Great article Alex, hope you're on the mend now. Your story of injuring your back in the most mundane way is very familiar: thankfully any issues I've had were muscular, so tended to fully clear up in a few weeks/months, but I've done the most damage via some kind of rigorous physical activity the day prior then being tipped over the edge by a sneeze, or tying my shoelace! Back issues suck, you take care (and also please write more website articles, you tell a good story)
I think a good ML upscaling option is absolutely essential for any future gaming handhelds (as shown by Switch 2), and the lack of current options is why I've never really felt compelled to upgrade my Steam Deck. If Intel can come in with a good alternative and push AMD to innovate it can only be a good thing.
I traded in some PS1 games to fund a PS2. Still haunts me to this day. Otherwise, I still have every game and console we ever had, starting from a Grandstand, running through the Master System, Game Gear and Mega Drive and then onto the 3D consoles. The only ones where I don't still have the originals are the PS3 and Xbox 360 as they died. They'll pry those consoles from my cold, dead hands.

Re: Unreal Engine 3: The Look, The Limits, The Legacy
John missed a trick by not subtitling that video "Thick...and big". Just at that point now, laughed as hard as Mark 😆

Sounds like Alex won't be happy until his Shader Butler can also clean his flat.
Make it so, massive multinational companies.

Re: Interview: Sektori's sole dev on Housemarque past, tuning Unity to 60fps
Excellent game and excellent feature. Just found out imgur is banned in the UK though so can only imagine those joyful GIF-filled explanations 😆
Re: Review: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition: painful downgrades on Switch 2
Rich with his "The Black Friday discount season is upon us" advert is the biggest jump scare in gaming right now.

This is really good news, I've always preferred to pay annually.
