Dear reader, while I do like Game Pass—it’s often a good deal when the lineup’s strong—I think you’ll agree when I say I’ve never enjoyed the experience of using the Xbox app. Microsoft can’t seem to cobble together a user interface that works after perfecting the concept back in the Windows XP days, and it’s…
One of the first choices you’ll make when booting up a new save in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is whether to use immersive mode, alongside the equally confusing canon mode and guided exploration. The name gives you a rough idea, but the goal of immersive mode is to make Shadows a more authentic experience when you’re…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows throws a heap of important choices at you right at the beginning of the game, some even with permanent changes. Before you decide whether you’re going to play in canon mode and immersive mode, you’ll need to pick how much you want the game to hold your hand. That’s what guided exploration…

Ghouls made their way into Fallout 76 earlier this week, and since then it’s mostly been positive. Regular players can now rely on ghouls to collect irradiated ore and venture into radioactive zones during events. But there’s a small issue that’s recently split the playerbase down the middle: access to ghoul camps can be a…
A new study has made the curious finding that memes with AI-generated captions are, generally speaking, found to score higher for creativity, humor, and “shareability” than those captioned by humans only, as well as humans in partnership with AI. The one bright spot: Humans did overall create the most exceptional memes. But not enough, fleshbags….
It has been exactly one year since we published news that Larian was done with Baldur’s Gate 3.
