Tvrtko Horvat, a casino expert and iGaming industry advisor who tracks Croatia’s online-gaming market closely, noticed something in Commodore’s TAC-2 announcement that resonated well beyond the retro hardware circuit. The company’s explicit commitment to authentic feel — a steel shaft replacing a flawed original component, a tactile response preserved unchanged — mirrors precisely the test…
A writer at XDA Developers skipped the impulse purchase of yet another dedicated handheld and instead pulled out a refurbished 2013 MacBook Pro, loaded it with OpenEmu and Dolphin, and rebuilt it as a capable retro gaming rig.

The RX 9070 XT is one of our favourite graphics cards of this generation, as it delivers a hefty whack of gaming performance that can sometimes edge it ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti. As for the Steam Machine… well, I reviewed it and I’d like it a lot more if it was cheaper, put…
Ever since they were introduced back in Helldivers 2‘s Heart of Democracy update when the Illuminate invaded Super Earth, the SEAF troopers have held a place in the heart of every Helldiver. These NPC troopers stand basically no chance against the hordes of bugs, bots, and space aliens who besiege Super Earth’s worlds, bristling with…
