Nintendo is a company that seems to thrive on strange hardware choices.

This is because, despite grabbing attention, they do seem to serve some kind of purpose.

1 day agoOne of the cooler aspects of Mario Kart World is its expansive roster, which includes NPC characters who typically do not share the limelight with stars like, say, Luigi and Peach. Excitement around the Moo Moo Cow was immediate after Nintendo revealed it was a playable character, and now that the …

Asus ROG Pelta | 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity | 90-hour battery life | $130 $110 at Amazon (save $20)With a strong battery life, super comfortable fit, and made from nice, airy materials, the Asus ROG Pelta is a bit of a belter. At its usual price, it's still a very good offering, but $20 off so close to its launch makes it an instant recommendation from me. Just two days ago, I reviewed the Asus ROG Pelta.

The UK House of Lords denies the government's AI bill for 'state sanctioned theft' of copyrighted data for the fourth time

AI doesn't care about copyright. It can't, obviously, because it's AI, and not a human being with thoughts and feelings. But it particularly doesn't care about copyright, partly because the US and UK governments are both pushing to let AI companies scrape data for use in generated text and imagery without a care thrown to the digital wind.

Unreal's MetaHuman Animator can generate surprisingly lifelike animation with just your phone and it's now integrated directly into Unreal Engine 5.6

The 2025 State of Unreal gave us some long-awaited updates on the tech powering The Witcher 4, and while I was picking my jaw up from the floor, something new found its way onto my screen—a bizarre animated alien rendered from a webcam feed in real time. Epic's new updates to MetaHuman, its suite of lifelike digital human character tools, are astoundingly cool, and feel like they may help lower the barrier to entry for budding developers.
Microsoft agrees that USB is a mess and it's making changes to fix it: 'Manufacturers can implement ports that look identical but differ wildly in functionality'

Have you ever gone to plug in your USB Type-C cable to extend your display, ready for the glory of a second monitor, only for nothing to happen? Well, there's a good chance it's because your USB port isn't quite capable of doing so. Microsoft is implementing a new system to try and stop this problem.
Hell is Us system requirements require an RTX 4090 and upscaling for 4K at 30 fps, which sounds pretty hellish for my gaming PC

If you have the might of an RTX 4090 powering your rig, the Hell is Us system requirements suggest you will be able to run the game at Ultra settings at 4K, aiming for 30 fps average. Curiously, system requirements are all inclusive of upscaling. That's, well, not great, but there is a little nuance as to why Hell is Us' publisher has announced those numbers and what they mean. Ahead of its release on September 4, the Hell is Us team took to X to announce the game's system requirements.

A bit honoured to see my YouTube channel cited in Rock Paper Shotgun yesterday. Happened to discover it while in a call with my mum, which is about as strange a way of finding out that I can think of. https://t.co/BD4t5dVSQL
