A time of big ideas (and even bigger phones). There is a lot of retro goodness to be found in looking back on classic Nintendo coverage, and the above 1980s behind-the-scenes peek at Nintendo’s Famicom development has it all. Recently featured in a report by the Yomiuro Telecasting Corporation News Channel, this classic coverage has…
Serial and somewhat hit-and-miss YouTube ‘leak’ channel, Moore’s Law is Dead, has unloaded some technical details and performance expectations for AMD’s upcoming Zen 5 and 6 CPU architectures. The headline takeaway is arguably that it involves more modest performance gains than previous rumours. Just in case you’ve forgotten, AMD’s current Ryzen 7000 CPUs use the…
Lots of Pokémon references. The first ‘Pokémon X Hatsune Miku’ crossover song has been released on YouTube in its entirety, and if you’re a fan of either IP, then you’ll probably want to check it out.

We’re updating and republishing it to mark the game’s arrival in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack GBA library. We have to hand this much to Kirby &…
Friends, I’m beginning to worry that we might not ever see the Knights of the Old Republic remake at all. It may have made a splash at its announcement during a 2021 PlayStation showcase, but it’s been hanging on by a thread ever since a vertical slice demo—meant to show off all the game’s features…
If you’re in the business of creating large language models you might already think Nvidia’s pricing for its H100 super-duper data center GPU, which sells for upwards of $30,000 a pop, is criminally expensive. Now Nvidia’s broader cloud computing operations in France are under actual legal investigation. The Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia’s French…
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for a while now—and if you’re anything like me, finishing your first playthrough left you with the post-completion blues. It’s easy to turn to wishing real hard for DLC under that duress, but I want to warn you: that wish might just see the curl of the displacer beast’s…
