How many CRTs is too many CRTs to own? Asking for a friend...

I did my part!

I already feel like a different person than I was when we started and it's only been 2 episodes 😅

Interesting tech for sure, I would love to know more about what it's doing, but that games list is a head scratcher. When it launched APO was marketed as a huge deal, but what has come to fruition so far just isn't. Can they move quicker and add more highly utilized titles?

When I first read the headline I assumed it was some marketing tactic, but if switching memory can reduce overall power draw and fan speeds on a GPU without sacrificing performance that's interesting. It's not a huge difference, but if the testing was conducted fairly it's noticeable.

Intel Panther Lake proof of life

2025: the year of Linux (supposedly)

Does Intel have a secret for Nova Lake that we aren't anticipating?

Sean is 100% right, this is historic.

Is 2025 the year of Linux? Yes or no

The world needs more podcasts, so Will and I are here to help.

Excited to have @retrogamecorps.com on The Full Nerd podcast tomorrow to talk about Steam Deck 2, how AMD dominates the handheld space, and more: youtube.com/live/6T4S-0d...

Earthion is a brand new Sega Genesis game in 2025 and it fucking slaps!! If you have ever been a shmup fan then you better check this out: store.steampowered.com/app/3597580/...

The first 8BitDo (dew not doh) controllers were some of my first reviews ever I ever filmed. Been fun to see the company adapt over the course of my career.

I loved the design of the 4080 Expert, but the color just never matched any build. Hopefully they tweaked it.

Maybe time to re-test Battlemage?

I mainly play by a wall outlet so I'm ok with this.

This week's newsletter is about reinstalling Windows, which I hate doing. There are also three choice paragraphs about when it's worth inspecting your dumps and how to extract what you need from them, and I talk about backing up too.

I'll play it again, why not? 😅

I've always wanted to try it!

As a former Apple diehard I wholly agree with this take.

The 16GB version specifically!

First 24 hours review of the Switch 2: it's fine. Feels more like a Switch Pro at this point. Fixed some of the problems with Switch 1, but hasn't blown me away.

Already excited to buy the Switch 2 OLED version in a couple years 😅

Breaking news: I'm pretty excited about the Switch 2

Saw this in Taipei, and was very confused (read the fine print)

And I'll do it again!

First photos of Panther Lake, launch in 2026. Intel confirms no Panther Lake on socketable desktop part, Nova Lake "when it's ready". Video and article on PCWorld soon.

This is amazing news ❤️

Curious to hear your thoughts

I got early access to Doom: The Dark Ages and like a normal human being I used it to figure out why modern Doom games feel so fast even when they’re running at relatively low frame rates. Hint: Average frame rates matter much less than microstutter:

More/better single slot GPU options please!

Extremely saddened by this news. I've been a Giant Bomb fan for too many years to count, and I've looked forward to the Bombcast every week. So many great people and I hope for a better and more deserving future.

GPD Win Max 2 review: a surprisingly competent tiny laptop that doubles as a gaming handheld

How many times can I buy the MGS soundtracks on vinyl? We'll see 😅

Laptop makers actually lived in fear that this would cause their laptops to crash. What was it? A Janet Jackson song. One of the most entertaining stories in tech now has some new, additional info behind it. www.pcworld.com/article/2767...

Wait, what?

👀

Every "choose your own adventure" build I'm reminded that people love air cooling.

It was a damn good time.

Given both the situation at Intel and around the world, my money is on Arrow Lake refresh this fall and new socket next year.

Panic spending is good spending I guess?

Will it be a complete switch to AMD or an option for both? A major vendor has yet to offer the same handheld in both flavors.

Spreads like wildfire

Anyone for a game of ping pong?

10 or 20 years from now we can look back and see if AI truly makes an impact on game dev or not www.techspot.com/news/107483-...

I had to add my own option, just like we're always saying on The Full Nerd. Right @willsmith.fun ?
