash Bros. Melee community. Nintendo had forced The Big House, a Smash tournament that was running a "Slippi" mod that added reliable online play to Melee, to close down earlier this year. Splatoon players put variations of the trending hashtag #FreeMelee in their names to show support of the Super Smash Bros. community. Nintendo then canceled the livestream for the Splatoon 2 North American Open due to "unexpected executional challenges."

Sleep tight old friend Whilst it feels like the demise of Adobe's browser plug-in has been dragging itself along for almost a decade, Flash Player has finally received its final update, labeled AIR 32, along with an eulogy. Love it for its association with simple browser games, or loathe it for its ability to invite hackers in with welcome arms, anyone who has been present on the internet since the late 90's will have experienced this memorable software. Best laptop 2020: our pick of the 15 best laptops you can buy this year Keep your work secure with one of the best business VPN choices The long and painful death of Flash On December 8, Adobe made the following announcement: "Today marks the final scheduled release of Flash Player for all regions outside of Mainland China. We want to take a moment to thank all of our customers and developers who have used and created amazing Flash Player content over the last two decades. We are proud that Flash had a crucial role in evolving web content across animation, interactivity, audio, and video. We are excited to help lead the next era of digital experiences. Adobe will no longer support Flash Player after December 31 2020, and Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12 2021; Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems. Some users may continue to see reminders from Adobe to uninstall Flash Player from their system. Please see our Flash Player EOL General Information page for more details and links to instructions for those that would like to uninstall Flash Player manually." Gone in a Flash The decision to remove support for Flash Player was made due to the dwindling numbers of users utilizing the service, and with better and more secure options available such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly it isn’t difficult to see why. Quirky web games and cartoons aside, Flash was a trojan horse for invasive malware and cybercriminals. Even without nefarious intent, Flash-based pop-up ads plagued devices and website load speeds. In short, whilst Flash may hold some serious nostalgia for those of us who grew up with dial-up internet, the Adobe software is archaic technology that doesn’t hold up to today's standards. Still, if you have that itch for playing some classics from the early 2000's, there are a handful of dedicated organizations such as The Internet Archive and BlueMaxima's Flashpoint that are preserving these Flash projects and animations so that they don't fall victim to the sands of time.

Scalpers are raking in tens of millions of dollars Scalping has become one of the most irritating things afflicting the PC hardware and gaming console markets at the moment. With scalpers snatching up what little volume there is of the latest hardware, they make buying a new graphics card or CPU or game console nearly impossible -- at least at the MSRP. So Data Engineer Michael Driscoll from dev.to set out to see just how much money these scalpers have made off of the recent shiny new hardware, to hopefully get an idea as to how long this problem will last. Driscoll created a program that can grab all of eBay's sold listings for the latest generation AMD and Nvidia silicon, as well as the two new consoles, and put them all together to get an idea of how prices were trending and how much money scalpers were making on these products. While eBay isn't the only place scalpers can sell products, it's where most scalpers go to sell the latest and greatest Nvidia and AMD hardware. But first, a step back: If you don't know what scalping is, it's when a person (or company) buys a product for the sole purpose of making a profit off of it, specifically, selling it for much more money than the MSRP. This "hobby" works due to supply and demand; when supply is low and demand is high, scalpers can make huge profits. Because if demand is high enough, there will be a customer base that simply won't care how much that product will cost and buy it anyway. When supply starts meeting demand on a broad enough scale, scalpers lose almost all momentum because buyers can go to official retailers and buy the product at a fair price. Michael's graphs aren't based on actual prices. Rather they are based on percentages, with each product's MSRP being the baseline. That makes reading these graphs a bit easier. almost immediately on eBay for 180% of its normal value. As we move along into October of 2020, it became way worse, with the 3080 selling at 220% above its MSRP. Fortunately, as we got into November, things have somewhat stabilized, with the 3080s going back to selling at 180% above its MSRP. But that's still way more than the suggested price. Much is the same with the RTX 3090. Many scalpers were selling the card at 220% of its MSRP right off the bat. Then things died down, with the card now selling for around the 140% mark. That's better than the RTX 3080 but still ridiculous pricing for the 3090. But that's where the good news (if there was any) ends; Nvidia's RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti are probably the worst offenders when it comes to eBay pricing. These are mid-ranged cards, and customers are looking at the price just as much as performance, compared to the 3080 and 3090, where buyers are more concerned about pure performance than general affordability. The 3070 started selling immediately at 180% of its MSRP on eBay and really hasn't gone down since then. The same goes for the RTX 3060 Ti, which sells at 165% of its targeted MSRP. Overall according to Driscoll, scalpers have made $8,669,418 on RTX 3090s, $10,326,885 on RTX 3080s, $3,321,113 on RTX 3070s and $67,636 from RTX 3060 Tis. 3060 TI sales are low due to it being less than a month old.

Two studios known for narrative are teaming up on Dustborn. Announced earlier this year, Dustborn is an upcoming game by Dreamfall Chapters developer Red Thread Games that's said to be "about hope, love, friendship, robots--and the power of words." Now, Red Thread has announced that Detroit: Become Human developer Quantic Dream will be publishing the dystopian road trip game. As reported by Gematsu, the studio said it was important to find a publisher that would share its vision for narrative-driven games. "Quantic Dream shares our passion and love for great narratives and interactive storytelling," Red Thread Games creative director Ragnar Tornquist said. "It was vitally important for us to only work with someone who truly understood and appreciated our vision for this game, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to help us bring Dustborn to players around the world." "From the very beginning, we were captivated by Dustborn‘s ambition, its visual and gameplay originality, its colorful characters and the themes it addresses," Quantic Dreams' CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere added. "Our goal as a publisher is to enable Red Thread Games to express their vision in the best way and then share it with as many people as possible. Quantic Dream will provide Red Thread Games with its own technical and editorial resources." Quantic Dream went independent earlier this year, announcing its goal to self-fund its own games, as well as providing investment to smaller studios. Dustborn is due to be published for consoles and PC in 2021, with a more exact release window still to be announced. With a colorful visual style inspired by graphic novels, Dustborn sees the protagonist Pax road tripping across the "divided states of America" in a dystopian "post-infodemic" world.
