OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has been speaking in Washington this week at the Capital Framework for Large Banks conference, and he’s had some worrying things to say about the interaction between AI and the job market. Speaking to the crowd during a fireside chat with Federal Reserve vice-chair for supervision Michelle Bowman, Altman seemed…
It’s with precious little pleasure that I sit here and try to find a new way to say ‘the games industry has had a rough couple of years’ without cannibalising my own work—if you’ve been following along, you already know the score. Mass layoffs, studio closures, and (most recently) a whopping 9,000 layoffs at Microsoft,…
We wouldn’t HATE it if he was correct. Yes, we already reported a little while back that well-known YouTuber, NateTheHate, has suggested that a Nintendo Direct is incoming sometime in and around July. That’s this month! Speaking on his YouTube show, Mr TheHate (hope we got that right) had said that: Read the full article…
‘Stinger’ flies into action tomorrow! Stinger, an early arcade shoot ’em up from Seibu Kaihatsu, the developer of the 1990 vertical-scroller Raiden, is set to be rereleased tomorrow (July 24th) across Nintendo Switch & PS4. Taking the form of a simple side-scroller, the old arcade game is a title that originally debuted in arcades back…
We’ve had it all with keyboards by now, really, haven’t we? From mechanical to Hall effect and optical, knobs and dials, touch panels, custom artisanal keycaps, and everything in between. So what else could we add? A blurry font, of course! That’s the whole idea behind the Higround Basecamp 75+ Blur, as its name subtly…
Peer to peer = lessen your fear. We reviewed Obsidian’s excellent Grounded back when it released on Switch last year, giving it a 7/10 and remarking that it was really only the game’s performance on the console that held it back from a much better score. Indeed, Grounded, when it’s running well, is perhaps one…
What are your memories of the Amiga? Today marks a very special occasion for Commodore Amiga fans — the 40th anniversary of Commodore’s initial unveiling of the first-ever Amiga computer (otherwise known as the Commodore 1000). It was on Tuesday, July 23rd 1985 that Commodore first unveiled the eagerly-anticipated computer at the Lincoln Center in…
For those pro moments. Elgato has announced that its latest 4K-capable capture card, the cunningly-named Elgato 4K S, is 100% compatible with the Switch 2 – and it’s available for purchase right now! (Thanks, Engadget). The 4K S, which is also the most budget-friendly card in Elgato’s range, coming in at a price of $159.99/£149.99,…
You skid to a stop against the cold cement wall, and bang on the locked metal door of the safe haven. Hurried footsteps penetrate through the sound of the rain, growing louder with each passing moment. Surely, it wasn’t supposed to be locked at a time like this. Shaking the icy water off your cold-numbed…
I love cool collaborations as it’s often the key to delivering some of the funkiest looking tech and peripherals around. Or sometimes the worst ones. Razer is one brand known to deliver a little of each with stylish and cute collabs like the Kuromi collection and bright gloriously ugly ones like the gear themed after…
