If you have an Asus PC, laptop, AIO, or mini PC, you might want to make sure your pre-installed apps are up-to-date. That’s generally always good advice, but with the patching of a high-severity exploit in Asus’ MyAsus app, it’s particularly true right now. As posted to the Asus security board, “An uncontrolled DLL loading…
CES 2026 has been a bit of a blowout for the PC. Nvidia and AMD had basically squat to show off, leaving Intel’s Panther Lake as the only major tech launch. Except, that is, for monitors and what looks to me like the most exciting gaming display of 2026. I give you the LG UltraGear…

Konami-coded. Back in the 1980s, and more specifically 1987, Contra in its original coin-op form was a game so awe-inspiring in its action, its graphics, and its weapons (you never forget you first spreader) that everyone who was anyone — which meant I was out from the get-go– was to be found down their local…
Nintendo hits its first hurdle. A few weeks back, we covered news that the US suffered its worst November since 1995 in terms of console hardware sales. Well, as reported by The Game Business, the Switch 2 wasn’t immune, with sales down by 35% in the US compared to what the original Switch delivered in…
Fantasy megasim and mad magnum opus Dwarf Fortress has a long and cherished history of absurd patch notes and bug reports, having gifted us with bangers like “Made the corpses of small animals that die out of water stop teleporting” and “Bug: Ghost of vampires still drink blood.” With its first patch of 2026, Dwarf…
If you use Logitech gear on a macOS device—perhaps you got a brand new MX Master 4 over the holidays—and spotted it stopped working, that’s because Logitech forgot to update its dev certificate. Whoopsie. As reported by The Verge, the Logitech Subreddit saw Mac users complaining that their app wasn’t working, and one comment showed…
Fallout has a lot of iconic hallmarks—ghouls, deathclaws, radioactive cesspools, and some swingin’ music. But it’s also iconic for the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (VATS), which sees you using your Pip Boy to target and pop-pop body parts of various wasteland uglies. While it’d be hard to think of a Fallout game without VATS underlying…
Hello, Mario!, amiibo, and merch incoming. Back in August, Nintendo announced a line of child-friendly products under the ‘My Mario’ banner, including a free Hello, Mario! app for Switch and mobile, cute sets of wooden block amiibo, and assorted merch aimed at babies and toddlers. It was only a matter of time before it all…
Despite no one who’s ever worked as a retail worker recommending it, retail sims are a burgeoning genre following hits like Supermarket Simulator, TCG Card Shop Simulator, and (technically) Schedule 1. I suppose angry customers, low pay, and terrible hours aren’t really that bad when it’s all digital and you’re holding the cards. It turns…
