Quartz is one of the first and most important materials you’ll need to find in Subnautica 2, since it’s used to make some vital tools. This includes the Scanner, which is how you unlock basically every major blueprint, from the Sonic Resonator to the Wakemaker and Tadpole. But finding quartz isn’t easy when you’re thrust…
You start with just 20 inventory slots and five hotbar spaces in Subnautica 2, which you’ll fill up in a matter of minutes. After that, you’ll be juggling storage chests and trying to find any nook and cranny to stow all your junk. So, finding out how to increase your inventory size is a high…

This was universally regarded as an excellent take, and absolutely no one got upset….
Summer’s a’coming and that means the internet tube is about to extrude hundreds of videogame “world premiere” announcements in a variety of highly curated showcases—yes, PC Gaming Show included. So that you don’t have to wander through June saying “wait, that was today?” every time your group chat starts dropping hot new trailers, I’ve got…
There are a lot of ways to get laid off in the games industry—make a good game, make a bad game, start making a game that isn’t exciting. Start making a game that your boss actively loves and get told to jog on, anyway. Your boss wears a hat. You know, normal and healthy stuff….
