There are a lot of ways to upset or irritate your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, some of which are beyond my comprehension. I swear sometimes Lae’zel gets mad at me just for breathing wrong, and choices I think will satiate everyone often backfire. But what about the most distressing, devastating choices that will really…
Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you multiclass—opening the floodgates to a lot of min-maxing nonsense. In case you’re a single-class devotee (or just haven’t played the game yet), multiclassing means “taking levels” in several different classes.

Sigh. Guess it’s time to open up my wallet and pray to the RNG gods because mobile gacha game Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is making its way over to Steam.

No safe haven here. As anyone who plays board games (or with friends who like board games) can attest, an involved, TTRPG-style board game can be cumbersome.

Dazed and Confused is one of the many side gigs you can pick up in the new Cyberpunk 2077 expansion, Phantom Liberty. You can access it once you’ve followed the main story quest and met Mr Hands in person. You’ll get a call from the fixer, asking you to locate Lina Malina, an actress who…
Does anybody really need a 27-inch, 4K esports gaming monitor? 1080p and 1440p are the preferred resolutions for pros, and for good reason. For starters, it’s relatively inexpensive to drive games at those resolutions at framerates exceeding 240 fps which is needed to successfully compete.
