For instance, attendees at this year’s World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai could have a go at playing Black Myth: Wukong with just…
“If you’re going to shortcut it with AI, you might as well just go play the original”. You may have read elsewhere on the internet that Treasure’s N64 classic Mischief Makers (also known as Yuke-Yuke Trouble Makers) has been given a native PC port.

This time, the sleuthing twosome, Sally and Grimoire, arrive on Switch 2 with The Mermaid Mask, putting a fresh new murder mystery straight into your hands. It’s a classic setup:…
I run a single SSD gaming PC, which I’m aware is giving me a wonderful case of ‘single-point-of-failure-itus.’ Which is why my ears (eyes?) perked up when I read about GigaWiper, a wonderfully-named malware that can potentially do terrible things to your storage drives.
