Shared by Serebii, Morpeko’s First Outing is the first episode of a new series called Pokémon Summer Stories, which we can only imagine are cute…
I love graphics cards. They’re absolutely my favourite PC component. That’s not a hot take; I’m a simple man and thing-makes-pretty-pictures-flow-faster-in-front-of-eyes is an easy thing to become obsessed with. And I’ve had a long time to get nerdy with them, too, having built my first PC in the early ’90s and been professionally testing PC…

What the 4K? Remember all of the confusion around whether the Switch 2 supports VRR? One moment, it did both docked and handheld, before Nintendo started removing wording surrounding docked VRR from websites and then apologised “for the error”.

I’ve played Marvel Rivals almost every day since launch, and while I’m far from the best, most consistent player, I’ve hovered around the Grandmaster regions in competitive, peaking at Celestial 2. At times, trying to take Rivals seriously and play competitively has been an act of self-targeted psychic damage, largely because the hero balance has…
Having begun work on it sometime after the domestication of rice, the heroic mad lads over at OpenMW—the open-source engine reimplementation for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that lets you play it with a minimum of fuss on pretty much any modern OS—have finally released its much-anticipated 0.49 update.
