You don’t need me to tell you the memory crisis is looking bleak, but, well, the memory crisis is looking bleak. So bleak, in fact, that Gigabyte has just unveiled a new series of AM4 motherboards. Yes, the socket we thought we’d be done with by now. The B550 X Series, as Gigabyte calls it,…
Discord, I love you, but oh boy do I hate you at the same time. I’ve been using the platform for eight years now, and in that time I’ve seen a lot of changes. A number of them have been pretty good, too: Video calls and screen sharing in 2017, threads in 2022, profile biographies…

My father is the person who got me into gaming, and my first genuine introduction to interactive entertainment (not including the Donkey Kong II Game & Watch) was on his beloved Atari ST, which turns 40 this year.
