While I’m still side-eyeing and tentatively approaching AI for use for things like ideation, the world around me is breezing on by, putting it to use in every which way you can imagine. Some ways weird, some wonderful, and some probably incredibly wasteful. What’s not wasteful, to my eyes, is putting it to the task…
Steam’s new Games Made in Sweden sale is out here reminding me just how many great titles we owe to our Scandinavian cousins. Vermintide, Darktide, Payday, Valheim, Amnesia, Satisfactory—the list goes on and on. Currently, a lot of these games have decent discounts, such as Vermintide 2 (one of our games of the year for…
If you’re rockin’ a current-gen AMD graphics card, there are yet more hints that multi frame gen (MFG), ie, frame gen that promises more than 2x frame rate, could soon be with us. ‘Soon’ is relative, of course, especially in the case of AMD, but detective work by a user on the Chinese forum Chiphell…
One of the unfortunate drawbacks of social media is that anyone, and I mean anyone, can now have a public feud that the rest of us have to witness. Case in point, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk are having a tiff on X, and it’s starting to get out of hand. Responding to…
Games on Steam have already been enjoying the various shades of the Steam Deck Compatibility check mark for some time now. Well, now you can check a title’s compatibility on both the Steam Machine and SteamOS right there on its store page. A few beats after the Steam Machine‘s June release, you can now check…
Summer Games Done Quick, the (self-explanatorily) summer version of Games Done Quick, has tallied a lovely $2.4 million in raised money for Doctors Without Borders, a charity that provides medical care around the world to those in need. The number’s been announced via a BlueSky post celebrating the milestone, one which was—and I must emphasise,…
Destiny 2 isn’t going anywhere, but it also isn’t… well, going anywhere. The game’s servers will still be running for the foreseeable future, but Bungie has since ceased updates to its flagship shooter to move onto other projects, tragically laying off much of its staff in the aftermath of that decision. It’s a sorry state…
Palworld recently celebrated its launch into 1.0 and out of early access with 27-pages of patch notes and no price hike, and the devs were rewarded with the best turnout they’ve seen since the game first released into early access way back in January 2024. A peak of 855,525 concurrent players turned up for the…
A report from The Wall Street Journal tells the tale of Tim Cook’s visit to the White House last summer, in which the Apple chief attempted to persuade the administration to abandon plans to impose tariffs on 100% of all semiconductor imports. Apple was eventually granted an exemption to the tariffs, in return for a…
Catching Panthalus isn’t something you’ll be able to do early on in Palworld. As with most other legendary pals, this newly-added giant whale is a tricky fight, and what’s more, you’ll have to complete a quest before you can even face it. Despite the fact you get the Panthalus quest after the new tower boss…
