It’s the 21st century, which means—er, well, all sorts of existential horrors. But it also means that the media landscape, a term I typically shudder to use but is genuinely applicable here, has changed. A lot of the younger generations get their news from social media and streaming platforms, including online personalities—and archetypically, the government…
In a tale as old as Blackwell, Nvidia has managed to make it through yet another quarterly report with nary a mention of gaming. Well, okay, there was one mention of gaming, but that was basically just to say it’s now being considered subsumed under—you guessed it—an AI segment of the business. Along with the…
“An all-new action platformer with dungeon exploration elements”. Nalua Studio is releasing a new Neo Geo game called Necro Pop, which has been “built from the ground up” for SNK’s classic system.

Along with some odd AI-generated promotional images… Earlier this week, a new AYANEO handheld leaked called the Pocket Block.

Week two of Overwatch’s 10-year anniversary celebrations kicked off with more challenges, loot boxes, and a gamemode for us to try out. Instead of the OG mode that players got to check out last week, this time we’ve got a play on Mystery Heroes, the mode where each player gets a random hero when they…
AMD has announced that its first 2 nm CPUs are now in production. It’s a server chip, inevitably, but it bodes well for upcoming PC processors. Meanwhile, Intel has mentioned possible future 10A and 7A nodes for the first time. Maybe Moore’s Law ain’t dead, after all. “AMD today announced that its next-generation AMD EPYC…
