Mid pro quo Because I have. Maybe too much. 2816.6 hours ofDota 2, according to Steam, and that doesn’t count the days I’ve spent flying out to watch more talented people play it in arenas. It’s easy to get lost in, is Dota, and not just in the bad ways – even after a series of crap matches, it’s so easy to sink further into its incredible depth, its neverending wizard fight nuances, that it could be hour number 2820 before coming back up for air....

Multiple games are getting a DLSS 3 update this month too By far the best thing about theRTX 4090– which is otherwise a bit of a GPU boondoggle – is that is supports DLSS 3. This next-gen version of Nvidia’sDLSSupscaler not only boosts performance with render resolution trickery but also adds entirely new, AI-generated frames of its own, smoothing out visuals even further. Fewer than 40 games are confirmed to implement it so far but that number is growing, with Nvidia today announcing thatMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moraleswill include DLSS 3 when it launches for PC on November 18th....
A new low-water mark for AMD’s (nearly) top-end graphics card. The Radeon RX 6900 XT has continued to go down in price, and now we’ve reached a new low-water mark: £700. That’s £50 belowthe last time we wrote up an RX 6900 XT, and some £300 below its UK price in Great British Pounds. The RX 6900 XT remains a very good graphics card despite the release of Nvidia’s RTX 40-series cards (and the upcoming release of AMD RDNA3 cards), with its new price befitting a great performer for 4K gaming or high refresh rate gaming at lower resolutions....
Do androids dream of eclectic meats? As Replika Elster,Signaliswill force you to untangle a mess of writhing flesh and malfunctioning memories to separate dream from lived experience. So, in keeping with dream logic: You’ve played Signalis before, and you’ve never played anything like it. It lovingly adopts the trappings of PS1-erasurvival horror, and more importantly, it fully understands why those systems, aesthetics, tropes, and technical limits are so engaging. But it also presents and explores love and loss, freedom and manipulation, fear and trauma, in its own cruelly captivating way....

A great deal on the best value DDR4 memory spec. When it comes to DDR4 RAM, the market has decided that 3200MT/s CL16 is the perfect spec: noticeably faster than early DDR4-2133, 2400 and 2666, while being significantly cheaper than higher-end 3400, 3600 and 4000 kits. Normally you’d expect to pay around £60 for a 16GB dual-channel kit of DDR4 RAM hitting this spec, but today you can get a Kingston Fury Beast 16GB kit for just £48....

And, ah, I cannot deny having been influenced by last week’s vote for one of these options....
