The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
Nvidia has announced the RTX 3060, which they’re billing as a successor to one of their best selling video cards ever, the legendary GTX 1060. We don’t know much about the exact specs yet. Only that it will feature 13 TFLOPs of shader performance. This should make it just a hair slower than the 3060…
Top Hat Games is fighting back after social justice activists demanded that Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story be censored over its suggestive themes. The game itself has been characterized as a mix of Cantonese folklore set against a cyberpunk background. A young woman, Mei-Lin Mak, is dragged into a supernatural horror, and begins to question…
Epic Games has responded to concerns over high CPU usage by its Epic Games Store app. Director of Publishing Strategy Sergey Galyonkin was notified of the issue and has since clarified that it’s a bug with the current version of the software. “We’ve identified the issue and [are] currently testing the fix,” Galyonkin said in…
The Epic Games Store, aka that place you get free games every now and then, has been a point of contention for PC gamers for a couple years now. Now it seems the issues over data gathering are once again coming back to haunt them. Reddit user Neoncarbon noted that his AMD Ryzen 7 5800X…
Deck the halls with great games. We’ve faced a great many challenges this year. Despite a pair of colossal stinkers, 2020 actually ended up being a curiously strong year for gaming overall. It took a long time to really nail down which games met our best of the best. There’s just so many to chose…
The fall of CD Projekt Red is a bit of an unprecedented moment in the history of gaming. Within the span of a week, they went from one of the most loved developers in the world, to one of the most despised. The company seems hell bent though on ruining their reputation, as they’ve made…
There was a time when I was quite interested in Apple’s product lineup. As you can tell from a lot of the earliest articles on this site. Nowadays, not so much. Frankly, their stuff became dull as dishwater after Steve Jobs passed. This was also around the same time their computers started to morph into…
It’s a bit of an understatement when I say nothing good has happened in the last 12 months. Thanks to the CCPVirus and good ol’ government incompetence, we were trapped inside, jobs were lost, there were riots in the streets, and the price of Oreos went up. You can say this year has been nothing…
Every year, it has been my tradition to play through Grim Fandango on Día de los Muertos. It seems odd that one could build an entire game around a Mexican holiday that’s rather obscure in the rest of the world. Or rather was back when the game was released in 1998, some 20 years before…
In news that should surprise absolutely nobody, AMD’s new Zen 3 processors have been quickly scooped up by scalpers. The blazing fast CPUs created quite the stir when they were announced back at the start of October. They finally shipped to retailers this week. Though unfortunately, you’re not likely to get any. Most retailers are…
