The first Monster Train had great timing: It pulled into Steam a few months after Slay the Spire left early access, which was right when I was ready for a break from spire slaying, but was still in the mood for roguelike deckbuilding. And it was a lot of fun. Five years later, history might…
By inexplicable coincidence, the best videogames ever all seemed to come out when I was between the ages of 10 and 13. KOTOR, Oblivion—the list goes on. Scientists are presumably trying to figure out just what was in the water during that period, leading as it did to, objectively, the bestest and most important games…
AMD is reportedly in talks with Intel about the possibility of commissioning its fab business. Given American investment in domestic chips, this could be the type of win Intel has been looking for.

Intel’s new CEO Lip-Bu Tan conducted his very first earnings call with the usual roll call of investors and banking bigwigs yesterday.

Bethesda has released a big new update for Skyrim Special Edition that has managed the impressive feat of annoying players for two entirely separate reasons.
