Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is entering its «early access» period tomorrow—players who pre-order it'll be able to get on a boat to Tural before anyone else, though it's more of a formality (and a chance to get a shiny EXP earring) since the cut-off for the pre-order rewards is July 2 when the game releases.
If you’re deciding on the right size of gaming keyboard for you then Razer may have an answer. Enter the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%, which aims to pack in all the gaming prowess of its larger sibling into a much smaller footprint. This newer iteration comes in smaller than tenkeyless, but a touch taller and wider than 60%. It gets a lot right for the most part, even if there’s little that’s exciting about this revision.
You've likely been made aware of Shadow of the Erdtree's step up in difficulty, by now: A saga of thrown controllers, a «Mixed» Steam rating (which, at the time of writing, has just barely nudged into «Mostly Positive») and a hard enough final boss that one marathon streamer had to take a live therapy session on Twitch.

I consider myself a middle-of-the-road soulslike player. When it comes to Elden Ring, I'm one of those stubborn people who doesn't use spirit ashes or summons, and that self-destructive streak persisted for all of Shadow of the Erdtree. I like a good two-handed sword. I don't (usually) wear a shield. I am a fan of a well-timed dodge roll—in summary, a Tarnished of simple pleasures.
Razer is commonly associated with some of the best gaming keyboards on the market, but it’s also a brand synonymous with the higher end of the pricing spectrum. That’s where we find the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL, which seeks to pack in all the must-have premium features for the esports aficionados. For the most part, it justifies its high-end price tag and delivers some of the smoothest quick-fire tweaks with a stunning design that makes it easy to recommend.
At the Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC) 2024, Intel gave us a particularly interesting glimpse at what could be the future of chip and interconnect design. The Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) chiplet integrates a Photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) with an electrical IC. The chiplet was packaged with an Intel CPU and shown running live data.
