An obscure RPG’s moral dilemma about the ‘ethical’ human meat alternative propping up a zombie society is one of the best side quests I’ve ever played, and Steam achievements show only 13% of its players have even seen it

The indie RPG Dread Delusion is one of my favorite recent games, and I’d chalk that up to ambition. I’m not just talking about doing an Elder Scrolls-style open world with a small team, but how it grapples with capital-B capital-I Big Ideas. It’s a setting where an “apostastic” inquisition persecutes belief and worship, a…

Corsair announces Vanguard 96, a line of 96% gaming keyboards with Hall effect switches and, for some reason, Stream Deck integration

Our Jacob really dug Corsair’s MAKR 75 DIY keyboard, but wasn’t entirely sold on either its price or lack of Hall effect switch compatibility. Well, the company’s just announced another swish line of wired gaming keyboards featuring not only Hall effect switches, but also a tiny screen. Because why not, I guess? The Vanguard 96…

With the launch of the new 500+, Raspberry is hoping to attract even more computing hobbyists to the fray, though what one modder has managed to achieve already suggests that…

How to get Complex Root in Borderlands 4

Sniper rifles in Borderlands 4 aren’t my cup of tea, but like the similarly definition-breaking Katagawa’s Revenge sniper, the Complex Root is simply too good to ignore. This legendary sniper shoots a slow-moving mesh of…energy bolts? It’s a barrage of projectiles that twist and turn as it moves, giving it the potential to hit larger…

Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it’s, er, going about as well as you’d expect

City of Heroes is one of my favourite games, and I’ve played enough MMOs to have very specific opinions on quest journals. I actually interviewed the hardworking fans behind its officially-sanctioned private server, Homecoming, and three of its original developers who were there for its shutdown. It’s still unmatched as an MMORPG, and I desperately…
