Luckily,…
The first Monster Train had great timing: It pulled into Steam a few months after Slay the Spire left early access, which was right when I was ready for a break from spire slaying, but was still in the mood for roguelike deckbuilding. And it was a lot of fun. Five years later, history might…
The main thing I remember about the movie Black Hawk Down, a thoroughly post-Saving Private Ryan slice of gritty military hero worship, is actor Tom Sizemore sauntering around with an almost casual indifference to the bullets whizzing past his head. Even when he gets hit, he treats it as more of an annoyance than anything….
I didn’t think natural disaster remediation would be this relaxing. When I first booted up RoadCraft, a game about performing clean-up jobs with heavy vehicles, I was plunged into a reflective mood by the plangent, melancholy guitar licks that better evoke crackling campfires and copious whiskey than they do mud and exhaust fumes. The mood…
You won’t hear any lectures from me, as I know how hard it is to let go of tech that’s served you well. My last gaming laptop lasted me 10 years before the recovery partition on the hard drive finally said ‘no more!’ True, it had been ailing for some time before then, repeatedly switching…
Video game retailer GameStop has announced plans to “pursue a sale” of its operations in France and Canada, in the latest setback for the company’s international business. According to a brief press release posted to the GameStop website (via the Toronto Star) the move comes in the wake of an “evaluation of its international assets”….
Overwatch 2’s Season 16 began last night, and with it came a load of new features like perks and loot boxes, changes to the UI, and a rank reset. It’s a big update for the start of the season, but one that was very much needed thanks to the new competition that Marvel Rivals has…
Words cannot describe how much I love Avowed’s glossary of, well, words. In case you’ve not been playing Obsidian’s excellent little RPG yet, the game has a “dialogue history and lore” option you can pull up whenever someone’s not actively yapping, which’ll not only let you skim through previous dialogue. It’ll also pull up a…
If it wasn’t a $1,000+ graphics card, I’d feel sorry for the RTX 5080. It’s literally half the GPU of the big boi RTX 5090—Nvidia’s flagship GeForce Blackwell card—and yet suffers from severely limited stock and punitively high pricing. But it’s the second-tier RTX 50-series card, and can at least claim to be the second…
The Trump-tariff love fest is clearly going to run and run. But for what it’s worth, the latest PC-relevant development involves a blanket 25% tariff—and rising—on all chips coming into the USA (via Bloomberg). To be clear, nothing official has been announced, but President Trump says the tariff is “likely”. That’s a shift or perhaps…
