News - Serious Sam: Shatterverse announced as a new co-op roguelite FPS
By hardpenguin, 27 Mar 2026 at 9:33 am UTC

Serious Sam 1 and 2 co-op were super fun. I feel like that aspect was not as good in SS3 and SS4? So I hope this one brings the fun back. The trailer looks a lot like these first two classic games from the series.

I haven't played for a while. I've got 340 hours in so far but I'm waiting for the engine update to drop before I jump back in. Love this game, looking forward to playing this DLC. We've got years of play ahead with mods as well.

Looking pretty good on casual inspection. Question will always be if the writing can back it up and these days I need to worry about whether I can actually run it in an acceptable manner.

News - Horizon Chase Turbo is getting delisted after the Epic Games layoffs
By Craggles086, 27 Mar 2026 at 7:53 am UTC

Yep, Aquirus really went downhill after being bought by Epic,
and that is after Horizon Chase 2 was locked to Apple Store for a year.

Major disappointment..

Guess exclusives don’t work outside the console space.

Quoting: KrejsyLainenHow is this a thing? Almost every gamedeveloper nowadays are using unreal engine + they have the epic store, how are they this impacted by just Fortnite losing players?
Fortnite is (was?) HUGE.

It seems it used to have more active players than all Steam games combined.

Surprisingly little, based on the changelog; I haven't poked at it much, but it seems pretty stable.

Quoting: Billli11Did you have env set in launch option?
Looks like the latest build has fixed that already.

But what about the 9950X4D AMD? We need to further stack dimensions and use time to fully optimize our CPU processes. ⏰

ok let's be so fr here he wasn't advocating for all linux users to be flayed in the town square he just sucks up to Microsoft way too much. the fact Unreal 5 natively compiles for Linux at all when it released during an era of decreasing Linux ports and increasing reliance on Proton shows he isn't pulling out all the stops to actively sabotage Linux adoption, he's just really slow and wants Microsoft to buy out his failed company.

Currently rocking the 7800x3d cpu. Pretty happy with it. It's one of those rare unicorn CPUs because it combined the best value and nearly the best performance, while defeating Intel easily in almost everything. I haven't regretted my purchase at all. I just wish all CPU purchases were this way.

Quoting: GoEsrNvidia didn't start supporting Adaptive Sync until 2019, so it's unlikely but you could try it easily enough by disabling G-Sync (assuming your monitor's OSD gives you the option).
It does not.

This is cool, but likely overkill for most people. For pure gaming, 8 cores is more than enough. I recently upgraded to a 9800x3D and man, what a beast! I've yet to max it out even with my most demanding and largest zoo builds. Even the 7700x or 7800x3D would probably been fine for most people, unless you're doing heavy productivity work. AMD themselves said that the double cache is unlikely to improve gaming performance.

Quoting: EhvisIt didn't help that my current monitor is g-sync and that switching colours meant I'd have to go Freesync and get a new monitor as well. Just didn't feel like researching that.
What monitor do you have? I do know of any monitor that supports G-Sync but not Freesync (or adaptative sync).

Asus ROG PG348. One with an actual nvidia board. If it supports Freesync/Vesa adaptive sync, it isn't mentioned.

May I ask why you don't like liquid coolers? My last two CPUs have both had liquid coolers, and they are straightforward to set up and work well.
Watercooling takes less space in the buiild, but is overall more prone to failures (not just leaking, but pump failures and air bubbles leading to increased noise). It's a reason I've stuck to aircooling until now, even on a 13900K and now a 9950X3D.

I suppose the 9950X3D2 will work fine on a high-end aircooler (I use a Noctua NH-D15 personally), but you'll want to undervolt it like any high-end CPU to keep the power consumption to reasonable levels. I have my 9950X3D on -30 curve optimizer and it barely throttles at full all-core loads (much less than the 13900K at -90 mV did).

Liam, Thank you for posting your experience with FSR & the FPS experience you are getting with your hardware setup.
I missed the news whenever FSR started working on linux.

I will need to upgrade form my ancient GTX 770 to a low end AMD video card whenever prices come back to earth in like 3 years.
