James Bentley, hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This week I’ve been: Strapping the VR headset on every day and (regrettably) playing Rocket League again. On the first day of January, I was both cold and had a cold: a terrible start to my new year’s resolution of, well, actually getting enough exercise. Luckily, the Meta…
Good news: Eric Barone says in his latest Haunted Chocolatier update that he’s “been very productive lately” on the game. Bad news: Release date? Haha, no. Okay, it’s not really “bad news” in the way of all the actual bad news out there, and I’m not sure it even counts as mildly disappointing: Barone’s been…
Paradox aired its year-end report—where it chats all the money it has and hasn’t made for the benefit of investors—earlier today, but don’t worry, I watched it for you. Long story short? Paradox raked in a whole lot of cash this quarter: 23% more than it earned in the same quarter last year, making it…
A team of scientists say they’ve developed a new type of fibre integrated circuit technology, or FIC, with a potential integration density of up to 100,000 transistors per centimetre. The chip-integrated fibres are said to be as thin as a human hair, and can withstand repeated bending and abrasion, stretching, twisting, and even “crushing by…
Geiger Counters are already a sought-after item in Arc Raiders, primarily because you can recycle them into Exodus Modules and Batteries. If you’re short on change, they’re also worth a tasty $3,500 each. The new permanent Trophy Display project has only made them more valuable, since you’ll need to deliver three of them to complete…
Expired Respirators aren’t typically all that useful in Arc Raiders, despite being a rare-quality item. Unless you need a measly $640 or a handful of Rubber Parts and Fabric, that is. However, the new permanent Trophy Display project gives Expired Respirators a new purpose: you’ll need them to complete the second stage, Soaring Menaces. Given…
Linux gaming is here to stay, baby. That feels like a good summation of the gaming OS arena of 2025/2026. It’s been going from strength to strength, thanks to continual Proton updates, attention garnered from the Legion Go S and the upcoming Steam Machine, and as of today, even official Nvidia GeForce Now support. And…
“Pokémon and gachapon” is a combo that belongs on a shelf next to the other great pairs of our world like salt & vinegar or Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It’s an obvious winner. Or it should be, which is what creature-collecting gacha game Aniimo is betting on. Someone is probably going to nail the…
After playing a DNA-altering amount of Monster Train 2 over the holiday break, I felt like I was entering the twilight of my time with the game. 370 hours, 127 wins against the Titans—I was still enjoying filling out my logbook with wins, but I’d gotten everything and more that I’d needed out of the…
Cloudflare has sent us a copy of its quarterly DDoS threat report, and it makes for hair-raising reading. The gigantic CDN provider claims that it recorded “an unprecedented bombardment” from a botnet in the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in a DDoS attack that peaked at 31.4 Terabits a second. Cloudflare claims that this is…
