STOCKHOLM – June 29, 2023 – Systemic Reaction’s open-world roguelite Ravenbound has revealed a new DLC today alongside its latest 1.1 content update. The “Hammers of Ávalt” DLC, free to keep on Steam for a limited time, introduces the brand-new hammer weapon type, giving players powerful new ways to slay their foes. In addition, the free Update 1.1 delivers a new skill tree for progression, secrets to uncover, and a range of improvements and bug fixes for all players. And with the removal of the Apex Connect requirement, players can now choose to experience Ravenbound’s fantasy open world offline for the first time!

STOCKHOLM – July 18, 2023 – Systemic Reaction has released the free Companion Update for its open-world stealth action game Generation Zero on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation. It is also free for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass subscribers. The update adds one of the community’s most long-requested features: the Machine Companion, the game’s first-ever machine friendly to players. This customizable ally is at your disposal to attack enemy machines, provide extra mobile storage for items, and help you take down hostile factions!

The Runner-type Machine Companion is here to aid the Resistance! After picking up the new “Making Friends” mission at the Vesslan Bunker Warboard, you’ll unlock your very own machine friend, with a customizable name, weapons, color scheme, and even voice! Use new emotes to interact with your Companion, keep it healthy by repairing it when it takes damage, and team up to defeat enemies together.

Players can make their trusty Machine Companion even handier on the battlefield with the new premium “Companion Accessories Pack” DLC. Available on PC, Xbox and PlayStation for $/€6.99, the bundle features three additional behavior modules which can expand the functionality of your sidekick even further, adding the ability for your Companion to heal you when you’re wounded, collect and store loot from downed foes, or mark enemy machines, increasing their visibility and damage received in combat. The DLC also includes extra armor and cosmetic customization options for your Machine Companion.

Generation Zero puts players on the front line of the battle against the machines in an alternate history Sweden. With 25 major updates and two massive story expansions implemented since launch, there’s never been a better time to join Generation Zero’s community of over four million players.

Dryel Update Number 4!

What can I possibly write about in this fourth post about Dryel? How my clothes are holding up... of course. I've been using the Dryel product since early 2018, and it has allowed me to cut down on time, save money, plus a chore. One thing I can't forget though is the fabric care. My shirts and jeans haven't shrunk (no surprise pairs of skinny jeans here). Oh yeah... and they haven't faded either. I stick to compatible fabrics that work with Dryel, so I can't speak for the other ones but mine are good to go.

I'm nearly a year in using the product, but it's just dry cleaning using the product in a dryer... so I didn't expect it to give a different result... but it is cool. Winter's knocking at the door, and I live in Orlando (Florida) so... who knows what the weather will be. I'm glad it won't be as cold as northern locations but... I tossed a few sweaters and a jacket in the Dryel bag to be fresh and on standby. Nothing happened to them either... so as we near the close of 2018 I've used Dryel for a year and my fabrics haven't faded, shrunk, stretched (which would be weird) or anything crazy. So... it continues to get two thumbs up from me, and I've literally been able to post a lot more for SDGT as a result.

So if you're looking for an alternative to dry cleaning and laundry duty... check out Dryel for yourself.

Check out my previous Dryel posts below... and game on!

Dryel Update Number 3!

I've been using Dryel for months now... and the savings stand out big time. Not going to the dry cleaners is already a plus... that's fantastic in itself, but the savings add up too. I can't go on without mentioning the task of going to the cleaners (broken record)... because I tend to be busy, and I don't like running over there to grab clothing or getting so wrapped up in work or life in general that I forget to pick up clothing. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before, but I just appreciate it. Delivery is cool, but it doesn't beat 15 to 30 minutes in the dryer at a fraction of the cost. Delivery costs... and I can't just accept it and not tip, so then that's even more out of pocket.

There are still certain items I would take to the dry cleaners... because this product doesn't cover every single fabric type, but there is NO WAY I'd go over there now unless I have to. Shirts and pants aren't going over there for sure... and I love that because that's what I wear the majority of the time (not the rare fabrics). The Dryel starter kit alone can cover 20 items... and the refill can cover 40 items. If I took a polo shirt or a pair of pants in a specific dry cleaning business (I won't name names)... I'm looking at $5.25, which doesn't cover the times I need that pair of pants or a shirt.

Recently, I had a blueberry stain on my polo out of nowhere (hmmm... Clementine may have had something to do with that), and we had to leave in less than an hour. Dryel shaved down on the time of changing shirts, and I was out the door in time for food + dessert and of course... FUN! That was the same day I received Silver the Hedgehog, for those of you who follow us on social media.

20 items is $105 in Drycleaning?!

Doing the math without adding gas and time... that's (wait for iiiittttt) $105! Multiply that by two when compared to the refill. If you're already gaming on a budget, like many others... shedding a light on where the money is actually going can help.

$105 can buy a Dryel starter kit + A tank full of gasoline/petrol in a mid-sized car + a AAA game + fast Food & Drink... with a few bucks left over. So which route am I taking? Now I won't say that I'm going over and dropping that on 20 items at the dry cleaners at one time (never have)... but if the math is left undone, you never know what it could add up to on a monthly or even yearly basis. I know people that go to the dry cleaners on the weekends to have work attire done for the upcoming week. It's like clockwork and these are full suits... so it would serve them good to at least consider a change on all safe fabrics. So far I haven't gone over in 2018... but I do have a coat I may take over depending on where we travel during the holidays. Maybe.

Anyway, this is my 3rd update... Dryel has helped save money and I appreciate that... along with the huge plus of not going over there. The reason I keep on mentioning the drive over... is because... there is a horrible turn where the closest cleaners is located, and I freaking hate it... the road is packed and its hard to get someone to let you get by + bad drivers. So this should give you a better understanding of where I'm coming from.

By the way... we also got the hookup from the makers of Dryel. This should come in handy.
