California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country’s most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It’s the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either…
Valve is currently celebrating Steam’s 20th anniversary in the only way Valve knows how: massive discounts on all of its games, and bad jokes. The studio posted a neat timeline crammed with trivia about the platform, which begins with it getting in a quarrel with itself about what the first third party game released on…
Starfield has an infinite supply of quests, so it’s been keeping us busy lately, seeing us cosying up to all the factions, teaming up with pirates, meeting historical celebrities and doing job interviews at ethically questionable corporations. But not all quests are born equal, so we’ve put our heads together to gather up our favourites….
The Hopetown settlement is one of many you can find in Starfield. While it’s not as exciting as places like Neon, it’s the home of Ron Hope (I kid you not), who is played by Bethesda’s most prolific voice actor. It also happens to be the place to go if you want to upgrade your…
Earlier this week, pizza chef Denis Fisher turned his breakfast into Chunks—an unappetising, but efficient food option from Starfield. Chunks are, as you might assume, chunks of food—processed cubes that’re about as appealing as they are inevitable in our eventually tech-swarmed world. Fisher made a valiant effort, but there was just one problem—the beans weren’t…
We’ve been giving Final Fantasy 14’s cosmetic store bigger and bigger passes as time’s gone on. Like most FF14 players, I’m grateful we don’t have to deal with loot boxes or battle passes or any of that nonsense—so what’s the harm in a $29.99 motorbike to grease the wheels now and then? We’re paying for…
Phanteks has responded to a lawsuit filed by rival peripheral maker Lian Li over alleged copyright infringement. Lian Li holds that Phanteks infringed on its patent for daisy-chaining multiple PC fans together with its D30 fans, which Phanteks has since denied. Phanteks says it expects “this legal matter will confirm there is no infringement.” “We…
We’ve been recommending the NeueChair as the best office/task chair for years, even since before I joined as overlord of PC Gamer’s hardware coverage. As I’d not had the privilege of trying out the chair for myself, however, I wanted to make sure that it was a recommendation I could stand behind. But I’m not…
AMD has itself a strong competitor on its hands with the Radeon RX 7800 XT. In fact at its current base price of $499 / £480 / AU$879, it makes the RTX 4070 look pretty pricey. For review I have the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7800 XT. I can safely say it’s faster, cooler, and…
10 years ago it was conventional wisdom that most popular Japanese games would never come to PC. Fast forward to now, and not only is it rare for a Japanese game to skip PC, but we’re getting deep cuts from the back catalogue too. Case in point: Rainbow Cotton was a Sega Dreamcast exclusive when…
