Dolphin Releases Announcement
MayImilae dolphin-emu.orgOn the 24th of June, 2016, Dolphin 5.0 was released. The product of a long and hard transition period, the fundamental inaccuracies that plagued Dolphin for over a decade had successfully been undone, and Dolphin was now free of its burdens to swim forward into a new era of accuracy and performance. Eight years have passed since that great release, and we have seen the dividends of that effort time and time again....

I turned my PC off during the "don't switch off" symbol in five different games to see what would happen and boy was this an annoying experiment
Brendan Caldwell rockpapershotgun.comWe've all seen it. The little spinning symbol cautioning players against impatient acts of powering down. "Don't turn off your system when this symbol is displayed," goes the message seen often while booting up a game (or some other version of these words). The implication is clear. The saving process is delicate and if you interrupt this invisible ritual the data that's being written to some folder deep in your...

Ed Thorn rockpapershotgun.comYou may or may not have seen Black Myth: Wukong impressions floating around as of late. Some claim it's not a Soulslike, or is merely Soulslike-adjacent.

There's Always Problems
Jimmy Hartzell thecodedmessage.comI was Googling for sources about nuclear power for my new political views garden, and I came across the following statement in reference to nuclear waste: I know that burning fossil fuels is bad, but we can’t just start another problem just because we can’t fix the first one. I’m not trying to single out the person who wrote this (and therefore no link, and the quote has been edited for spelling and grammar which I...

The Steam Deck is one of the best ways to play Elden Ring, and now Shadow of the Erdtree too
James Archer rockpapershotgun.comUpdate: Whelp, spoke too soon. Apparently some Steam Deck players are seeing an "Innapropriate activity detected" message upon launching Elden Ring, blocking them from playing online. I haven't had this myself, and some have reported the issue fixing itself after they installed the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but hopefully there's a proper patch in the works. Elden Ring on the Steam Deck has long enjoyed a smoothness...

How Embracer's cuts killed a potential Red Faction sequel and gutted a promising studio
Edwin Evans-Thirlwell rockpapershotgun.comA phoenix is a mythological firebird that is periodically reborn from its own ashes, a symbol of cyclical renewal. It's also, according to several former employees of Chorus developers Fishlabs in Hamburg, an internal title for the massive cost-cutting project begun by Swedish conglomerate Embracer Group in June 2023. The current incarnation of a bewildering series of mergers, renamings and acquisitions that date...

Bert Hubert's writings Toezicht AIVD en MIVD, zonder toezichthouders, zonder kantoor
Toezicht AIVD en MIVD, zonder toezichthouders, zonder kantoor
Bert Hubert's writings berthub.eu1 juli gaat hij in, de door AIVD en MIVD zo zeer begeerde wet die het toezicht op deze diensten flink omploegt. In 2022 begon de discussie: minder gedetailleerde procedures vooraf om te mogen hacken en tappen, en meer ruimte om slachtoffers van hacks direct ook onder de tap te kunnen zetten, zonder nieuwe toestemming aan te hoeven vragen. En ook geen toets vooraf meer om met AI te mogen zoeken in grote afgeluisterde...

Rock Paper Shotgun Features Feed Should you bother with... ultrawide gaming monitors?
Should you bother with... ultrawide gaming monitors?
James Archer rockpapershotgun.comI realised recently that a juicy subject for another Should You Bother With has been staring me in the face – or rather, I’ve been staring at it. Ultrawide gaming monitors have clearly avoided non-starter status, given they’ve been around for years, seemingly being exchanged for currency – and yet they’re nowhere near what you might consider the 'default' option when making a display upgrade. Regular widescreen...

The 19 best roguelike games on PC in 2024
Brendan Caldwell rockpapershotgun.comChaos and comedy. Death and rebirth. Luck and, uh, running out of luck. A good roguelike doesn't treat the player like other games do. Roguelikes won't guide you helpfully along a path, or let you cinematically snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They're more likely to dangle you deep between the jaws of defeat and fumble the rope until you go sliding down defeat's hungry gullet. This is their beauty, and it's a...
