Despite being the most-hyped thing at Gamescom last year, topping Steam wishlists and raking in nearly 1.4 million concurrent players shortly after launch, Monster Hunter Wilds is struggling to pull in the sales even compared to its four-year-old predecessor. As reported by Eurogamer, Capcom published its most recent financial report earlier this week covering the…

Grokipedia, xAI’sAI-powered online encyclopaedia, is now live. Version 0.1 features an extremely basic white-text-on-a-black-background look and stripped back page layouts, plus more than 885,000 articles. But despite Elon Musk’s recent claim that Grokipedia “will be a massive improvement over Wikipedia,” much of the content seems to have come directly from it (via The Verge). In…

You need scrap for just about everything in Arc Raiders, whether it’s building a new crafting bench in your workshop, upgrading your weapons, or cobbling together the odds and ends you need for each run up to the deadly, bot-infested surface. The number of different scrap items will be so overwhelming initially that you’re more…

How to improve Football Manager. It’s a question both Sports Interactive and players like me have asked on an (almost) yearly basis for the last 20 years. So the answers should, by rights, be forthcoming and straightforward. It’s a series that eats up vast, greedy swathes of your time, and in the hundreds of hours…

Not only that, but they’re also required for the Trash into Treasure quest for Shani, the second quest you can collect alongside Clearer Skies.

Physicists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg have developed a new OLED panel technology with pixels measuring just 300 nm across. That’s a full order of magnitude smaller than the most diminutive existing light-emitting pixels, but the researchers claim…

As we’ve discovered time and time again, someone’s hatred for the classic videogame yellow paint rarely ever outweighs their need for it. The sunny signposting has become a universal language for guiding players through levels, but it’s also a regular point of contention in what some consider lazy game design. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director…

“You are what you eat,” the old saying goes, and it’s an adage that the Kroot are a lot more committed to than most. Among the crowd of iconic Warhammer 40,000 armies—your space marines, orks, tyranids, and more—these bird-like aliens are often overlooked. But I think they’re secretly the coolest faction in the game. They’ve…

One of Arc Raiders‘ best features is your bestest boy Scrappy, a friendly rooster that’ll scavenge for crafting materials while you’re busy. No matter how good you are, you’re bound to run out of items and scrap eventually, so Scrappy’s scavenging is invaluable for getting you back on your feet. But to train him for…

There’s no shortage of tools to get around Windows 11’s installation nonsense, and that’s for good reason. Some PCs can’t even run the OS without tweaking, and potential users may want to avoid having to make a Microsoft account just to use their own rig.
