Hogwarts Legacy has received a huge patch which points its wand at spiders and says “expelliarmus!” A new Arachnophobia mode has been added which, when toggled, changes the appearance of all the game’s spiders, removes their skitters and screeches, and removes certain spider-centric effects from the game.

Developer Avalanche has been on a squishing mission and the patch notes are voluminous with multiple save game fixes, various fixes to…
Samsung thinks it can surpass TSMC’s world-beating microchip fabrication tech within five years. So says Kyung Kye-hyun, president and head of Samsung’s semiconductor business.

Welcome to the Best Games Ever Show episode 50: The best game that is uncomfortably pro-monarchy. Video games are absurdly monarchist. Nintendo’s biggest franchises both have you running around after a princess. Final Fantasy is littered with royals showing up as quest givers, party members, and protagonists. Fable III is entirely about seizing your divine right to rule, and leads to an infamous sequence where you are tasked with deciding the fate of the kingdom through a series of binary decisions: the point of the sequence is, arguably, to show how difficult it is for a sovereign to keep…
