The recent documentary celebrating the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2 included a segment where the designers talked about how important it was to make levels satisfying for players who barreled through them at high speed (possibly in an airboat), as well as those players who preferred to get out and walk so they could find…
Reactive RGB has come a long way over the years. From resource-hogging glowy speakers to AI-driven wall shapes you can control from your phone. But I’m always looking for a cleaner, more simple, and accurate solution. This time, it’s Nanoleaf’s go. Yes, the same Nanoleaf cladding the walls of your favourite tech/gaming influencer or cosy…
Need to repair your guns in Stalker 2? As you fight your way through the many threats of The Zone, you’ll find that your weapons start to lose durability, and honestly, most of the guns you find in the game won’t be in peak condition to begin with. Low durability means they’ll deal less damage…

The Zone is pretty vast, with a whole heap of locations to discover and explore, so it’s understandable that you might want to speed things up a little bit in your search for loot and noteworthy locales. Stalker 2’s fast travel requires you to find guide NPCs dotted…

I don’t use YouTube much, but back in 2010 I posted a clip called Radiation Side Effects in STALKER. It’s 30 seconds of footage I recorded while playing Stalker: Call of Pripyat, and not to brag, but over the past 14 years it’s gotten over 6,000 views. How am I not making mad bank as…
Neuralink patient, Noland Arbaugh, has now been in possession of the first Link brain implant for just over 100 days, as the study into the practical application of the device continues—and while the results so far seem promising, it’s not been without its setbacks. In a progress update on the Neuralink blog, the company has…
