If there’s one kind of AI that’s most relevant to gaming, it would be the so-called ‘world model.’ This is a system that can learn to simulate real-world things, which might allow for ‘easy’ creation of realistic games. And that seems to have been on Elon Musk’s mind, as his xAI has been hiring Nvidia…
I think gaming PCs look pretty cool. I mean, I would. I write about them for a living, I’ve filled mine full of all sorts of RGB goodies, and I’m nearly 38 years old—which means I lost a sense of what was actually cool over a decade ago. For me, however, its the function combined…

But there’s something genuinely touching about the story of this RTX 5070 Ti, which arrived in a Brazilian workshop with a hole in its PCB, rendering it unusable….
It’s approximately *checks watch* one day until Windows 10 ostensibly gets the chop, so it’s a good job the Media Creation Tool is available for people to use to install Windows 11 and- oh, it’s not available?

Serious Sam 2 just got a meaty patch from the devs at Croteam featuring UI updates, graphical improvements, changes to the multiplayer, and bugfixes. George W Bush is president, and the subprime mortgage market can only go up, up, up, baby! Wait, no, sorry. It is in fact 2025, but all those things I said…
