Johan Andersson is preparing for a game launch. He’s done it before. The director on the imminent Europa Universalis 5 and studio lead at Paradox Tinto has been making history for more than a quarter of a century; if you’ve played one of the studio’s sprawling strategy sims, he’s almost certainly touched it. Odds are…
8BitDo has a knack for gear I’d broadly describe as ‘neat’. From pleasant aesthetics, to solid ease of use, to the recent addition of tidy charging docks, my desk is currently covered in tech from the company. And that’s for good reason. My 8BitDo Retro R8 isn’t as competitively viable as the Logitech I swapped…
With AI taking the lion’s share of the tech industry’s attention, it can be easy to forget about quantum computing. For a long time we didn’t really know whether quantum or AI would be first to make ripples, but AI’s giant waves quickly put that question to bed. Progress with quantum has been ticking along…
I grew up watching films from the aptly named Disney Renaissance—I’m talking The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Mulan—and then got to enjoy some bangers like Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and Atlantis as I got older, so this style of 2D animation is a pretty formative part of my childhood. So I was ready…
Among the many other wins and stumbles of the recent Borderlands 4 patch is a revelation that actually has me shocked. You know that one shield, the one that was super horny? Well, turns out it wasn’t meant to be that way. Alright, context: In Borderlands 4, The Cindershelly is one of those gag items…
I kinda like ‘ugly’ hardware. The first time I saw the Edifier G2000 Pro, that was exactly what I thought. It’s an angular set of speakers, with see through panels on the side to blast RGB light into your eyeballs. It feels very 2000s to me, in a way I haven’t experienced with any of…
Reports earlier this week suggested that the Trump administration was planning to deploy a wave of federal agents on the streets of San Francisco as part of a large-scale immigration-enforcement plan. The news was met with widespread condemnation and plans to protest from the local community. Trump has since posted on his social media platform,…
God, no wonder my little podgy bloke in RV There Yet? smokes so much. I’d be caning a pack a day too if I had to direct a rickety old motor home over canyons, barely bridged together by planks of wood, while being chased down by a blood-thirsty bear. That’s basically the gist of what…
Clippy did nothing wrong. I know, you’re all thinking my nostalgia has gone too far, “it looks like you’re trying to write a letter” is circling through your brain, and you’re just glad that sentient paperclip is gone for good. Well hold those thoughts, because Clippy is back. In the most depressing way possible. Microsoft…
Borderlands 4 dropped a pretty hefty patch today, and before I tell you how Gearbox has screwed the pooch, I do want to be fair and at least highlight the positives while I roll my sleeves up: Sort filters for your inventory now persist instead of auto-setting to “by manufacturer”; Your discovered locations persist when…
