We got what I would call our first proper look at some Persona 4 Revival last weekend, showing iconic moments like: The Scooby gang falling into their first TV, Charlie summoning Izanagi for the first time, karaoke with Yosuke (pretty sure that’s new, unless I’m forgetting a Golden addition), and Marie being annoying in the…
Morality morphing was a big deal in the Fable games of old. Your character would, famously, actually change appearance to match how good or evil they were. Do a lot of murders and you’d grow horns and find yourself surrounded by flies. Help people out (or do a lot of murders but also donate loads…
To badly paraphrase two Billie Eilish songs, when the party ends, where do all of the big tech PCs go? There are a few places that hardware can end up, beyond simply adding to the world’s mounting piles of e-waste. For instance, one Redditor who works as an HVAC tech claims to have found a…
Exodus might have an uphill struggle escaping the shadow of Mass Effect. Archetype Entertainment’s sci-fi RPG immediately invited Mass Effect comparisons when it was first shown off, and those comparisons have continued and, if anything, become more obvious.

In the midst of the RAMpocalypse and the billions of dollars being thrown at AI, it’s easy to become blind to the fact that the use of machine learning can be highly beneficial in lots of different scenarios. Case in point: an update to an old AMD GPU Linux driver was created with the help…

It’s rare that, when I talk about layoffs in the gaming industry—be it videogames or TTRPGs—that I do so with sympathy for the company dropping the axe. Usually it’s down to short-sighted business practices or greedy, dollar-eyed acquisitions. Not so this time—at least, not directly. Paizo, the creators of Pathfinder 2e (which has stolen my…
A ruling from a German court has found that Google is liable for the claims made in Search’s AI Overviews. What is this? The consequence of Google’s all-in-on-AI actions? The case involves false claims made about two Munich-based publishers. Allegedly, Search’s AI Overview misattributed the questionable practices of another existing business to the plaintiffs, drawing…
Users of Windows 11 beta have had access to this for a while now, but with its latest OS update, Microsoft has brought its Low Latency Profile (LLP) to general users across the globe. By giving your CPU a brief kick up the pants when you fire things up, certain apps and tools will now…
