I am awful when it comes to decision making. I once heard that videogames actually make people more decisive, but that just means I’m either not a real gamer, or I’ve been doing it all wrong. It’s not that I make the wrong decisions, it’s just that I’m plagued by panicked indecision, terrified about the…
“‘Where the f**k am I gonna put a store?”. When you think of Dungeons & Dragons, there are certain expectations that immediately spring to mind, such as roleplaying, progression, epic loot, and elaborate quests filled with non-playable characters to interact with. All of these are at the heart of what makes the tabletop role-playing game…
Controllers typically come in two configurations—the offset stick layout, notable on most Xbox controllers, or the symmetrical design found on PlayStation’s offerings like the DualSense. While mostly pure preference, which is better is an argument that dates all the way back to the 1900s. As one of the survivors, around since the beginnings of this…
The Soul Spear is one of the best (and coolest) weapons in Crimson Desert. Why? Because it’s a unique spectral spear that unleashes soul-rending blasts. Overall, it just deals a boatload of damage without much extra effort. Unfortunately, you’ll have to put a bit of effort into getting this two-handed weapon though. Don’t worry if…
I occasionally find myself counting my lucky stars that I’m not a videogame developer, largely because trying to finesse the Steam market sounds like an abstract nightmare. And after listening to indie game advisor Chris Zukowski, who gave a talk at GDC this year (via GamesRadar+) I’m not convinced that sorcery isn’t involved. Some Steam…
The “next challenge”. Japanese company ZUIKI – which recently gave us the X68000 Z micro-console based on the legendary Sharp X68000 home computer – has just teased its next piece of hardware. The system shown in the image doesn’t give a lot away, but to my eye, it looks a lot like the form factor…
The Asus ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE takes the older ROG Falchion Ace HFX and essentially throws it away. That might seem like an overexaggeration, but it seems to be the truth as Asus has promised revamped switches along with a new sensor, new PBT keycaps, a completely different design and more besides. If that…
Quarterly productions revised. It’s no secret that the Switch 2 struggled over its first holiday period. The console’s sales numbers were reportedly down 35% in the US compared to what its predecessor managed back in 2017, and 2025 marked the region’s worst November since 1995 in terms of hardware sales. All this is to say,…
This sounds almost too good to be true. But Microsoft has indicated that it is “working on” removing the requirement to log in to an online MS account during initial setup of a new Windows 11 installation. As if that isn’t enough, Microsoft also says it is going to reduce disruption from Windows Update and…
As part of the country’s defense-shoring strategy, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has put “all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries” on the Covered List. This means foreign routers are now “deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the US or the safety and security of US persons” and will…
