The stream of post-launch patches for Mewgenics has been pretty constant since its release last month. With a game this big and full of overlapping systems, unleashing it on the general public was always going to reveal an explosion of bugs and issues, and it seems like developers Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel have been…

Exactly a week after Intel announced its newly refreshed Arrow Lake Plus CPUs for desktop PCs, here comes a pair of mobile chips for laptops. We give you the new Intel Core Ultra 200HX Plus family with 8% more gaming performance. Unlike the new desktop Arrow Lake Plus chips, that gaming uplift is delivered without…

If you think you’re tired of seeing generative AI everywhere, well at least your inbox (probably) isn’t full of it (yet), which is more than can be said for indie developer and publisher Finji. CEO Rebekah Saltsman says that the studio’s inbox is crammed full of games made with AI, pitches written with AI, and…

It is about one hour to presentation time and Alexander Helliwell has decided to experiment. His mod—an attempt to convert Prologue: Go Wayback’s default temperate woodland biome to a scorching desert—was looking pretty slick last time I passed by: all dazzling sunsets and dry heat and, an added bonus, running quite well. Turns out that…

I’m rather excited for Starfinder: Afterlight, mostly because it’s the closest—beyond charming indie projects like Dawnsbury Days—I’m going to get to a fully-realised Pathfinder 2e videogame in the near future. It uses Starfinder 2e, but the base rules chassis is very much the same. I was also rather taken by its visual presentation. It’s clear…

I’ve used dummy RAM kits before. Usually, a pair of DIMMs that contain no memory chips is simply acting as a shell to match other functioning DIMMs in the remaining slots, often with RGB lighting to match. They’re hella satisfying, I must admit, but, ultimately, needless. That’s what I thought this V-color announcement was all…

At their core, sims are hedonistic little squirrels constantly meeting their needs one moment at a time without any ability to think through a sequence of actions. That’s by design, one Sims 4 developer says, but he always wanted sims to have a more thoughtful approach to their own lives when left to their own…

We reported recently that the US government may cap exports of Nvidia’s H200 chip to China. But for that cap to be meaningful, China would need to approve imports of H200 in the first place. According to multiple sources, that has now happened. Both Reuters and the Wall Street Journal report that Chinese authorities have…

Charlie Cox, an actor best known for his work as Matt Murdock otherwise known as Daredevil in Marvel’s TV series Daredevil has recently made his way into the world of videogames. He voiced Gustave, a major part in one of last year’s most successful games, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He’d made it clear a few…

There are just some things that lend themselves to being great villains. There’s snakes and Brits (aren’t they the same thing, aha!) but there’s also been the long-used theme of an artificial intelligence that gains sentience and then immediately realises that humans suck, and so tries to do away with us all. We’ve had infamous…
