Went to Valve, saw some cool stuff, wrote a LOT about it. You can read all the key details here:

So we're all calling it the GabeCube, right?

Throwing official identity documents at randos on the internet and hoping for the best is a terrible way to verify your age. Discord hack is just the beginning of many more similar events to come if UK gov and others don't decide to do something else. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the...

After nearly 100 videos, I've hit 500 followers on TikTok. Hard work but I'm super proud of it!

Concerned about your data privacy with the UK's new age verification? You're right to be. But there is a better way... www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the...

This is a cracking read btw

Is the Xbox Ally handheld really an Xbox or is Microsoft just hoping to muscle SteamOS off its turf in gaming PCs? www.pcgamer.com/hardware/han...

Reminder you can still enter for a chance to win this gaming PC at pcgamer.com/survey It boots, promise.

Hey, I hosted the PC Gaming Show. How'd that happen?! Big shout out to everyone that worked on the show and especially whoever thought up bringing me along to build a gaming PC during it. I had a blast. Now I'm just hoping they'll let me keep the dungarees...

deactivated my twitter account. SEE YA

I've been working on this one for a lil' bit... PC builds are back at @pcgamer.com. We're documenting the parts, process, and performance of a new custom PC build every month. STARTING RIGHT NOW. Available online and in glorious print (thx mag team) Link: www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gam...

The real review is whether my cat chooses to sleep on the box or not...

Hope has been doing lots of lovely work for PCG for ages, check it out!

I upgraded my lighting setup with one of those translucent diffuser thingies from Aliexpress for £6 and I think it's actually one of my best investments yet... still figuring things out but my photos aren't 90% glare anymore

I've been testing Intel's latest microcode update to find out whether it hurts gaming performance on the Core i9 14900K. The good news is, no, it doesn't appear to. The bad news is many Intel CPUs likely still need to be returned and replaced.

If you're weirdly into PC components and in the UK, come write for PC Gamer's hardware team. All the cool kids are doing it. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/pc-...

Not naturally a fan of 60% size keyboards yet the ROG Falchion RX Low Profile has made me a believer. Fantastic typing experience from compact switches... www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gam...

Gonna play Dragon's Dogma 2? Nick Evanson has been tirelessly benchmarking the game ahead of release to give you the full scoop on performance. Check it out here: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/dr...

The best 14-inch gaming laptop just got better. That all-metal chassis is 🫦 www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gam...

RTX Remix is a pretty big deal for remaking old games. I've spoken to devs working on Half-Life 2 RTX + Need For Speed Underground 2 RTX about what it's doing for them and why it matters. Some insight into how RTX Remix functions for anyone curious: www.pcgamer.com/hardware/nvi...

A 30th anniversary version of PC Gamer mag is out now and it contains my absolute favourite photo we've shot for one of these test features. It's both mine and @drossjames.bsky.social desktop wallpaper now 😅

Alan Wake 2 is gorgeous

Still no beating the Steam Deck on price, even nearly two years on from launch. www.pcgamer.com/the-steam-de...

Alan Wake 2 is stunning, but you really need an RTX 40-series card to enjoy it to the max. Without DLSS + Frame Gen, you have to tone it back to get decent performance. Still, what a showcase of how good a videogame can look today. www.pcgamer.com/alan-wake-2-...

That'll teach me for thinking Windows was at fault for years of annoying popups. I should've just listened to it sooner. www.pcgamer.com/for-years-i-...

Intel's Core i5 14600K is a great midrange gaming CPU. Problem is, it's barely quicker than the 13600K for a smidge more money. Full review 👉 www.pcgamer.com/intel-core-i...

Love when pretty packaging doubles as a backdrop for pretty pictures. Just a shame the chip itself is a bit boring!

I can't stop thinking about that sittim is the opposite of standim song when lowering my standing desk. Guess it was only fair to make a TikTok about it: www.tiktok.com/@pcgamer_mag...

If you spend a lot of time cutting out products or people from images, Paint kinda rules for this job now. Photoshop is still king but Paint is free 😅 www.pcgamer.com/suddenly-mic...

Just posted a new review for the Lexar NM790. Great drive, superb price. Plus we've some new interactive charts in the review! Been figuring out IOMeter for sustained write performance testing, first time I've rolled out the results. Hope it's handy! www.pcgamer.com/lexar-nm790-...

Been playing around with the Ayaneo Air 1S. Handheld gaming PC with an inordinate amount of power inside a tiny chassis. Also highlighting because I've been working on my product photography and I think it looks really nice :) www.pcgamer.com/ayaneo-air-1...
