If you’ve been hounded by technical problems in the PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn, I have some good news for you. Today, Guerrilla Games released a small patch for the formerly PS4-exclusive dinobot adventure to fix a bunch of performance issues. Crashes, random bugs with Steam and Windows profile names, and broken slowdown mechanics are but a few issues this update has addressed. Guerrilla plan to release another patch next week to fix more lingering problems.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your PC recently, then today’s the last day you can use Ebay UK’s 15% off voucher to get up to £60 off a bunch of PC components. I’ve already highlighted some great graphics card deals and some top notch SSD bargains, but the other big thing going cheap today is a bunch of AMD’s new B550 and X570 motherboards – perfect if you’re after a new motherboard that will ensure future compatibility with AMD’s Zen 3-based Ryzen CPUs further down the line. There are plenty to choose from, too, so let’s get on down to those sweet, sweet mobo bargains.

EA have explained more about customisation in Star Wars: Squadrons, both the meaningful loadout decisions of different weapons and equipment as well as the purely cosmetic bits for pilots and ships.

Then the exact same thing happened with Google and the Android Play Store, so naturally Epic are suing them too.

It’s the banner that did it.

Drag… god. Jesus christ. Dwagonbown Goes UwU (or, more correctly, dwagonbown goes uwu) is an overhaul mod that turns you into the worst person in Skyrim. It does nothing, really, except it changes most of your dialogue options to be, well, uwu.

If you’re not familiar with the concept, please for the love of god stop now. Save yourself. There is no value in this knowledge. (more…)
