Handheld fans rejoice. As much as the Switch 2 improved upon its predecessor in terms of design and comfort, it’s still plagued by Joy-Con controllers that, for me at least, feel far too dinky when held. It might be my age talking, but using the console in handheld mode has caused occasional pain in my…
Coining it. Once upon a time, the arcade was where you went if you wanted to sample the very latest in video game technology and design, but those days are sadly long gone. Home gaming tech has surpassed arcades in processing power for decades, and the market for coin-ops has been shrinking with each passing…
While Windows has represented my go-to operating system more often than not, that doesn’t mean I especially like using it. Microsoft appears to be all too aware of begrudging use cases such as my own, as it’s recently committed to making all things Windows 11 ‘better‘.

Biomods are effectively your skills in Subnautica 2. Some are active effects, like dashing to avoid predators or producing a jolt of electricity, but most of them are passive buffs that go a long way in making life under the waves easier. You’ll have access to only a handful of Biomods at the start of…
Special delivery! Remember that incredible Pokémon anime short from studio CoMix Wave Films early last year? Well, it’s finally been dubbed for western audiences. Yes, Pokémon: Dragonite and the Special Delivery is now available for free over on YouTube, clocking in at just under 14 minutes in length. The new dub is pretty decent too,…
International police organisation Interpol has announced the arrest of 201 individuals as part of “Operation Ramz“, a multinational effort to target phishing operations, malware threats, and “cyber scams” in the Middle East and North Africa region. The “first of its kind” operation involved the participation of 13 countries and resulted in the seizure of 53…
Roll with it. RMG-K, a fork of the RMG Nintendo 64 emulator, has been updated to support rollback netcode (thanks, PC Gamer and Kotaku). In case you’re wondering what the fuss is about, rollback netcode is transformative for online play, as it predicts which inputs are likely to come next and “rolls back” should the…
If you’re trying to fix the Power Plant in Subnautica 2, you’ve likely realised that you need to power up the area in order to access the Observatory—that big tower near the Alien Ruins.
