Google Docs on the web will soon let you leave emoji reactions in documents. At the moment, the service only lets you add a comment on documents but that is going to change now as you will be able to leave thumbs up, fire, or any other emoji that you wish to do so. Emojis in Google Docs is a Weird But Fun Looking Feature The process of doing so is going to be even simpler, you will just have to highlight a word or a passage in a document and you will see an emoji button appear on the left side between the comment and edit buttons....

Google Wants Your Pixel Watch to be As Customizable As You Would Like During the event, Google showed off the Google Pixel Watch’s soft-touch silicone band in a number of colors. Those are most likely going to be the basic option and will probably come with the watch by default. It is not being reported that Google is planning on offering three color-matched Milanese bands that will have woven stainless steel and a magnetic clasp....

Officially, Gotham Knights only allows up to two-player co-op, but that always seemed a bit strange considering that the team of Batman-trained heroes consists of four characters. It is possible that developer Warner Bros. Montréal might have decided to expand that, though we can’t rule out a clerical error from the PlayStation Store side. Either way, we should know more about Gotham Knights soon, given its release date set for October 25th....

GPU Market Sees Massive Decline In Q2 2022 As NVIDIA, AMD, GPU Demand & Shipments Hit The Bottom of the Barrel Q2 2022 has been brutal for GPU companies, primarily NVIDIA. While both Intel and AMD also saw a huge decline in shipments, NVIDIA saw the worst of it. As such, all vendors are working to offer a further round of price cuts on their existing GPUs to clear away the inventory and we have seen the results of this reach the retail market already....

It would seem Jarrard is implying 343 doesn’t currently have the resources to get new content out at a reasonable pace, which is… rather baffling. This is Halo! The biggest gaming franchise of a trillion-dollar company! 343 Industries has over 400 employees! I can’t imagine what “constraints” they’re suffering under, unless they’re really using their resources inefficiently. Halo Infinite is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S....

So, what will Halo Infinite Season 2 actually include? 343 has been answering that question in a piecemeal sort of way over the past couple weeks – we know we’re getting one new arena map called Catalyst, a new BTB map called Breaker, and some more modes, including the classic King of the Hill and a pair of new options in Land Grab and Last Spartan Standing. One thing we won’t be getting is the ability to play the campaign with a friend, as 343 has delayed co-op to a future update....

The new trailer from the first-person game developed by Ricky & Morty co-creator Justin Roiland and Squanch Games, which has been shown during yesterday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022, showcases an intense boss battle filled with all sorts of remarks from a talking gun and knife. You can check out the trailer below. High On Life launches on PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One on December 13th, following a short delay....

When you compare Aloy’s Focus to that of Sam “Porter” Bridges’ BB, there are some instant similarities between the scanning capabilities of both futuristic devices. In addition to being able to scan out points of interest (typically enemy combatants and their various strengths, weaknesses or equipment), they can also be used to give a quick snapshot of the environment and the immediate hazards presented. In Death Stranding, these hazards are clearly marked by simple colored lines and symbols that chart out the intensity of a given path, ranging from blue to yellow to red given the intensity and the sheer amount of difficulty Sam Bridges would have at traversing them....

Those who have been wondering how long it will take them to complete the story mode within the upcoming Zero Dawn sequel will be happy to hear that it will about as long as its predecessor. At least, that’s what the game director has reportedly told German gaming outlet GamePro.de when asked about the game’s length. For reference, Zero Dawn’s main story mode could be completed within roughly 20 to 24 hours, although some managed to complete it in 15 hours....

Here’s everything you need to know about Hunt: Showdown’s Serpent Moon event… The Serpent Moon Live Event brings a supernatural infestation of snakes to the bayou. Deadly serpents appear in snake dens throughout the bayou, and it’s down to you to capture snakes and sacrifice them on altars. However, these snakes will attack you if you make too much noise on your approach, so you must balance the reward of greater event points, and greater rewards, for looting and sacrificing snakes against a lower amount of event points for simply destroying them....

To do this, the researchers leveraged the power of AI, more specifically through the so-called neural radiance fields. NeRFs use neural networks to reconstruct the scene from the images by predicting the color of light radiating in any direction. NVIDIA claims Instant NeRF to be the fastest technology of its kind yet, allowing for a multiplicative speed-up of over 1,000x in some instances so that rendering at 1080p occurs in mere milliseconds....

Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake CPU Source Code Reportedly Leaked Online Following Hack VX-Underground has tweeted that the source code to the Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs has been leaked online.

Intel’s First Discrete Gaming Graphics Card In The Arc Alchemist A-Series Launching In Summer 2022 The Intel ARC Alchemist graphics card was first visually demonstrated by YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead. Intel’s new card originally showcased a black cover with an elongated green printed circuit board back when we first saw it as an engineering sample. Later, it was showcased with a modern silver aesthetic but the latest shots once again show a black-colored shroud....

Intel Talks Arc GPUs: Ray Tracing Performance Better Than NVIDIA RTX, Competitive Prices, Future Arc GPUs PCGamer’s Senior Hardware Editor, Jacob Ridley, went on a trip to Berlin where IFA 2022 is taking place. There, he sat down with Intel’s marketing gurus, Tom Peterson and Ryan Shrout who gave away some meaty info regarding their Arc GPUs. There’s a lot to cover but to sum it up, we get a few details on Intel’s RTU (Ray Tracing Unit) and its performance, what the prices of Intel Arc GPUs would look like, and where Arc goes from here in the future....

Raptor Lake-P open-source graphics support finds home in the upcoming Mesa 22.2 kernel Micheal Larabel of Linux website Phoronix points out that the enablement of Intel’s Raptor Lake-P support is minor. Mesa 22.2 has already acquired Raptor Lake-S support from Intel open-source developers. RPL-S and RPL-P are only a further addition to driver code paths for Alder Lake, and similar 12th Gen-based graphics are already available. With this new enablement, Intel added six PCI IDs and about twelve lines of code to the already lengthy kernel:...
