There’s serious trouble for Intel brewing, according to an industry analyst, who suggests that the beleaguered chipmaker has just 18 months before it will have to stop work on future in-house gaming CPU manufacturing. The only answer is to find a big external customer for its future 14A semiconductor manufacturing process, otherwise the jig is up. Intel has already dipped its toes into the water when it comes to outsourcing, with some parts of its Arrow Lake CPU lineup already produced elsewhere.

Larian's RPG masterpiece will go down in history as one of the best videogames ever made, but it's unfair to measure every successor against it. Not every TTRPG wanting to make the jump has the financial power of Hasbro, the experience of Larian, and the backing of Tencent to make it succeed. I'm ready for the deluge of TTRPG adaptations with smaller scopes and equal amounts of creativity, and Starfinder: Afterlight ( from Spanish studio Epictellers Entertainment) is hoping it can find its niche as another great turn-based RPG.
