iOS and iPadOS 14 Released September 16, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Apple has just released an enormous update bringing everything from widgets to improved Apple Pencil support (on iPad). The new version, iOS and iPadOS 14, is compatible with recent Apple devices going as far back as at least the iPhone 7.
To install the new update, it can be downloaded through your device’s software update feature (in the settings app) or through iTunes. Just be aware you’re going to need to free up a LOT of space. We clocked this one in at around 2.5GB, and that’s even if you already have the most recent OS previously installed.
Yesterday I made a proclamation not to upgrade if you play Pokémon Go. If you do, you can upgrade now, the issue with the app running on 14 has been fixed. Just make sure to update your Pokémon Go app to its latest version before or after upgrading iOS or iPadOS 14.

What Dice Bag is Right For You? September 16, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
We are going back to tabletop this morning. New Dungeons & Dragons players should know that it’s a good idea to have their own dice when they play the game with their friends. However, it’s not a good idea to just have loose dice, they can easily get lost or damaged. Instead, it’s a good idea to (obviously) keep your dice in a bag.
But what kind of dice bags are out there and what kind of bag is right for you? We have some examples of the different kinds of dice bags you can find in hobby shops and online. Some of these things you can find anywhere, some are pretty rare and very well may be one of a kind. Let’s take a look. Enjoy this video shot in glorious 4K.
Niantic Confirms Pokemon Go Will Not Support iOS14 at Launch (Updating) September 15, 2020
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
UPDATE2: Niantic has made an announcement that the very recently released Pokémon Go update is compatible with iOS14. That means players can update their devices when it goes live later today.
I wanted to give everyone here a big heads up. If you are a Apple owner who plays Pokémon Go, DO NOT INSTALL iOS 14 WHEN IT LAUNCHES TOMORROW!
This was a known issue since the iOS 14 beta launched back in June. Apparently Niantic hasn’t had enough time to make their app compatible with the new OS now that is is coming out of the testing phase. They said a new version of the app is coming that will support iOS 14, but it will not be ready when the OS launches. We will update this article when a compatible version of Pokémon Go is released.
UPDATE1: The App Store has very quickly released a new version of Pokémon Go. The internal app information confirms the new app is version 187, the same version Niantic said would be iOS 14 compatible. However at this time I cannot rescind this recommendation since Niantic has not yet officially commented on this event. It is VERY likely Apple fast tracked the app’s release after Niantic posted their warning on Twitter but I can’t confirm that.
If either Niantic publishes an official statement saying its “all good” or I can personally confirm Pokémon Go works on iOS 14 tomorrow I will post an “all clear” update”. However I do not yet recommend upgrading to iOS 14 yet.
UPDATE2: Beta testers of iOS14 are claiming the app works now. I personally cannot confirm compatibility as of yet and Niantic has not made an official announcement but things look promising. More updates to come.
