The announcement was made through a News post on TERA’s website that reads as follows: So, what does this mean for the game at the current time? Well, it’s still going to be available to play for a short time like any other game that’s going through an End of Service doom call. The servers for TERA will be switched off at 10 AM CEST (4 AM EDT) on 30th June 2022....
Intel Arc GPU outperforms Apple M1 Max SOC in video decoder performance tests Readers should note that Apple shines in CPU performance. It offers a higher quality, but only by a slim margin. However, it does take a hit in graphical performance. An example is NVIDIA’s newer RTX 30 series taking close to a third less time to render than the Apple M1 Max can. The two significant parts of the Twitter thread between David Huang and user @Adol_Christin is below....
The Clownfish Wallpaper Makes a Return With Apple’s Latest iOS 16 Beta 3 The iPhone has come a long way. From a small 3.5-inch screen to a 6.7-inch screen, the iPhone has changed drastically for the better. Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to feature a major redesign with the dual-cutout display. In addition, iOS 16 will also be a major update considering the number of features coming later this year with the final release....
If you’re like me, you have played previous releases by Supermassive Games, and you’re going to be quite familiar with what to expect here. For those who aren’t, they are story-driven games. They’re almost adventure-game-like in their structure and gameplay, but the choices and consequences tend to be far more branching than other games generally allow. These choices will invariably result in death; it’s just a case of how many deaths you’ll cause....
The Gunk is a story-driven action game following two explorers, Rani and Beck, as they discover a power source from an uncharted planet. Deciding to investigate, the two land there, and Rani leaves the ship to find answers. What she discovers is much more than just a power source, with an abandoned civilization, the titular Gunk, which, upon clearing it, restores the planet’s beauty, and an alien companion named Hari....
Two of the new comparison videos, which have been put together by Cycu1, compare all of the cutscenes between the remake and the Remastered release in 16:9 and 21:9 aspect ratios. These videos are obviously filled with spoilers, so those who never experienced the game developed by Naughty Dog should avoid watching them. Another comparison video shared by ElAnalistaDeBits focuses on the graphics details and compares them with those featured in the sequel, such as animations, physics, environments, and more....
The first game in the Crossbell arc will release on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on September 27th in North America and on September 30th in Europe. A new The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero story trailer has also been released today. You can check it out below. The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero launches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on September 30th....
To determine your companion’s life expectancy, Time Flies first asks you to choose your country of origin. The seconds of life that your fly is given directly correlate to that country’s average annual life expectancy. I don’t suspect the developers necessarily making a political statement in Time Flies, but I found Taiwan to be conspicuously absent from the roster of countries, while Russia was simply listed as the Russian Federation....
Per Moriarty, the new game is codenamed Jawbreaker and will feature a somewhat older, experienced Lara Croft (CD is apparently looking for a 30-something 5’6” athletic British woman to provide Lara’s voice and presumably do motion capture). Apparently, the game will have a grounded tone with some fantasy elements and interestingly, it seems Lara’s occupation may have been tweaked, with the titular raiding of tombs deemphasized in favor of “protecting” artifacts....
But surely a lot of those bugs will be fixed for launch, right? Well, hopefully, but the developers of Tower of Fantasy are warning that bugs and “shortcomings” will still be present at launch… “We would like to say that we are well aware that Tower of Fantasy still has many shortcomings. We will work hard to improve them, but some bugs and issues may be unavoidable after the official launch....
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has cut down its orders to suppliers according to reports in the Taiwanese press. TSMC, which is facing an industry slowdown as its customers struggle with demand slowdown, cut down capital expenditures for 2022 earlier this year, and the firm cited a lack of demand forecasting as the primary reason behind the drawdown. Now, the firm is also rumored to have significantly reduced its 3-nanometer output estimates for this year, in the latest bit of speculation surrounding the advanced chip manufacturing technology scheduled to enter production in the current quarter....
In the midst of the latest media controversy surrounding SpaceX’s chief Mr. Elon Musk, a blogger from Ukraine has revealed that she and others have been regularly paying for Starlink internet. Starlink shipped its user dishes to Ukraine immediately in the aftermath of the devastating Russian invasion, and since then, usage in the war-torn country has spiked as both civilian and military users continue to rely on the service for their communications needs....
Another day, another Unreal Engine 5 showcase, but we’re pretty sure that fans will appreciate this Half-Life 2 recreation within Epic’s new game engine. Created by ‘TeaserPlay’, this fan concept video uses Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite, Lumen, and Ray Tracing. In addition, Metahuman was used for both G-Man and Gordon Freeman. The showcase also packs some gameplay, and the video is pretty impressive overall. Half-Life fans will likely recognize some environments from the original Half-Life 2, which ‘TeaserPlay’ recreated in the video....
The game by Abyss Studio, which has been announced with an in-engine trailer, will be set in the dark and mysterious world of Nornidia whose order has been broken during the Fire Thief event, which caused the Old Tide to disappear and the devouring Black Tide to appear. It’s in this age of chaos that players will have to uncover the mysteries of this world, delve deeper into the underworld fog, and save the world....
Biostar Readies Custom Radeon RX 6750 XT & RX 6650 XT Graphics Cards For Launch Next Week The most significant concern for Biostar’s newest AMD RX 6750 XT release is that we know the AMD model has a higher TDP than prior models (it sits at 250W power consumption). It also will have a Navi 22-based graphics processor, utilizing 2560 Stream Processors, and Biostar will ship its version with 12GB of GDDR6 memory and a base clock at 18 GBps....
Elon Musk has so far largely escaped any lasting consequences for his characteristic impulsiveness. After all, who can forget the CEO of Tesla’s botched efforts back in 2018 to take the EV giant private with Saudi money or his incessant flouting of constraints placed upon him by the SEC vis-à-vis his use of social media for official communication purposes? Alas, no more, as indicated by Twitter’s recent filings. — Ed Ludlow (@EdLudlow) October 13, 2022 Twitter has submitted a slew of documents as part of the requisite filings with the Delaware Court of Chancery, revealing that Elon Musk is currently under an investigation by the federal authorities in relation to his conduct during the Twitter takeover negotiations....

Downloading watchOS 9.1 beta 4 is very easy, and it is available as an over-the-air update, obviously....

While Apple Does Not Allow You to Upgrade the SSD on Your New Mac Studio, There is Still a Way The SSD on the Mac Studio can be easily replaced since it is not soldered to the board. Users can easily find a compatible replacement and upgrade themselves at home. However, the process is not as seamless as it sounds which we will talk about later on.
