Jimothy, a particularly round raccoon and the internet's latest sensation, has now broken into games
Yesterday I learnt about Jimothy, an adorably round raccoon (possibly with a spine condition) scuttling around Seattle that's gone viral thanks to his unique appearance. It was only a matter of time then before all the brand accounts joined in on the raccoon's newfound celebrity status. He's already crossing over with a bunch of your favourite games.

Specialist equipment
Launching a new SSD in the current hardware climate, even a simple, DRAMless, QLC-packing SSD like the Samsung 990, may seem like starting up a roof thatching business during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius: innocuous idea, apocalyptically bad timing.
Overwatch's attempt at bringing back 6v6 feels like a bad compromise—it just doesn't work
Ever since Overwatch let the 5v5 cat out of the bag in 2022, it's spent most of its time trying to get it back in.

One of the reasons I love wireless gaming headsets is for the range of movement they allow. If my other half yelps about a big bad bug situation, I can hit pause and spring into action while keeping my RGB kitty ears on.
