Learn To Code With These Premium, $60 Certification Courses

Posted: 09 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT

Anyone who has followed the labor market, even casually, over the last 20 years knows that jobs related to computer programming are perennially among the most sought after. As our society shifts ever more to complete reliance on computers, so do we shift towards reliance on the people with the skills to program them. This dependence makes learning to code a great decision even for those who don't want to pursue it professionally. Not to mention, coding is practically a necessity if you want to work at a game studio.

While it is a great idea to learn to code, learning computer languages can get expensive. Some students go for four-year degrees to learn, others opt toward boot camps which can still cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Thankfully, there are e-learning options like The Premium Learn to Code 2021 Certification Bundle that can teach you all you need to know without breaking the bank. This bundle contains 27 distinct courses, combining for over 270 hours of instruction. Best of all, it's currently available for only $60. The combined value of all 27 courses is $4,056 (that's a savings of 98%).

Genshin Impact, the free-to-play gacha game with similar gameplay to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, may soon be getting some summer-themed skins for certain characters, if recent leaks turn out to be accurate.

Free Resident Evil Village Quests Let You Earn PS4 And PS5 Bonuses

Posted: 08 May 2021 10:48 AM PDT

Resident Evil Village is available now, and if you're playing on the PS4 or PS5, Sony has an extra way for you to celebrate the new game. Completing quests will reward you with special bonuses, including avatars for either console and a PS4 theme.

To complete the quest for the Resident Evil Village avatars, which you can set for use on both the PS4 and PS5, all you have to do is answer the date the first Resident Evil game was released on PlayStation. We won't give it away here so you can use your noodle, but a very quick Google search will help, and the question refers to the Japanese release date. After that, just watch 30 seconds of the Resident Evil Showcase video.

For the PS4 theme, your job is even easier. All you have to do is watch 30 seconds of the game's trailer and then visit the store listing. Because the PS5 doesn't support themes like the PS4, you can't use it on the newer console.

Resident Evil Village Eased Up On "Tension Curve" After Players Found RE7 Too Scary

Posted: 08 May 2021 09:40 AM PDT

Resident Evil Village is a horror game at heart, and it builds on the return to the classic, slower-moving horror of Resident Evil 7 that was also a signature of the early games. However, Capcom took a slightly different approach to how it handled scares this time around, as it didn't want to overwhelm the player with terror like it sometimes did in Resident Evil 7. After all, what good is having scares if people quit before they see them?

Speaking to Axios, producer Tsuyoshi Kanda said Capcom received Resident Evil 7 feedback and some players felt it was actually too scary. Scary is obviously the goal in horror, but not if it means players don't want to keep playing it for fear of an unexpected bowel movement.

"In one regard, that's exactly what's we're striving for, so it's a huge compliment for us," he said. "But at the same time, it's always our goal to create something that anybody can feel comfortable jumping in and playing, so we eased up on the tension curve [in RE Village] relative to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, so players aren't in constant fear."
