Palworld is a grand adventure where players progress through a huge open world, raising Pals and becoming more effective at crafting and survival. The latter, particularly, is aided by many character progression elements, including Ancient Technology Points. One of the most important resources in the game, players will want to gather as many of these as possible to obtain new unlockables. Here is everything to know about Ancient Technology Points in Palworld. Read on to know more. Also Read: 5 ways Palworld is better than Pokemon Scarlet and Violet What are Ancient Technology Points in Palworld and how to get them? Simply put, there are a few ways to obtain Ancient Technology Points in the game. For the most part, players will obtain them after defeating Alpha bosses (including Bounties) in the overworld and main Tower bosses, both for the first time. Note that while Alphas and Bounties grant only 1 Ancient Technology point, Tower bosses drop 5. Ancient Technology Points are used to unlock handy equipment and structures in the purple nodes under the Technology tab. These include crucial items and tools that cannot be obtained elsewhere, from food pouches to keep Pals fed to unlocking new mining structures and unique gear, like boots that help air-dash or double jump. While bosses can be farmed as many times as desired across the open world since they respawn, players will not be granted Ancient Technology Points after the first fight. Thankfully, there is a workaround: Ancient Technical Manuals. These are a consumable found in Palworld that grants 1 point when used. While they are randomly found in the world, there is a relatively consistent way to farm them: chests that spawn in the Wildlife Sanctuaries and dungeons (such as those on the Sakurajima Island) have a chance to drop Ancient Technical Manuals. Since multiple chests spawn in these areas and reset after a while, players essentially have an infinite way of farming these points. That said, these are mid to late game areas, and visiting the Sanctuary will put a bounty on the players’ heads if spotted on the island by the guards, so some caution is advised.

USC football vs Iowa — live updates, analysis for Week 12 showdown
The USC Trojans face the Iowa Hawkeyes in a crucial matchup as they try to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. While USC’s playoff odds aren’t favorable at this point, the team cannot clinch a berth by beating Iowa. Instead, this game is all about staying in contention for another week and making next week’s trip to Oregon matter.
USC desperately wants to travel to Eugene with the opportunity to face the Ducks in a high-stakes game. It would be a huge letdown for USC football and head coach Lincoln Riley to arrive in the Pacific Northwest with their playoff dreams already dashed, playing for nothing more than pride.
Whether they win or lose in Oregon, USC wants that game to be a main event. At the very least, it would represent positive progress from last season when the Trojans were already playing out the string by this point in the schedule. For USC, playing for something big in late November—even if the ultimate goal isn’t achieved—would be a forward-moving development for the football program as it looks ahead to 2026.
Follow along as we cover USC vs. Iowa live from a wet Los Angeles Coliseum.

Tonight on The Stevetendo Show, we’re jumping back into the vastness of space for *Super Mario Galaxy 2*. I hope everyone had a nice Halloween and didn’t get scared too much!
During our last *Super Mario Galaxy 2* playthrough, we boarded the spaceship that looked like a giant Mario head, primed for adventure. We grabbed all the stars we could in the first world and secured the first Grand Star.
For those who aren’t familiar, Grand Stars are earned by defeating bosses at the end of each world. These Grand Stars unlock the path to the next world and help advance the story. Our first boss encounter was Gobblegut—a bit of a challenge—but we managed to defeat him and move forward. Only time will tell if this playthrough will be a 100% run or not!
Set to go live at 6 p.m. PDT / 9 p.m. EDT, join The Stevetendo Show tonight for more *Super Mario Galaxy 2* gameplay. Shackers who want to join the fun can head over to the Shacknews Twitch channel, where The Stevetendo Show streams every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Rangers’ Mike Sullivan calls out defense after backbreaking Flames loss
The New York Rangers hired Mike Sullivan with the goal of turning the team around after failing to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the 2024-25 season. It was a messy year both on and off the ice, and the organization hoped that a new voice in the locker room would bring fresh direction and energy. However, so far, the results have not been promising.
One of the key challenges for the Rangers this season has been their struggle to score goals at home. More recently, their performance on the road has also taken a hit. In a disappointing outing, New York lost to the struggling Calgary Flames by a 5-1 margin. The game was far from pretty, as the Rangers failed to contain Calgary in any area of the ice.
Pinpointing the exact reason for New York’s ongoing struggles is difficult. Nevertheless, Coach Mike Sullivan believes he understands the root cause. Following the crushing road loss to the Flames on Sunday, he took time to call out his team’s effort on defense.
“We’re not at our best right now, and we’ve got to find a way to dig our way out of it,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan explained that the drop in defensive performance did not happen overnight. Instead, it has been a gradual decline over time. He referenced earlier points in the season when the Rangers played solid defensive hockey, which kept them competitive in games.
“I thought for a lot of this year, we had done a real good job at controlling the defensive side of the puck and limiting not only the quality of chances but the quantity of chances. I thought tonight, the types of mistakes we made, they’re egregious.”
On paper, New York certainly has the talent to succeed. However, Sullivan emphasized that games are not won on paper alone. The team must find a way to climb out of their current hole.
The Rangers will take the ice again on Tuesday night, aiming to avoid a fourth straight loss as they look to turn their season around.
