With so much of our personal and professional lives stored in the cloud, it’s easy to forget just how fragile these systems can be. Don’t misunderstand, I enjoy the convenience of my important files being accessible from almost anywhere—but I back up the really important stuff at least twice on physical media nowhere near the…
Josh Sawyer has been making games professionally for 26 years. What started as a hobby, making and playing tabletop RPGs, has grown into a storied career. Sawyer had his first position in 1999 working at Black Isle Studios, and now serves as studio design director at Obsidian, where he led development on games like Fallout:…
Classic RPGs make up some of the most formative examples of late ’90s to early 2000s PC gaming in my memory, but I also remember when they weirdly disappeared. If you loved games like the original Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or Planescape, and also wondered why we stopped seeing these kinds of titles for a…
I thought I’d heard every bit of corpo-speak going at this point in my career, but apparently I was wrong. AI code review platform Graphite has published a blog detailing its use of “dogfooding” to help develop its onboarding process, a particularly ugly term that apparently equates to “being forced to eat your own dogfood”….
I don’t know why, but there’s nothing more tactical and cool than an MP5, and in Battlefield 6, that’s the PW5A3. Not to be confused with the much faster firing PW7A2, based on the MP7, the best BF6 PW5A3 loadout is just a tad slower and more methodical. The PW5A3 is certainly a strong early…
Remember when earning coins in a game meant collecting shiny gold rings as Sonic or jumping on Goombas in Super Mario Bros.? Back then, “in-game currency” was simple. It was a fun little reward for playing well. Today, gaming economies have become full-blown ecosystems. They are complete with real money, virtual markets, and, in some…
Battlefield 6 has a whopping 45 weapons to unlock across all its categories (including sidearms), so you’re spoilt for choice—plus, they can be used on any class in standard Open Weapons playlists. It’s a big improvement over the measly launch offerings of BF1, BF5, and BF2042, and it makes progression significantly more rewarding. With so…

The L110 is the starter LMG (or light machine gun) in Battlefield 6, and as you’d expect, it’s capable of spitting out an absolute storm of bullets before having to reload. The best BF6 L110 loadout is all about trying to control that torrent of projectiles, shackling the gun with some recoil control, while trying…
It doesn’t look like it at first glance (it’s just a renamed MP7), but the PW7A2 is one of the weirder weapons in Battlefield 6. It’s got a blazingly fast 947RPM fire rate, making it one of the fastest-firing weapons in the game, and yet it has virtually no recoil. Seriously. The best BF6 PW7A2…
