As if there wasn’t already preposterous levels of demand for computer memory, Micron has identified two new classes of device that will soon be gobbling up RAM in huge quantities. Apparently, both autonomous cars and humanoid robots will need hundreds of gigabytes of the stuff. Speaking during Micron’s recent earnings call with Wall Street’s best…
One of the most irritating facets of the AI hullabaloo—as someone moderately invested in making things—is the assertion that AI finally ‘unlocks creatives to make bigger, better things’ or some other codswallop. Bah, I say—the truth being that creative arts like writing, drawing, painting, or acting are immensely complicated professions, and when I look at…
The last time I gamed on a 4K 27-inch display, what I really wanted were even more pixels. Over eight million obviously just ain’t enough. Actually, no I absolutely didn’t. But the new Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG is giving them to me anyway, all 15 million of tiny RGB suckers thanks to a 5K native…
Until Arc Raiders pivoted away from being a solely PvE boss fight race, production director Caio Braga said in a recent GDC talk that no one could really describe what the game was: “You’d ask someone who would say it was a battle royale versus Arc, or it’s a co-op Shadow of the Colossus game,…
It’s tough to pick a particular highlight of Solasta 2. It’s a slight improvement in a bunch of ways, though no one change is dramatic enough to be a selling point on its own. A handful of name voice actors elevate the performances, the writing’s a bit less cornball, the update to D&D’s 2024 rules…
The Dead by Daylight roster of horror baddies grows a little longer every year, and up until 2025, the asymmetrical horror arena maintained a (mostly) regular update schedule by adding one major chapter every three months. Those DLC add-ons typically came with a new killer, survivor, and occasional map, but Behaviour adjusted its schedule last…
It may have taken a few delays to get us here, but the Crimson Desert release date is just around the corner and I’m starting to see why the Pearl Abyss action RPG took so long. The world of Pywel looks massive, and even without Black Desert’s iconic character creator there to lose myself in,…
Oh, Thomas the Tank Engine, you delightful locomotive: How we love you and your haunting homunculi visage, your community of animate rail engines, your diligent adherence to the tasks of Sir Topham Hatt, your habit of getting launched with incredible violence by an inscrutable malfunction of physical law. Okay, so that last bit is a…
Tomb Raider Remastered developer Aspyr has issued a statement saying that its “top priority” is to fix bugs and texture issues in the recently released Challenge Mode update for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, but it also denied accusations that the new outfits included in the update were created with generative AI. The Challenge Mode update…
When Archetype Entertainment gave us our first look at Exodus gameplay in 2024, I was a little underwhelmed: My immediate and enduring thought was, boy, this sure looks like Mass Effect. Today the studio revealed a brief medley of new gameplay clips and, well, boy, it sure does look like Mass Effect. The three-in one…
