Elden Ring Nightreign players have finally figured out what a mysterious item found in the game does, and it is a touch underwhelming.
While FromSoftware games are known for being cryptic, one rare pickup in Elden Ring Nightreign had a ton of community members stumped. Players could find the Cord End key item during a typical Nightreign run, but outside of a brief description saying "Gain entry somewhere," there were no clues as to what the Cord End was for – or more specifically, where it was for.
However, some Elden Ring Nightreign players on Twitter (spotted by Automaton) have finally figured it out. And perhaps unsurprisingly, it opens a random, uninteresting door in the world. But of course, opening the door isn't the exciting bit, it's what lies beyond that matters, right? Naturally with such a rare item that has such an obtuse usage, there has to be something amazing behind this hidden door...But alas, instead of a legendary weapon, billions of runes to level yourself up like mad, or a new character, it's a twig. Namely the Sacrificial Twig Talisman, which prevents you from losing any runes upon dying.
Now, granted, this is a useful tool, but after all of that mystery, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed. Although, hopefully this is one of Elden Ring Nightreign's randomly generated things, and that you can eventually get something actually cool from it… but no one seems to have found that yet.
Elden Ring Nightreign's top modder claims the game could theoretically support "up to 127 players" somewhere down the line.

I'm a Bridal Makeup Artist—5 Trustworthy Drugstore Staples I Use on My Clients' Big Day
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Welcome to Drugstore Heroes, a monthly series in which we spotlight the often-overlooked and underhyped drugstore beauty products that industry experts count on. We're asking tastemakers, from editors to content creators and even celebs, to share their top recommendations for affordable yet effective products. Get ready to see the best of drugstore beauty, period. For many people, their wedding day is one of the, if not the, most important and high-stakes beauty moments of their lives. When else do you throw a massive celebration that takes months or sometimes years to plan? When else is an event attended by every important person in your life? When else are you *that* photographed? It's not the time for flaking, smudging, feathering, or any other makeup meltdown. Whether you're working with a professional makeup artist or doing it yourself (yes, it's possible), it's important to use only fail-safe and long-lasting products. You know, the ones that will withstand sweating, teary eyes, high-res photos… You name it. Surprisingly, some of the best wedding-proof makeup products can be found at the drugstore. Yes, really. Brielle Pollara, a celebrity, editorial, and bridal makeup artist, is proof of that. Below, she shares the five most reliable and budget-friendly wedding makeup products in her pro kit. How often do you use drugstore makeup products on your celebrity and/or bridal clients? I use drugstore products more often than people may think. Although in my kit there are a lot of high-end staples, there are some drugstore products that I swear by, especially for complexion and lips. It all really depends on what products can perform best under lights, cameras, and all-day wear. Regardless of the price tag, if something is tried-and-true, I'll use it. What would you say to someone who thinks drugstore makeup products can't perform as well as luxury ones, especially when it comes to a big day like one's wedding? I would tell them that price doesn't always equal performance. There are drugstore products that easily outperform some luxury ones. For a big day like a wedding, it's more about how the product wears on the skin and photographs than the branding on the bottle or the price tag. If it's in my kit, it's because I've tested it thoroughly and it works, not just because it's expensive. Any tips or tricks for finding good drugstore makeup products? There are so many options! My biggest tip would be to swatch and research. Look at reviews from MUAs on TikTok or Instagram for professional insight, not just influencers. Also, pay attention to what works best on your skin type. It's important to always test wear at home before relying on a product for a big event to avoid surprises. Don't sleep on dupes either! Some drugstore brands will formulate their products just like high-end ones. A lot of drugstore lines have great quality; you just need to know where to look. "This liner is a staple in my personal and professional makeup kit! It lasts all day, is waterproof, and is so easy to use! My most used shades are black and brown." View Deal "This has been one of my go-to lipsticks for the last 10 years! It looks amazing on almost all skin tones and has an amazing shine to it. I always pair this with a brown lip liner for the perfect nude lip." View Deal "This lipstick has a matte finish but is also very hydrating and never leaves your lips looking or feeling dry. This is the perfect nude lipstick for medium skin tones because of its peachy undertone, and for $11, it's a steal." View Deal "I [used] this mascara every day for years. The fan-effect brush gives your lashes length and volume, and it's a creamy formula, so it never leaves your lashes looking chunky. I use the shade Blackest Black, and sometimes, I use Brown Black for a softer look." View Deal "I love L.A. Girl's Shockwave Liners. They have a creamy formula and glide on effortlessly but last for hours. Gingerbread is a warm nude lip liner and pairs great with almost every shade of lipstick. Plus, it's only $6." View Deal Pollara's five wedding-proof makeup products cost $51. Talk about budget-friendly beauty for your big day.

I Heard Jurassic World Dominion Was Bad, But I Would Watch It Over Any Other Jurassic Sequel
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. SPOILER WARNING: The following article gives away, just about, the entire plot of Jurassic World Dominion. If you have not yet seen the 2022 Jurassic Park movie, act like Owen Grady holding up his hand to magically neutralize a dinosaur, and proceed with caution as you read on. With Jurassic World Rebirth hitting theaters soon, I figured it was about time that I do something I had been reluctant to do: catch up with the full franchise and watch Jurassic World Dominion. Considering the beastly reviews from critics and audiences, I was braving the worst, but, to my surprise, I thought it was far from it. To be clear, I would not call Colin Trevorrow's sequel a good movie. I think it suffers from a pitifully lazy script, sleepy acting, and throwing out the previous film's setup for a dinosaur-ridden dystopia in favor of, echoing Eric Eisenberg's Jurassic World Dominion review, two bland, disparate plotlines that have little to do with, ya know, dinosaurs. However, I do not at all regret watching it and would choose to watch it again over most sequels to Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic, which I realize may come as a shock to many Jurassic fans. Well, allow me to explain… In previous articles of mine, such as my reaction to the recent sci-fi thriller Companion, I have made it clear that I am a staunch technophobe who fears how dangerously technology's advancement could, or already has, affected our society. However, there is one fear of mine that I have been a bit less vocal about in my writing until now: bugs, especially ones of unusual size. So, you might be able to imagine how I felt when the genetically engineered locusts appeared on the screen. Now, I will agree with the widely shared opinion that a Jurassic Park movie focusing its plot on a non-reptilian prehistoric creature is a mistake, but said creatures did manage to get my adrenaline going faster than any of the dinosaurs that appear in Jurassic World Dominion. That being said… Whenever a dinosaur would appear on screen in Dominion, I found it nothing short of impressive. The special effects, boasting the classic blend of practical animatronics with some of the best CGI Hollywood has to offer, were so convincing, I am surprised there was not more praise about that aspect, at least. Aside from their visual effects, I felt that the action sequences involving dinosaurs are genuinely some of the best that the franchise has ever seen. I recall, in particular, being thoroughly riveted by a scene taking place in Malta, when Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) is chased on a motorcycle through the city by Atrociraptors. I had to stop and think to myself, Wow, I am actually having fun with this movie, and it did not stop there. Some have said the extended edition of Jurassic World Dominion is better than the theatrical version, but you can get both on a Blu-ray and 4K UHD set from Amazon for nearly half off the regular price!View Deal The one reason I had to be somewhat optimistic about finally watching Dominion was the one aspect that I had heard positive rumblings about: DeWanda Wise as Kayla Watts. I could not agree more with my colleague Sarah El-Mahmoud that the daredevil pilot is the best character from the Jurassic World trilogy for her bravery and quick wit, and for just being a badass. If there are any downsides to Kayla, I would say that she makes most of the other newer characters (including Mamoudou Athie's Ramsay Cole and even Pratt's Grady) look weaker than I already believed they were, and that she should have been introduced to the franchise earlier. With all due respect to Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, a part of me wishes that she were the focus of the upcoming 2025 movie, Jurassic World Rebirth, instead. Despite my harsh words about the newer Jurassic characters, I have to admit that I really enjoyed seeing them finally interact with Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). In fact, I don't think I was ever amused by the OG heroes' return until that moment, as the parameters of their reunion and the moments the trio shared never felt particularly natural. And don't get me started about the random callbacks to the first film, like Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott) somehow possessing the fake Barbasol canister and displaying it in his office. What?! Anyway, I can't say that 'natural' is a word I would use to describe Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm's meeting with Grady, Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), and others in the final act either. The events that lead them to each other are far too convenient (like many other aspects of the plot), and much of their dialogue feels egregiously forced. Yet, there was something about seeing them all gathered together and relying on one another to survive against the prehistoric wildlife that left me wishing the movie had dedicated more time to bringing them together. Of course, any Jurassic Park fan knows that the real draw of this franchise is not the meat, but the meat-eaters, and the one who rules them all is the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Any return by that big behemoth in these movies, no matter how convoluted the reasoning may be, is warmly welcomed by me, and its appearance in Dominion was no exception, especially since it was not alone. I actually really dug how the T-Rex was treated as a hero, Godzilla style, in the film's final act, when it teams up with a Therizinosaurus to bring down the Giganotosaurus. Watching the T-Rex throw the Giganotosaurus onto the Therizinosaurus' claws, fatally impaling it, made for a more satisfying final battle than the Indominus Rex showdown in 2015's Jurassic World, if you ask me. I don't see a future in which I ever boot up my Peacock subscription to watch Jurassic World Dominion again, unless I get curious and decide to check out the extended edition, which I hear is an improvement. Yet, I can't say I feel that I wasted my morning watching it the other day, which is something I can't say about most of the follow-ups to the original '90s movie classic, and that calls for a modest roar of applause in my book.

'I Don't Want To Sound Woo Woo': Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein Drops An F-Bomb While Explaining Why He Warmed Up To The Idea Of Making Season 4
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. About two years after Ted Lasso's Season 3 finale and the presumed ending of the Apple TV+ comedy, it was announced that the series will indeed be returning. It's unknown when, and we don't know who will be part of it yet, but the fact that Season 4 is actually happening is cause for celebration. For a while, it was hard to tell if another season was possible, but luckily, fans won't have to wonder any longer. Now, Roy Kent himself, Brett Goldstein, is revealing why he eventually warmed up to doing another season, and his explanation obviously included an f-bomb. Not only is Goldstein part of the Ted Lasso cast as Roy Kent, but he is also a writer on the show. So he's part of the team that's making decisions about where this next story will go. Now, while talking about Season 4 of Ted Lasso on Vulture's Good One podcast with Jesse David Fox, the Emmy winner opened up about why he warmed up to the idea of returning to Richmond, saying: I think it's to do with the people and the characters and the actors. You have this plan, but then this world starts to build in front of you, and you fall in love with things you didn't know you'd fall in love with. I don't want to sound woo woo, but I do mean this. You still have to stay open to the signs. You always have a plan, but the plan will change because someone is different and what everyone brings. So yes, we've stuck to that plan, but there's so many new, wonderful things within it, that it's like, 'Oh, we could [do more]. I think, I don't know, do you want to hang out in that world anymore? And if so, it's only worth doing if you're going to do it as well [as you've done] if not better.' For a while, it was assumed that Season 3 of Ted Lasso was it, but even though some stories were wrapped up, it was clear that the door wasn't fully closed, and there was potential for a fourth installment or spinoffs. Not only was there still interest within the cast, but fans probably kept their hopes up, too, that something would happen, no matter how much time had passed. Now, even though not much has been shared about what exactly Ted Lasso Season 4 will consist of, it's clear that there are some exciting ideas churning, and Goldstein dropped an appropriate f-bomb while explaining it: When the idea is there, if you remain open to it and the idea comes, you're like, 'Oh! That's a good one.' But then you're like, 'Fuck! Maybe there is more.' Apple TV Plus: 7-Day Free TrialBELIEVE it, people, you can get Apple TV+ for one week for free, which gives you enough time to binge the first three seasons of Ted Lasso. Then, make sure to keep it around for $9.99 per month so you can watch Season 4 whenever it comes out. View Deal When previously asked about returning for Ted Lasso Season 4, Goldstein used an analogy about a dead cat coming back to life, and it was weirdly fitting. You have to move on, but you still hope and pray that somehow it gets brought back to life because a part of you knows this shouldn't be the end. In the case of the cat, it wasn't dead. And in the case of Ted Lasso, even after saying goodbye, they still returned for another round. Now, the wait for Season 4 could be a long one, but fans have already been waiting for almost two years for news on a fourth season. So, waiting a little bit longer for it to actually come out shouldn't be too painful. Additionally, more news about the new season is expected to be released as they continue developing it, so hopefully, we'll learn more about the cast and the plot sooner rather than later. Ted Lasso continues to be one of the best shows on Apple TV+, so it's not surprising that it's finally coming back. It's unknown when it will eventually return, but for now, fans can watch the first three seasons with an Apple TV+ subscription.
