Malenia Kills 10 Elden Ring Players Every Second

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is not the final boss of Elden Ring, but she might as well be. Yesterday, Bandai Namco released an infographic confirming that Malenia is the Elden Ring boss that players have struggled against the most with 329 million attempts on her life since the Game’s release. And according to one Redditor’s math, that number amounts to Malenia killing ten Tarnished every second.

It’s not too hard to follow along with user 20mgAddy calculation. There are roughly 32 million seconds in a year, so divide 329 million attempts by 32 million, and you get a little over 10 attempts per second. And we can assume the majority of those attempts are unsuccessful, ergo a dead Tarnished.

Ah, but some of those attempts don’t result in a dead Tarnished and instead end with Malenia being defeated. We can work out just how many attempts result in a Tarnished victory thanks to Steam’s achievements and Bandai Namco’s own numbers. We know that 34.6 percent of all Steam players have defeated Malenia at least once because of the associated achievement, and we know there have been 20 million Elden Rings sold across all platforms. Assuming the rate at which players defeat Malenia remains the same across all platforms, and assuming that the number of Tarnished that replay the Game and defeat Malenia again is vanishingly small, that works out to 6.92 million Malenia kills. That’s a success rate of roughly two percent.

So we can subtract the successful Malenia kills from the total attempts, and we wind up with 322 million dead Tarnished. And that still works out to roughly 10 dead Tarnished every second.

There are a bunch of other interesting stats in the infographic, like how the most used spell in Elden Ring is Rock Sling for its efficient MP cost, excellent range, and ability to deal physical damage instead of magic damage. Also, just two percent of Tarnished are killed by other Tarnished, while 14 percent of Tarnished die by falling. So it’s cliffs that are the true Recusants after all.

Researchers find potentially dangerous bacteria on smartwatch wristbands

Researchers have found cloth, plastic and rubber smart watch wristbands can create ideal environments for bacteria linked to staph infections and E.coli. The study from Florida Atlantic University analysed 20 smartwatch wristbands worn by a mix of men and women made of materials like metal, leather, plastic, cloth and rubber. They found near all the bands were contaminated, but those made of metals such as gold or silver harboured little to no bacteria. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Meanwhile, wristbands made of cloth had the most bacteria, followed by those made of plastic and rubber. In the study, published in the journal of Advances in Infectious Diseases, researchers said it was because “porous and static surfaces tend to attract and be colonised by bacteria”. The researchers found common bacteria on the bands was linked to very contagious staph infections, E.coli, which can cause food poisoning or pneumonia, as well as pseudomonas aeru

Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian troops have started their long-expected counteroffensive KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses. His comments came just hours after a string of drone strikes inside Russian territory. It was Putin's latest effort to shape the gut-wrenching narrative of the invasion he ordered more than 15 months ago, sparking widespread international condemnation and reviving Cold War-style tensions. The conflict entered a complex new phase this week with the rupture of a Dnieper River dam that sent floodwaters gushing through a large swath of the front in southern Ukraine. Tens of thousands of civilians already facing the misery of regular shelling fled for higher ground on both sides of the swollen and sprawling waterway. Kyiv has played down talk of a counteroffensive, reasoning that the less said about its military

Chelsea make the most expensive substitution in football history against Brighton

The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling - and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club's cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the Blues went in search of a winner against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. How the Blues were even level by the time the fourth official's board lit up was a mystery given Brighton's dominance on the ball and in both boxes. Roberto De Zerbi's side continued to play the intoxicating fluid football which has steered the Seagulls to seventh place, rattling off 20 sho
