Myhouse.dev Sometimes a home only becomes a home when you leave. I recently moved out from a London flat I’d rented for over a decade, for instance, and this has properly done a number on me. Being given my notice transformed the place from a transient pile of cadaverous lino and spasmodic plumbing into something mythical and unnerving – a whole chapter of my life completed and reduced to a piece of masonry in the rearview mirror, a relic I had been living in for years without quite realising....

An elusive £20 / $21 off Whereas some bits of games kit are in and out of the sales like they keep forgetting their keys there, ThePlayStation 5 DualSense controlleris one of those peripherals that just seems to hover around its £60 / $75 list price indefinitely. Which is a shame, as it’s a very, very good gamepad, including for PC playage. Consider theseBlack Fridayweek deals, then, as a rare opportunity to secure yourself said good gamepad without acquiescing to Sony’s stubbornness: it’s down to £40 in the UK and $54 in the US....

Alternative framing: Jusant, but you’re being chased by a fleshwall Many are thehorrorgames that involve you going down. Down is where much of the Badness in the world is traditionally located, after all, whether you’re talking about geology or psychology or theology. White Knuckle reverses the flow. You are already Down; by extrapolation, you must now go Up. Possibly, you are Down because you are a manifestation of the aforementioned Badness....

Protect your portable “James, please don’t just make half yourBlack Fridaydeal posts aboutSteam Deckstuff again”, warns a steely-eyed Graham. “I won’t”, I reply in sing-song while quietly adding pictures of the JSAUX ModCase to the CMS. That’s right, Amazon and a bunch of other retails have launched their BF sales a week early, which is annoying, unless you’re in the market for aSteam Deck caseupgrade. If so, consider the compact, multifunctional ModCase, which is down to just £24 / $24....

Pretty much got everything into the headline, there Manor Lordsdeveloper Greg Styczeń, aka Slavic Magic, has emerged from his keep with news of a forthcoming patch for the medieval citybuilder. It’ll add new maps, building upgrades and reworks for various economic systems. The announcement post is mostly image-based, in keeping with the classic saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words, as long as the words in question are mostly synonyms for ‘hut’, ‘mud’, ‘tree’ and ‘mountain’”....

Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and more are affected Microsoft have “applied a compatibility hold” to – i.e., blocked the installation of – a newWindows 11update that’s causing havoc with certain Ubisoft games.Star Wars Outlaws,Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, andAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoraare among the weirdly publisher-specific victims of Windows 11 version 24H2, which byMicrosoft’s admission(well spotted,Bleeping Computer) is causing crashes and crap performance in the affected games. Even after, in Outlaws’ case, Ubisoft responded to the complaints withtheir own patch....

Vote for Perturabo If you’re a fan of Warhammer 40k, you know John Blanche. Even if it’s you’re first time hearing his name, you’ll be familiar with his fingerprints on some of the setting’s most defining artwork. He’s responsible for that iconic imagine of theemprah- the one the best shows off the dark irony of a such a wretched figure becoming an idol of worship. While the term ‘grimdark’ originates from 40k’s “in the grim darkness of the far future…” tagline, grimdark as an aesthetic is one Blanche pioneered....

At last, I can properly recommend the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro I’ve always liked theRazer Basilisk V3 Promouse, a lightweight wireless version of the equally comfortable and responsiveBasilisk V3. Yet it’s usually been just a few tenners too expensive for me to say “You, RPS reader, buy this”, and since telling people what to buy is around 40% of this job, well, that just leaves a peripheral-shaped hole in my heart....

What’s been going on below the fold? You may have noticed some recent changes to our commenting system. I want to explain what has been happening. Two weeks ago we swapped our in-house commenting system for a third-party system. As soon as the swap was complete, complaints about poor site performance and usability problems flooded in from readers. Most importantly, a substantial number of you reported that your mobile devices were crashing when trying to read articles - not good....

Finally, some British representation Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobylhas been in the wild for almost a week now, and it’s a great, if predictably somewhat shonky time, is the word on the street. Literally, that’s what the streets are saying. “It’s good! A bit shonky, though!” opined my postman this morning, enunciating each syllable by yanking the package further from my grasp. “Don’t worry!” I said. “A patch for theFPSis coming next week”....

Get A-life The enemies of survival shooterStalker 2have a funny habit of showing up right behind you, like a panto villain with an AK-47. Far from being a premeditated ambush by intelligent AI-controlled soldiers, this is just a result of the game’sjanky spawns. Those botched encounters are unlike previous games, where roaming bands of factional murderfolk would patrol the radioactive wastes, seemingly according to their own whims. Back in the day, this wandering baddies feature was dubbed “A-life” by developers GSC Game World - basically a jargon word for the simulation of enemies that would lead to “emergent” moments of violence and conflict....
