SK hynix, one of the ‘big three’ memory manufacturers, just shared its 2026 second quarter financial results, and its record-breaking revenue of 79.3 trillion won (roughly $55.6 billion) isn’t all good news. Despite continuing strong demand for memory from the AI industry, SK hynix has found itself missing investor expectations. Poor lamb. SK hynix was…
There’s something defiant about the trend of deliberately ugly immersive sims. It is a statement: mechanics are king and beauty is a distraction, so here is something we scraped out of the vents on a PlayStation 1. I admire it. Not the graphics; the graphics look awful. I admire the sentiment. The latest in this…
Keychron, the gaming peripheral creator, has developed a name for itself as a defender of open-source software over the last few years. It has an entire ‘Open Source Design Project‘, where it posts access to files to customise its keyboards, and it even uses ZMK and QMK, which are open-source software for keyboards. Open-source mouse…
Final Fantasy 14′s latest patch has dropped, and it’s introduced the North Horn—the next and final step in this expansion’s “exploration zone”, which has been a much-needed boon to the feeling of jolly cooperation I’m trying to get out of an MMO. This expansion is an entirely new map, filled with new Phantom Jobs to…
It’s not often we see serious innovation in air cooling; many merely spin on tried and tested formulae. That’s not the case here, however, as the Cooler Master V8 Ace 3DHP is offering something new to PC builders: 3DHP technology. I first glimpsed the 3DHP (3D Heat Pipe) tech in a backroom of Cooler Master’s…
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls held a beta the past weekend, finally giving PC players a chance to play Sony’s superhero tag fighter before launch (and a second opportunity for those on PS5). It was short but sweet, reaching an all-time peak of 33,233 concurrent players on Steam alone—just beating out Street Fighter 6’s beta player…
While we weren’t too hot on the 2025 soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, it was a hit for Chinese developer Leenzee and publisher 505 Games, reaching five million players across all platforms. However, a report from the Chinese publication Gamersky earlier this year claimed that the game’s director and producer, Xia Siyuan, had been fired from…
I’m surprised it’s taken 13 years to happen, but Final Fantasy 14 is finally bringing Final Fantasy 7 to the MMO in a big way. Upcoming expansion Evercold is getting an entire raid series dedicated to the remake trilogy—that’s 12 whole fights spread across three tiers which will trickle in over the course of Evercold’s…
Final Fantasy 14 may be an MMO, but it’s certainly never sacrificed the series’ talent for excellent storytelling. It’s stuffed with incredible worldbuilding, a cherished cast of characters, and heart-wrenching story beats that’ll get players shedding a tear from just hearing a few notes from a song that played during a cutscene. It is, however,…
Subnautica 2 might be a chill survival game, but the journey to May’s early access launch was filled with drama, legal battles and accusations of sabotage. Just recalling it all is giving me a massive headache, which I’m now going to give to you. In 2025, Krafton ousted Unknown World’s leadership and delayed Subnautica 2’s…
