If you’re a fan of 1990s disaster movies, you’ll know all about the potential damage that an undetected asteroid could wreak if it impacted Earth.

AMD’s Frank Azor was quick to step on rumours last week of a 32 GB variant of the RX 9070 XT, categorically denying the mega-VRAM-equipped hypotheti-card would be released.

Ahead of the Shovel Knight: Steel They Shovel live concert series coming to New York and LA in the next month, I got the chance to talk to Yacht Club artist Nick Wozniak about the indie game’s legacy and the state of games today. Wozniak understandably had a lot of thoughts on nailing an authentic…
