While you might be sick of all the live service games that swarmed us last year, there's every chance you've played at least one one for a substantial amount of time—Fortnite, Destiny 2, Apex Legends—these games are popular for a reason.
Modern graphics cards use lots of power and all of it is turned into heat. So if you're paying many hundreds of dollars for a powerful GPU, you'd expect no expense to be spared on the cooling system. It turns out that for many Nvidia RTX 40-series vendors, the expense is being spared and cheap, poorly applied thermal paste is leading to scorching high hotspot temperatures and performance degradation over time.
In the early stages of Destiny, the original game and not the sequel, players made a wonderful discovery. There was a cave in the Old Russia area of the open world where some sort of glitch made enemies respawn constantly, with higher drop rates than usual. Destiny being Destiny, word soon spread, and the cave would be constantly encamped by multiple player groups, annihilating anything that poked its head out, and watching the colourful little loot globs scatter everywhere. You'd sit there shooting for minutes on end, then gleefully go on a little rat-run through the firing zone, engrams endlessly flowing into your guardian.
Astarion is something of a fan(ged) favourite in Baldur's Gate 3—well-written, sympathetic, complex and, if we're being honest, quite pretty. As part of Larian's utter landslide of awards last year, voice actor Neil Newbon won top dog at the Game Awards for his performance. A landmark role by any metric.
Windows updates often feel like a necessary evil, but an evil nonetheless. Who among us hasn't been waylaid by a huge update package download—or chosen the «update and shutdown» option at the end of a long day only to sit watching a painfully slow percentage indicator lurch forward? Now Microsoft has announced it's changing things up, with «checkpoint cumulative updates» that promise to speed up the process considerably.
Intel has been using a hybrid design for its Core processors since it launched the 12th Generation in October 2021. Since then, we've had Core i5, i7, and i9 chips with P- and E-cores, plus low-end processors with just a couple of P or E-cores. With very little fanfare, Intel has launched a range of Raptor Lake CPUs (via HardwareLuxx) for the embedded market that have no E-cores in them—they're 100% P-cores.

An upcoming indie puzzler takes on the complexity of circuits by reducing them to familiar puzzle pieces and simple math. In Electrogical, set to release this year and with a demo out now, you'll place pieces on the board to form a chain that adds, subtracts, divides, and multiplies to reach a set output—but the pieces you have are fixed in shape and rotation, the boards are weird sizes, and you might not need every part you have to succeed.
