Brookhollow Park in Grounded 2 is full of old, stinky food that’ll quickly kill you if you’re not careful. I’d know, because I died climbing inside a foul trash can in the Signals and Stashes mission. To counter the poisonous stench, you need to find stinkbugs, since these creepy crawlies drop stinkbug parts and gas…
Grounded 2 is full of odd crafting materials, such as household items, or even seeds that you can repurpose into handy gear. One of the most important is blueberry leather, since it’s used in vital upgrades like the Omni-Axe and lots of tier two armour, including the Ladybug and Northern sets that you’ll likely want…
With PCs being ever more capable and expensive, lots of people are using their rigs for more than just gaming. Video editing, offline rendering, and generative AI are great ways to make a little extra on the side and use your computer to its fullest. However, these also need lots of RAM, more than games…
The UK’s Online Safety Act does, on the face of it, seem supremely flawed—for one, you can get past some of its age verification requirements with a picture of Norman Reedus. Or by just grabbing a VPN. Detractors state the act isn’t fit for purpose—not just because it’s straightforward to bypass, but because of the…
Online game store Itch.io plunged a swathe of devs into uncertainty last week when, in the wake of pressure from its payment processors, it frantically deindexed all adult content on its platform from its search and browse pages. In effect, devs woke up without warning to a world where they suddenly couldn’t make money from…
On Friday, the UK Government rolled out new measures first introduced with the Online Safety Act 2023 that requires services to verify users’ ages to access certain content. Over the weekend, a petition emerged calling for its repeal. Today, said petition has been signed 387,330… 387,331… let’s just say nearly 388,000 times and counting. But…
Intel’s Lunar Lake mobile chips (shown above) actually have decent gaming chops. Which is why news of a significant graphics upgrade in Intel’s next-gen Panther Lake CPUs is so intriguing. According to a shipping manifest spotted by X user X86deadandback, Panther Lake sports 12 Xe3-spec graphics cores. That’s 50% more than the 8 Xe2 cores…
As is the case with all good things, the first time I heard the ‘leak’ of Tyler, The Creator’s ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ was on TikTok. A ‘club banger’ in the style of Avicii or even The Chainsmokers, it’s not only noticeably shallow, but very much unlike anything else by Tyler, The Creator. That’s because…
If there’s one common aspect that ties all types of heavy metal together, it’s got to be the sheer energy that it carries. Nothing else quite gets your pulse pumping, neck snapping and bowels banging like high-tempo thrash, grindcore, or a slab of doom metal. Adding the tech coolness of robots to it all should…
Grow a Garden loves rolling out an update with coinciding mutations for each and every crop, and the corrupt mutation is the next one to unlock if you’re making your way through the newest update. But unlike windswept, wet, and moonlit though, the corrupt mutation is slightly more challenging to get for your crops. Fortunately,…
