How do you steal items in Crimson Desert? Sometimes, someone has something you want – it could be in their shop, or it could be in their home, wherever – but you have no honest way of making that item yours. It’s perhaps not the most ethical way of going about things, but you can occasionally put your sticky fingers to use and steal what you need. Like a bunch of other things, Crimson Desert is doing stealing a little differently. You may notice that while you can see the option to steal above certain items, it will be greyed…
A revised model Nintendo Switch 2 with a replaceable battery might be on the cards, but the US will have to wait
Right now, dealing with Nintendo battery woes involves having to grab one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories like a power bank, sending your pricey handheld off for repair, or calling it quits and buying another. However, a newly revised Nintendo Switch 2 with a replaceable battery might be on the cards.According to the Japanese site Nikkei, Nintendo is looking to “modify the console’s specifications to allow consumers to easily replace the battery” in accordance with European Union legislation.The “Right to Repair” legislation was announced way back in 2023, but won’t be enforceable until February 2027, and requires that…
If you ask Yoshi-P, kids don't care about Final Fantasy anymore because they're taking too long to come out
Last month, a post caught some kind of virus and did the rounds, pondering why kids don’t care about Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest so much anymore, wondering what they do plan now, and anecdotally findering that most of them just play Pokemon. And I truly have to wonder if Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida saw said post, given that in a recent bout of interviews with several key Final Fantasy figureheads in preparation for the next Dissidia game, he himself flat out acknowledged that the youths these days don’t care as much because of the series’…
Diablo 4's "truest test of strength" is being nerfed "significantly" so people can actually beat it
Diablo 4 often faces accusations of being a bit too on the easy side, so hearing that Blizzard is dramatically lowering the challenge of a new endgame activity posed as its toughest test yet could raise some eyebrows. Anyone who’s experienced the new Diablo 4 Bloodsoaked Sigils firsthand, however, will know exactly how far they overshot the mark, trapping some unfortunate players in a prison of nigh-impossible fights that all but bricked their character progression. Consider this change more of a kindness than a concession. Diablo 4 Season 12 kicked off ten days ago, so players have had more than…

Former Mount & Blade modders are making Kinstrife, a medieval mosh pitter set in 13th century Germany
Arrrrrrrrrghhhh. Slash. Thunk. Well, we’re a man down. It’s a good thing that in the genre of strategy sandboxes built on massive medieval melees, there’s always someone else about to wander into the frey. Cue the entrance of Kinstrife, a Mount & Bladey game built by former Mount & Blade modders who fancied bringing the hack and slashing to 1200s Germany, with its wandering knights and powerful robber barons.
The first Minecraft Live of 2026 is in the bag, and lead designer Minecraft Jens Bergensten and the team at Mojang have plenty of news for us on Tiny Takeover. There’s also the reveal of the next update for the sandbox game, Chaos Cubed, which will introduce an adorable mob that brings an entirely new mechanic to your creations. “It’s impossible to predict everything you’ll do with anything we add, but I’m especially excited to see what you’ll get up to this time,” Bergensten remarks. He even promises “something so secret, I’m not actually supposed to mention it.” To kick…
"The underlying geometry is unchanged" – turns out DLSS 5 really is just a filter over 2D images, as Nvidia employee reveals: "Materials are inferred from the rendered frame"
The DLSS 5 drama continues, as one employee from Nvidia has shared more insight into the technicalities of how the new iteration of the upscaler will work while you’re playing games. As many have suspected since the initial reveal video, DLSS 5 isn’t actually using your gaming PC’s graphical power to enhance, upscale, or render frames differently. In fact, DLSS 5 only uses 2D imagery and motion vectors as an input… so pretty much exactly how an Instagram filter works.This news comes by way of YouTuber Daniel Owen, who released a video titled “Nvidia answers my DLSS 5 questions” in…
God is dead and I am a bullet hell boss of my own making in the physics-based dicerolling roguelike DeeSicks
I’m going to say it: bullet hells are more stressful than Souls-likes. Why are there 10,000 orbs approaching me, promising me misery and death! And I have to both tactfully dodge them while also staging a front myself? The visual information alone is enough to deteriorate the mind, memorising a list of attack patterns from some big dude with a sword seems like chump change by comparison. So this leaves me quite sweet on DeeSicks, a roguelike take on the game with physics-based dice rolling where god has died and you become your own boss. Here’s how a…
The privacy-conscious among us have always been wary of Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The extent to which it creates profiles on its users so that it can deliver effective ads to them is rather unsettling – and that’s without even touching on the political controversies. Unfortunately, Meta is about to make a change that will further reduce its users’ privacy, so you might want to get a VPN (or, just, you know, uninstall its apps). On May 8, Instagram will cease to offer end-to-end encryption for its direct messages. That means that it will see everything…
