PC Gaming
A few weeks ago, I sat down with GOG managing director Maciej Gołębiewski and new owner (and original co-founder) Michał Kiciński to chat about the venerable storefront’s future without CD Projekt. One of the ideas it was batting about? Checking out this whole Linux thing, since quite a few people seem to be jumping ship…
Clawdbot—sorry, Moltbot—is everywhere right now, assuming your algorithms are vaguely tech-adjacent. It’s an AI bot that claims to be able to do stuff. Lots of stuff. Of course, alongside such extravagant promises are a whole host of potential security and privacy concerns. According to its website, which can still be found at clawd.bot as well…
A newly-published paper entitled “Vibe coding kills open source” makes the claim that everyone’s favourite new hobby—that is, using AI tools to code their own products—is actively damaging the developers of open source software. “Vibe coding raises productivity by lowering the cost of using and building on existing code, but it also weakens the user…
Pope Leo XIV—who’s become a remarkably familiar presence in the pages of PC Gamer of late—has once again taken to the pulpit to exhort us to be careful about this “AI” nonsense. In a message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications (which is actually on May 17), the Bishop of Rome implored humanity…
I’ve already used my quota for Gen Z slang for the year in the headline—as a 33-year-old man, I’ll keep things age-appropriate from here on out. And nothing has made me feel older than this programming language my colleague just put me onto that exclusively uses Gen Z slang and was dreamt up by Anthropic’s…
It’s a great day to be a rubber duck collector in Arc Raiders. Ok, that’s very specific, but it’s a great day nonetheless. As part of the Headwinds update, Embark has overhauled the OG yellow rubber duck and has added heaps of new collectable rubber ducks, all with different skins. Part of the new map…
Should you wish to allow the (extremely dubious) astrological laws of the universe to decide the CPU scheduling within your home machine, I’ve found just the Github project for you. Also, you shouldn’t. I just wanted to get that in early. Nevertheless, scx_horoscope is a fully functional CPU scheduler that loads into the Linux kernel…
Nostalgia is a potent thing in the technology world right now. And I say that as someone with a brand new Commodore 64—a faithful replica of my very first computer—sat beside my desk. AMD is smart enough to understand this, to understand the way the cosy old days tug at the heart strings of PC…
It’s only been a day since Arc Raiders’ big Headwinds update launched, but unfortunately, it hasn’t had the release Embark would’ve hoped for, as a massive DDoS attack has affected server stability. “Both Arc Raiders and The Finals have been under extensive, coordinated DDoS attacks,” one of Embark’s community managers, Ossen, says in a post…
2025 was a bumper year for Korean memory specialist SK Hynix. In fact, the latest financial results show it was the company’s best year ever. Do I even have to explain why? OK, it’s AI, of course. But first, the bald numbers. SK Hynix raked in 97 trillion KRW in revenues in 2025. That’s about…
