I love the subreddit r/whatisit for a couple of reasons. It’s a fun way to let people use their extremely niche knowledge to identify the unusual items people come across, but mainly it’s chance to see paranoid parents and insecure partners snoop around in their loved ones’ stuff and find what they always assume are…
When Blizzard said Diablo 4’s latest season was all about “becoming the boss,” I don’t think it meant they would become so powerful that they would control the stability of its servers. But here we are with yet another build that is so over-the-top the game can’t keep up with it. This time it doesn’t…
World of Warcraft’s getting its own player housing, which’ll be dropping either on—or just a little before—the release of its next expansion, Midnight.

More specifically, Cryo Archive runs from Friday to Monday, while Ranked runs from Saturday to Tuesday each week. This tight schedule, plus overlap between the two modes, has already proven to be divisive….
The Pinocchio soulslike Lies of P got an easy mode alongside the release of Overture DLC last week, an entirely uncontroversial move that riled up absolutely no one. But the DLC also apparently introduced a major difficulty spike in the Legendary Stalker mode—previously the game’s default—and it’s bad enough that game director Ji Won Choi…
Capcom has two Monster Hunter games for the Nintendo Switch planned for this year those games are Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. In a New Year’s message, Monster Hunter Rise producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Yasunori Ichinose stated that they have “brand-new information” to share at the beginning of…
Well, this is something you don’t see every day: With Arc Raiders now three weeks from launch, developer Embark Studios has lowered the price of the game in several regions on Steam “to ensure a fairer experience for everyone.” You’ve probably noticed that our coverage of games typically includes pricing info in US dollars, pounds,…
YouTube channel InsideAI has managed to pull off quite the stunt: encouraging an AI robot to shoot its presenter. The video, titled “ChatGPT in a real robot does what experts warned,” is a wider look at the issues involved in the search for superintelligence, the involvement of such systems with the military, and how various…
