Did you know digital games store Fanatical is doing comic and book bundles these days? They’re worth keeping an eye on—this month, for example, they’ve done a whole series of really excellent value horror comics deals that I’ve enjoyed taking advantage of. But to keep this on the topic of games, there’s one bundle in…
Earlier this week, reports came out claiming that 183 million Gmail passwords were exposed in a data leak. Google has since come out to dispute this claim (via its X account), attributing “inaccurate reports” to “stemming from a misunderstanding of infostealer databases.” As spotted by Bleeping Computer, this report was picked up by major outlets,…
Thanks to the memory demands of AI and key manufacturers reducing production, DDR4 RAM prices have been steadily rising over the past few months. However, this rapid rise has now turned into an overwhelming surge, and in the space of just one week, DDR4 modules have almost doubled in price. We were shocked to see…
Mushrooms are the coolest. Not quite flora, not quite fauna, they are a secret third thing—isn’t that neat? Many types of fungi have also been observed to form symbiotic relationships with the root systems of plants. Sometimes mutualistic, sometimes parasitic, this root-meets-fungus network is called ‘Mycorrhiza’—and a similar web of mycelium may one day come…
When you think of video games as a tool to teach kids English, horror probably isn’t a genre that immediately springs to mind. You might think of something a bit more narrative-heavy, or perhaps any sort of puzzle game to drill in simple tasks. But no, a fifth grade English class in Niigata prefecture has…
Microsoft has lost an awful lot of goodwill in recent times. Over the last two years, it has laid off over 10,000 workers, closed iconic studios like Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, and raised the prices of Xbox Game Pass and its consoles multiple times. It seems that Microsoft, in light of this, has had…
As I have written time and time again at this point, The Sims 4 is a mess. One that only gets more complex with every kit, game pack, and expansion that gets stuffed into its spaghetti code. EA has been making a more concerted effort to address the multitude of bugs and glitches since it…
Most games will go through a couple of growing pains as the community gets last-minute nerves ahead of release. Some may be wondering whether said game is worth the price point, while others may start realising it might not be all there. But for Arc Raiders players, it looks like a big worry was its…
It’s said that a good thing never dies. Chip giant AMD certainly thinks so because earlier this month, it stealthily launched two new series of Ryzen processors. Except they’re not exactly new, as the chips are simply old laptop-based ones from 2017 and 2022 that have been given a fresh lick of paint, new names,…
Since its much belated release, Nvidia’s DGX Spark mini AI box has enjoyed a mixed reception. It’s technically interesting, but super expensive and arguably not that powerful, for the money at least. Now no lesser an authority than John Carmack, he of OG Doom fame, reckons the little gold box of AI power has thermal…
