As we reported last month, AMD is working on a low-power, compact range of Zen 6 CPUs, which should be perfect for inclusion in laptops and gaming handhelds. If you’re wondering how it plans on doing that, it seems the answer is a collage of different Zen architectures from Zen 2 upwards combined. As spotted…
I am lucky enough to live close to some of the best plant shops I’ve ever had the pleasure to stumble into. I love taking my sweet time strolling around each one, looking at all the plants, succulents, seeds, and pots—all of which I could never dream of fitting into my small apartment. The best…
Alistair McFarlane, chief operating officer and director of Facepunch Studios, has left the company. McFarlane said in a message posted on X that July 30 was his last day at the studio, bringing to an end an 11 year career that began with a QA role and led him to become the executive producer on…

It seems like it was only yesterday we were getting leaks from the Elden Ring film set, and now you’re telling me Alex Garland and co have wrapped filming? Time sure does fly when you’re doing pretty much the same thing day in day out. We know that filming is over thanks to a now…

Not only had siege pathfinding somehow gotten even worse with the update, but despite having spent over 3,000 hours…
Another day, another step towards an AI dystopia. Google has just added a “fun” new feature to Google Earth—Nano Banana 2, the company’s image creation tool. All you need to do is click on the “create image” button, type in a prompt, and seconds later you’ll have a phony picture masquerading as a real satellite…
Sony is getting ready to end production of game discs in 2028, so it seems like physical discs are truly in the rearview mirror. But a recent report shows even buying a physical disc doesn’t give you a great chance of being able to play the game without a download. That’s according to Does it…
The Genshin Impact 7.0 livestream codes are here, and with them, our first proper look at everything snowy Snezhnaya has to offer. This is Genshin’s fifth full region added since launch back in 2020, but the home of the Cryo Archon holds significantly more importance than other regions due to the Traveler’s often fraught relationship…
