The Hexblade is king—anyone who’s been playing D&D since 2017 knows this, though Baldur’s Gate 3 players were only introduced to the Warlock subclass in Patch 8. D&D 2024’s now taking steps to dethrone it, as seen in June’s Unearthed Arcana rules—free playtests released to the public for balance passes. For the uninitiated, the Hexblade…
Rechargeable lithium-ion cells power almost every aspect of our portable lives, as they can be found in practically every smartwatch, phone, laptop, and handheld gaming PC. We use them constantly and rarely experience problems, but given how much energy they store, when they do go wrong, you need to get them replaced pronto. That’s exactly…
GSC Game World continues to juggle the patch process for four separate games in the wake of last May’s release of the Stalker Enhanced Trilogy—the uprezzed remasters of the original X-Ray Engine games—which left it not only firefighting the myriad issues present in Stalker 2, but also handling the various fan disgruntlements around the new…
The Blood of Dawnwalker has been announced as the next project from Rebel Wolves, offering an open-world RPG set in medieval Europe.

Over the course of the weekend just gone, a new bill was signed by the Governor of Texas. Hardly newsworthy, of course, but the legislation passed into law was that of the right to repair electronics—something that only six other states have done. And perhaps even more importantly, the decision was entirely unanimous, with not…
It’s impossible to deny the simple pleasures of a mech battler, suiting up and blasting other players in either a hulking tank or a nimble fighter jet. Amazing Seasun Games’ Mecha Break is no exception, though you’ll have to figure out its global release times before you can hop into the pilot’s seat yourself. Below,…
Brain Computer Interfaces have to be one of my favourite pieces of futuristic tech around today. These are wonderfully named pieces of kit that allow a brain to interface with a computer directly. BCIs work wonders in the medical community giving patients with even very limited mobility like locked-in syndrome the tools to communicate with…
