A question I have asked myself many times in just the first few hours of playing Creeper World IXE (pronounced “icks”), the latest in a long-running oddball indie strategy series. The answer, somehow, is always “very bad”. And yet I continue…
Yeah, I get it, we already know that Nvidia’s sold a motherlode of chips and is laughing its way to the bank. But it hits a little differently to see the actual numbers.

It’s kind of amazing how Vermintide 2, Fatshark’s medieval-fantasy pest control sim from 2018, continues to be neck-and-neck in popularity with its far more recent 40k successor Darktide. A big part of that is that there just seems to be a lot more scope within its design for super-fun updates. Case in point: you can…
Spend any time with Miniforum’s AtomMan G7 PT and it’s clear you’re dealing with a tidy piece of engineering. The looks I can leave behind, but the choice of performant components, well-managed by a quiet and competent cooling solution, makes for a neat package.
