[Last Chance] Destiny 2: Xur Has A Must-Buy Exotic For Titans
Xur's arrival in Destiny 2 doesn't generate quite the same level of excitement as it used to. Most regular Destiny probably already have all the Exotic weapons and armor the weekend vendor will offer for sale, even though the Agent of the Nine's inventory now includes gear from the Forsaken expansion. Anything newer isn't available, which means if you've been playing Destiny for a long time, there's usually no reason to bother tracking Xur down.
Sometimes, though, Xur's wares are worth checking out. While Exotic weapons in Destiny 2 always have the same perks, Exotic armor gets random perks--which means that Xur's version of an Exotic helmet or pair of boots might be slightly different from the one you already have. This week, Xur showed up in the Tower in Destiny 2 with a great role on an Exotic piece of armor, and if you play Titan, you should pick it up.
Head to the Tower's Hangar to find Xur, who is positioned on a catwalk on the north end. You're going to want to pick up the Exotic helmet he's offering called One-Eyed Mask. This Exotic is great for the Crucible: its special perk marks enemies who damage you, and if you track them down and get your revenge, you're granted a damage boost and an overshield. That makes One-Eyed Mask a favorite in Destiny 2's competitive modes by itself, but Xur's version has another great perk: Enhanced Hand Cannon Targeting.
Targeting buffs in Destiny 2 make guns more accurate, boosting their Target Acquisition stat--which basically helps you land headshots. The Enhanced version of those perks are pretty rare, so to get one on an Exotic helmet is great. The Hand Cannon version, though, is probably the best for Crucible. Most of the best PvP guns in Destiny 2 are hand cannons, like Not Forgotten and Luna's Howl.
This combination of perks makes One-Eyed Mask a pretty phenomenal find, especially if you're preparing to head into the Crucible to grind Destiny 2's current seasonal event, the Solstice of Heroes. The Mask will run you 23 Legendary shards, so hurry over and pick it up--you only have until the weekly reset on Tuesday, August 6, to make your purchase.
4 cool new projects to try in COPR for August 2019
COPR is a collection of personal repositories for software that isn’t carried in Fedora. Some software doesn’t conform to standards that allow easy packaging. Or it may not meet other Fedora standards, despite being free and open source. COPR can offer these projects outside the Fedora set of packages. Software in COPR isn’t supported by Fedora infrastructure or signed by the project. However, it can be a neat way to try new or experimental software.
Here’s a set of new and interesting projects in COPR.

Creative Assembly has a Total War card game in the works
By Ian Boudreau05 Aug 2019
Total War studio Creative Assembly has announced a new long-term deal with Chinese publisher NetEase, which will bring more of the developer’s strategy games to China’s massive player base. The deal will also cover a new collectible card game, Total War: Elysium.
Total War: Elysium will be initially exclusive to China, but according to a FAQ posted to the official Total War site, Creative Assembly hopes to bring it to worldwide audiences before too long. The studio said it will be relying on NetEase’s extensive experience in CCGs, which are massively popular in China.
“Total War: Elysium is a new title and a new genre for us, and we want to give it the best possible chance for success,” the studio says. “China gives us a huge audience of CCG fans to learn from so we can eventually bring the game to the rest of the world in better shape than ever.”
When that will be remains to be seen, but in the meantime you can find more information about it at the official Total War: Elysium site. There’s not much there at the moment, but the site will likely (hopefully) be updated with more details in the near future.

Where Is Xur Today? Destiny 2 Exotic Location, Weapon, Armor (August 2-6)
Destiny 2's next chapter, Shadowkeep, has been delayed from its September release date. The upcoming expansion is now slated for October 1, but the good news is, 2019's Moments of Triumph has been extended. And at least it's time for the arrival of Xur, Agent of the Nine, who is always on time. He's back with another haul of Exotics you can use to complete your collections as we near the completion of Destiny 2's Year Two--and he has a particular helmet that Titans won't want to miss, even if you already have a copy.
Where Is Xur?
Head to the Tower and down the stairs on the Hangar side to find Xur. He's chilling out on a catwalk toward the north end of the area, up a flight of stairs and near the edge of the Tower.
What Is Xur Selling?
As is always the case, Xur is offering an Exotic weapon and three pieces of Exotic armor, one for each character class. It's a pretty good haul this week if you're a Titan: Xur brought One-Eyed Mask, a Year Two Exotic he's only sold rarely--and it has a great role with Enhanced Hand Cannon Targeting. If you need something Xur isn't carrying, you can always snag an expensive Fated Engram, which will guarantee you an Exotic you don't already have--but only from the first year of Destiny 2 content or Forsaken. Anything that has come from the Annual Pass expansions over the last year won't be in the Fated Engram pool, so make sure you know what you need before you buy. You can also grab a Five of Swords card, which lets you adjust Nightfall runs for higher scores, and an Invitation of the Nine from the Season of the Drifter if you haven't completed them all yet.
The Huckleberry (Exotic submachine gun) -- 29 Legendary Shards
ST0MP-EE5 (Exotic Hunter leg armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
If you like submachine guns, and especially if you haven't yet unlocked The Recluse pinnacle weapon, The Huckleberry is a gun you should consider. It chews through enemies in PvE situations very quickly. Its Ride the Bull perk increases your fire rate the longer you unload while reloading part of the magazine when you earn kills. It also carries the Rampage perk, making this a bullet firehose that absolutely devastates groups of enemies at close range.
ST0MP-EE5
If you don't have ST0MP-EE5 by now and you play Hunter, buy them. This Exotic is essential for some troubling platforming moments, especially in Raids. The boots greatly increase your jump height and maneuverability, while also amping up your sprint speed and slide distances. There's too much utility in ST0MP-EE5 for any Hunter not to own them.
Punch-happy Warlocks will enjoy Winter's Guile. Kill enemies with melee attacks, and the Exotic increases your melee damage. Nothing simpler than that.
A favorite among Titans in the Crucible, One-Eyed Mask marks enemies who damage you. If you manage to then track them down and destroy them, you get an overshield and a damage increase. This is a great one for helping you clear bounties and Solstice of Heroes requirements in PvP.
Irem’s Classic Shoot ‘Em Up X Multiply Is Coming To Arcade Archives On Switch
The classic side-scrolling shoot ’em up XMultiply is expected to make a comeback on the Switch thanks to Hamster’s glorious retro line, Arcade Archives.
If you’re not familiar with this title, you might at least know the Japanese developer behind it. Irem was best known for R-Type back in the day. XMultiply – released in 1989 – is a follow-up to the original R-Type.
The story in X Multiply is about microscopic aliens invading a planet. Scientists deploy a small-sized fighter into the body of a person who has been infected by this unknown threat and it’s your job as the player to save the day.
An iPhone with in-screen TouchID could ship as soon as 2021
By Mike Wuerthele Monday, August 05, 2019, 03:41 am PT (06:41 am ET)
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo isn’t limiting himself to rumors about 2019 and 2020 phones, and has published one now predicting that the 2021 iPhone will have both Face ID and Touch ID.
In a note published on early Monday morning, Kuo predicts that the 2021 iPhone may adopt fingerprint on display (FOD) technology in 2021. The expected supplier of the technology is Qualcomm, using its ultrasonic technology, rather than other that have been developed over the last year or so.
Kuo believes that “four critical technical issues” will improve in the next 12 to 18 months. Limiting factors cited are module thickness, sensing area, power consumption, and lamination yield rate.
Apple has filed patents on the technology, which Kuo believes proves Apple’s continued interest in implementing under-screen solutions. In April, Apple was granted a patent to turn the entire display into a fingerprint reader by taking advantage of acoustic imaging —exactly what Kuo has predicted here.
A slightly different implementation is apparently also in the works, using a series of pinholes in the display panel, which would allow for an optical sensor. It is less likely that this method will be used, according to Kuo, however.
Apple maintains that the chance of another face matching a stored user is about one in a million. Identical twins have on occasion fooled the system, and it is possible to train the system with a failed Face ID unlock and a PIN entry to identify two people that look substantively alike. Touch ID has a one in 50,000 unlock with somebody else’s fingerprint.
