Destiny 2 Threshers are finally nerfed, thank goodness
Destiny 2 Threshers have been nerfed in the popular FPS game, according to an update from Bungie. The powerful flying Cabal ships were a burden to players who complained about their ability to one-shot Guardians since Lightfall’s release just over three weeks ago. Theshers’ projectiles can seek targets, which made it nearly impossible for Destiny 2 players to take cover from or dodge them, resulting in near-guaranteed death.

Thanos Nerfed And More Changes In Marvel Snap Update
Second Dinner, the dev team behind Marvel Snap, has revealed the patch notes for the game’s most recent update. Changes include cards being moved from one Series to another, balance changes such as Thanos now being a 6/10 and not a 6/11, different cards appearing in the token shop, audio changes being made to places like Bar Sinister, and more.
Other card updates have been implemented, such as adding a nerf to Aero. Although she’s receiving a boost in power, her On Reveal ability has been changed, and now only the last card played by the enemy will be moved to her location.
Series 3 cards will now be placed in their own shop, and you’ll no longer be charged tokens to buy one from the shop each month. In addition to that, the token shop will now only contain Series 4, Series 5, and Ultimate Variant cards.
Valorant’s Chamber is finally being nerfed in upcoming patch
Valorant, the tactical team-based shooter, is finally listening to the pleas of fans and making some changes to Sentinel Agent, Chamber.
Agent designers, Kevin Meier and Jay Watford, discuss each change to Chamber and exactly why they’ve made them via a press release. “We know you have been asking for Chamber updates after seeing him dominate your ranked games, pro play, and maybe even your nightmares.”
The pair continue, “We want to strike the appropriate balance between preserving his character identity and maintaining Valorant’s game health.” Chamber has been a top pick since his release as a Sentinel agent with great offensive capabilities, meaning Chamber players can easily hold their own ground and dominate a round, or an entire match.
Warzone 2 XP farming glitch nerfed, but not patched, in DMZ
Warzone 2 XP farming is out of control, or at least it was. As an incredibly popular weapon XP glitch has been nerfed in the battle royale game by developers Raven Software and Infinity Ward, which helps players get massive amounts of money in the free Call of Duty game and use that to level up weapons. The Warzone 2 XP glitch is seemingly still possible in the FPS game for now, but your rewards for trying it have been reduced.

Counter-Strike just nerfed two of its most popular guns
I was once a regular Counter-Strike player, but that was almost twenty years ago. What’s remarkable about Valve’s team shooter is how little its fundamentals have changed over those twenty years. The AWP and M4A1? Still pretty much how they were when I was first mishandling them in the Half-Life mod.
Which makes yesterday’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update pretty remarkable. The AWP’s magazine size has been cut in half and the M4A1-S now does less damage at long range.
One of PC gaming’s most iconic guns just got nerfed

Nvidia’s selling a nerfed GPU in China to get around export restrictions
Nvidia has released a cut-down version of its high-end A100 GPU as a way to get around restrictions the US government recently imposed to limit how companies can sell AI training equipment to countries like China and Russia. The card, known as the A800, should have the same massive computing capabilities as the original but can only communicate with other cards in a computing cluster at 400 gigabytes per second instead of 600Gbps. According to The Wall Street Journal, that means the A800 should be just as good for simple tasks but will be significantly less effective when it’s part of something like a supercomputer.
An unnamed Nvidia spokesperson told Reuters that the card is an “alternative product to the Nvidia A100 GPU for customers…
League of Legends patch 12.18: Udyr DPS increased, Lulu nerfed
League of Legends patch 12.18 details have been released by Riot lead designer, Matt ‘Phroxzon’ Leung-Harrison. Hoping not to rock the boat too much before the MOBA’s biggest event of the year, Worlds, the changes appear to be low-key, pulling back on things the team may have ‘overshot’ with the previous patch.
