I didn’t realize how much Elden Ring Nightreign upgraded its Dark Souls skins until I saw them side-by-side with the originals

FromSoft dataminer and YouTuber BonfireVN has uploaded a new video comparing Elden Ring Nightreign’s Dark Souls throwback skins to their original models, and I was surprised at how much they’ve actually been touched up since their original appearances.

Somebody actually bought that $3,000 Steam Deck prototype off eBay, then they let a YouTuber crack it open to see what’s inside

Tech YouTuber Bringus Studios has published a 36-minute video analyzing, testing, and disassembling the prototype Steam Deck that sold on eBay in April. Bringus’ analysis shows it to be a much less powerful device than what we ultimately got, but surprisingly close to the retail unit in terms of layout. Though Bringus Studios published the…
