In a move likely unsurprising to regular readers of this fine publication, Merriam-Webster’s word of the year is ‘Slop’ (via The Associated Press). In a blog post, the dictionary and reference book company stresses the fact this word was in fact chosen by its “human editors.” Merriam-Webster defines ‘slop’ in the context of 2025 as…
Another day, another reminder that the memory market is screwed, yippee. The storage market as well, actually, although the effects of the HBM and DRAM shortage have certainly been more visible than the effects of the NAND shortage so far. Now, new analyst commentary on Goldman Sachs research predicts—drumroll—a pretty bleak outlook on both memory…
It’s been nearly two years since I reviewed the ZSA Moonlander, and it’s still a keyboard that I rate very highly. Sure, it’s expensive and difficult to get used to, but if you can afford one and commit to its steep learning curve, I reckon it’s one of the very best ergonomic keyboards around. So…
If there’s a limit to Larian’s ambitions as an RPG studio, founder Swen Vincke hasn’t found them yet. In an interview with PC Gamer about the deeper consequences and “much higher” level of agency in upcoming RPG Divinity compared to Baldur’s Gate 3, Vincke didn’t hesitate for a moment when asked if they were feeling…

I need to figure out if Iridium Studios has been sending agents to scout me out for the last several months, because People of Note is a game that feels like it was designed specifically for me. Videogame musical? Hell yeah—I dug Stray Gods’ blend of musical theatre and visual novel—and a turn-based RPG to…
Did you know that Nvidia’s RTX 3060 graphics card was still available to buy new? Me neither. But it won’t be for much longer, according to reports. Board Channels (login required, via Videocardz) claims that the last new RTX 3060s will filter through supply channels in December, after which availability of the GPU will end….
If you were still thinking about finally upgrading your gaming setup with a new prebuilt or laptop in 2026, unfortunately, I have more bad news. Acer and Asus will join the growing list of companies passing on the cost of surging memory prices to consumers, which is expected to raise the price of both their…
Completing the Paving the Way quest in Arc Raiders requires you to find an ENELICA building, and no, before now, I had no idea what that was either. You can find one of these buildings on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Blue Gate, but it’s understandable, amidst dodging Arc and Raider bullets, that you might…
AI-generated voice ‘acting’—despite the fact I’ve never heard an example that hasn’t immediately made me less interested in a videogame—has still become more ubiquitous in gaming. Arc Raiders, by all accounts a dang successful videogame, uses it for text-to-speech lines. Speaking to PCGamesN, the voice actor for Baldur’s Gate 3’s Astarion, Neil Newbon (who knows…
