Elden Ring Nightreign finds a new way to victimise players as Nightfarers accidentally fight 2 bosses at once: ‘They were convinced I was just being dumb’

by

Elden Ring Nightreign has been infested with a few bugs for some time, and I’m not talking about the Sentient Pest. I’ve encountered a couple of issues that prevented teammates from pulling off rezzes, and I’ve even seen one of the map bosses disappear from my sight, despite it clearly still being there and managing … Read more

Google begins legal action against BadBox 2.0, ‘the largest known botnet of internet-connected TVs’ affecting more than 10,000,000 Android devices including *checks notes* picture frames

by

It’s not just your PC or your phone that’s a potential cybersecurity risk these days, as Google’s recent work uncovering an internet-of-things botnet proves. Researchers working in collaboration with Human Security and Trend Micro revealed the interestingly-named Badbox 2.0 botnet earlier this month, and now Google has confirmed it’s beginning legal action against its perpetrators. … Read more

Soulframe dev says launching in 2025 is now an ‘aspirational goal’, but you can play the fantasy RPG’s pre-alpha right now if you’re quick

by

Upcoming fantasy action RPG Soulframe was slated to release later this year, but developer Digital Extremes is no longer certain whether Warframe’s spell-slinging cousin will launch in 2025. Counterintuitively, though, you can play the game right now, with Digital Extremes opening up access to the pre-alpha (loftily dubbed “Preludes”) until the end of this weekend. … Read more

Peak’s latest beta patch ensures the cooperative climbing sim actually checks players are alive when they reach the summit of its mountain: ‘You no longer win if you die’

by

Cooperative climbing sensation Peak just dragged a new update to the false summit of its Steam beta branch, adding a couple of new items to the game and making some small but important quality of life changes.

Asus ROG Azoth X review

by

Asus has been on a tear with its gaming keyboards lately. I’ve tried most of its recent gaming keyboards, from the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless to the compact Falchion RX, and I’ve liked pretty much every single one. You’d expect me then to shower the ROG Azoth X with the same praise, but … Read more

Keep this to yourself, but a BIOS with a theoretical 2,001 W power limit exists for this absurdly overbuilt Galax RTX 5090 D

by

The Galax RTX 5090 D HOF XOC Edition is an interesting graphics card. For a start, as an RTX 5090 D GPU, it’s only available in China. It’s got a ridiculous name, a ridiculous shroud design (is that a literal crown?) and it’s been overbuilt to the nth-degree for overclocking purposes—and now evidence suggests that … Read more

Don’t scroll away! The best wireless gaming mouse is now the cheapest it’s ever been at less than $75

by

A lightweight mouse is excellent for twitchy gameplay and clutch kills in multiplayer shooters…but you won’t catch me doing much of either. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a spot of being put through the wringer in Ghost Runner or more recent multiplayer hits like Marvel Rivals—I’m simply not very good at them. It’s … Read more

I am now slightly obsessed with Uncle Bot, a Chinese robot in people clothes that’s rapidly becoming a social media sensation

by

This robot being tested in China runs frighteningly well 😬 pic.twitter.com/xI8YVqgyNDJuly 11, 2025 Ordinarily, I’m not one to jump on whatever the current social media/viral sensation happens to be this week, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. A poster on Chinese social media site Douyin uploaded a video of a humanoid robot running … Read more
