A developer has vibe-coded a new ReShade add-on file that offloads the DLSS Neural Rendering workloads to a second GPU, almost negating the otherwise massive DLSS NR performance hit. Given the original DLSS 5 shots we saw when Jen-Hsun first showed off the feature around GDC and GTC in the Spring were running on two…
Hello, and welcome to another episode of ‘I’d do anything for an Nvidia RTX 5090 at MSRP, but I won’t do that.’ This time, ‘that’ is hopping on an international flight from the UK to Seattle, Washington in the US, so I can buy a 50-series card at PAX West. Nvidia’s self-described GeForce Evangelist Jacob…
“The Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon soundtrack has always been a deeply influential work for me”. Barry “Epoch” Topping, one of the developers behind the shoot ’em up Birdcage, has just released a new album featuring original arrangements of songs from the N64 classic Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

Tarnished Edition, that is. The latest UK Charts data is in, and we have a few newcomers this week. Most notably, Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals has performed admirably, entering the charts at number 3. It falls just behind Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which expectedly sold exceedingly well on PS5, with Switch 2 making up…
When Cookie Clicker and Candy Box both released in quick succession in 2013, I remember them being received mostly as a joke, or else as an amusing parody of “watch numbers go up” RPG gameplay. Then something weird happened: all my colleagues became fixated on Cookie Clicker. So did I. Lots of people on the…
The early access RPG Entropy is a very different beast to its developers’ previous work. Dread Delusion was a shockingly good homage to first person RPGs like King’s Field or The Elder Scrolls, while this new game is distinctly JRPG-inflected, nailing a lot of the feel and intangibles of something like Final Fantasy 10 or…
One of the many things making this feel like a particularly dumb epoch to be living through is the way the US government has taken to using videogames as a tool for self-aggrandizement and disseminating its pro-war and anti-immigration messages.
