    SilverStone's Old-School Workstation Case Packs 15 Drive Bays for Unlimited Storage Expansion

    Whilst you're telling them off for mentioning plastic, can you please explain to them that 15 is very much not "unlimited". That word has a very clear meaning & it doesn't mean "a few more than most competitors".

    The Alters Studio Confirms AI Use After Community Backlash

    Perhaps a hot take, but why should a developer have to specify whether they used AI anywhere in their game? What should matter is whether it's distracting or makes the game worse in some way from a players perspective. If it's bad then the reviews should say so & should warn off further buyers.

    AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 & 470 "Gorgon Point" APUs Surface in Shipping Manifests

    I came here to say the same thing, this is standard marketing rubbish to confuse consumers into thinking they're getting "next gen" when in fact it's a very slight power efficiency gain at best.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Sets Record, Selling Over 3.5 Million Units Globally in First Four Days

    It does suck that you have to pay for the upgrades, but I don't think they're completely zero effort for developers. Some will do more than others ofc, but even the bare minimum probably still needs a few simple code changes, even if it's just to change the framerate target variable from 30 to...

    Nintendo Switch 2 Sets Record, Selling Over 3.5 Million Units Globally in First Four Days

    Oh for competitive play it'd be trash yes! But for a casual race with friends or family the latency might be just about acceptable. The various cloud streaming services have got latency down to acceptable levels so I'd imagine Nintendo could get close to that. Still definitely not for...

    Nintendo Switch 2 Sets Record, Selling Over 3.5 Million Units Globally in First Four Days

    Throwing in my $0.02, I got one day 1 since there was stock in my local Argos & first impressions were good with the bigger, better screen, better joysticks, better joycon connection mechanism, better performance. Second impressions shortly after were...so now what do I wanna play on it? I...

    Customer Discovers Hardware-less ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 Package - Micro Center Connects Backpack Scam to Supplier

    I'm super done with selling graphics cards by post. The odds of it being some douche trying to scam you are just so high now. I've had it happen twice & that's enough thank you.

    This Week in Gaming (Week 24)

    I've never heard of 4STORY, it looks like a WoW clone? I'm kinda intrigued, does anyone know much about it?

    This Week in Gaming (Week 23)

    Wow, £6.80 launch offer until the 20th! I've bought, will try later, it's gotta be worth £6.80 though!

    CD Projekt Red Believes Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Version is Superior to Past-gen Builds

    Ah good point! It's almost certainly that, so they're trained up ready for their next big game which will definitely have a Switch 2 port.

    CD Projekt Red Believes Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Version is Superior to Past-gen Builds

    I'm really confused why they bothered with this, are there really enough Switch 2 customers that haven't already played CP2077 on another platform, or who want to buy it & play it again, to make it financially worthwhile?

    Customer Discovers Hardware-less ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 Package - Micro Center Connects Backpack Scam to Supplier

    I think that's a safety thing rather than a theft thing! At least if the retailer has a check upon delivery they shouldn't be getting empty boxes into customer hands, though ofc that assumes no theft by retailer employees, which does seem less likely than at source...I think?

    Customer Discovers Hardware-less ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 Package - Micro Center Connects Backpack Scam to Supplier

    It's crazy to get this from an official brand supplying to an official retail store. I guess all retailers have gotta start opening all boxes or x-raying them or something!

    This Week in Gaming (Week 23)

    Trigger of Time does sound like it'll scratch that Portal-esque itch. The Steam page says it's only 1.5 hours long, which actually makes me more likely to buy it as I'll have a chance of actually finishing it! Assuming the price reflects the length...I'm not sure what is reasonable, there's no...

    Boxelware Launches First Demo of Aquapark Tycoon on Steam - With Pirates Aboard!

    I wonder how this compares to Planet Coaster 2's water parks. I've still not gotten round to trying PC2, but it looked pretty good so this game might have some stiff competition to beat.
