Few of us are immune to the draw of retail therapy. While I can quite happily walk through a clothes store without reaching for my wallet once, when it comes to design, I’m a sucker for making inadvisable impulse purchases on a bad day. Which is why, when this customisable macro pad came to the…
It’s Mastercard’s world; we just live in it. That’s my understanding based on a recent communiqué from Valve to PC Gamer, which confirmed that, yup, the company sure did recently remove a whole spate of adult games from its storefront because it made payment processors upset. “We were recently notified that certain games on Steam…
Square Enix has made an announcement today which may seem small now, but will cast a bigger shadow as we approach the spooky season of October, which marks the end of support for Windows 10. “Final Fantasy 14 support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025,” an official blog post says. “Microsoft will…
Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation, recently gave an interview to YouTuber Zalkar Saliev. The full interview is yet to surface but a few shorts from the conversation have been released, including one about Newell’s daily routine (“get up, work, go scuba diving“), and his thoughts on why startups chasing VC money makes no…
This robot being tested in China runs frighteningly well 😬 pic.twitter.com/xI8YVqgyNDJuly 11, 2025 Ordinarily, I’m not one to jump on whatever the current social media/viral sensation happens to be this week, but in this case, I’ll make an exception.

The Galax RTX 5090 D HOF XOC Edition is an interesting graphics card. For a start, as an RTX 5090 D GPU, it’s only available in China. It’s got a ridiculous name, a ridiculous shroud design (is that a literal crown?) and it’s been overbuilt to the nth-degree for overclocking purposes—and now evidence suggests that…
If you were planning on conquering an alien world with a faction of weirdos in August, I’ve got some bad news: Endless Legend 2 has been delayed. Instead of appearing on August 7, Amplitude’s early access 4X is now expected to launch on September 22. Amplitude says the delay will give the team more time…
The Genshin Impact 5.8 codes have arrived, providing some bonus Primogems for anyone wishing on the new or returning characters arriving in the next version update. For those who are new to miHoYo games, the developer hosts a livestream for each of its games every six weeks, running through all the new content, such as…
Asus has been on a tear with its gaming keyboards lately. I’ve tried most of its recent gaming keyboards, from the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless to the compact Falchion RX, and I’ve liked pretty much every single one. You’d expect me then to shower the ROG Azoth X with the same praise, but…
It’s not just your PC or your phone that’s a potential cybersecurity risk these days, as Google’s recent work uncovering an internet-of-things botnet proves. Researchers working in collaboration with Human Security and Trend Micro revealed the interestingly-named Badbox 2.0 botnet earlier this month, and now Google has confirmed it’s beginning legal action against its perpetrators….
