Remember when, as a child, you boasted about something you were really, really good at, then got called out on your skills and had to sheepishly retract? Awkward, wasn’t it? Spare a thought for poor Google Gemini, then, which confidently boasted it was fantastic at chess before making excuses when it learned more about its…

We currently live in the era of good videogame adaptations, I know, it’s weird. There’s Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, or Jack Black’s magnum opus, A Minecraft Movie. All of which don’t just bring awareness of the games they’re based on, but also encourage people to discover more of these worlds by actually playing them, although I’d…

Claiming Blue Archive codes is a great way to get extra items and sometimes even Pyroxenes you can use when recruiting new characters in the angel and demon-battling tactics game. After all, Pyroxenes are the premium currency for Blue Archive, so you’ll need them to purchase recruitment tickets and just generally pull for new characters…

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one trying to get their head around the new Destiny 2 gear tier system. Not only is Bungie introducing armour set bonuses and completely revamping armour stats and archetypes, it’s also adding a new tiered gear system for weapons and armour, compartmentalising the loot you get into five different…

The United States’ Defense Department has announced the award of a $200 million contract to xAI’s Grok, the chatbot most recently in the news for declaring itself “MechaHitler” and going on bizarre rants about anti-White oppression. What could go wrong! The news came alongside xAI’s announcement of “Grok for Government,” a toolset that lets agencies…

While better known for making some of the best gaming keyboards around, Keychron has also been steadily moving up the charts with its mice, such as its excellent M5 vertical or its gaming-focused Lemokey G1. For the past few weeks, I’ve been heavily using the 8K polling rate version of the Keychron M7 Wireless, and…

As Europe’s summer heatwave smolders on, a novel way of tracking the record-breaking temps has emerged, namely crashing Intel Raptor Lake CPUs. That’s according to a Firefox developer at Mozilla (via Techspot). The implication is that the exceptionally high ambient heat currently hitting parts of Europe is enough to push 13th and 14th Gen Intel…

To celebrate Frostpunk 2’s budding modding scene, 11 Bit Studios is hosting a contest to find the best mod around, alongside mod.io. There are a bunch of prizes and a ton of time for contestants to make something really special, as the submission deadline is August 22, and the winners will be announced on September…

Oblivion Remastered’s first couple of patches have been, shall we say, a little underwhelming. Some bugbears have been tinkered with, but player performance woes still abound and players (and most importantly, I personally) still have a bunch of quality-of-life fixes they’d like to see implemented, even if they’re running the game’s 1.2 patch, currently in…

Xbox controllers are still some of the most-used gamepads for PC gaming, and for good reason. They’re affordable and the quality is pretty great for the price. So this one will likely apply to more than a fair few of you: Microsoft has shared that some people on the latest Windows 11 Insider build “are…
