Nvidia has just announced its financial results for the previous quarter, and as expected, things are going very well for the GPU behemoth. The company is almost entirely AI-focused these days—I know, tiny violins for us PC gamers—and in its earnings call, Nvidia EVP and CFO Colette Kress said that there’s still an awful lot…

WoW: Midnight’s hardcore raiders are on a gold treadmill, with a first-time clear of Mythic Midnight Falls costing around 87,750 gold in repairs alone

World of Warcraft: Midnight seems inclined, like its past couple of expansions, to be less demanding of entry-level requirements for Mythic+ and high-end raiding—there’s more ways to gear up a character solo than ever via activities like Prey, and there’s no mandatory Torghast-esque chores to tick off or borrowed power item to grind out points…

It’s my own fault for thinking Warren Spector’s new multiplayer stealth game adding singleplayer would make it the Thief successor I was hoping for

My first few hours in Thick as Thieves were a good time. It’s a first-person stealth game with lean buttons and maps that look like they were hand-drawn by someone named “Fingers” who sold them to you from out of his overcoat.
