The Witcher 4 is all about Ciri rather than Geralt, and that’s going to be a pretty big change for a lot of fans of CD Projekt’s epic RPG trilogy. But Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle thinks it’s a great idea, although he won’t say why, because he also thinks it’d be great if everyone…
The super-compact, two-slot design of the new Nvidia RTX 5090 was actually inspired by a massive four-slot prototype that was never released to the public. So, says Nvidia in a fascinating new deep-dive video into the design of the 5090’s innovative cooling solution. “The mission of the 50 Series graphics card was to figure out…
It’s here, what we’ve all been on the edge of our seats for: Game Assist in Microsoft Edge Stable. Okay, sorry, sorry—for the joke and for the sarcasm. But yes, Microsoft’s foray into anti-alt-tabbing activism is now out of beta. For the uninitiated, Game Assist debuted in November last year, much to the seeming chagrin…
DDoS attacks have only gotten more sophisticated as time goes on. An increasingly popular tactic among bad actors is to hit hard and fast in what are described as ‘hypervolumetric’ attacks. For instance, last October one ISP based in East Asia was pummeled by a botnet at a rate of 5.6 terabit per second. According…
Less than a week after rolling out a new code of conduct for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 forums on Steam, Deep Silver says it has “listened to your feedback” and eliminated nearly all of it. The original code of conduct, published on January 17, laid out a “zero tolerance” policy for discrimination in any…

I dream of a cable-free gaming PC—no more tangles, zip-ties, velcro, or fiddly connectors. Alas, a life without cable management is a long way away. In the meantime, we do now have the means to at least hide some of those cables out of sight (and out of mind), and that’s exactly what I’ve gone…
Second-time leader of the free world Donald J. Trump is reportedly open to the idea of Elon Musk or Oracle head honcho Larry Ellison, among others, buying TikTok. But there’s a catch. In return for oiling the wheels of the deal, Trump thinks the US government should get half of TikTok. Bloomberg reports that President…
I’m not going to suggest you watch all seven hours of the livestream of the Excel World Championship Finals but, if you start watching, you’ll be treated to an exceptional creation: The Excel World Championship theme song. A kind of soft rock ballad that is AI-created but seems to be sung by an actual human,…
When Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was Steam Deck verified, I confess that I was immediately suspicious. Steam is now full of demanding games that are technically verified, despite the fact that the Deck simply can’t handle them without significant performance issues. We’re talking blurry messes that dip below 20 fps even…
