Whether you’re hopelessly battering your head against a tragic yet formidable boss in a soulslike, or trying to fine-tune your sniping in muggy extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown, there are few games that don’t require some level of mastery from the player. But earlier this year gamers received an unlikely ally in their perennial quest for…
We’ve reported on the rapid, almost-certainly-ecologically-unsound expansion of AI data centers before, but Meta appears to have taken things to the next level. And that level is camping. According to a SemiAnalysis report, Meta is expanding its AI hardware capabilities so rapidly, it’s putting some of its AI data center hardware in tents. Erecting brick…
I never want to be an RPG gatekeeper—I want as many people as possible to find out what makes these games so great. But their inherent crustiness can make my old-head RPG favorites hard to recommend to people who haven’t already bought in. I’ve got a lot of friends I recommend Disco Elysium to, but…
Neverwinter Nights 2 is one of my favorite games—if you want to know why you should play it, I’ve got a separate write-up here. Even though NwN2 released in 2006 after the dawn of the Xbox 360, it’s aged more poorly than many of its contemporaries and even predecessors, making it harder and harder to…
Nvidia recently became the first company to breach the $4 trillion barrier in terms of market capitalisation or its overall worth. But now there’s even more good news for bean counters and investors. Sales of Nvidia’s AI chips to China are back on. Well, probably. The news comes direct from Nvidia in a blog post,…
Certain opinions are so widespread, and so oft-repeated, that I kind of get tired of hearing them even when I share them. For instance, the notion that the version of Cyrodiil we got in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion was a bland, Tolkien-ised thing compared to the descriptions of the province we got in earlier…
Remember when, as a child, you boasted about something you were really, really good at, then got called out on your skills and had to sheepishly retract? Awkward, wasn’t it? Spare a thought for poor Google Gemini, then, which confidently boasted it was fantastic at chess before making excuses when it learned more about its…
We currently live in the era of good videogame adaptations, I know, it’s weird. There’s Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, or Jack Black’s magnum opus, A Minecraft Movie. All of which don’t just bring awareness of the games they’re based on, but also encourage people to discover more of these worlds by actually playing them, although I’d…
Claiming Blue Archive codes is a great way to get extra items and sometimes even Pyroxenes you can use when recruiting new characters in the angel and demon-battling tactics game. After all, Pyroxenes are the premium currency for Blue Archive, so you’ll need them to purchase recruitment tickets and just generally pull for new characters…
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one trying to get their head around the new Destiny 2 gear tier system. Not only is Bungie introducing armour set bonuses and completely revamping armour stats and archetypes, it’s also adding a new tiered gear system for weapons and armour, compartmentalising the loot you get into five different…
