Finding Cherry Grove and Cherry Blossom Trees in Minecraft

Guides
mojang cherry blossom minecraft

The 1.20 update has added beautiful cherry blossom trees to Minecraft. On our community server we love them and have got them planted everywhere. They’re a bit tricky to find, but we’ve got the details on how to locate the Cherry Blossom Biome. Locating the Biome Without Console Commands If you’re just on standard Minecraft and aren’t using console commands, there isn’t going to be a real “trick” to finding the Cherry Blossom Biome. It often spawns where meadows would, near the base of a mountain, which means you can find emerald ore underneath the biome. If you’re in creative mode you can simply fly in a single direction and keep going until you locate the biome. You’ll notice them by the distinct pink leaves and lime green ground. Locating the Biome with Console Commands If you have proper server permissions or are playing creative yourself, you can simply use:…

Dave the Diver – Unlocking Cucumbers and Special Events Guide

Guides
DaveTheDiver Illust02

In Dave the Diver you actually don’t get cucumbers until fairly late in the game. You may have even noticed in one of the hotfixes shortly after launch that it wouldn’t give you the cucumber event unless you had the farm unlocked. That’s because the events generally cycle in a rotation and you could, in theory, not have done the farmer’s quest by that time. The only actual quest VIP that you have to do for the story is none of them? I think, actually yeah, you don’t have to catch the seahorses to get enough town popularity. So really, you could play forever and never unlock the farm. Not only do you not get cucumbers until fairly late in the game, but there are special events that occur. We’ve got the details and the general rotation they follow below along with how do you get cucumbers on your farm.…

Gaming Tier List’s New Logo and Technology Upgrades

Site News
site updates july 2023

We’re proud to announce that Gaming Tier List has launched with new branding and a brand-new logo to refresh the site’s branding and our commitment to the best news and guides for video games. In our previous logo, the colors followed the rainbow which placed red first. The best tier out there, S+, is not red. It is followed with orange, yellow, green then teal which is completely out of order. The name Gaming Tier List is shadowed and can be kind of hard to read. The logo’s age shows artifacting when pulled up on the latest mobile devices. That’s when we’ve engaged creative talent and launched our latest logo. Understanding Our Brand We’re a forward-thinking organization and our logo should highlight our diversity. We’ve kept the rainbow of colors, but properly aligned them to really define what a tier list is. Additionally, the horizontal boxes are now vertical with…

Dave the Diver Auto-Supply Guide (Using Fish Efficiently)

Guides
sddefault

We’ve put together a video guide on how to use auto-supply and, for those who just want to get the details, go into a full description below. We’ll start with our video guide and then if you’d like the text version, we’ve got that supplied beneath. Auto-Supply saves you A LOT of fish in Dave the Diver and isn’t called out all that well in the game. Let’s dig into how to run Bancho Sushi like a pro: Auto-Supply Guide The way Bancho Sushi works in Dave the Diver is that the two prep chefs prepare all the meals for Bancho to cook. As meals are ordered, Bancho cooks them. The number of meals selected is how many meals the cooks will work on and prepare. It seems like the game wants you to set out the exact number of dishes you think customers will want that night. What the…

Kotaku’s Staff Uproar: Why Generative Text Can’t Replace Editorial Staff

News
kotaku screenshot

It seems that G/O Media, owner of Kotaku, has made the transition to AI content. This in turn has alienated the editorial staff who have taken to social media along with their union. The use of AI generative text is currently extremely controversial, with Gaming Tier List parent owner Yurika Corporation banning its use on all properties. There’s a lot of reasons for that, which we’ll get into, but first let’s get the information from the source. Relevant Tweet What Is G/O Media Doing and What Does AI Mean? We need to be really fair here for a moment and explain what the business, G/O Media, is saying instead of focusing on the hype. What they’re arguing is that they’ve begun using generative text to create articles that are reviewed and fact checked by an editor. The editor then approves the post to go live, assuming that it has been…

Video Game Conventions Returning in Full Force: FFXIV to Give Away Polygonal Grapes

News
fanfest29323423

Everything from Final Fantasy XVI to Path of Exile are having their conventions return to their regular cadence. During 2020-2022 it was rather rough for travel and events. Now, in 2023, it seems that more and more games are returning to their yearly fan meet-ups. That’s awesome! To celebrate, this year’s Final Fantasy FXIV Fan Festival is rather awesome: You get a small tote, some nice pins and a stress ball of grapes. This joke is not only rather neato but it also is a return to the things that make the video game community awesome. For some context, some grapes in FFXIV had bugged out and were rendering in their low-polygonal version. A lot of games will derender an asset the further you are from it since you can’t see the fidelity. In this instance, the game wasn’t properly rendering the grapes. It’s neat that games are returning back…

Twitter’s Temporary Rate Limiting’s Wide Impact on Gamers

News

Gaming is the most social activity online. The only other more social activity is FaceTime, due to its liminal space intrusion into your life when someone calls. Social activity requires platforms that allow users to connect. The entire basis of the Internet is to send and receive from other users in other locations. Twitter has recently rate limited users on a temporary basis, which has greatly slowed the flow of information between communities. There’s a crisis unfolding on the Internet’s most social town square. Twitter’s pathway to monetization continues to be rocky. Decision after decision has left users a gasp at what to do when their normal that had been consistent for so long rapidly changes day after day. The long and short of the current crisis is that new users, regular users and paid users all have different amounts of posts they can view per day. The limit seems…

Base Building with the Energy Flow of Feng Shui

Guides
minecraft base

Feng Shui is a very deep practice that has many elements and a lot of philosophy to it. Often thought of in offices and at home, yet rarely thought of in video game homes. Yet, the basic principles of Feng Shui can apply to your Minecraft, Valheim, Rust, Grounded, etc. base just as well at your apartment or house. Let’s dive into that. The Flow of Energy In Feng Shui the idea is that the entrance of the house is where energy begins to flow from. Pathways that everyone walks brings energy with it and manipulating that flow of energy is how you can have good energy or bad energy within a home. While this is a massive oversimplification, that oversimplification can really help to understand the basic principle here. If you think about your base in a game, especially a multiplayer base, you can quickly see the pathways where…

Dave the Diver Vegetable, Fish and Seaweed Farm Guide

Guides
dave the diver farming

In Dave the Diver you will unlock three different kinds of farms: vegetable, fish and seaweed. You’ll unlock them directly in that order. The game does a fantastic job of going over the basics of each farm, but you may be wanting to know what’s coming up or how to deal with specific mechanics. That’s where our guide comes in. We’ll go into unlocking them and how to efficiently run them. In order to avoid spoiling the game, we will not call any specific character out by name or story. We now also have a video guide on YouTube! Unlocking the Farms The first farm is going to be unlocked by a loud-mouthed guest who visits your sushi restaurant fairly on. They’re going to ask for curry and you have to deliver that dish to them yourself. So not only does it have to be on the menu, but Dave…

Dave the Diver Gold & Bei Guide

Guides
image 1

Money talks and in Dave the Diver it might literally walk in this mash-up of every kind of adventure and action mechanic thrown into one. Dave the Diver is so much fun, but you’ll need to do a lot of grinding across everything from a Farmville-esq farm to your own hatchery. To fuel it all you’ll need gold above the surface and Bei below the surface. This guide may contain mild spoilers on later game mechanics. Farming Gold in Dave the Diver Gold is obtained through three methods: sushi sales, quests and selling fish and items. The first is going to be your biggest revenue driver and fund your expeditions the most. The second, questing, is going to help get you to the next quest a bit faster and get you some much needed upgrades. The last is reserved for the lower tier fish and any items that are meant…
