The theory posits that humans on the internet are relatively rare, but bots responding in a manner just like…
Dear reader, I have some sorry news to report—Balatro is taking over all of gaming. No RPG, no strategy game, no charming indie hit is safe. If you have a videogame, you are getting absorbed into Balatro, until all is rendered poker, praise be to the Almighty Blind. This is the part where you imagine…
Designed with cloud computing security in mind, AMD’s Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP), which is an incredibly long and serious name to suggest how complicated it is, has recently seen a rather worrying security breach, involving RAM and a Raspberry Pi. The SNP part of that phrase is an added security measure to SEV,…

It’s had a good run, having been with us since July 2015, replacing the dreadful Windows 8 with an interface that harked back to Windows 7 and previous versions of the operating system rather than any tablet-aping fullscreen experiments. Public perception of Windows releases since…
I think it’s fair to say that PC Gamer and Hitman: Blood Money have a long, storied relationship. Jim Rossignol once said that ‘I never get tired of Hitman: Blood Money’s inventiveness’, while Tom Francis described the assassination sim as ‘one of the richest, most open-ended and enduringly satisfying games ever.’ That sounds like high…
