For what seems like a very long time now, the combination of the words ‘Intel’, ‘news’, and ‘good’ has been rarer than finding a four-leaf clover in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Well, cover me in honey and call me Susan, because Intel has released XeSS 2.1, and it’s tremendous news, as AMD and…
While most bugs in Grounded 2 are out for your blood, and are easy enough to beat (at least in theory: whack ’em hard enough), the humble snail is different. When you get up close to a snail, or if you’ve already gone in for a killing blow, they will hide in their shells and…
One of your main forms of progression in Grounded 2 is crafting new Omni-Tool upgrades, since these dictate what materials you can break down. You’ll need Omni-Shovel 2 to dig up certain treasures, for example, or Omni-Hammer 2 to smash various sweets. These new materials, in turn, allow you to make more powerful gear and…
If you know any of my writing on this site, you know I’ve been just a wee bit critical of Dungeons & Dragons—while I did like the 2024 ruleset overall, I have larger structural issues that have more to do with Hasbro’s bungling of just about everything—and the idea of D&D as a whole stagnating….

Alright, that might be a little unfair. There are plenty of good superhero TTRPGs out…

In a note to developers, Itch.io founder Leaf Corcoran has confirmed that free adult content will be re-indexed on the platform, alongside a new content warning system. It follows the wholesale de-indexing of adult content on the indie game marketplace due to pressure applied by an anti-pornography lobby group on major credit card processors. Since…
I wasn’t excited about the Battlefield 6 announcement because I didn’t think my aging PC would run it well. But that’s not the case at all: the Battlefield 6 minimum requirements are definitely manageable, and even the recommended specs aren’t too crazy. If you’re rocking the six-year-old RTX 2060 with an i5-8400, and have at…
The essential core of the democratic process is voting. A free, fair vote is not just essential, it is sacrosanct: Without it, everything else collapses like a house of cards. And that’s why it’s so disheartening to know that there are those among us who would prey upon our delicate democracy and twist it to…
