Pick up 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $70

The lowest price we’ve seen on a single DDR5 stick. DDR5 continues to drop in price, as more kits enter the market and supply increases. Today we spotted a 16GB stick of Crucial DDR5-4800 RAM going for just $70 at Amazon, nearly $20 below its original $89 MSRP set earlier this year. This is an awesome chance to build a new system with 32GB of DDR5. I tested DDR5fairly extensivelyfor Digital Foundry, and I’m happy to report that there’s minimal speed differences between the base DDR5 spec - like this 4800MT/s CL40 kit - and more expensive 5200MT/s CL38 kits....

The bigger they are, the harder they fall Matthew is away this week, which leaves me and Nate to take over The Electronic Wireless Showpodcastand turn it into a big ol' tower with loads of flamethrowers.

Escape Academy review: a charming escape room sim that's even better with a bud

Make room for this one Having graduated fromEscape Academy, I’m left with a notepad of strange scrawls scattered over two pages. A block of crosses, squares, and circles like a snippet of an old GTA cheats page. Wonky boxes filled with letters, like a shed that’s just about held itself together after a storm.

Gwent: Rogue Mage review: a solid expansion of an already enticing minigame

Follow suit The better part of a decade ago, I got really into Gwent. Like, ‘stay up till 3 a.m. scouring The Witcher 3’s vast lands for new cards’ into Gwent. WithGwent: Rogue Mage, I can feel that drive slowly creeping in again. The latest spin-off from The Witcher trilogy (and technically the spin-off of the standalone Gwent spin-off), Gwent: Rogue Mage puts you in charge of two mages, Alzur and Lyliana, attempting to create the very first Witcher hundreds of years before Geralt’s adventures....
