Rory Norris, Guides Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: playing way too much Borderlands 4. This week I’ve been: continuing to play way too much Borderlands 4 and waiting for Battlefield 6.

It’s odd, I think, that so few videogames focus on the tender process of repair. Restoration is satisfying in a way almost nothing else is. Taking something broken, shattered, discarded and, by careful work, returning it to purpose is inherently pleasing, like you’re reinstating a tiny bit of order in the world. I reckon that’s…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claims that China is “nanoseconds behind” the US in terms of AI technology and chipmaking. During an interview on the BG2 podcast, a tech and investment focused bi-weekly program, the CEO of Nvidia echoed a sentiment similar to that of comments he made back in May of this year about how…

A new declaration from all 27 EU member states lays out an “urgent need” for a new and improved EU Chips Act. Essentially, Europe feels like it’s fallen behind in chip production and design, and it would like to see a concerted effort from the European Commission to regain ground. “To secure and strengthen our…
Did you know that there are just 15 days until the end of Windows 10 support? That gives you just over two weeks to make the move to the accursed Windows 11, whether that be simply pressing a button in settings or going to the horrid lengths of upgrading your PC so Windows 11 will…
After a decade of uploads, Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry is stepping back from the adventurers’ life. In a new video, Curry—who’s amassed over a million followers and gotten her own character in The Elder Scrolls 6 (whenever that happens)—said she’s just grown tired of it all, and “I am no longer going to be uploading…
“The year is 2035,” reads the official description for the next Call of Duty. “The world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6.” It’s strongly suggested that you grassy knolled the president, but it’s best not to dwell…
