    Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Gets Its First Official Trailer, Arriving on July 9th, and Will Support Ray Tracing Effects

    I like that heroic launcher manages all my launchers aside from Steam on CachyOS. Makes it less annoying. I have never finished it either despite over 70hrs played. I keep restarting then get side tracked. The traditional combat system feels so stale to me as well. It's why I am doing a crazy...

    Halo Extraction Shooter Based on Cancelled Battle-Royal Spin-Off Could Be in the Works

    If they do it right, their track record says they won't, it'll be a hit. Mills and older zoomers grew up on Halo, it gives them warm feels. They will jump on board with a Halo based game that is not just nostalgia bait, doesn't crap on the Master chief's legacy, and is fun to play with friends.

    The FPS Review Weekender Roundup – April 25, 2026

    A few comments that add more flavor. What I am calling the D2 effect, happening on Amazon U.S. the largest online retailer here. It may be niche but it is already in the top 10 sellers. The D2 effect has propelled the 270K into the top 10 for the first time simply due to the D2 effect compare...

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    12th gen didn't go as bananas with voltage scaling and clocks. Why would you say that LOL? This could be a case of the board being the issue. We don't even know if the 285K is dead for certain. And we should always start with PICNIC. A dude on a forum called Overclock may have a dead CPU. He is...

    logic is flawed. Raptor Lake is monolithic, and there has never been a more vulnerable CPU generation to "excesses in voltage, heat, current etc."

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    Go home ASRock, you're drunk. I would test the 285K in another board, or send it to a friend who could. It may be fine, and the board's firmware is the issue.

    New Xbox CEO Reportedly Told Employees That “Game Pass Has Become Too Expensive for Players”

    New Xbox CEO Reportedly Told Employees That “Game Pass Has Become Too Expensive for Players”

    False dilemma fallacy. Our choices are not binary. We do not, and should not, choose either of these options. Voting with our wallets is our power.

    Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Is the Official Title of the Classic Game’s Modernized Remake, Which Will Feature New Characters and Stories

    This is timely as I'm playing Odyssey. BF is most AC players favorite entry in the series. An updated version with all the eye candy should appeal to most of them. If they can retain what made the OG so fun to play.

    New Xbox CEO Reportedly Told Employees That “Game Pass Has Become Too Expensive for Players”

    I bailed a month or so before the price hike. Played Indy Jones and a couple of other new releases, which made the monthly $15 worthwhile. After that there was nothing I wanted to play that I did not already own. Now that I am on Linux full time, microslop can suck it.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    AC Odyssey is aging like the best artsian cheddar. Playing on a 5800X3D 7900XTX combo maxed out on every setting that matters at 4K, with a 90fps frame cap on CachyOS, is a much better experience than when I played it back in 2018-19 with a overclocked 4770K through Ryzen 3600 and RX 580 8GB on...

    Bethesda Launches New Starfield “Free Lanes” Update, Which Includes New Features, Improvements, and DLC

    I too, did a play through at launch. It was bundled with the Hell Hound RX 7800XT in my son's PC. There were sections of the game I really liked. However, the copy pasta of so many assets got old fast. Main story was cheesy. I think the last time I was playing they had finally added the ability...

    Valve Could Ditch Using a Custom Processor for Steam Deck 2 in Favor of One That Might Outperform the PlayStation 6/Xbox Project Helix

    It was indeed the case going way back. But that was then, this is now. Enthusiast whale spending power has become a joke. Kaijus drive everything. Before things get better, if they do, we are going to get thoroughly ROFLstomped Godzilla style. As I would not expect DRAM and NAND prices to stop...

    Valve Could Ditch Using a Custom Processor for Steam Deck 2 in Favor of One That Might Outperform the PlayStation 6/Xbox Project Helix

    Lord Gaben as they call him, and Valve/Steam, are probably the most favorably viewed leader and company in the gaming space. Having their own branded hardware and OS is working out. Never underestimate brand power.

    Intel Pays 14.2 Billion to Buy Back Full Ownership of Ireland’s FAB 34 from Apollo

    Middle East is too spicy to keep facilities there as I see it. One missile strike on the facility there would be devastating. They will probably fully abandon the expansion project they halted in 2024. Maybe even move operations currently there to more geographically stable regions. Ireland is a...
