A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how devastating an impact a 54% tariff on imports from China to the US would be on the particularly vulnerable tabletop gaming industry. Things were already looking pretty apocalyptic at that stage—but, of course, my article was already outdated within days, as the tariffs surged even higher….
This is the best Framework 13 laptop the company has ever produced. The mighty new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mainboard is obviously the main thing which has improved the overall experience, performance, and battery life of the wee upgradeable wonder, but I am also rather into the new keyboard and GameBoy Advance opaque…
Baldur’s Gate 3 recently received its eighth major patch and, pinky promise, this time Larian Studios says it’s done. All those other times it said it was done were just plain fooling: it’s really, properly done with the game now. Wipe that manly tear from your eye, friend, for at the very least Patch 8…
Where has the year gone? Seems like just yesterday the hardware team was all hands on deck for a fresh wave of Nvidia graphics cards that was not exactly the smoothest of sailing. Now we’re already staring down this year’s Computex, set to run between May 20 and 23 in Taipei, Taiwan, potentially setting the…
If you’re anything like me, the first time you laid eyes on Oblivion Remastered, you wondered why it was called Oblivion Remastered. ‘Surely,’ you mused to yourself in an urbane, handsome, charmingly mischievous sort of way, ‘this is a full-on remake? This is far too much work to just call a remaster.’ Well, it’s because…
When it comes to computing, flexibility usually means something to do with software compatibility, or just maybe a bendable screen. But a computer chip that can be extended to over three times its normal size? That’s a real, er, stretch. But it’s exactly what a team of researchers at MIT are claiming their new “strong…
Monster Hunter Wilds kicked off April with Title Update 1, adding new monster hunts, challenge quests, and a new Grand Hub as a central base of operations and socializing space for hunters to hang out between quests. It’s also the venue for Blossomdance, the first Monster Hunter Wilds seasonal event, which kicked off last night…
Before playing Marvel Rivals, I was suffering from a serious case of MCU fatigue. I’d gone from watching every film on opening night to actively trying to avoid whatever slop they were trying to shove out as quickly as possible after Endgame. But it took all of two seconds after booting up Marvel Rivals to…
Nvidia G-Assist is one of the few AI tools we in the PC Gamer hardware lair have genuinely liked the look of. G-Assist promises quite a lot, but at bottom it’s a local language model you can run off your RTX 30-series (or above) GPU to help you with gaming-related tasks. Now, however, it looks…
You know how comedy geniuses and chronic dieters will say their favorite brand of chips is “dangerous,” because once you rip open the bag it’s a swift trip to the bottom? That’s me with JRPGs; Kingdom Hearts’ absurd garble of a plot breached my treasured memories after I spent 100 hours with its cast, and…
