I live in a WI-Fi bowl, which, for the mercifully unaware, means that I’m capped at criminally low internet speed. Any game I want to play will take an age to download—it took me three weeks to download Stalker 2. So it goes without saying that I’m always making full use of preloads. One such…

A wild west of third-party tournaments, inconsistent formats, and a promise that “freedom” will spark creativity. Sounds nice on paper. But anyone paying attention knows what’s really happening: we’ve traded structure for chaos….

He calls it the Vera Rubin “superchip” and claims it contains no fewer than six trillion transistors. Yup, six trillion. In very simple terms, that means the…
