I am suffering, dear reader, from a Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice deficiency. Despite having a massive impact on the industry at large, with soulslikes copy-catting more mechanics from Sekiro than their namesake, snagging timed blocks and posture staggers, FromSoftware chose to stick to what it knew. It has officially been more than five years since…

With a few generations of AIO liquid coolers under its belt, Be Quiet! has done pretty well in balancing cooling, aesthetics, noise and price, usually focussing on low noise and RGB-less designs.

But this time we’ve got an alternate history of the turn of the millennium, an old Earth city to explore, a bunch of new pals…

Boxing, and boxing games, are in a strange place at the moment. In the sport itself, we have a high-ranking member of the Saudi Arabia Royal Court clicking his fingers like a Roman Emperor at the Colosseum to create the fights that fans have long been wanting to see. On the games front, meanwhile, we…

The theory posits that humans on the internet are relatively rare, but bots responding in a manner just like…

Dear reader, I have some sorry news to report—Balatro is taking over all of gaming. No RPG, no strategy game, no charming indie hit is safe. If you have a videogame, you are getting absorbed into Balatro, until all is rendered poker, praise be to the Almighty Blind. This is the part where you imagine…

Designed with cloud computing security in mind, AMD’s Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP), which is an incredibly long and serious name to suggest how complicated it is, has recently seen a rather worrying security breach, involving RAM and a Raspberry Pi.
