Electronic Arts says thanks and farewell in a new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard that sounds very much like it will be the last. “Thank you all for playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard; we were so happy with the game’s stability at launch and hope you have enjoyed our Quality of Life patches since…
One of last year’s biggest pleasant surprises was Judero, a surreal little adventure by a two-man team whose art consisted entirely of action figures and other handmade, physical objects digitized as sprites and textures or animated in stop-motion cutscenes. Developer Talha & Jack Co. is already working on what’s next: Mashina. “A little robot digs…
My fellow gamer husband will always have me beat on two metrics: KDR, because I’m awful at shooters, and DPS—which I’m temporarily repurposing to mean Decibels Per Second. The man’s loud on an average night in the Discord call and louder still on Rainbow Six Siege nights. I’m accustomed to sleeping through the antics of…
Yoshi or Nabbit, make your choice. I suspect many of my fellow parents can relate to this, but when you have your first child, a whole bevvy of problems that never existed before are suddenly thrust upon you. “Do we have enough nappies?” Read the full article on nintendolife.com
The last mainline Dynasty Warriors game I played is so old that it could buy me a drink, but I still remembered the five immortal words uttered by ardent fans when I booted up Dynasty Warriors: Origins: Do not pursue Lu Bu.

With the Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launching next week, many potential buyers have been eyeing up the more budget-oriented (okay, they’re still going to be quite expensive) cards from the 50 series and we could potentially get them as soon as February 20. However, as always before the launch of a major card,…
It’s difficult to get excited about slightly older external SSDs, but sometimes they can surprise you—the Crucial X9, for instance, certainly surprised me with its consistent performance and low price tag. Unfortunately, the SE880 is not such a pleasant surprise. It’s fine for what it is, but “fine” is all, and there are better options…
Marginally less inevitable than the relentless march of cosmic entropy and ensuing heat death of the universe is the near-certainty that scalpers will try to make a quick buck on the latest high-end GPU from Nvidia. Enter the imminent RTX 5090 and eBay listings of up to $7,000. Of course, in theory, none of the…
I’m getting a little tired of our deep-learning future, folks. While generative AI and deep learning technology isn’t inherently bad—it’s being used for folding proteins and advancing medical science, for example—the routine doling-out of slop has everyone paranoid, content trawlers are scraping through the web sucking up everything in sight, and an endless parade of…
For those who love the idea of a Mini-ITX PC but think it might be a pain to build (yours truly included), how about the Geometric Future Model O Flamingo? Aside from being charmingly named, Geometric Future says this is a ‘backpack class’ case design that doesn’t just look pretty on the outside but folds…
