If you haven’t heard of ASML, it’s the company that makes the machines upon which modern computing currently depends. Without ASML, well, computer chips would be very different. And now ASML is claiming a breakthrough in one of the key bottlenecks for manufacturing cutting-edge silicon thanks to a big boost in light production. ASML currently…
Arc Raiders‘ Shrouded Sky update has added a handful of new quests, and, somehow, none are more annoying than Worth Your Salt. It’s very straightforward, truth be told; you just need to interact with a few things in a hangar, but like the A Prime Specimen quest in the previous update, it’s much harder to…
Sam, the grizzled detective protagonist of Obsidian Moon, spends most of his time moving little bits of paper around on his desk and worrying about whether he’s got enough money to afford whiskey and beans. As a former magazine editor, I find it all very relatable. The stakes are a bit more serious in his…

When you read the words “From legendary developers Steve Ellis and David Doak” you could be forgiven for assuming that the next words would be “comes a new FPS”. Ellis and Doak were among Free Radical Design’s co-founders, giving us the excellent TimeSplitters series, and nearly Star Wars: Battlefront 3, before it was canned and…
Here’s a challenge. Get rid of the screen door effect from VR headsets without resorting to uber high-res display panels. Solution? Use CRTs. Yes, really. At least, that’s one of the main benefits an enterprising YouTuber, dooglehead, discovered when he cooked up a homebrew VR headset using actual CRTs. Now, at this stage you’re probably…
Stable Housing, one of the new quests in Arc Raiders‘ Shrouded Sky update, once again sends us into the deathtrap that is Stella Montis. This time, it’s your job to open a safe in the Security Bridge for Tian Wen. Given you have permission to peek inside the safe, you wouldn’t think it would be…
