If you’re anything like me, your myriad social media feeds have become a rolling timeline of atrocities to which you feel compelled, uselessly, to bear witness. But here’s an opportunity to do something, however small: Itch.io is currently hosting Play for Peace – Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle, an enormous 382-game pack that you…
Small form factor (aka SFF) builds are the PC equivalent of bespoke mechanical timepieces. Beautiful to look at and stylish to have around, but a bit of a pig to work inside them, especially when it comes to dealing with ever-larger graphics cards. You might therefore be interested to know about Maxsun’s unique solution for…
Monster Hunter Wilds is going through the wringer at the moment—and while it’s addressing some issues, namely its initially thin endgame content loop, it’s still clunking along through some major performance woes in PC. Woes which, at the time of writing, won’t be fully addressed to the end of the year. But the major obstacle’s…

Encountering a Dragon Roach for the first time in Helldivers 2 is a somewhat scary experience, as a flying giant swoops down from the sky and incinerates the flesh from your bones with green fire. If you’ve ventured into any of the new cave missions destroying eggs or trying to nuke a spore lung, you’ll…
As a games writer I am, of course, unconscionably rich. Unfortunately, my assets are mostly tied up in procuring designer drugs and funding guerilla movements across the world, so I don’t have quite the free reign on my wealth that some other folks do. Folks like Atari CEO Wade Rosen, for instance, who recently sat…
Starship Troopers is a satirical movie (and less satirical book) that examines how fascist dictatorships drive young people into the meat grinder—waging pointless war across the galaxy, sending poor souls deep into the heart of an insectoid hive to meet a horrific death for basically zero reason. Helldivers 2 slightly undercuts this satire by making…
If you’re looking to come up with a different way of cooling a big CPU or GPU to get more oomph out of it, your options are a bit limited. Water loops, dry ice, liquid nitrogen, mineral oil—they’ve all been done before and to varying degrees of success. Enter stage left, one tech YouTuber with…
