Is there a legitimate reason you need a laptop, or do you just kinda want one because they look cool? I'm not trying to tell you haw to spend your money (or what I'm inferring is probably your parents' money), but "gaming laptops" are always an unpleasant compromise. An entry-level gaming...

You don't. If you're determined to get a laptop and you have to shop at best buy, then it is what it is. You can build a halfway decent gaming PC for $500, but you can't get a decent gaming laptop for that kind of money. Either save more, build a desktop (seriously, it's not hard), or settle...

Ah, now I see the confusion. All the individual pieces are currently 70-80% off individually due to the sale, plus you get an additional 10% off if you buy the whole bundle. You're only seeing the bundle discount and not the individual piece discount for some reason. Click on one of the items...

I think the steam sales are regional. @levi might be in a country where the sales are different or steam might not even be doing a sale right now. Can confirm that NWN is a pretty great game, and getting the absolutely-everything pack for $11 is a no-brainer. I'd be picking it up myself if I...

Eh, this might be pushing the limits of what you can realistically cram into a handheld. The new SoC sucks down more power and throws off more heat than the previous unit, and that was already iffy. Those OG gameboy mods that stuck a 3A into an OG gameboy shell had pretty big 4000mAH...

The only PC game I play with any regularity is Guildwars 2. It scratches the MMO itch I developed over WoW years ago, but without the monthly cost, grindiness, or borderline toxic environment. It's eminently casual-friendly, and inherently cooperative instead of competitive. You can put it...

There is plenty of room in the SBC market for alternatives. Probably not enough room for all the literal hundreds of alternatives that currently exist, but still. While this is a much-needed upgrade for the Pi, there are definitely more powerful boards out there for those who need as much...

Everybody's favorite cheap SBC just got a major hardware update. Still (starting at) $35, the newest Pi packs a quad core 1.5GHz 64bit A72 CPU, broadcom's latest videocore VI GPU with 4k/60Hz and hardware HEVC support, two microHDMI ports, USB type-C power input, two USB3.0 ports (in...

Another thing to consider - the switch mini is likely to be released before the end of the year. We have no hard details, but rumors abound. I assume nintendo will be closing vulnerabilities that have allowed the full-size switch to be relatively easily hacked, but they've never released a...

There really isn't room for analog sticks, and there were only a few (less than 10) games that absolutely required analogs. Also, you can't really fault the case makers for the PCB price, because the case makers aren't selling the PCB.

I've seen that video, and I'm really disappointed that they put that much effort into recreating a GBA case specifically for the freeplay CM3, but didn't add L2/R2 buttons or allow for a larger battery.

Both the vita and N3DS are easily hackable (assuming you're on a vulnerable firmware), and both will handle everything up to the 16 bit era just fine. If you go with the N3DS, you will also get native DS and 3DS gameplay. If you go with the vita, you get flawless PSX and PSP emulation through...

Best buy is a terrible place to buy a computer. You'll pay more than you have to, and you'll get garbage. If you have to buy retail, at least go to a microcenter or fry's. Do you need something portable? $500 will buy you a fairly decent gaming PC if you build yourself: PCPartPicker Part...

This is really the only valid use-case for "8k" capability. If you can render 8k in real time, then you can render two stereoscopic 4k streams in real time. Anybody who's used a VR headset knows that they magnify (quite literally) pixel pitch issues, so you really need very high resolution for...

"Linux gaming" is already a very small subset of "PC gaming". This atari box will necessarily be a smaller subset of linux gaming. I don't foresee any developers going out of their way to compile/package games specifically for this system unless they were already planning a linux version for...

It's a full-on linux PC with a ryzen APU. Compared to building a similarly-specced machine yourself, the box-of-parts cost is pretty fair: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($86.99 @ Walmart) Motherboard: ASRock - B450M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX AM4...

As should have been obvious from the get-go, google confirms that 4k HDR streaming games will chew through your data caps like nobody's business. No worries if you're a member of the unlimited gigabit fiber master race, but if you're suffering with a shitty ISP (like many Americans, Canadians...

It might have been, but it's sold out already. The reddit thread claims it sold out in 37 minutes.

Amazon has them available to order now. Shipping 6/15.

Pricing and availability has finally been firmed up. It'll have an AMD raven ridge APU (unknown exactly which one) and either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. Both a classic-style joystick and modern gamepad are available options. The 4GB model with no controller starts at $250 and packages go up to $390...
