“The Legion Pro 5 earns its stripes with an excellent OLED screen and a punchy keyboard, making it a compelling midrange gaming rig. Its CPU grunt and battery life don’t inspire, but its gaming performance is very solid for the money.”

“My RTX 3080 served me well throughout the years, getting a steady 60 fps at 4K, max settings in my favorite games, but that honeymoon era didn’t last very long. It began a steady decline down to 30 fps until I had to eventually turn down settings. I hated that – I live to experience the full breadth of art in video games. Those beautiful artists put so much into their work, and I just wanted to see it. But could my PC even handle it?”

“After a full day dancing my fingers across the Acer Chromebook Spin 714’s keyboard, I can say with full confidence that this thing is cozy, but not overly cramped. There’s enough room on the deck to support my wrists and the spacing between the keys makes it easy to navigate. The best part is that there’s a nice bouncy feedback to each click. Writers and spreadsheet savants will appreciate the comfort.”

“AMD led the revolution for long-lasting gaming laptops right around when the Asus Zephyrus G14 made its mark. As someone who loves to game and work in the same space, it made for a perfect combination for my needs. It also makes for an excellent college laptop. But after years of toting around AMD hardware, the Zephyrus G14 is making the switch to Intel. I’m a little worried.”

“Despite the length of time, it feels like just yesterday when the original Nintendo Switch launched — I vividly remember rushing over to a GameStop to pick up the Collector’s Edition bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This launch game got me drooling to get my hands on the new experimental hardware.
“But I found myself hesitant this time around. Do I want to pay $500 just to play the new Mario Kart?”

“Heartman, a Bridges researcher of the Death Stranding, has started collecting samples everytime I shower, pee or poop. I don’t really know how I feel about that. But he does turn my bodily fluids into grenades… somehow. When I shower, the bathroom pops out several EX Grenade No. 0, and when I pee, it churns out an EX Grenade No. 1. I bet you can guess what grenade comes out when I poop. I haven’t used one of these grenades against a BT, though. I’m a bit of a hoarder, as it turns out, even with my own reproducible fluids, which is how I inevitably got screwed on one of my runs.
“Thank the manufacturer (epic Cars reference), there’s a physical function row now. In 2025, Dell went all out on design, form over function in many cases—its light-up touch-based function row being one of them. It was challenging to navigate and didn’t feel good to use. And the same could be said with the new XPS 16’s keyboard.”

“In Destiny Rising, the ethereal valley that leads to Haven popped against the gorgeous blues and pinks on the horizon. While it’s not necessarily a gaming phone by trade, the Galaxy S26 Plus put in the work to make the world of Destiny look good.”
