44 years later, Atari’s making a new Lunar Lander game-

Whisper it, but decent things are once more happening at Atari. OK OK, it’s got a bizarre interest in the blockchain (though hardly alone in that) and dreams up hotels that will never exist, but under the stewardship of CEO Wade Rosen the onetime colossus is gradually remembering it used to be more than a t-shirt logo: the recent 50th anniversary collection the perfect illustration of why.

A theme of Rosen’s tenure has been returning to the back catalogue, either for remasters or in some cases new versions, and now here we are with the announcement of a new game based on an arcade cabinet from 1979. Lunar Lander was Atari’s first vector graphics game and came from a decade-old lineage of early sims all about, well, landing on the moon. That’s the whole game: y…

Are 16 cores in the new Ryzen 9950X sufficient for gaming- ‘There’s no physical reason we couldn’t do more than 16 cores,’ says AMD-

In a Q&A session, after the Zen 5 and Ryzen 9000 series announcements, AMD was grilled on all things AI, data center, and mobile. One question from one of our colleagues at Tom’s Hardware, Paul Alcorn, pointed out that top-end desktop Ryzen processors have sported a maximum of 16 cores for nearly five years and asked AMD if that was sufficient for the gaming enthusiast PC market. CEO Dr Lisa Su responded that they could add more cores but game developers just aren’t routinely using that many cores in their software.

Specifically, she said that “for gaming, developers have not necessarily used all of the cores from time to time…there’s no physical reason we couldn’t do more than 16 cores…the key is just making sure that we are going at this at a pace that the soft…

Fallout 4’s best modder is bringing Doom to Starfield and bards to Skyrim-

As QuakeCon kicked off yesterday I was surprised and delighted to see a familiar name pop up repeatedly in Bethesda’s stream. No, not Todd Howard. Not Marty Stratton. Not Doom Guy or John Starfield or Beth Esda (the reclusive and rarely-seen 106-year-old owner of Bethesda Game Studios).

It was Kinggath! Kinggath is a modder I associate so strongly with Fallout 4 that, as far as I’m concerned, he invented it. The Sim Settlements and Sim Settlements 2 mods Kinggath built are so essential to Fallout 4 that the game might as well not even exist without them. I won’t go into a 10-paragraph sales pitch because I’ve already done that: here’s why you should never play Fallout 4 without Sim Settlements 2.

The first few minutes of the QuakeCon livestream were packed with Kinggath name…

Latest Minecraft update fixes an 11 year-old bug-

The latest Minecraft update, which the game for some reason calls snapshots, is mostly routine: Focused on smithing, squishing a few bugs, tweaking a few parameters. Then one of the most popular and widely played games on the planet says it’s finally managed to deal with a bug that was first noticed 11 years ago.

Take a bow MC-1133, which is not a minor Halo character but the name given to this particular gremlin. This bug prevented players from hearing footsteps when their avatar got too close to the edge of a block in Minecraft. The game would get confused about the avatar’s relative position, think it was somehow in mid-air rather than on solid ground, and thus walking when in this position made no sound.

No more. With regards to MC-1133, Mojang says it’s now the c…

One of these mechanical keyboards under $100 must be the one that solves my keyboard choice paralysis-

I’ve been on the hunt for a new mechanical keyboard—ideally a cheap mechanical keyboard, if I’m being honest—for about six months now. Why has it taken me so long? It’s the choice paralysis for me. I allowed our keyboard geek Jacob Ridley to tell me way too many things about how to pick one earlier this year and instead of decisively acting on that information I’ve entered the research event horizon where I will infinitely grow closer to making a decision without ever managing to arrive there.

$20 extra a month gets you the pro version of Microsoft’s AI Copilot. Or you could just get Valheim every 30 days, instead-

Microsoft’s AI tool Copilot is already part and parcel of Windows 11, but at least it’s free and you have the option to completely ignore it. Copilot Pro, on the other hand, is a subscription service that was originally only available for business users. But now, the software giant is letting anyone get in on the extra AI action, for a mere $20 per month. Oddly, Microsoft’s main target audience for this appears to be 365 subscribers, because naturally they’ll all want to pay out even more money.

Before I jump into the details of the scheme (discovered via The Verge), can I just raise one thing to start with: Has Microsoft completely lost the plot? $20 per month? That’s double the current fee one pays for a Family 365 subscription. You could buy a copy of Valheim …

Red Dead Online players get a trick but no treat, with the same DLC pass returning for the third Halloween in a row-

The relaunch of Red Dead Online as a standalone title in late 2020 was something of a false dawn for its ever-optimistic community. Rockstar maintains the title but has been in a cycle for several years of repeating content, and it could fairly be said that this playerbase has been surviving on rations ever since 2020. This led to one of the best in-game protests I’ve ever seen, where a ton of RDO players gathered together in summer 2020 dressed up as clowns to protest the lack of substantial updates.

Well, dust off those red noses and fetch the greasepaint: Rockstar has announced RDO will be receiving Halloween-themed content for the holiday period, called Halloween Pass 2, which was originally released for Halloween in 2021, and then repeated in 2022. It’s fairly t…

PowerWash Simulator is going Back to the Future in its latest weird crossover-

PowerWash Simulator is one of the most unexpectedly popular games of the last few years. On the face of it, it is exactly as the title indicates: A simulation of using a powerwasher, which—much like using a real powerwasher—sounds like it would be fun for a minute or two, and then quickly turn into drudgery. 

Yet somehow, it’s become this whole thing: PCG guides writer Sarah James picked it as her personal game of the year for 2022, news writer Joshua Wolens called it the best Far Cry game he’s ever played, and it’s had crossovers with other games and properties including Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, and Spongebob Squarepants. It’s also got an “overwhelmingly popular” rating across more than 34,000 user reviews on Steam. And now it’s going back to the future for ye…
