The budget gaming laptop sector is booming, as the CPU and GPU gains of the last few years are trickling down nicely and you can get a very fast frame rate at 1080p for a lot less than you’d pay for something like an Alienware 18 Area-51. You’re not getting quite the same level of…
Kurt Kuhlmann, the longtime Elder Scrolls “loremaster”, hasn’t revealed why he left Bethesda in 2023 after more than 20 years—until now. His departure didn’t make headlines but it rumbled those who know the series best. Michael Kirkbride, who worked alongside Kuhlmann on Morrowind and Oblivion, wrote at the time that “Kurt was the best writer…

However, redditor de_Tylmarande recently posted a potential fix—a homebrewed mod that skips a DLC check, which is said to massively boost performance. They claim to have…

Mchose, you’ll be pleased to hear, is not a Scottish garden products company, a new and particularly rubbery burger, or an unintelligible rapper you’ll despair of The Young People liking, but a Chinese manufacturer of computer accessories including keyboards, headphones, and the most enormous wireless mouse receiver I’ve ever seen.
