As of now, there is no verified public report confirming that the QA Workers Union has reached a tentative deal with Microsoft after nearly two years of negotiations. While there have been significant developments in the labor movement involving Microsoft contractors—particularly those employed through third-party agencies like Accenture, Appen, and others—no official announcement from the union, Microsoft, or reputable news sources confirms a finalized or tentative agreement.
However, it's important to note:
QA Workers Union (QA Workers Union, affiliated with the Communications Workers of America – CWA) has been active in advocating for better pay, benefits, and working conditions for quality assurance (QA) workers who perform contract work for tech giants, including Microsoft.
In recent years, several QA workers in the U.S. and India have organized and sought union recognition, citing concerns over job security, low pay, and lack of benefits.
Microsoft has not directly employed many of these QA workers; instead, they are contracted through third-party vendors. This complicates unionization efforts, as the legal responsibility for employment is often contested.
If a tentative deal were to be announced, it would likely involve:
Recognition of the union by Microsoft (or a key vendor)
Improved wages and benefits
Clearer pathways for contract workers to transition to direct employment
Protections against arbitrary termination
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it’s recommended to monitor official sources such as:
The CWA website (https://www.cwau.org)
Microsoft’s official press releases
Reputable news outlets like The Verge, Bloomberg, or Reuters
Please verify any claim of a "tentative deal" with a reliable, current source, as this topic is highly sensitive and subject to misinformation.

Certainly! Here's a comprehensive Stat and Aura Guide for Abyss's Chosen Heirs — a powerful and thematic team of characters from Genshin Impact (primarily from the Sumeru and Abyss narrative arcs). While "Abyss's Chosen Heirs" isn't an official team name, it's a popular fan designation for the strongest Sumeru-based Abyss members, especially Sangonomiya Kokomi, Yanfei, Tighnari, and Alhaitham, who are often seen as the elite vessels of the Abyss’ philosophies and power.
This guide focuses on optimal stats, substats, and aura (elemental/resonance) synergies to maximize their potential in both Story Mode and Endgame (S+ or S++ builds).
🌿 Abyss’s Chosen Heirs – Core Team Composition

Main DPS
Justice, Fire of Truth
Tighnari

Abyss Doctrine, Intellectual Power
🌑 Abyss Theme: Knowledge, Control, Enlightenment through Power. They represent the "chosen" — not just powerful, but philosophically aligned with the Abyss's vision.
🎯 Core Aura (Resonance) Synergies
The key to unlocking the full potential of this team lies in elemental resonance and synergy. The ideal aura setup is:
🔥 Pyro + Dendro + Hydro → "Crimson Requiem" (Dendro Reaction Chain)
Tighnari (Dendro) + Yanfei (Pyro) = Overloaded / Vaporize / Burning (early game)
Kokomi (Hydro) = Burning (Dendro + Pyro), Swirl (Hydro + Dendro), Bloom/Quicken (for control)
Alhaitham (Dendro) = Sustained Dendro Application → Quicken/Spread → Ethereal Decimation
✅ Best Resonance: Dendro Resonance: "Abyssal Enlightenment"
+20% Dendro DMG
20% Dendro RES Down to enemies
Passive: Dendro DMG increases when enemy has Dendro status (critical for Alhaitham)
✅ Secondary Resonance: Pyro Resonance: "Searing Flame" (for Yanfei)
+20% Pyro DMG
20% Pyro DMG on burning enemies
✅ Hydro Resonance: "Tide of Wisdom" (for Kokomi)
+20% Hydro DMG
20% Hydro DMG on wet enemies
🔥 Aura Synergy: Dendro → Pyro → Hydro → Dendro (repeat)
Use Tighnari → Yanfei → Kokomi → Alhaitham in rotation to maximize burning, Vaporize, Quicken, and Decimation.
📊 Optimal Stat Priorities by Character
1. Sangonomiya Kokomi (Hydro Support / Sub-DPS)
Main Stat: Hydro DMG% (on weapon & artifact)
Substats (Prioritized):
Hydro DMG% (Best)
Energy Recharge (ER%) → 180% ER (for fast burst use)
HP% or DEF% (if using for durability)
Crit Rate / Crit DMG (if going full DPS)
Best Artifacts:
Nymph's Dream (4pc): +45% Hydro DMG, +20% Hydro DMG on soaked enemies
Oceanid (4pc): +45% Hydro DMG, +20% Hydro DMG on wet enemies
Sands: Hydro DMG%
Goblet: Hydro DMG%
Circlet: Hydro DMG% or Energy Recharge%
Optional: 10% ER per 30% ER (if not using 100% ER on her)
💡 Tip: Use Kokomi as a Hydro application to trigger Vaporize and Burning. Use her Talent 2 (Tide of Justice) to trigger Hydro application on all enemies.
2. Yanfei (Pyro DPS / Main Damage Dealer)
Main Stat: Pyro DMG% (on weapon and artifact)
Substats (Prioritized):
Pyro DMG% (highest priority)
Crit Rate → 75%+ (for burst)
Crit DMG → 150%+ (after crit rate)
ATK% or Energy Recharge% (if needed)
Best Artifacts:
Troupe of the Embers (4pc): +30% Pyro DMG, +20% Pyro DMG on burning enemies
Emblem of Severed Fate (4pc): +30% Pyro DMG, +20% DMG to enemies with Dendro, Pyro, or Electro
Sands: Pyro DMG% or ATK%
Goblet: Pyro DMG%
Circlet: Crit Rate → Crit DMG (after 75% CR)
💡 Tip: Use Yanfei’s Burst (Truth of the Law) on burning enemies for massive Vaporize damage. Pair with Tighnari’s Dendro application to keep enemies burning.
3. Tighnari (Dendro DPS / Reaction Controller)
Main Stat: Dendro DMG% (on weapon and artifact)
Substats (Prioritized):
Dendro DMG%
Energy Recharge% → 180% ER (for consistent burst)
Crit Rate → 75%+
Crit DMG → 150%+
Best Artifacts:
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (4pc): +20% Dendro DMG, +20% Dendro DMG on full stacks
Crimson Witch of Flames (4pc): +15% Pyro DMG, +20% Pyro DMG on burning enemies (if using with Yanfei)
Sands: Dendro DMG%
Goblet: Dendro DMG%
Circlet: Crit Rate → Crit DMG
💡 Tip: Use Tighnari’s Elemental Skill (Stellar Illumination) to apply Dendro and trigger Burning. Use Burst (Stellar Echoes) to apply Dendro and ignite enemies.
4. Alhaitham (Dendro Burst DPS / Decimation Focus)
Main Stat: Dendro DMG% (on weapon and artifact)
Substats (Prioritized):
Dendro DMG%
Crit Rate → 75%+
Crit DMG → 150%+
Energy Recharge% → 180% ER (if not using sustain)
Best Artifacts:
Crimson Witch of Flames (4pc): +15% Pyro DMG, +20% Pyro DMG on burning enemies
Nymph’s Dream (4pc): +45% Hydro DMG, +20% Hydro DMG on soaked enemies
Sands: Dendro DMG%
Goblet: Dendro DMG%
Circlet: Crit Rate → Crit DMG
💡 Tip: Alhaitham’s Burst (Decimation: Aeon of the Abyss) triggers Decimation: Dendro DMG doubles if enemy has Dendro status. Use Tighnari or Alhaitham himself to apply Dendro before burst.
⚠️ Key: Alhaitham must have Dendro status on enemy to activate Decimation (double DMG). Use Tighnari’s skill or Alhaitham’s skill to apply Dendro first.
🔥 Team Rotation & Aura Flow (Best Practice)
Tighnari uses Elemental Skill (Dendro application) → enemy now has Dendro.
Kokomi uses Elemental Skill (Hydro application) → enemy now has Wet + Dendro → Burning starts.
Yanfei uses Burst (on burning enemy) → Vaporize (massive damage).
Alhaitham uses Burst (on enemy with Dendro status) → Decimation activated → Dendro DMG doubled.
✅ Result: Burning + Vaporize + Decimation = Massive AoE damage in 1–2 seconds.
🧠 Philosophical Aura (Thematic Bonus)
“The Abyss does not seek to destroy — it seeks to enlighten through truth and power.”
Tighnari = Knowledge
Yanfei = Justice
Kokomi = Authority
Alhaitham = Absolute Power
🌱 Thematic Resonance: When all 4 are on, they represent The Four Pillars of the Abyss — not evil, but uncompromising in their pursuit of truth through force.
✅ Final Tips for Maximum Efficiency
Use Alhaitham’s Decimation only on enemies with Dendro status (stacked via Tighnari or Alhaitham’s skill).
Stack Energy Recharge% on Kokomi and Tighnari to maximize fast burst use.
Use 4pc Crimson Witch of Flames for Pyro/Dendro synergy (if Yanfei is main DPS).
Use 4pc Shimenawa’s Reminiscence for Tighnari if going for Dendro control.
Use 4pc Nymph’s Dream for Kokomi if using Hydro for Swirls.

As of now, there is no official confirmation from Bethesda or any major developer that a remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is being developed—let alone one that embraces a "Soulslike" style. However, rumors and fan speculation have circulated online, particularly on platforms like Reddit, YouTube, and gaming forums, suggesting that a potential Oblivion remake might adopt mechanics inspired by the Dark Souls series—such as punishing difficulty, environmental storytelling, intricate level design, and deliberate pacing.
These rumors often stem from:
Fan desire for a modernized Oblivion experience with updated graphics, mechanics, and world design.
The success of Soulslike games and their influence on modern RPGs (e.g., Elden Ring, Dragon's Dogma, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom).
Rumors about Bethesda exploring new directions for classic franchises, including potential use of the Creation Engine 2 (or a new engine) for remastered titles.
That said, Bethesda has not announced any remake of Oblivion, and official sources have not confirmed a Soulslike approach. In fact, Bethesda’s recent focus has been on The Elder Scrolls VI, which is still in development and expected to take years to complete.
In summary:
Unconfirmed: There is no official report of an Oblivion remake, let alone one adopting Soulslike elements.
Fan Hypothesis: The idea likely comes from fan-driven speculation and a desire for a more challenging, atmospheric reboot of a beloved classic.
Reality Check: Bethesda’s design philosophy has traditionally leaned toward open-world exploration and player freedom—more akin to Skyrim than Dark Souls.
Until an official announcement is made, any talk of a Soulslike Oblivion remake remains speculative and part of the broader gaming community’s imagination.
