    A Troubling Trend Is Growing as PC Hardware Manufacturers Cancel Orders Only to Repost the Same Product at a Higher Price

    I've tried 2 Zotac (a 4090 and 5090) cards in recent years and both worked out for me but it took decades of folks that I personally know who had good experiences with them before I was willing to take that chance because I too felt there was something cheap about them.

    Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) free on Epic Games Store until 1/29

    I just thought this looked interesting and kind of funny from its description. Graphics are not half bad either. "Grand Theft… Horse Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting...

    Fable Reboot Is Set to Arrive in Autumn 2026, Continuing Its British-Humor-Styled Approach as a Fairytale, Not a Fantasy RPG

    So far I've got a good feeling about this one but we'll just have to wait and see. I only ever played the first, and didn't finish but that wasn't the game's fault. I had it on the original Xbox and was never that into playing things on it but I do remember enjoying it.
