This lovingly ludicrous keyboard is a sad reminder of when Google at large had a sense of humour
Is this a piss take? Okay, this is definitely a piss take. Google Japan has posted a YouTube video showcasing the new Gboard Conveyor Belt Version. What we are talking about here, people, is "a keyboard whose keys are delivered straight to your finger tips." Literally.
Blueair InvisibleMist Review
The Blueair InvisibleMist is a premium evaporative humidifier, positioned below the larger Blueair DreamWell in the company's lineup, and is designed for medium-sized rooms like bedrooms or small living areas. It uses an evaporative wick-and-fan system to add moisture to the air and includes features such as a built-in humidistat, automatic humidity control, and app support.
The biggest upgrade I’ve made in 2026 is this cushion for my arse, thanks to the memory crisis
In short, I've been sitting on it.
I am here to save us all time by determining which of our most-played videogames would be more efficiently completed if you had a gun
If there's one thing I know about the age of information, it's that none of us have time for anything anymore, nor the attention spans to see them through. If I'm not getting a constant jitterbug hit of dopamine every two seconds from my doomscrolling, am I really awake? Don't answer that. I don't want to think about the answer to that.
Chiptune Mozart is really good
As someone who follows the game music scene closely, I am constantly on the lookout for interesting takes on NES classics. One of the best I've found in the last year has been Chips 'N Cellos, an artist who arranges classical music in the iconic style of Mega Man. The NES sound palette's fuzzy percussion and squeaking melodies are a perfect match for Bach, Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Dvorak, it turns out.
AOC jumps on the 1,000 Hz IPS gaming monitor bandwagon but this time with 0.1 ms pixel response
I reviewed the world's first 1,000 Hz monitor just the other day, a refresh rate that would have seemed barely comprehensible a couple of years ago. Now here comes another, this time from AOC. Pretty soon, no doubt, serious esport types won't get out of bed for less than quad-digit refresh rates.
Hisense HAP0825TWD Review
The Hisense HAP0825TWD is a dual-hose portable A/C with an inverter-controlled compressor. It's the direct replacement to the older Hisense HAP0824TWD, and is otherwise identical in terms of design, with the same advertised capacity of 8,000 BTU/hr. Beyond that, it comes with a remote control to make settings adjustments, though it's also Wi-Fi enabled so you can operate it remotely via a smartphone app. There's Google Home and Amazon Alexa integration for making voice commands too.
Can you tell which of these images has been injected with DLSS 5?
I swear, it gets harder as you scroll down.
Gears of War: E-Day review in progress — Good shooting, but the campaign’s a slog
Gears has never felt better to play, or more creatively stagnant.
Arc Raiders’ is taking no prisoners when it comes to cheaters with permanent bans becoming the new normal: ‘No warnings. No second chances’
Embark is really pulling out all the stops for Frozen Trail.
Meta’s Muse mascot makes my skin crawl
I hate the new mascot for Meta's Muse AI assistant. The company unveiled the fluffy creature, as well as the Tamagotchi-esque Muse Charm device it will call home, (plus a VR headset that isn't really a VR headset) during its yearly Meta Connect conference last week.
The greatest RTS unit of all time, determined by democracy
Make your vote count.
I did every expedition in Arc Raiders and all I got was this t-shirt
I quite like it, though. The final expedition skin—at least for now, as Embark works out what it wants to do with the system—is pretty snazzy. It even has a cape. We won't see the new character prestige system until 2027, but even as someone who's taken part in every expedition, I'm glad it's getting some much-needed changes.
This new AMD APU is rumoured to be the chip that will power the long-awaited Steam Deck 2
As Final Fantasy 7 fans will know, it's 'Gainsborough' because 'Aerith Gainsborough'.
I have driven myself mad with Amazon’s gaming mouse price-per-gram score
You know, I'm something of a rodent scientist myself.
Our Fallout fanatics share their most controversial opinions
We’re probably not getting a new Fallout game until well into the 2030s, but that’s no reason to stop talking about them.
$30 extra for early access?
$30 extra just for early access and some cosmetics? I was a little taken aback to notice that the Gears of War: E-Day Premium Edition is $100, and all it gets you on top of the $70 regular edition is five days of early access starting October 1 and some skins (a "Bravo Squad Signature Weapon Pack" and five seasonal "customization packs"). I suppose this isn't really unusual today, when some games sell $60 skins, but I've gotta wonder who's biting on this kind of thing. It's gonna be on Game Pass in a week!
Henry conquers Kuttenberg
Coming tomorrow, I write about summoning an army (using mods) to conquer Kuttenberg in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For Wenceslaus!
I want to hang out in Deadlock’s New York so bad, man
Don't mind me: I'm just seething over not being able to actually hang out in Deadlock's occult New York for real. As Elie noted earlier today, Deadlock's latest update made its map even more arresting, fleshing out Valve's accursed big apple with new district stylings and reworked lanes.
Valve says Deadlock is still too unfinished to release publicly, but has hero cosmetics and new game modes in the works
A new development update leaves us with more questions than answers.
