We’ve known for a while Starfield would have a new persuasion system somewhat similar to earlier Bethesda RPGs, but we didn’t know exactly how it would work. The new video provides some detail. Once you opt to persuade somebody, you’ll have several dialogue options, with each costing a certain amount of points depending on their brazenness (where these points come from is currently unclear). You also have a certain number of turns to successfully persuade your subject....

Update 3.2 brings the option to adjust in-game screen refresh rate on the fly. The default value is set to 60hz, but it is possible to slide it down to 40hz. The new Steam Deck SteamOS update also introduces a new OS-controlled fan curve which will make the console quieter in low usage scenarios. The Steam Deck SteamOS 3.2 update is accompanied by a new Steam Client update that makes Remote Play Together completely functional on Steam Deck....

Remember back in August when we covered Dragon Ball FighterZ finally receiving rollback netcode after four and a half years? Or how about Guilty Gear Xrd getting its rollback beta back in October? Stormgate looks to incorporate that technology by using an engine that has rollback as part of its infrastructure. This is a rather interesting overlap with the fighting game community, as the idea of rollback netcode has been a sore spot for the community for the past couple of years....

Tablets Are Kept Longer Than Smartphones and Adding a microSD Card Slot Would Have Eaten Into Samsung’s Margins Open up the specs sheet of the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup and compare it to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and the Galaxy S22 Ultra; you will find Samsung giving preference to its tablet family when it comes to storage expansion. For the consumer, it means paying more for a higher storage variant in case they need the extra onboard memory to carry around a multitude of files....

Let’s jump into the tweet that has now been deleted while writing this piece. Also fair warning, mostly a commentary/opinion piece. It’s almost baffling that a CEO has posted this, but he has. It’s just absurd, and it’s ridiculous for so many reasons. The first thing we know now is that Striking Distance Studios, developing the upcoming Callisto Protocol, seemingly has a disgusting- work culture of soul-destroying crunch. They work 12 to 15 hours daily and six to seven days weekly....

Terra (LUNA), a public blockchain protocol that powers a number of stablecoins, grabbed the attention of the crypto world recently as LUNA – the protocol’s native token – registered gains of over 85 percent relative to the year-to-date low of $44.24, based on the current price of $82.12. In fact, the current rally was sufficient to briefly turn LUNA green for the year. While the token has since then given up some of its gains, its bullish proponents argue that further outsized gains are sure to follow after a period of consolidation....

While you continue deciding, let us go through some of the TUF Dash F15’s specifications real quick. The chassis is a combination of metal and plastic, but overall, it has a sturdy build quality. It comes with a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz display, along with Intel’s Core i7-12650H CPU. Using Intel’s hybrid architecture, this chip features a total of 10 CPU cores, with four of them handling the more demanding tasks and the remaining six focusing on power efficiency....

Let’s break it down; Striking Distance Studios’ newest venture is meant to have additional content after release if the Season Pass is anything to go off of. Glen Schofield has some comments relating to the game’s general atmosphere, though. In an interview with Inverse, he stated that “The key to good horror will always be good audio. The player should feel like every little sound is about to come through the walls....

This means that Tensor G2 found in the Pixel 7 series is not utilizing a 4nm processor. Some confusion surely has arisen from the pre-release benchmarks and the fact that Google decided not to confirm the process used for Tensor G2 during the keynote. Sure, there were claims of 60% speed and 20% efficiency gains over the previous generation, but no concrete information was shared. Much-Hyped Tensor G2 Turns Out to be Built On 5nm Fabrication Process Instead of 4nm A Google spokesperson actually confirmed to Android Authority that the Tensor G2 is, in fact, built using the 5nm process....

The remake, which will be powered by Unreal Engine 5 as confirmed on the series’ official website, is currently in development by Polish developer Fool’s Theory, with CDPR providing full creative supervision. The project was previously known by the codename Canis Major, as outlined by CD Projekt Red earlier this month. The Witcher Remake is what you might know by the codename “Canis Majoris”. It’s still early and we want to ensure that the game is created with the utmost care and attention to detail, therefore, while we’re excited to share the news with you, we want to ask you for patience as it will be a while until we start talking about this project in detail....

Following the trailer’s debut, Geoff Keighley also hosted a roundtable interview with Jamie Ottilie ( CEO of the new Telltale) and Nick Herman, AdHoc Studio co-founder and director for The Wolf Among Us 2. There, we learned about the addition of The Scarecrow and Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. The new season includes a new ‘mundy’ (that is to say, human) character, a New York detective called Faye Leung....

As someone who spent more a little time dropkicking foot soldiers back in the day, I’m in. A co-development between French studio Dotemu (Streets of Rage 4) and the Montreal, Canada-based Tribute Games (Flinthook), TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge looks to resurrect the feel of the old Konami brawlers while forging its own path. Here are the game’s key features… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is coming to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch sometime this summer....

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has approved more capital expenditures in order to expand its chip fabrication capacity. TSMC is the world’s largest contract semiconductor manufacturer, and the company is now facing competition from U.S. chip giant Intel Corporation who also plans to enter the market. Intel saw its cash flows drop last year as it committed billions of dollars to build new plants. With today’s approval, TSMC has allocated a little over half of its fiscal year 2022 capital expenditure which the company announced at its latest earnings call held last month....

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will soon start to manufacture semiconductors with its advanced chipmaking technology later this year according to a fresh report. TSMC is currently aiming to build semiconductors on the 3-nanometer process technology, and an earlier report that surfaced last week suggested that the company had managed to secure important orders for its technology, an important step for a chipmaker looking to usher in new technologies....

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is reportedly facing difficulties with its next-generation 3-nanometer (nm) semiconductor fabrication process. TSMC is the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer and it counts some of the world’s largest technology firms in its list of customers. Its 3nm process is set to enter production in the second half of this year according to earlier statements made by management. However, a fresh report from the Taiwanese publication DigiTimes believes that TSMC is facing yield problems with the 3nm process, which can harm the expected production volumes expected from the planned volume production in H2 2022....

In the wake of the ongoing crisis in Europe, the United States Department of Commerce announced a broad set of sanctions against the Russian Federation late last week. These sanctions will amend several portions of U.S. law and make the criteria of approval of transfer of equipment to Russia significantly more stringent than the old rules. The sanctions are targeted primarily at the Russian government, military and associated entities, and they cover a large variety of items, several of them technological, in order to prevent Russian military and intelligence services from developing new capabilities and degrade existing ones....
