If there’s one gripe that I’ve had with Marvel Rivals since its launch, it’s that everything is overtuned, seemingly intentionally by NetEase. High DPS means you need high, consistent healing to counteract it. If you’re not bursting an enemy down in a nanosecond, chances are they’ll get to cover and be back to full health…
Four years ago, Microsoft launched Windows 11 SE, a version of its latest operating system for “web-first devices” sold exclusively to the education sector. The heavily restricted OS wasn’t especially popular with students and IT technicians, so they might breathe a sigh of relief that Microsoft has set October 2026 as its end-of-life date. They…
You know that Family Guy bit where Peter does a local news segment called “What Really Grinds My Gears?” This is basically that, but for computers and videogames. I’ll give you one example up front: when you go to click a button, but the UI finishes loading just before your input registers and the button…
Whenever I’m about to declare that this or that has gone down the drain, I pause and ask myself whether ‘things these days’ are really worse than they used to be, or if I’m just glazing over the problems of the past to justify the vein popping out of my forehead today. Usually I have…
It’s easy to get lightly obsessed with upgrading PC gaming hardware, but if Linux developer Linus Torvalds is still on an old card, maybe I don’t need that RTX 50-series GPU just yet. As spotted by Phoronix, Linus Torvalds is still rocking an AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU in their rig, alongside an Intel i9…
When Intel re-entered the gaming graphics card market in 2022, there was hope that, at long last, AMD and Nvidia would have some real competition in the world of GPUs. Alas, it was not to be, except in the entry-level sector, but one new company reckons it has the goodies to make RTX 50-series cards…
Grow a Garden has rolled out yet another update, but rather than focusing on growing new plants and donating them to whatever NPC is lurking around the map, you now have to take your crops one step further. This time, you’ll have to turn your produce into a variety of different meals to feed Chris…
We’re just days away from Marvel Rivals Season 3.5, and with it comes a bunch of new stuff, including Blade, a limited-time event, and a ton of changes to competitive play, some of which may make matches slightly easier for low-elo players. There’s a long list of competitive adjustments in the latest patch notes for…
Peak decided to throw a little more chaos into its mountain climbing adventures last week, adding the ability to become a cannibal and eat your friends if you became slightly too hungry. The feature was met with a mixed response. Although a slightly troubling number of people were thrilled about their fellow scouts morphing into…
Brennan Lee Mulligan is making the ultimate sacrifice—tossing his budding American Girl Doll shoes career into the trash and stepping into the role of dungeon master for Critical Role’s next campaign, replacing 10-year DM Matthew Mercer for a spell. Alright, so, the American Girl Doll shoes thing was a Game Changer bit, but Mulligan stepping…
