Marathon doesn’t make the best first impression with its beginner Perimeter map, and I think that’s part of the reason why some people bounced off it during the Server Slam. It’s not bad, by any means, but there’s a lot of dead space and relatively simple POI encounter design. It’s not Marathon at its best,…
It’s been 20 years since Garry’s Mod launched on Steam, and it’s hard to think of a bigger success. The physics sandbox is the top-selling PC exclusive on Steam, is still one of the platforms most-played games daily, and even holds a Guinness World Record—it’s the “Most Liked Indie Videogame on Steam.”That’s not exactly how…
Even the most casual of PC users will surely know by now that the whole computer market is under considerable pressure from the global shortage of memory.

Though a lot of work is put into customising PC cases, keyboards, and even GPUs, the humble side panel is surprisingly overlooked, given the real estate. I suppose this makes some sense, as glass is designed to be looked through, but a gorgeous stained glass-style makeover has convinced me we need more tempered glass customisation….
Fortnite: It’s pretty popular. And it makes a lot of money, sure, but it costs a lot of money too: Server infrastructure alone probably costs, well, a lot, and Epic is also kicking out money to Fortnite content creators—a lot of money, in some cases. It adds up! All of which is to say that…
DLSS 4.5 may have been with us since January of this year, but one of its most interesting features, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, is finally coming to Nvidia app beta users on March 31. The update boosts the top frame gen count for RTX 50-series GPUs to 6x, being made up of five AI generated…
Few things show off a modern graphics engine better than a lush forest, and The Witcher 4 looks to be stuffed with them. The highly-anticipated, Unreal Engine 5-based game has dazzled in the trailers and graphics breakdowns to date, and now Nvidia has announced it’ll be using a new RTX Mega Geometry foliage system to…
Late last month, Anthropic refused to remove AI autonomous weapons and mass surveillance safeguards when the US government asked it to do so.
