Garena Free Fire: All you need to know about new character, Wolfrahh

When it comes to Garena Free Fire, choosing the right character is sometimes just as difficult picking the right dropzones. The right character not only looks cool but also augments the players’ natural playstyle by adding passive abilities. This would explain why Garena Free Fire offers so many choices. In fact, Garena Free Fire has just added a brand new character called Wolfrahh. Here’s a quick look at what the new character has to offer.

Backstory

Wolfrahh is said to be a 19-year old Swedish video game streamer and esports players. Considering the popularity of game streaming, it was high time a game added a playable game streamer. As a streamer, the character revels in the limelight. Incidentally, Limelight is the name of his in-game ability. 

In-game skill

As per the game’s description, Limelight decreases damage taken from headshots, while increasing the damage dealt to an opponents limbs. For every kill, the player makes as well as every other player that becomes an observer, it decreases the headshot damage taken as well as increases the enemy limb damage. Each kill that a player makes, or the first observer that the player gets decreases headshot damage by 3% up to 25%. Similarly, the damage inflicted to an enemy’s limbs is increased by 3% up to 15%. 

Strategy

Wolfrahh’s Limelight ability makes him a very good choice for those who tend to be in the thick of things. If you are an aggressive player who likes to make hot drops then Wolfrahh might be just what you need as you should racking up the kill count. It should be noted that each kill does improve your chances of getting another kill. So you may want to consider whacking every person you come across.

How to get Wolfrahh

Players can get Wolfrahh for free. Every day, players will get one free spin daily. If you are lucky, you should be able to unlock the character soon. However, it should be noted that players need to update the game with the OB22 Patch. The patch was released recently and should be available to all players by now.

Reverie launches Anuvadak, a new platform to publish websites in Indic languages

The literacy rate in India is 70 percent, and out of these 90 percent are literate only in local languages. These vernacular language speakers do not just live in tier-II and tier-III cities, but also in the metropolitan cities. The untapped market is both urban and rural. Most websites are either in English, or at most Hindi, and right now, a web presence is necessary for every business or organisation. To reach the 536 million Indian language users, it is necessary for websites to be in local languages as well, but localisation is an expensive and time consuming process. To help publishers reach into this untapped USD 500 million market, Bengaluru based Reverie has come up with a new product, a platform called Anuvadak. At the launch, Arvind Pani, CEO and co-founder of Reverie said, “As we emphasize on Vocal About Local, it is imperative that businesses are empowered with the right tools to reach out to Bharat. Anuvadak is one such endeavor to tap into the potential 536 million Indian-language internet users. As Reverie strives to build an internet for India, Anuvadak will go a long way in building an inclusive internet.”

The whole process of publishing, updating and maintaining a website in multiple Indic languages has been streamlined and simplified to a single dashboard. Additionally, the SEO tools are built in, and the platform is modular so it can support third party technologies and APIs for websites, as well as Reverie’s own products. “Anuvadak uses Reverie APIs but also offers choices to use other tools as prefered by users,” Pani said. From within the platform, businesses can opt for using Reverie’s machine translation services. For those entities that want to use the superior quality localisation that results from human translators, Reverie’s platform provides that as well. Users can opt for either machine translation and human translation, all of which is hosted on a single server as a multilingual website. It is flexible enough to fit the requirements of the publisher. 

A screenshot of the dashboard

As and when new content is added, it is reflected in the localised versions after translation. To ensure consistency of style and design across the versions, Reverie offers its specialised fonts which preserve the look and feel of the website across Indic languages. These fonts are made for screens, and are legible across different sizes. For editing content, Reverie also offers its Swalekh keyboard, which simplified cursor movement and text entry natively in Indic languages. The additional advantage offered by Anuvadak is that there is SEO optimisation built in to the platform, which means that all the content is SEOd in the local languages. From the dashboard, publishers can dive into any part of the website, and instantly make changes or tweaks in any of the Indian languages. Anuvadak is being offered as a subscription service, with pricing details to be announced soon.

Sega Game Gear Micro is a new teeny-tiny version of the classic handheld

Do you remember the Sega Game Gear? Of course, you don’t, hardly anyone does in India. Especially as it was up against the mightly Nintendo Game Boy which became one of the best selling game consoles of all time. However, the Sega Game Gear did pack a lot of neat tech for the time. For starters, it packed a full-colour screen that made the monochrome screen on the Gameboy look dated. It also packed a decent game library thanks to titles like Sonic, Shinobi and Outrun. As such, it has garnered a bit of a cult following. Keeping this in mind, Sega has just released a much, MUCH smaller version of the Game Gear called the Sega Game Gear Micro. The new device celebrates the 60th anniversary of the company. 

The Sega Game Gear Micro is available in four colour variants and each of those variants come with four playable games. The Black model comes with Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo 2, Outrun, and Royal Stone. The Blue version comes with Sonic Chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Sylvan Tale, and Baku Baku Animal. The Yellow variant packs Shining Force Gaiden: Ensei – Jashin no Kuni he, Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya, Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict, and Nazopuyo Aruru no Roux. Finally, the Red version features Revelations: The Demon Slayer, Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special, The GG Shinobi, and Columns. 

The term micro is apt as it measures 80x43x20mm and packs a 1.15-inch display. By comparison, the Apple Watch Series 5 has a 1.78-inch display. If you think that the console is quite tiny, you’re not alone. Which would explain why Sega also packs a special attachment for those who purchase all four consoles. The attachment is essentially a magnifying glass that clips on the Game Gear Micro.

The Sega Game Gear is priced at 4,980 Yen, which is about Rs 3,400. The device is scheduled to launch in Japan in October this year. However, it is not yet known if the company plans to release an international version of the device.
