Xbox Wire - The Chant: Will You Awaken from this Spiritual Nightmare
Summary
Horror action-adventure The Chant launches on Xbox Series X|S today.
Fight back against – and escape from – dark forces unleashed when a spiritual ritual goes wrong.
Test your survival skills and solve the mysteries of the past in a deeply unsettling environment awash with negative energy.
Are you ready to open your mind and find out who you truly are? The Chant is now available on Xbox Series X|S and it’s going to take you on the ultimate journey of self-discovery, unlocking parts of your mind that you didn’t even know existed.
Set on a remote island at a spiritual retreat, The Chant is a single-player, third person horror action-adventure game that will stay with you long after you put down the controller. The main protagonist, Jess, arrives at the retreat seeking to come to terms with past trauma. But her quest for inner peace will soon turn into a desperate struggle for survival.
Taking inspiration from the psychedelic horror movies of the late 70s, The Chant leaves you to explore an unknown and unsettling landscape awash with negative energy. You will have to craft, fight, and make your escape from the horrors set loose when a spiritual ritual goes wrong.
The Chant tells the story of what happens when you toy with things that aren’t meant to be toyed with. There’s a recurring cast of characters that will help you untangle the complex history of the island, but it’s very much up to you to fight off the evil creatures, reason with the survivors, and set about reversing the ritual.
The unique, interactive soundscape coupled with the use of color and negative space creates a deep sense of unease and sets up moments of sheer terror. The haunting electronic rock soundtrack is composed by the award-winning Paul Ruskay, and Siobhan Williams, star of “Sacred Lies” and AMC’s acclaimed series “Hell On Wheels”, leads a talented cast of actors.
Will you be able to elevate your spirit to meditate and access supernatural abilities? Or will you succumb to panic and flee?
Find out if you have what it takes to keep yourself together – in the face of dark forces determined to tear you apart – in The Chant, now available for Xbox Series X|S.

News - Today’s Coin Master free spins September 2023
Are you wondering how to get Coin Master free spins? You’ve come to the right place. This mobile game combines the thrill of playing slots with the social battling of Clash of Clans to create something that you just can’t put down; in a good way. The problem is, you so often have to put it down if you’re not willing to fork out the cash for regular spins.
In this Coin Master blog, we’re going to provide you with all of the ways you can get your hands on a few free spins and a Coin Master bonus here and there. We also recommend you check out our Coin Master free cards and Coin Master free coins guides to get even more rewards, and our Pet Master free spins guide if you fancy checking out Moon Active’s latest game.
Make sure you click the notification button above to be alerted whenever we add new Coin Master free spin and coin links!
Here are a bunch of tips to help you get even more free spins in Coin Master.
Follow Coin Master on social media
Each day, Moon Active, Coin Master’s developer, provides a bunch of links that you can follow to get your hands on Coin Master free spins. If you keep on top of this, you can get a steady stream of free stuff for very little effort. You can follow Coin Master on Facebook or Twitter.
Want more? Check out CodesDb for a powerful, searchable database of the latest game codes.
Sign up for email gifts
If you sign up for email gifts, you can get yourself a handful of Coin Master free spins every single day just by following a link on your phone. We haven’t encountered any spam from signing up so far either, so it’s a quick and easy method of getting yourself some tasty free spins.
Invite friends
Each time you invite a friend who successfully joins Coin Master through Facebook, you’ll get 40 Coin Master free spins, which is considerable. They don’t even have to actually play the game; they simply have to download it and log in via their Facebook account to get you the free spins. Of course, it’s in both your interests to actually play it, which brings us nicely to our next point.
Request spins as gifts
You can get up to 100 Coin Master free spins per day from friends, though to get to those heights you’ll need 100 active friends who are kind enough to send you a gift each day. Each gift consists of a single free spin.
Unless you’re incredibly popular, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll have 100 friends; let alone 100 that will actually deign to play a game with you. We recommend heading on over to the official Reddit community or Facebook communities to try and find people willing to play with you.
Watch video ads
You can get a limited number of Coin Master free spins per day by watching a video ad. Simply scroll to the slot machine and tap on the spin energy button on the bottom right. If it’s not there, you’ve run out of free spins you can get through this method for the day, but if it is, simply tap on it and you’ll watch an ad.
Spin
Ironically, you can actually get a ton of Coin Master free spins by, well, spinning. If you get three spin energy symbols in a row, you’ll get a bunch of free spins. Pick up a chain of them and you can spin for ages before you run out.
Level up your village
Each time you level up your village, you’ll get a bunch of Coin Master free spins. It’s not easy though, as it costs a considerable amount of gold to purchase new buildings and improve them, and you have to purchase every single one of them, including improvements, to level up. That’s going to cost a lot of spins, as it is.
There’s almost always at least one event happening in Coin Master, and it can absolutely shower you with free spins. While viewing the slot machine, look at the top right of the screen. Any virtual buttons that you can see beneath the menu (which is displayed as three lines) are an event. Tap on one and you’ll see what each event involves.
Take advantage of these events and you can get yourself a lot more Coin Master free spins than usual.
Wait
This is an obvious suggestion, but it’s actually worth taking into consideration. You get five free spins every single hour, and you can only hold a maximum of 50 spins at any one time. That means every ten hours you’ll hit the maximum number of spins, and any Coin Master free spins you would have earned after that will cease to exist.
So, we recommend setting a reminder to visit Coin Master every ten hours at least to spend your spins so you are always earning more. You’ll actually end up earning a huge number of extra spins if you’re dedicated, so it’s totally worth doing.

Now, we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have regarding getting Coin Master free spins.

Today we are looking at Scatter for the Godot Game Engine. Scatter is a Godot add-on that makes it incredibly easy to instance mesh objects in your game level. This makes level design tasks like placing grass, paths, fences, etc incredibly simple. Additionally Scatter supports instancing multiple meshes (think different tree meshes to make a forest) in the same scatter, excluding splines or points from being scatter targets and more.
Scatter is an open source project with the source code hosted on GitHub under the MIT open source license. The project is implemented as a simple Godot add-on, so simply clone the repository into your projects Addons folder (or create one if you don’t have one already). Next load your project, go to Project Settings, then Plugins and make sure Scatter is enabled.
Once scattered is enabled, you create a Scatter object. This is a spline path that defines the boundaries of the scatter object. You need to add a ScatterItem child to your Scatter, then add a MeshInstance to the ScatterItem. This mesh instance is the 3D model that will be “scattered” around the boundary defined by the Scatter path.
The creator of the Scatter add-on also created Concept Graph for Godot, an excellent procedural generation extension we previously covered here. You can learn more about Scatter for Godot and see it in action in the video below.
Unified Blazor UI in the Mobile Blazor Bindings Preview 5
Eilon
October 30th, 2020
I’m excited to announce that today we are releasing the Mobile Blazor Bindings Preview 5 update that adds support for sharing UI between web apps and mobile/desktop apps. You can now use a Razor Class Library (RCL) to build your UI and app logic once and use it in a Blazor Web app and in a Mobile Blazor Bindings app. This release also includes many other improvements, such as support for Shell with Blazor @page routing, SkiaSharp for rich graphics, gesture recognizers, and a whole lot more!
You can build one UI using Blazor Web and host it in a Blazor Server or Blazor Web Assembly app and also in a Mobile Blazor Bindings hybrid app to target Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows:
These are the major new features in the 0.5 Preview 5 release:
Build your UI in a Razor Class Library (RCL) and share the same UI between web app and native app, including static assets such as CSS and images (community contribution from Jan-Willem Spuij)
Support for Shell with Routing, including the Razor @page directive (community contribution from Lachlan Gordon
Support for SkiaSharp graphics (community contribution from Lachlan Gordon
To get started building a Blazor Hybrid app with Experimental Mobile Blazor Bindings preview 5, install the .NET Core 3.1 SDK, have Visual Studio with the Mobile development with .NET (Xamarin.Forms) and ASP.NET and web development workloads installed, and then run the following command:
dotnet new -i Microsoft.MobileBlazorBindings.Templates::0.5.50-preview
And then create your first project by running this command:
dotnet new blazorhybrid -o MyHybridApp
Note: For additional information on required software, please check the Getting Started article.
Now open it in Visual Studio and run it on Android, iOS, Windows, or macOS. That’s it! You can find additional docs and tutorials on https://docs.microsoft.com/mobile-blazor-bindings/. We have a new tutorial for building a Razor Class Library and including it in a Blazor Server app as well as targeting Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows platforms.
Razor Class Libraries are a feature of Razor that enable you to package part of your application’s UI and logic into a reusable library. This library can then be reused in multiple web applications. Now in Mobile Blazor Bindings you can use the same library in a Blazor Hybrid application as part of a mobile or desktop app. The web content is hosted in a Web View, just like any hybrid app content, and it can interact with any native parts of the application, and the reverse is true as well. Previous versions included limited support for RCLs, and this version adds improved support for them, particularly support for serving static assets such as CSS and images, as well as support for JSInterop for interop between JavaScript and .NET code.
Shell navigation
To build a great native experience for your app you can use the Shell control that comes from Xamarin.Forms. Starting with Preview 5 you can author native Blazor pages with the @page "/search/{query}" syntax and integrate them with the Shell’s navigation (such as the Back button) and navigate to them using the new NavigationManager.NavigateToAsync($"/search/{query}") API. Pages can use the navigation manager by injecting it from the DI container as in @inject ShellNavigationManager NavigationManager.
SkiaSharp graphics
SkiaSharp is a popular cross-platform graphics library based on Google’s Skia graphics library. In Preview 5 you can directly use SkiaSharp’s Canvas APIs to render rich high-performance graphics directly in your Mobile Blazor Bindings app.
Here’s what a simple canvas might look like:
<ContentView> <StackLayout Padding="20"> <SKCanvasView OnPaintSurface="PaintSurface"/> </StackLayout>
</ContentView> @code
{ void PaintSurface(SKPaintSurfaceEventArgs e) { var canvas = e.Surface.Canvas; canvas.Clear(SKColors.Green); var paint = new SKPaint { Color = SKColors.SkyBlue, }; canvas.DrawLine(0, 0, 200, 200, paint); }
}
And here’s what a more complex canvas might render as:
More information
Thank you to contributors
This release had several major contributions from community contributors:
Jan-Willem Spuij added support for Razor Class Libraries with static assets. He stayed up late (his time) on calls with me several times and I appreciate his hard work!
Lachlan Gordon added support for Shell navigation and SkiaSharp. His patience in playing time-zone ping-pong (Australia vs. USA) is most appreciated and resulted in high quality contributions!
Thanks you to Jan-Willem, Lachlan, and everyone else who contributed to this release!
What’s next? Let us know what you want!
This project relies on your feedback to help shape the future of Blazor for native and hybrid scenarios. Please share your thoughts on this blog post or at the GitHub repo so we can keep the discussion going.
AppleInsider - AirTag helps police track down another car thief
Apple AirTag with key FOB
Police in Nashville were able to use an AirTag to help track down a stolen vehicle.
That continues to be the case in Nashville, Tennessee, as police were able to track down a suspected car thief thanks to an AirTag, as first covered by 9to5Mac. According toWSMV4, the victim informed police their car had been stolen on August 3, but an AirTag was installed inside.
Metropolitan Nashville Police Department tracked the AirTag, which was tucked away inside a Dodge Charger Scat Pack. They corresponded with the Metropolitan Nashville Aviation Unit to follow the vehicle.
The Dodge Charger eventually stopped at a local barbershop, and the suspect, identified as Kevonta Brooks, went inside with a passenger. A police air unit passed along a description of Brooks, and law enforcement on the ground took him into custody.
Once taken into custody, it was discovered Brooks had a vehicle key FOB, a vehicle reprogramming device, and a screwdriver in a brown backpack. He had other items as well, including various paraphernalia.
Brooks remains in custody, with a $28,500 bond. He is facing several charges, including vehicle theft and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
