PC Gaming
There was a time in my early teenagehood where I was so entrenched in anime and JRPG brain rot that I convinced myself I was talented enough to make a game all of my own. That never happened, of course, but the one thing I do remember from that time was how much fun I…
Owners of RTX 40- and 30-series graphics cards can now setup their own personalised large language model (LLM) on their own PC. It’s one that’s eminently capable of sifting through old documents or distilling down the essence of YouTube videos.

Trying to kill Chargers is one of Helldivers 2‘s more significant challenges on higher levels. You need the right gear or Stratagems if you want to crack open these large armoured bugs, and if you don’t have them equipped, well, you’ve got to do things the hard way. It wouldn’t be so bad if your…
If AI’s good for anything, it’s for allowing tech companies to summit new, Mansa Musa-like heights in their various market caps. Last month, Microsoft rode the AI boom to a $2.9 trillion valuation, pipping Apple to the post as the most valuable corporation on Earth. And now Nvidia’s getting in on the fun, too. Bloomberg…
Audio gear, including some of the best microphones, can be bulky pieces of equipment to accommodate on your desk.

As is the case with Diablo 4’s recent “Dark Pathways” pack, which wants you to shell…

Rumor has it that Microsoft plans to release at least some of its Xbox console exclusives on PlayStation 5. This Thursday, we’ll find out if it’s true. Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer acknowledged the rumors last week and announced that he’d reveal Microsoft’s “vision for the future of Xbox” this week. We’ve now learned that…
Helldivers 2 wears the over-the-top brutality of Starship Troopers on its fascistic sleeves. Soldiers bark propaganda slogans dynamically, missions are labeled “Restore Liberty” with no further elaboration on the alien genocide you’re committing, and the opening cinematic is pure Verhoeven. But I didn’t expect that same brutality to make friendly fire a source of fun….
