Grab this 2TB WD Black mini SSD for Steam Deck at its lowest price so far this year
I recently ripped out my Steam Deck’s SSD and enthusiastically slapped in a WD Black SN770M 2TB mini SSD, and it’s easily the smartest thing I’ve done with it that didn’t involve tinkering around in desktop mode.
Tales of the Shire’s system requirements have me considering grafting a graphics card to a Hobbit’s bum
Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game is finally coming out this month, offering terrifyingly cosy Hobbitiness to us bumbling Bilbos. Its system requirements have just dropped, and they’re pretty reasonable.
In fact, its needs are so modest and homely that I’m wondering whether you might be able to run it on a Hobbit, provided you could find one in real life and staple some Nvidia – or AMD- branded plastic into the surface of its flesh. It’s ok, I’m sure Gandalf has a magic stapler that doesn’t produce excruciating pain if you fire it directly into a person.
Helldivers 2’s latest patch lets you impale baddies with flags, as the bots take aim at the Democracy Space Station
Fresh Helldivers 2 patch alert. This one’s patch 01.003.200, and it brings the latest in pointy flag tip technology, in addition to another round of weapon balancing. You’ll need that flag stabbiness too, as the latest Galactic War twist has seen the Automatons try to wrestle control of Super Earth’s space station.
Yep, stop trying to rename a city ‘Gun’ for five minutes, some stuff’s going down in HD2 that you need to be clued in on, even if its just so you can run around the room cheering at how much more effective your Flame Sentry‘ll now be.
I’m travelling this week, and I wish I’d ordered one of these power banks for my Steam Deck
One of the best things about my job is that I get to fly around the world and go to events, and while I’m off to Warframe’s TennoCon this week (and very excited about it) there’s always a bit of a panic about what to pack to keep oneself sane on a long flight.
ZeniMax Union say they’re fighting for staff left in limbo by Microsoft cancelling MMO as part of mass layoffs
As part of their mass layoffs earlier this month, Microsoft cancelled an MMORPG that was in the works at The Elder Scrolls Online developers ZeniMax Online Studios. Now, the union that represents a number of devs left in limbo by that game’s canning have issued an update about the process of fighting for their futures.
ZOS’ MMO, codenamed Project Blackbird, wasn’t the only game Microsoft pulled the plug on as they let go of around 9k people. Rare’s Everwild and The Initiative’s Perfect Dark reboot were also wiped out, with the latter studio being shuttered to boot.
Finally, a game about a boy who thinks he’s a tomb searching for a dead body to bury inside of him
The first thing that happened to me in the demo for The Little Tomb: The Maholova Club And The Search For A Dead Body was a stuffed horse on a spring telling me it knew when and how I’d die. Many such horses. You play as Kofun, a boy shaped like a keyhole tomb who is also sort of an actual keyhole tomb but also a boy who wants to fulfill his destiny as a keyhole tomb, namely by finding a dead body to bury inside of himself. He lives in a park with his mate Haniwa, who is a Haniwa. Haniwa’s secret is that he’s very good at calligraphy. Here’s some visual orientation in case you’re not caught up yet.
This Alienware Aurora 16 5060 gaming laptop for $1,100 is the best budget gaming laptop deal right now
Dell’s Black Friday in July sale has knocked the price of an Alienware 16 laptop down to $1,099.99, and while it’s not the perfect machine, it’s a decent price for a reasonably affordable mid-range gaming setup.
Open world wuxia RPG Where Winds Meet is having a city-sized playtest this month
You might remember Where Winds Meet as the open world Wuxia RPG that mixes scenes of exquisite calligraphy with scenes of hooligan sword masters subjecting blameless bears to sonic bombardment, paralysing whole gangs of chimney sweeps with chained Blink attacks, and getting chased by angry geese.
If you don’t, you can watch the below trailer or read Ed Thorn’s (RPS in peace) preview from 2023, in which he commented “I’m both excited to see more and a tad worried it could end up being a disjointed, overstretched mash”. Then you can consider signing up to the game’s next playtest, which runs from July 25th to July 30th.
