Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an engine that spits out chaos and regret, but don’t worry, I mean that as some of the highest praise I can offer a game. We’re talking all sorts of consequences for my horrible, horrible decisions and Stalker-with-swords levels of weird, systems-driven mayhem. I’ve rumbled with Cumans because I chose…
I will never fail to be staggered by the improvements that World of Warcraft has made in a few short years, especially given my miserly perspective on it circa 2020. I wouldn’t even say that perspective’s been unwarranted—quite the opposite. Shocking allegations of workplace culture issues slammed broadside into one of the most disappointing expansion…
Ryzen 9 9900X | 12 cores | 24 threads | 5.6 GHz boost | 64 MB L3 cache | 120 W TDP | AM5 socket | $499 $409.99 (save $89.01) In our Ryzen 9 9900X review, our main criticism was the price, with it not majorly outshining the much cheaper Ryzen 9 7900X but, at…
AMD is having some of its latest Ryzen 9000-series desktop CPUs made at TSMC’s new fab in Arizona. So claims Taipei, Taiwan-based journalist Tim Cuplan. It was reported last year that AMD was planning on having some high-performance CPUs made at TSMC’s Arizona facilities. Now those CPUs have been identified as the latest Ryzen 9000…
If you take the time to learn about ranks in Marvel Rivals, it sure is helpful to know where to aim if you want to start playing competitively. These ranks won’t be anything groundbreakingly new if you already have experience in other hero shooters. But Marvel Rivals still has some quirks that you’ll want to…
Sim racing can be a sweaty business. I dare say that’s something I can write with experience, but perhaps no more. I went for a test drive in a sim rig over at CES 2025 from Nitro Concepts that included a set of blowers that kept me cool, and more importantly, plenty immersed while racing….
Final Fantasy 14 communities have been in a bit of a commotion lately—as a recent mod stepping into the limelight has exposed a vulnerability in the way Square Enix has handled its new-and-‘improved’ blacklist feature. In essence, this solution to the game’s stalker problem has inadvertently made it very easy for ToS-violating (but currently untraceable)…
TikTok’s lawyers will today appear before the US Supreme Court in a final attempt to prevent a ban of the platform. Last year the US Congress passed a law ordering that the social media company either be split from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or blocked within the US entirely, with the rationale being that it…
Want a super-clean desktop build? Get a motherboard with all the connectors on the rear. The only problem is price. It’s gonna cost you. But perhaps not as much as it once did, thanks to some new “Project Zero” Intel motherboards announced by MSI for CES. Project Zero is of course MSI’s branding for motherboards…
Thermaltake has a handful of new Toughpower PSUs on display at its CES 2025, and I’ve been over there to check them out. First off, the Thermaltake Toughpower D2000, which is quite literally too powerful for use in many American homes. The D2000 is a 2000 W power supply, which is double the recommended capacity…
