The puzzle game Wordle, onetime viral sensation and now a daily fixture of the New York Times, is becoming a gameshow that will be broadcast in both the UK and US. Broadcaster NBC is behind the TV adaptation, which will be filmed in Manchester, England, and hosted by Savannah Guthrie, who currently presents the network’s…
With AI sucking up much of the supply, memory hasn’t been in the best state as of late, in regard to both price and availability. This, unfortunately, makes it fertile ground for scammers, and we’re starting to see convincing DDR5 counterfeits. As noted by @taki_pc_1115 on X, “At first glance, they look like regular memory…
There’s a sadness in the technosphere right now, ain’t there? This overwhelming disappointment that sort of lingers at the back of your mind like unkempt cable management. Enough journalists have called out the enshittification of PC gaming (or platform decay as us sophisticated lot call it), I’m certainly not the first in that regard. But…
So, Mixtape. In case you’ve been wisely keeping out of the loop, Mixtape released last week to a series of rave reviews online. I went ahead and played it, giving it a 74 in our Mixtape review (which I would like to take a moment to remind people is a good score) but it didn’t…

It’s impossible to stand around and input thousands of potential passwords, especially…
If you played a Cthulhu lore drinking game during The Sinking City then I pity your liver. It had tentacles, a New England setting, a sanity mechanic, a troubled private detective, an asylum level, analogies for racism incongruously placed next to depictions of actual racism—all these genre clichés shuffled onto its damp stage, shuffled around…
In the pages of this outlet, Cliff Bleszinski is known for many things. He’s known for his work at Epic, the creation of Gears of War, the development of LawBreakers, and some questionable assessments of where LawBreakers went wrong. He’s the kind of guy whose tastes and general demeanour might lead us to categorise him…
At last the mystery is over. Just how good is Intel’s Big Battlemage GPU at gaming? According to the first round of comprehensive benchmarks, we’re talking RTX 5060 Ti performance.
