Most gamers install a mouse, leave every setting on default, and never touch it again. That is a mistake, and in 2026 it is a bigger one than ever. Flagship sensors like PixArt’s PAW3950 now ship with a 30,000 DPI ceiling, Logitech’s HERO 2 tops out at 44,000 DPI with 888 IPS tracking, and wireless…
Original cartridge gaming just got a new contender. Hyperkin’s SupaBoy Crimson and Prime handhelds are shipping October 28, 2026, at $129.99, promising something software emulation can’t: a slot that accepts a real Super Nintendo or Super Famicom cartridge and plays it with no ROM file, no account, and no firmware update involved. That launch reopens…
Four years after its Kickstarter campaign closed, Penny Blood still doesn’t have a publisher. On October 2, 2026, series creator Matsuzo Machida gave backers and fans the update nobody wanted but most expected: the Shadow Hearts spiritual successor remains without a publishing partner, and the main game’s production has not moved forward. As AUTOMATON reported,…
Most tutorials about running dedicated game servers on Kubernetes point at the same three clouds: Google Kubernetes Engine, Amazon EKS, or Azure Kubernetes Service. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure rarely comes up, even though Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is CNCF-certified, ships a genuinely free cluster control plane tier, and has been an officially documented installation…
NVIDIA quietly rewrote the economics of cloud gaming on the living room TV this week. On October 2, 2026, the Shield TV Pro jumped from $199.99 to $299.99, a 50% increase on a box that first shipped in 2019, while the standard Shield TV was discontinued outright. That single price change turns a settled market…
Sam Altman told the world the singularity is here, and he sounded thrilled about it. On a late-July appearance on the podcast Relentless, the OpenAI chief executive said, “We are now, like, in the singularity,” and followed it with a line that has since been quoted everywhere from cable news chyrons to Discord servers: “I’ve…
Screen tearing ruins fast-paced games before you even notice frame rate numbers. A diagonal split across the display during a 360-degree turn in a shooter, or a stutter mid-pan in an open-world title, almost always traces back to one thing: the monitor refreshing on its own clock while the GPU renders on a different one.…
Broadcom has locked in a chip-pricing arrangement with Samsung Electronics that mirrors the terms Nvidia commands from its own memory suppliers, according to media reports cited by ad-hoc-news.de on October 4, 2026. The agreement builds on the $200 billion memorandum of understanding Samsung and Broadcom signed on July 25, 2026, and it puts Broadcom’s custom…
Anthropic shipped Claude Sonnet 5.5 on September 28, 2026, and the model has already become the default mid-tier pick for developers who need strong coding performance without paying flagship prices. If you have been running production workloads on Claude Sonnet 5 or an older Claude model, the upgrade path is mostly a one-line change, but…
Four months remain in 2026, and the year’s release calendar is nowhere near finished. On September 30, 2026, Top Gear (syndicated the same week on Top Gear Philippines) published a roundup titled “Here are seven huge videogames still to come in 2026,” written by Phil Iwaniuk, arguing that the year’s headline event isn’t the only…
