Nvidia is reportedly set to restart production of its venerable GeForce RTX 3060 gaming GPU in a bid to find a way for PC gamers to have an affordable but reasonably up-to-date graphics card upgrade over the coming months. For those still stuck on an old GTX-era card, or perhaps with an RTX 2060 or RTX 3050, the RTX 3060 should provide a low-cost performance upgrade that has access to all of Nvidia’s latest DLSS 4.5 tech, other than frame generation. Rising to the top of the most popular graphics card list on the October 2024 Steam Hardware Survey, the…

What does the Byrdonis Egg do? Most of the time in Slay the Spire 2, you want to pick up items that help right now, because adding bulk to your deck often also adds problems. If you have cards you cannot use against an enemy, well, that can be a recipe for disaster. There are items in STS2, however, like the Byrdonis Egg, that can pay off big time later if you know what to do. All of the Slay the Spire 2 characters have a different playstyle, and you will want to build them in a certain way, but…

Marvel Rivals developers NetEase have introduced new systems for detecting thrown matches. This follows a bizarre wave of people getting bribed to take a fall, instigated by a third-party website who are now advertising themselves as some kind of community advocacy initiative. The website in question is Intlist. They made headlines last week for letting players of various popular games put cash bounties on other players, paid out whenever a player threw a match against the target. Games affected include Counter-Strike 2, Overwatch and Valorant. The impact on Marvel Rivals was severe enough that NetEase posted a rebuke on Twitter,…
Slay The Spire 2 launched into early access last week to the tune of over half a million Steam concurrents, which isn’t too shabby for a game with placeholder art that looks like it was knocked up in MS Paint. I played a couple runs of the roguelike deckbuilder this weekend, and experienced such positive emotions as Wait, Doesn’t This Basically Break The Game? Delightfully Devilish, Seymour and Oh, I Forgot I Had That Potion. I wouldn’t say I’m bowled over, mind. The original Slay The Spire precipitated a Cambrian explosion of roguelite or roguelike deckbuilders. The sequel…

Crimson Desert isn’t out just yet, so we don’t have…
