Remember Ubisoft’s live-action Assassin’s Creed TV series that it’s been cooking up over at Netflix? No? Well, don’t beat yourself up about it; I’m pretty sure Ubi’s forgotten once or twice too. The studio was first chatting about its grand plans to make an AC TV show in 2017, in the afterglow of the (not…
Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation and the driving force behind much of the company’s unique philosophy, has had a much less public-facing role in recent years. Newell still turns up for things like the Steam Deck launch and official documentaries, but much of his time now is spent on one of his (several)…

A great look, easy setup process and even a hanger to pop your coat on. What can’t the Flexispot OC3 do? Well, I’m sorry to say the answer is: leave my posterior without pain after a long day of work. The kind of pain that popped up isn’t something I spotted immediately. In fact, it’s…
NetEase has retracted some changes it made to Wolverine for Marvel Rivals season 3, changes that made him stronger both on his own and as part of a team-up with the new hero Phoenix. All of which, predictably, made life hell for Vanguard players. “Time to temper Logan’s rage and slightly reduce his survivability,” a…

Nick found some pretty nice post-Prime Day prices on GPUs earlier today. But only relatively speaking. You’re still looking at over $700 for a ’70 Ti-class Nvidia card. Ouch. And one of the reasons why is surely the dominance of TSMC when it comes to manufacturing chips for the likes of Nvidia, AMD and, latterly,…
Nothing brings to light the spookily anarchic nature of the international order more than cyber warfare. It’s happening all the time, in that ethereal realm of bits and bytes—poking, prodding, testing.
