You can watch my teardown attempt above. I’ve sped it up at times, mostly through the bits where I have no idea what to do next. That’s most of it. My attempts to take apart the Steam Frame ended in me nervously replacing screws on our only review unit. I hadn’t broken anything, but I…
Here are those 74 seconds of scorpion-clubbing ASMR you wanted, boss. You may not like it, but this is what peak MMO gaming looks like.
A message to a videogame boss: Look, Slay the Spire 2’s Knight Gang, if you can’t handle being stabbed with 19 tiny little knives that are paradoxically big enough to hit you all simultaneously, maybe you don’t belong in the NBA
After some heavy controversy and arguments with the internet writ large, Discord is now trying to fulfil legal obligations to roll out age verification systems that snoop on you as little as possible. How so? Well, with an “age estimation model” that tries to figure out how old you are, which I’m sure will put…
World of Warcraft: Forever has a lot of clever little surprises in it that players are digging up during the beta, including this one: A hidden druid shapeshift form that activates if you’re wearing the five-piece Embrace of the Viper from the Wailing Caverns dungeon.

I give you the Cherry Bloom from Aussie PC maker Aftershock, a custom PC you can actually order…

They tend to be decent devices overall, but are usually expensive enough that you can get more bang for your buck from the competition. However, there’s a new budget offering in town from the big green snake,…
For the time being, DLSS5 is only officially available via Nvidia’s 50-series cards. The company has said in the past the neural rendering tech will eventually come to 40-series cards too, but I simply couldn’t wait. Having now witnessed multiple passes of the upscaling tech applied to my anime-style game of choice, I have some…
Listen, you can say what you want about Avowed—I wouldn’t even blame you if you didn’t like it, or much of what has come out of Obsidian’s recent catalogue. There’s even a tiny, selfish scrap of my gamer heart that’s secretly very glad that Obsidian is working on a new Fallout game, again. But this…
