A new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X benchmark ***** suggests that AMD's upcoming, 16-core flagship gaming CPU will be incredibly efficient compared to the current competition from Intel. The ***** shows the AMD chip can match the performance of the Intel Core i9-14900K even when it's restricted to just a 120W power limit. The test of AMD's new best gaming CPU contender was reportedly run on the Blender 3D modeling app, but rather than being a straight run of the new AMD chip, the test only ran the CPU when restricted to various power limits. The test CPU is also an engineering sample, rather than a full retail sample, so it has slightly lower peak power ratings. Read the rest of the story...

Don't skip the most underrated kind of equipment in Baldur's Gate 3 - when used properly, it can save even the weakest companion's life. Following Dungeons & Dragons' fifth edition rules, companions live and **** by their equipment in BG3. Somewhat uniquely, a character's Armor Class (AC) doesn't determine how much damage they take; it's a deciding factor in whether every ******* targeting them successfully hits. That means that an under-armored character is at a much greater risk, and needs to be kept strategically far away from any enemies who might pose a threat. View the full article
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake features new story elements, Performance and Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, and more. Speaking to Famitsu and translated by @Genki_JPN on X/Twitter, Square Enix said the classic role-playing game's remake features several improvements for modern players while staying true to the original. Perhaps most notably, Square Enix is adding new story elements to Dragon Quest 3, and while it's unclear how significant these will be, everything was supervised by series creator Yuji Horii. On the technical side of things, the RPG will support 4K resolution on PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, though console players must choose between it and a 60 frames per second Performance Mode. Players can also choose between two protagonist appearances and three difficulty settings. Myriad quality of life features will also be available, including autosaves (though manual saves are still available), the ability to speed up battle with the shoulder buttons, two camera modes, a mini map which can be toggled on and off, and an NPC conversation log which saves the last 30 interactions. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake otherwise features towns which appear like miniatures in the overworld in classic RPG fashion, monsters which can appear in towns, a day and night cycle, and more. The game was announced as a recreation of the 1988 original and launches November 14, 2024, meaning it will arrive more than three decades later. The HD-2D style was coined when Square Enix released Octopath Traveller for Nintendo Switch in 2018, which had 2D characters moving through high quality backgrounds in a tribute to classic turn-based RPGs. Breaking numerical convention, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will be followed up Dragon Quest 1 HD-2D Remake and Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake at some point in 2025. In our preview of the game, IGN said: "The HD-2D foundation once again proves to be nearly foolproof when it comes to recreating that classic charm and a great way to modernize an old RPG that many would not have otherwise revisited." Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day. View the full article

Did you blink during that latter half of July 10, 2024? Well, if so, there's a good chance you missed an entire Helldivers 2 Major Order, as Arrowhead let folks celebrate securing some battle station plans by blowing through an entire bug-******** goal in record time. We've known that the amount of stuff the forces of Super Earth can ***** in quick sucession defies the laws of maths for a while now, but it's the first time in a little bit those bug-******** talents have been put on full display like this. "After having handled the Automaton pressure upon X-45 with heroism and style that would make any Commando proud, it is time to test out their arsenal upon the Terminid *****, for science," read the brief for this latest order, which I'm only really quoting because you might have missed actually getting to read it, "The Helldivers are tasked with eliminating bugs using a variety of weaponry to stress the terminid population into controlled but accelerated evolution."

In spite of its shortcomings, we've been largely enjoying The Acolyte. For the most part, it's a fascinating look into an entirely new era of the Star Wars galaxy and a re-evaluation of who the Jedi are and where their downfall came from. Now, just one week ahead of the season one finale, creator and showrunner Leslye Headland is opening up about where the story might go next. Nerdist's interview with Headland, where we've found some interesting answers to burning fan questions, assumes you've watched episode seven already, so huge spoiler warning before diving into the conversation's most interesting chunks just in case. From the very beginning, even before the show was *********, the showrunner has expressed how much of a nerd she really is, and that extends beyond the limits of Star Wars lore and deep into Elden Ring. As a direct result, the press is focusing on in-universe questions over the actual process of making the show, which has been highlighted well enough by Lucasfilm and Disney during the marketing campaign.

New indie action JRPG Tako No Himitsu: Ocean of Secrets - customary disclaimer: "JRPG" is a contentious term which some feel fetishises Japan culture, while others define it more neutrally as a specific style of role-playing game - is set in a world shadowed by a long-ago war between Human and Octopus. This in itself would be borderline post-worthy, but it's also heavily inspired by Game Boy Advance RPGs such as Golden Sun, and features music created by Golden Sun composer Motoi Sakuraba alongside Terranigma composer Masanori Hikichi.

George R.R. Martin has revealed a set of new covers for A Game of Thrones and the entire A Song of Ice and ***** book series. Revealed on his blog, the stunning new covers "capture the vastness of Westeros and the dangerous journey readers will encounter." The five books are available in a boxed set and will be available online and in stores in October 2024, though no price was revealed. "There is a raw and gritty quality to linocut and woodcut art," the post continued. "A certain starkness that seemed to fit the stories, and a long history to the art form that felt right for this world. "This cover design process paired linocut artist Mark Seekins and designer Tim Green, with art direction from David G. Stevenson. They worked together to develop sketches and carve the designs into blocks of linoleum, where the raised areas were inked and pressed onto paper. The covers feature several colors, which required separate blocks for each ****** layer. The finished prints were then photographed and incorporated into the covers." This boxset doesn't include the entire A Song of Ice and ***** story, of course, as Martin famously, perhaps infamously, has yet to finish the final two books. The next entry, The Winds of Winter, is so far 10 years late and seemingly making slow progress. Martin said in November 2023 that he'd written 1,100 pages of the highly anticipated book, the same number he'd written a year earlier. No writer is blessed with producing a perfect first draft, of course, and Martin's "writing" of The Winds of Winter will also encompass re-reading, re-writing, editing, planning, and so on, so there's still plenty of work to be done without actually increasing the page number total. Martin said in October 2022 the book was around three quarters of the way done, noting he's completely finished some characters' stories but still has others to weave throughout them. The overall progress of The Winds of Winter has become somewhat of an ongoing gag within the fiction community though, with even Martin himself getting in on the joke. An estimated release window for The Winds of Winter was first given in 2011 when the previous book, A Dance With Dragons, was released, and Martin said it would take three years to finish at a good pace. That set expectations for a 2014 release date, but year after year, and delay after delay, Martin still isn't ready to release the penultimate A Song of Ice and ***** entry.

Some Summoner’s Spells in League of Legends are superior to others—and even the devs know that. In a recent stream, Riot Games’ August said he doesn’t like Teleport but knows it’s a crucial part of the game. August admitted he’s not a fan of the spell, but he believes it’s too important for League top laners.
