All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...

    Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti Released annnnd It's Gone

    Sorry, did you want a new GPU? Too bad.

    Nvidia released their GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards today and, yep, they're already sold out everywhere. The "paper launch" of the RTX 50-series continues without remorse after a similar thing happened with the late January release of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080.

    For the RTX 5090 supply, Nvidia seems at least be making efforts to fix the supply woes. Nvidia's third-party partners are expected to get a "stupidly...

    NetEase Isn't Wasting Time Adding Fake Information for Marvel Rivals Dataminers to Find

    They would rather spend time actually developing the game.

    There has apparently been some big conspiracy theory kicking around that NetEase and/or Marvel Games have intentionally be adding fake information into Marvel Rivals updates in order to trick dataminers. Whenever a new update is rolled out, dataminers dive in to see if they can surface information on upcoming roster additions that were not officially announced yet.

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
