What Does Range Partitioning Mean? Range partitioning is a type of relational database partitioning wherein the partition is based on a predefined range for a specific data field such as uniquely numbered IDs, dates or simple values like currency. A partitioning key column is assigned with a specific range, and when a data entry fits this range, it is assigned to this partition; otherwise it is placed in another partition where it fits....
Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated games in recent memory, but its launch was a major disappointment for many eager fan. There’s a lot of contention about how much Cyberpunk did or didn’t live up to the hype, but player experience also varies wildly depending on what platform it is played on, with consoles receiving the brunt of the issues at launch. However, CD Projekt Red’s history with previous games indicates that there is a lot more to come in 2021 that may make good on fans’ initial trust in it....
2020 was a challenging year for so many, not just video game studios. The COVID-19 pandemic swept through the globe, forcing people to work from home and adding a new layer of challenge for individuals to overcome. For game studios like Bungie who are typically united under one roof, this meant that the Destiny 2 team would have to chart a new course through virtual meetings rather than in house ones....

This decade has seen some RPGs move forward in leaps and bounds. As RPG fans approach the end of the current generation of consoles, however, many feel that the genre has stagnated somewhat over the last few years. For example, once acclaimed developers like Bethesda and BioWare have released games that did not match the critical success of their previous titles. With some extremely anticipated titles like Cyberpunk 2077 coming up this year and new competitors entering the ring, it remains to be seen which studios will flop and which will fly on the PS5 and Xbox Series X....
Magikarp is a beloved Pokémon, despite (or because of) it’s lack of prowess on the battlefield. Magikarp’s most famous move would become more and more confusing with each new generation of Pokémon video games, due to a mistranslation that happened during the Pokémon Red & Blue era. Magikarp had one of the first signature moves in the series, in the form of Splash. The point of Splash is that it’s a joke move that deals no damage, which ties into Magikarp being one of the most useless Pokémon in the series....
Pinhead isn’t Pinhead. Any Clive Barker fan will be quick to point out that the iconic character from the beloved adaptation of the novel The Hellbound Heart is credited as Lead Cenobite, and known in the fiction as “the Priest,” a devotee of a dark, arcane religion. But in an era of gimmicky slashers like Freddy, Leatherface, and Jason, the Priest needed a catchier sobriquet, and so he was dubbed Pinhead, much to Barker’s chagrin....
The past decade has been a renaissance for the horror video game genre, with the most damning proof being the huge success that was Resident Evil 7. Resident Evil 7 returned horror’s biggest franchise to its roots after a few action-oriented outings, delivering a game that not only earned critical acclaim, but now enjoys the distinction of being the best-selling Resident Evil game ever. Many other horror titles have found a great deal of success in the past decade as well, and it looks like that momentum is going to continue into the new generation of consoles....
Not everyone has the means to own multiple gaming platforms at once (which is honestly the leading contributor to the sales race commonly known as the “console wars“), so most of us end up having to make a pretty difficult choice between our next-gen console options.
