We all love a good, secret Easter egg in games, especially in a game like Stardew Valley, which is absolutely full of them. We knew about things like the bookseller and Powdermelon, but there was one item included that was never even teased. The Meowmere is a new, super-secret sword that pays a nice little tribute to Terraria. The complex sequence of events you need to perform to get it calls back to that classic crafting game. The Meowmere is intentionally hard to get without knowing all the tips and tricks, but you can save a lot of time by following these steps.

How to get Meowmere

The Meowmere isn't a sword you will be able to get on a fresh save file in Stardew Valley since you need to have explored all the way to level 100 in the mines.

Step 1: If you don't have an Ancient Doll, this will be the most time-consuming step. This item has one of the lowest drop rates in the game, and can only be found by digging up artifact spots in the Mountain, bus stop, Cindersnap Forest, or Pelican Town areas.

Step 2: Once you have a doll ready, bring it down to level 100 of the mines and find a pool of lava.

Step 3: Sacrifice the doll by chucking it in the lava to trigger a little cutscene that ends with you getting a Faraway Stone.

Step 4: Bring the Faraway Stone to the Wizard Tower and place it down in the basement near a pylon from Terraria. Once placed, a portal will open up and a friendly kitty will deliver your new Meowmere sword.

Modern Warfare 4 brings Call of Duty back to its glory days. I hope the streak lives.
Infinity Ward’s latest campaign goes back to Call of Duty’s roots and recaptures what made me a fan more than a decade ago.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
