Sonic Frontiers seemingly releasing on November 15, according to retail leak
A retail shop in Taiwan seems to have confirmed a November 15 release date for Sonic Frontiers.
Furthermore, the listing states the game will receive a batch of DLC after release (via reddit).
If the date sounds familiar to you, it’s because it popped up in the PlayStation database at one point before being removed (thanks, Nintendo Everything).
You’re more likely to have a high GPA if you play music while studying – here’s the best genre, according to research
IF picking a playlist was your first step when studying, you’re more likely to have had a high GPA, according to new research.
A survey of 2,000 Americans looked at the tie between music and study habits and found those who play music were likelier to have a GPA above 3.2 (84 percent vs. 78 percent).
A survey of 2,000 general population Americans looked at the tie between music and study habits and found those who play music were likelier to have a GPA above 3.2 (84 percent vs. 78 percent)[/caption]
Results showed that half of respondents recall regularly listening to music while studying (49 percent), and 60 percent said that they were able to study better with sound on in the background.
Further, this percentage is likely to increase for younger students.
A total of 58 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds noted they listened to music while studying, compared to only 41 percent of 58- to 76-year-old respondents.
And this trend continues beyond the classroom and into the workplace.

Similarly, 81 percent of those who listen to music while studying said it helps make their learning experience more enjoyable.

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of CSU Global, the survey found that classical music (31 percent), R&B (28 percent) and country (28 percent) are among the top genres people would recommend for a productive study session.
And some didn’t just stop at music, also citing nature sounds (30 percent), real-life sounds (26 percent) and podcasts (24 percent) as pleasant background noise when studying.
“There are a variety of platforms students can tap into to aid their studying habits, whether it’s an instrumental music playlist on Spotify, a soothing meditation on Calm, or rain sounds on YouTube,” said Dr. Christina Agvent, program director of teaching and learning at CSU Global.
“There is something out there to fit every student’s preferences and study styles.”
The survey also delved into the differences between those who enjoy listening to music while studying and those who don’t and found that of the two-thirds of respondents who said they were focused in school, the majority listened to music while studying (58 percent).
Those who listened to music while studying were also more likely to use mnemonic devices, notecards or other creative tools to help them memorize information (52 percent vs. 36 percent).
This may be why music listeners had an easier time taking tests (64 percent vs. 45 percent) and felt more prepared for class regularly (80 percent vs. 66 percent).
While the average person spent five and a half hours studying every week, those who enjoyed music were more likely to spend upwards of seven hours a week.
It’s no surprise, then, that 58 percent of respondents agree that schools should consider allowing students to experiment with background music while studying to help improve their focus.
“Listening to music while studying can be an extremely helpful tool for some students in improving their focus,” Dr. Agvent said.
