Crimson Desert Essentials: Early tips for faster travel, bigger inventory, and tougher fights

Kotaku’s spoiler-free guide for Crimson Desert compiles practical early-game tips: don’t spam attacks or sprint—hold attack for continuous hits and use a steady pace to conserve stamina; upgrade gear with a blacksmith early and visit all shopkeepers to expand your inventory with inexpensive bags; complete Sealed Artifact challenges to earn Abyss Cores and boost stamina for better exploring and sprinting; hold the looting button to grab nearby items quickly; use the magic sword (L1+R1) to reveal fast-travel points and light fires for cooking and healing; stock up on cooked meat and craft meals for tougher fights; ring bells in major towns to clear fog and reveal the map; watch the yellow Abyss Core bar on the mini‑map to unlock new skill nodes as you explore.

Run Less, Win More: 7 Rules for Marathon's Extraction Shootout

Marathon, Bungie’s new live-service extraction shooter, rewards planning over reflexes. The guide lists seven no-goes: stop sprinting around, don’t fight everything that moves, quit reloading Volt ammo after every burst, enter each match with a clear goal, don’t grab every item, don’t extract immediately after a quick loot run, and don’t overuse Rook runs or sponsor kits. Instead, pace yourself, manage ammo and shields, prioritize meaningful loot, and plan your next contract to improve your odds of surviving Tau Ceti IV.

Hide Google's AI Overviews With a Simple Search Trick

Google’s AI Overviews can be hidden by appending an en dash and letters to your search query (for example, –ai), a trick that mostly works on desktop browsers; you can also switch to Classic Search or use another engine like DuckDuckGo or Brave to avoid AI summaries, but beware AI summaries can still be inaccurate and you should verify by visiting the source.

Trump's tax breaks promise bigger refunds but hit with a tangle of rules

Trump’s newly enacted tax breaks are promoted as painless refunds (no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and a deduction for auto-loan interest) but in practice they’re complex and fraught with limits: the overtime deduction depends on FLSA coverage and weekly hours, the auto-loan deduction requires final assembly in the U.S. and specific vehicle rules, and the tips break can trigger additional Social Security and Medicare taxes if tips weren’t properly reported. The IRS has asked the Labor Department for help administering the overtime provision, and many taxpayers may not be able to claim these breaks. While total refunds are projected to rise and some items like the Child Tax Credit and SALT cap are enhanced, the tangled rules could blunt the political payoff for Republicans and keep refunds uncertain for many Americans.
