The Grand Theft Auto series has taken us to many corners of the United States, giving us somewhat satirical glimpses into a ridiculously violent, weird, and exaggerated world. But it’s been 13 years since GTA 5 was released, and a lot has changed since then. So much has changed, in fact, that Lester’s voice actor…
Natalie Vock, a Linux developer for Valve, has recently taken to their GitHub with a simple fix allowing rigs with less VRAM to run games better. Turns out applications in Linux will hog all the resources they can get, though if you have an Arch-based distro with an 8 GB card, things are about to…
Do Hugh like it? It’s been a long time coming, but Capcom’s Pragmata is finally – finally – right around the corner, launching on 17th April 2026. After going hands-on with the game a few months back (and you can do the same thanks to a free Switch 2 demo right now), we had a…
The Minisforum Atomman G1 Pro has sat on my desk now for about two weeks. Happily bimbling away, running benchmarks, stress tests, and going through all manner of arduous rigamarole that we require these mini gaming PCs to endure in our pursuit of testing excellence, (write that down, it’ll be in the company call later)….
If there’s one thing that’s been consistent about Linux, it’s that when there’s a new release of the kernel, it’s done without fanfare or fuss. The same is true about the version system used: We’re up to version 7.0 now, but that doesn’t mean it’s a whole new thing, just an update of the last…
Seventh Heaven and Croft Manor will have to stay dirty for some. FuturLab has announced that two free DLC packs for PowerWash Simulator — the first, not the sequel — are being delisted next month. Those of you who haven’t snapped up the Tomb Raider and Midgar Special packs, based on the Tomb Raider series…
Task Manager is a piece of software you almost only have to open up when something is going wrong, and its creator, Dave Plummer, knows this well. As detailed in their latest YouTube Video, “If the system feels sick, if an app is hung, if the machine is gasping, Task Manager does not get to…
Part of my hardware fiend origin story involves watching the anime Serial Experiments Lain at far too young an age and being haunted by its prescience ever since. The total amelioration of digital and physical worlds aside, I still daydream about customising my login screen to look more like the fictitious OS from the show—though…
Crimson Desert is a game with an incredible amount of variety—in my preview before the game launched, I called it a combat sandbox, and have been comfortably vindicated ever since by the ingenuity and style of the game’s playerbase. I’ve already seen clips of master grapplers and archers clowning on Pywel’s ne’er-do-wells with its intricate…
Starfield’s recent Free Lanes update has brought changes large and small to Bethesda’s somewhat-maligned space RPG, with one of the biggest being how the game’s NG+ mode works. To talk about that we’ll need to briefly cover the game’s ending, so: spoilers ahead. Obviously. The main story quest of Starfield involves collecting weird space artifacts…
