PC Gaming

Reporting on the impact of the US-China tariffs on the tabletop gaming industry is an increasingly bleak job. Yesterday, I wrote about the creators of Wingspan feeling forced to try to “sue the president” to survive. Today, one of the most well-known companies in the industry is essentially going into standby mode until things improve….

Tough decision after tough decision; at the end of the Oblivion Remastered tutorial, you’ll have one more major choice before you: what class to pick. There are heaps to choose from, and, to make things even more complicated, you can also craft your own custom class. To avoid later regrets, it’s wise to figure out…

Crucial’s P310 launched late last year as a PCIe 4.0 expansion option for the woefully underwhelming storage capacity found in some of our favorite handheld gaming PCs. Yeah, you can grab a Steam Deck OLED or Asus ROG Ally with a ton of storage straight out of the gate, but the uptick in pricing just…

It’s absolutely wild just how fast NAND prices have fallen over these last few years. It’s one of the few areas in the PC gaming space where the tech development and cost seem to be continually improving year-on-year. Yet, Interestingly, it’s the PCIe 4.0 arena that’s getting the most love and attention, despite 5.0 SSDs…

Ever onward the march of technology goes. Bit of a cliche, that; still, the T705 is a seriously good example of that very notion, us meagre humans pushing hardware to the absolute limit and then some. Launching mid-way through last year, at the time, Crucial announced that the T705 was the world’s fastest Gen5 SSD,…

The Wonderland Whimsy update has arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley, bringing the Alice in Wonderland realm. But while we’re free to give Alice a new home in our valleys right away, the Cheshire Cat isn’t quite ready to make the move. Unfortunately, even with the new realm open, there’s still a bit of a wait…

Well, it’s finally happened. The Future Games Show is officially large enough that it can’t be confined to one hemisphere, so tune in on Friday, May 2 for FGS Live from Gamescom LATAM. It’s a bit like the other Future Games Show productions but the weather’s a lot nicer. Festivities kick off at 2 pm…

The scientific community is still trying to work out what my body was made for, but it sure as hell isn’t climbing. An awkward experience with some crampons and a harness convinced me at a young age that I wasn’t built to free solo my way through life, and that conclusion has never steered me…

Okay, I admit it—I name my drafts ‘final,’ ‘final-1,’ and ‘final-FINAL-for real this time.’ Hey, once you come up with a naming convention that works for you, it makes sense to just stick with it… and stick with it. That is, until Windows hits you with the ‘a file with the same name already exists’…

TSMC, the world’s biggest chipmaker, has just announced another process node which will almost certainly, amongst an undoubted slew of AI chips, be used to make some of our gaming GPUs and CPUs in the future. This next-gen process is ‘A14’, meaning 14 angstroms or 1.4 nanometres or really, really small. This was announced yesterday…
