This is March (Image credit: NPC Studio) 🎂 Birthday: Spring 16🔨 Occupation: Blacksmith❤️ Loves: Perfect ores💢 Dislikes: Flowers, forageables So you want a little rivals-to-lovers arc with the prickly blacksmith? No judgement, I too came of age at the height of the tsundere tsunami so I’m not surprised that March has become by far the…
Cinder City, the upcoming “open-world cinematic third-person shooter set in a fallen near-future Seoul,” popped some eyes earlier this year when it came to Steam recommending 64GB of RAM. That turned out to be a mistake, but the minimum requirement is still 32GB, which is a lot—more than the majority of respondents to the most…
Every few years or so I find myself idly wondering whatever happened to Midnight Club, Rockstar’s arcade street racing series. I quite liked Midnight Club 2 back in the day, although I fell away from the series after that because, in fine Rockstar fashion, subsequent games weren’t released on PC. The series as a whole…
Baldur’s Gate 3 is—my god—three years old at this point, but it continues to do numbers. I don’t mean player numbers, though god knows it keeps doing those too, I mean that it keeps generating stats. How many deaths, how many murders, how many deployments of a weapon named “Poo-Scraper” in combat—that kind of thing….
Last week, Valve finally fixed a longstanding issue with users not being able to access local network game transfers, and all was right with the world. Well, not really, as it has now fixed even more problems causing that issue. But this time, it might be done… hopefully. In a discussion board announcing a Steam…
You ever get the feeling that a game has been made, if not just for you, then for a small cohort of absolute freaks of which you are a proud member? That’s the feeling I got when I encountered tabletop RPG 10,000 Swords Against Heaven, from author and game designer JK Saavedra, on social media….
Endless Legend 2 seriously impressed me when it launched in early access last year. And now it’s poised to escape its development shackles and appear fully formed, as the 1.0 launch now has a release date. On September 17, you’ll be able to begin your conquest of Saiadha in earnest. And if you dipped in…
Noctua is pretty good at this whole cooling thing. It takes one swing at a liquid cooler and nails it first time. To be fair, it’s not done it alone. Noctua developed the NC-LC1 atop of a high-end liquid cooling platform from the company that literally invented liquid coolers, Asetek. Nevertheless, it’s a potent combination,…
It feels like the AI industry is getting all the cool stuff right now (not that it necessarily knows what to do with it, but I digress). Besides hoovering up all of the RAM and system storage it can get its mites on, data centres tend to be where we’re seeing technological advancements in memory….
xAI has been at the centre of ethical and legal disputes over the last year due to the 69 mobile turbines it erected in Memphis to power AI data centers, and the environmental impacts of all that tech. Now, in accordance with an agreement with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, SpaceX and xAI have…
