If your PC has ever started randomly roaring, and you check Steam only to find Space Marine 2 is panic-installing a 9 billion gigabyte update, then perhaps Valve's new upcoming feature is for you. For most of us, Steam simply slurps down fresh gigs of installed games automatically when a new update is released (and sometimes schedules the updates according to its own capricious whims). But the platform is testing a new option in the beta client, which lets you set download behaviour to git new gigs only when you actually launch a game. This would be a terrible curse, for reasons I will explain, but it's only going to be an option - not the new default. Read more View the full article

While World of Warcraft’s Shadowlands expansion may be over, there are still some reasons to head back to the Shadowlands and catch up on content you may have missed. If you’re looking to complete some transmog runs, grind out reputation, or add an old mount from the expansion to your collection, you’ll have to make sure that you’ve completed the Shadowlands introductory quests. You cannot access the Shadowlands (or any portals to their capital city, Oribos) unless you’ve completed the introductory quests of the expansion. Thankfully, if you’re looking to unlock the zones of the Shadowlands on an alternate character, you’ll be able to skip the Shadowlands introduction and head right to Oribos. Still, you’ll need to pick up a short quest chain that allows you to do so in your faction’s capital city. View the full article
If you're seeking a single external SSD that can deliver huge capacity, blazing-fast speed, pocketable portability, and rugged peace of mind, the Samsung T9 is the drive that should be top of your wish list. Its ultra-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds mean its performance is superb, plus it's light, compact, and rubber-coated for reliable on-the-go use. These credentials immediately place the Samsung T9 among the best external SSD devices around. However, for those just seeking a drive for general portable storage of docs, music, videos, and app installers, the extra speed here is somewhat overkill. Even as a drive from which you can load your Steam or Epic games libraries, the extra speed here isn't going to make a night and day difference compared to more affordable options.

I have to write at least 250 words for a news post. Rock Paper Shotgun’s CMS (content management system) even has a built-in widget that shouts at me if I don’t write at least 250 words. "Page 1 body content is quite short" it says if I go under. How cute is that "quite"? I love being fooled into getting charmed by automated systems via colloquial British understatement. Anyway, I bring this up because I honestly don’t have anything to add about Blippo+. I just wanted to inform you all of its existence. It's a "casual" "FMV" "Cinematic" "Pixel Graphics" "1980s" digital product from developers also named Blippo+, as well as publishers Panic, who've previously unleashed the horrible goose and Thank Goodness You’re Here! on the world.
