Mullet MadJack, the latest title from Hammer95, hit Game Pass in early March and has since held it down for the boomer shooter genre on the jam-packed subscription service. Mullet MadJack is a game that thrives on linear action — a throne that most games have since abdicated. While most shooters nowadays offer tremendous customization, loot, expansive worlds, loot, endless updates, loot, and other “forever-game” mechanics, Hammer95 wants you to...
Pocketpair has announced that the next major update for its hit creature-collection game Palworld will be a crossover event with Terraria — which, apropos of nothing, is something Nintendo would never do with the legally distinct (or is it?) creature-collection game Pokémon. The update, titled “Tides of Terraria,” will be released this summer. Pocketpair didn’t reveal much about its collab with Re-Logic’s 2011 indie smash in its press release. Instead,...
Personally, I slightly lose interest above 240 Hz when it comes to monitor refresh rates. Of course, I hung up my competitive shooter aspirations a decade or more ago. But if you want to be really, truly competitive, you can't have too many hertz. Which is why the new Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 is big news. It's the world's first 500 Hz OLED gaming monitor.We've seen 500 Hz panels before,...

The stream will be hosted on YouTube, and will center on series creator, writer, and showrunner Tony Gilroy and star Diego Luna, though other guests from the show will also be present.

Forget about your feeble 140 DPI, 1,000 nit, 4K OLED monitors, Samsung has just announced a new OLED panel with 5,000 pixels per inch capable of 15,000 nits and beyond 8K resolution. Oh, and it measures just 1.4 inches across.It is, of course, aimed at VR headsets, hence the teensy proportions. Samsung says it will also run at up to 120 Hz and hit 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut. If...

AI is an initialism I'm hearing multiple times a day lately, and usually only with a 30% hit rate of being used for the right actual thing. LLMs, such as ChatGBT and DeepSeek, are constantly in the news while we talk about putting AI in everything from our gaming chips to our schools. It's easy to dismiss this as a pop-culture phase, just like uranium fever gripped the glove in...
"I'd enter the national lottery but the odds are just too good." If this sounds like you, I've got good news: Now you can purchase a new high-tech kind of lottery ticket with even worse odds of mining a bitcoin than you will get for winning your country's lottery. Truly we are living in a future, indeed.Tom's Hardware explains that the Lucky Miner SOLO-LV02 is a USB stick that's only...
AI might be king of the tech zeitgeist, but a little further down the road, just out of sight, quantum computing is growing. As a technology, AI is a lot easier to understand and far more tangible than quantum computing. We see it all the time, be it a standard update to our device, or as another LLMs horribly viral attempt to create art. Meanwhile in 2025 we celebrate 100...
Open world survival RPG Kenshi can be cruel, especially in the early hours. As our reviewer put it back in 2018, "basic survival plans can be easily derailed by a city guard who plants drugs on you then demands money you don’t have, or by finding yourself deep in a region inhabited by vicious alien giraffes."The tough, uncaring world is part of what makes Kenshi so great, however: you're not...
