China-based AI startup DeepSeek caused the tech market to wobble earlier this week, as the release of its open-source R1 model led to mass sell-offs in tech shares. It seems Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang may have taken a personal hit from the fallout, equating to a $20.8 billion loss to his net worth. Nvidia was…
Look, we’ve all made mistakes. One New Year’s Eve, I accidentally drunk-texted a relative instead of an ex, and let me tell you, I’m still living that one down. AMD doesn’t appear to be immune to the odd ‘whoopsie daisy’ either, as it appears it’s accidentally released the source code for FSR 4 on GitHub…
Just one more heave, and I reckon Sisyphus will finally get that rock to the top of the mountain. Beyond Good and Evil 2—a videogame that I first got excited for when I was 14 years old (I am now 32)—inexplicably continues development. Not only that, but its team is hiring (via Eurogamer). If you…

Now, for the first time…
Borderlands 4 is out today, and it’s been very well received critically, at least by those sites who received pre-release code—a list that does not include PC Gamer. It’s a different situation over on Steam, however, where a whole lot of people are playing Borderlands 4, but the overall user rating is an ugly “mostly…
Making cool electronics is often a damn fiddly process requiring hand eye coordination at a microscale. This isn’t helped by the fact that components continue to get smaller and more complicated, thanks a lot Moore. The benefit of this progression in tech is we can make grander things in little packages. Some of which might…
The grim darkness of the far future is going to shine a little brighter this month, as PowerWash Simulator‘s latest crossover DLC will hit on February 27, taking you to the world of Warhammer 40,000. A trailer released today takes a good long look at the job of a holy tech priest of Mars seeking…
“This is all the validation I need”. In recent times, we’ve seen a flood of games being ported to consoles that they were never on back in the day. Games like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, GTA3, Virtua Fighter 4, and many more have been shown running on platforms which, once upon…
King of the Kenner. Following his retirement as President and COO of Nintendo of America, Doug Bowser has now joined the board of directors for toy manufacturer Hasbro.
