If you’ve ever felt anxious about the security of your machine while you wait for a solution to some vulnerability, a proposed change to the Linux kernel may interest you. Pitched by Nvidia staff Sasha Levin, it’s effectively a killswitch that could shut down some functions while waiting for a more official solution. As spotted…
Ready for “whatever situation arises”. As a part of last week’s Q4 financial report, Nintendo revealed that Switch 2 will be subject to a price increase later this year. Today, the company has released the transcript of the ensuing investor Q&A, where the pricing topic was naturally pushed into the limelight, and it sounds like…
When Crimson Desert first came out, a great cry went up amongst the people: Why can’t I tame a bear and ride it? Honestly, deeply relatable. This is something I’ve been thinking about for many years, but it’s apparently ‘very dangerous’ and ‘illegal’ and ‘stop trying to put a saddle on that bear, Harvey’. I…

There was a little moment during my first match on Railway to Golmud, the new map arriving in Battlefield 6 this week, where it became clear how important this update will be for last year’s best-selling FPS. I spawned in the hilltop village of Golmud and climbed a watchtower to get a view of the…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is filled with details—little character flourishes that lend the game and its world so much memorability and charm. For instance, the fact that Henry will give you a positive affirmation whenever you pop out of the game’s photo mode: “Nice!” he’ll exclaim, as you snap your umpteenth shot of Mutt. Thanks,…
