“It’s a homage to my mum and my childhood”. Everyone remembers the first animated movie that scared them. For me, it was The Fox and the Hound — probably not the first movie in Disney’s canon that anyone remembers, but it was one of my brother’s favourites, so it was on regular rotation. Which means…
I just had a conversation with an in-game NPC that could easily appear scripted. Except it wasn’t, at all. I asked a question, the NPC answered, and all thanks to Nvidia’s ACE technology and Convai. You might have caught sight of Nvidia ACE in action during the company’s Special Address stream. It’s essentially a technology…
It’s all about options For the most part, the all-in-one space has been reserved for general purpose PCs. We’ve seen a few gaming oriented AIO systems, but they’re the exception to the rule. Now all of a sudden system builders from every corner are readying big size AIOs for gamers. We already told you about…
If your first thought upon considering AMD’s existing entry-level RDNA 4-based gaming GPU, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB, goes something along the lines of less is more, we have good news. AMD has quietly rolled out a new non-XT version with fewer cores, lower clocks and the same measly 8 GB of VRAM….
Digital pre-orders are now available. Vanillaware’s upcoming tactical RPG, Unicorn Overlord, might have been one of the more low-key announcements of the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, but with publisher Atlus releasing a new trailer today, we can confirm that it still looks stunning. Titled ‘Josef’s Guide to Exploration’, the latest trailer is unsurprisingly all about…
Gentoo Linux has kicked off its long transition away from Microsoft’s GitHub to Codeberg, an open-source git-hosting service run by the Berlin-based non-profit Codeberg e.V (via Phoronix). Which is quite an intimidating series of nouns, but here’s why the average Joe/Jane might find it interesting: Gentoo is specifically migrating away from GitHub because Microsoft just…
I’m not a scientist, but my understanding of the concept of carcinisation is that, in essence, all evolutionary roads lead to crab. You and me? Some day we’ll be crabs. Spiders? Crabs. Butterflies? Crabs. Total War: Warhammer 3? You better believe it’s on the road to crabdom, baby. In fact, in the case of that…
I’ve been in a horror FPS mood as of late, so classic shooter F.E.A.R. was a natural reinstall. It’s a gloriously simple, old-fashioned game that pits you, a member of the First Encounter Assault Recon unit of the United States military, against a deadly psychic operative named Paxton Fettel, who has gone rogue. You lock…
One of the things I miss most about the Apple II era is how much personality surrounded the machine. The Apple II was not just a computer you used – it was a computer you explored. You typed things into it, made mistakes, and discovered strange memory locations. Apple II users learned that a single…
I’m a comic book nut, but I stay away from Marvel Rivals to keep my blood pressure in check. I do love the radical, supremely over-the-top character designs that NetEase landed on for Marvel’s coterie of costumed heroes, though. You might be surprised to learn that the game used to be even more stylized—so much…
