It's about ensuring the "game experience" is at its best. Nintendo's new GameChat function opens up new ways for Switch 2 owners to communicate with friends and families online, but the early showcase of other player screens showed some choppy framerates. It turns out this is an intentional decision to ensure GameChat saves system resources for the games themselves. Switch 2 hardware director Takuhiro Dohta told GameSpot via translator how the team didn't want GameChat's required resources to ge...

Meditite, the meditate Pokémon from Hoenn, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Meditite can be shiny in Pokémon Go! If you are a Meditite family fan, then I’m sorry. Despite being a usually-powerful Mega Evolution, Mega Medicham is… bad. There’s no reason really to invest in it, as it’s outranked by...

It's not a Switch 2 exclusive. Hollow Knight fans have been waiting over five years for Silksong and the game has over the years bounced around from being a leading Xbox release to now a Switch 2 "2025" release.

You got a...banana! You got a moon...sorry, a banana! Nintendo looks to be continuing its trend of not revealing the developers behind key first-party IP releases for the Switch 2 generation.

And it wants to keep those players "engaged". Nintendo's future is very much focused on the launch of the Switch 2, but as we already know it will also be continuing to support the original system (at least until 2026). The company has already locked in some new Switch titles for next year and during a chat with The Washington Post, Nintendo of America's president Doug Bowser acknowledged how not everyone is necessarily ready to make the jump to Switch 2.

After essentially inventing the battle royale genre with PUBG, Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene’s next project is, unsurprisingly, an ambitious one. It’s so ambitious, in fact, that he needs to release three smaller games in the build up to test and refine some of its core pillars. The first is Prologue, a survival game that challenges you with surviving in large, randomly generated, but realistic worlds. Set for an early access launch within the next few months, you can jump the queue and join th...

Rumors circulated today that robotaxi company Waymo might use data from vehicles' interior cameras to train AI and sell targeted ads to riders. However, the company has tried to quell concerns, insisting that it won't be targeting ads to passengers. The situation arose after researcher and engineer Jane Manchun Wong discovered an unreleased version of Waymo's privacy policy that suggested the robotaxi company could start using data from its vehicles to train generative AI. The draft policy has l...

At the time of publish, that Ultra 5 Intel model is not listed, but the Ryzen 5 one with the AMD chip appears to still be available for purchase. In a follow-up post, the company said that...

Half-devil does sell.

Yes, I did this for a bit of lowbrow wordplay.

Despite factory production lines often being painted with a boring brush, they can in fact be rather fascinating. Mesmerizing, even. When gamified in the likes of Satisfactory, Shapez 2, and Factorio, they become even more transfixing, addictive, relaxing, or a mixture of all three. Well, here comes another challenger in this factory game arena, and it’s looking incredibly slick, versatile, and willing to make big changes to keep players happy. This is Modulus, and it’s just dropped its first ev...
