If you were a leading a tech company with big aspirations, you’d be looking into Linux and Arm right now. Nvidia certainly is. The company already has both in its product stack, namely the DGX Spark, which uses a custom Linux OS and off-the-shelf Arm cores. This chip is also set to launch as the…
Water Pumps are generally pretty useless items in Arc Raiders, since you’ll either sell them for a measly 1,000 coins or scrap them for a handful of metal and oil. However, the new Weather Monitor project has given the Water Pump a new lease on life. Good for the Water Pump, but not for you,…
I have now, officially, seen everything. Yes, that includes a man eating his own head. And a dog vibe coding games. It turns out that to achieve the latter all you need is a bluetooth keyboard, a Raspberry Pi, a smart pet food dispenser, a few guard rails for your AI model of choice and…
If you’ve been out there utilising cheats to gather up unfair numbers of, you know, toasters and lemons and whatever else it is Arc Raiders tasks you all with collecting, I’ve got bad news. Embark is coming for you like the goddamn Black Death. In an update published yesterday, the studio threw down the gauntlet…
After taking a wee half-year break from Final Fantasy 14, I have been (for better and worse) deep in the no-life trenches since December. I’ve been sucked straight back into the world of bunny girls and perpetual Limsa Lominsa drama—the kind I dutifully observe from the sidelines, of course. Looks like I’m not the only…
It’s important not to lose sight of the diversity of hardware. Sure, we’d all love to be playing with the latest and greatest, but a typical price tag for, say, one of Nvidia’s RTX 5090 GPUs makes that anything but realistic. A glance at the monthly Steam hardware survey demonstrates you can get on just…
Arc Raiders‘ Shrouded Sky update has added a new location to Dam Battlegrounds, known as the Controlled Access Zone. If you’ve done the A Rising Tide quest, then you’ll have noticed (and completed the first step of) the Controlled Access Zone puzzle, which opens a locked door guarding loot. Your first goal is reaching the…
Director Paul W. S. Anderson didn’t pioneer the videogame movie adaptation, but in the bad old days he was one of the very few to make decent (and commercially successful) movies out of adapting our blessed medium. I’m not going to say that stuff like Mortal Kombat (1995) or Resident Evil (2002) are high art,…
A lot has happened since Bungie originally held its alpha playtest for Marathon, which ultimately caused the developer to go back to the drawing board for almost an entire year. One thing’s for sure: in that time, Embark has established a strong foothold in the extraction shooter genre with Arc Raiders. Nevertheless, it’s time for…
While Capcom has been on a roll with the last few Resident Evils, earlier in the series’ life things didn’t always go so smoothly. Resident Evil 2 was rebooted about 70% of the way through its development, with the original version eventually dubbed Resident Evil 1.5. Later it would take Capcom multiple restarts to settle…
