Path of Exile director Jonathan Rogers says he’s never worried that much about the timing of other game releases—particularly other seasonal action RPGs—when it comes to scheduling major updates for his own game. But this year, Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 release will likely be within a few weeks of the one game that has…
The Associated Press has a new report on a cafe in Stockholm that’s being used for an AI experiment, in which an AI bot using Google Gemini runs the show while all the actual, y’know, coffee-making is done by humans at its command.

Lord knows I have, and something tells me I’m not the only one. With the release of Outbound—a laid-back, crafting exploration sandbox—all you listless adventurers can too. I’ve…

A few days ago, Windows Latest reported that a new Low Latency Profile in Windows 11 could make budget rigs perform better. Effectively, it ramps up CPU usage for certain high-priority tasks, which allows it to open and interact with elements of Windows 11 much quicker than before. Since it was spotted, it has been…
