Every time I use my laptop I get that pins and needles feeling in my hands. It’s like a cactus constantly pricking me. Turns out it’s this Dell XPS 9370 I’ve worn through the palm rests, and now I’m just being stabbed by carbon fibers. In hindsight, it is perhaps a bad… pic.twitter.com/cA30b2Tr1ASeptember 1, 2026A user on X reported feeling pins and needles in their hands whenever they used their...

Nobody likes game delays. Sure, a delay is temporary and suck is forever, as Gabe Newell once said, but it still chafes. But sometimes a little extra development time can go a very long way. In a new interview with the NoClip podcast, immersive sim maestro Harvey Smith shared one such story about Deus Ex, explaining how it leveraged some extra post-production time to give a much bigger role to...

What's that sound I'm hearing? Could it be the sound of five rings? Well, no, because that's not the kind of rings Musashi wrote about. It's the sound of a desperate bit of wordplay constructed to lead into a post about the launch times and release date for Onimusha: War of the Sword. Musashi's the protagonist of that one. That's the joke. I'm doing my best out here.If our Wes...

PUBG remains one of Steam's most-played games, which makes it all the more surprising that PUBG Studios and publisher Krafton haven't made more attempts to milk it over the years. PUBG: DED NET might be the biggest yank of the udder to date though, revealing an entirely new spin-off roguelite FPS set in the '90s. And if you didn't know the game was set in the '90s, you sure will...

Some players came away from Onimusha's demo worried that the game would be too easy, a concern I've addressed in-depth based on my own time with the game. The good news is that I think the challenge level is well-judged for most people, and Onimusha does have a hard mode.For those who hoped to jump right into the hardest possible difficulty from the main menu, though, I've got some bad...

We're long past the days of assuming the Steam Deck can comfortably handle the new big-budget action game of the moment, but here's a nice surprise: Valve's handheld is not a bad way to play Onimusha: Way of the Sword.It's not quite the optimization darling that Resident Evil Requiem was earlier this year, but it's much better news than Monster Hunter Wilds or Dragon's Dogma 2. After testing Onimusha in...

I had no trouble finding vendors to offload Coen's endless supply of low-value pilfered junk in Blood of Dawnwalker, but it took a few days to figure out how to sell silver. It makes sense that silver is considered contraband under vampire rule, so you have to find the right vendor to foist it on and complete a quick quest before adventuring south. Where can you sell silver in Blood...

Finding Vrakhir blood in Blood of Dawnwalker might trip you up a bit if you're looking to unlock new abilities and generally mess about as a creature of the night. While you acquire most skills in the tree naturally as you drink blood and just generally be a vampire, some specific skills only become available when you "drink Vrakhir blood" and it's not clear exactly how. Below, I'll explain where...

Finding Witchcraft manuals really helps make Blood of Dawnwalker's human combat a lot of fun. These hexes can summon a murder of crows, set enemy blood ablaze, or even protect and reflect against a single instance of damage. The catch, however, is that you'll have to track down skill manuals to unlock them. I'll run through where to find them all below and provide a list of all the Witchcraft...

How time worksTime-sensitive quests are marked with a clock 🕑 in your quest log.There are eight time segments each day (and eight each night).Quests that use up time have an hourglass symbol ⏳ and number to indicate how many segments they use.⚠️ Getting caught stealing will waste four time segments with the guard.⚠️ Be careful about learning skills at shrines during the prologue; some use up time to unlock.Full prologue...
