Way back in August, a Baldur’s Gate 3 player managed to one-shot the final boss of Act 2 by using a mace that deals damage based on how much gold the target has, doing so by reverse-pickpocketing 15,000 sword coast smackeroons into Ketheric Thorm‘s pocket. Fast-forward to the present day, and it seems like someone…
Intel’s technically unified both its Arc discrete and integrated graphics drivers, meaning that all the performance boosts we’ve seen benefitting the Arc A750 and A770 (less said about the Arc A580 the better) will arrive on its new integrated GPUs around the same time. Intel has just announced, and effectively released its new Core Ultra…
One of the glorious things about being a PC owner is the fact that the only limits to what you do with your gaming machine are your imagination and size of your bank balance. Some may desire to turn the simple box into an explosion of light and colour, whereas others may hark for something…
If you want your shiny new Intel Core UItra laptop to come with an equally shiny Arc Graphics badge, then you’re going to need to make sure you have at least 16GB of memory inside your machine and that it’s configured in dual-channel mode, too. One of the exciting things about the new Meteor Lake…
To me, the Steam Workshop has always seemed like a neglected aspect of everyone’s default PC game launcher. It’s useful for installing a couple of must-haves, but it doesn’t hold a candle to more full-fledged software like Mod Organizer 2 or the Vortex Mod Manager. The fact you can’t adjust your load order—meaning you can’t…
Intel has taken the wraps off its new Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra laptop CPUs, and it’s aiming these low-power chips squarely at my favourite AMD chip of all time—the Ryzen 7 7840U. That’s the similarly low-power Zen 4 processor at the heart of the latest Framework 13 mainboard, but also every single non-Valve handheld gaming…
The PlayStation 5 celebrated its third birthday last month, with Sony marking the event by releasing a chassis refresh (aka the unofficially named PS5 Slim). With that all out of the way, the interwebs rumour network is now in ‘PS5 Pro’ mode and there’s much talk about what the beefier model will have inside its…
In a recent interview with WoW’s community council (thanks, WoWhead), the game’s current director Ion Hazzikostas was asked about the current state of the story, and how dang hard it is to introduce new players to its extensive lore. For context, World of Warcraft’s had a long-standing issue: a ton of lore can only be…
If there’s one thing the hot tub meta of 2021 taught us, it’s that Twitch’s policies around nudity can be incredibly confusing for everyone involved, including Twitch itself. When your massive streaming platform has to issue a public statement assuring fans it’s not going to punish anyone for being sexy, you probably have to acknowledge…
You’re going to have to wait a little longer for Noctua’s next-gen 140mm fan. Despite positive signs out at Computex this year that had suggested the fan would head to mass production by the tail-end of 2023, that plan has been scuppered by late issue. This means it has to go through a lengthy validation…
