You know all of those miserable towns you find in fantasy RPGs like The Witcher and Diablo, usually in a swamp where the locals live in a precarious balance with whatever monstrosity demands they feed it children? How do they even survive out there? That’s the idea behind Gord: A blend of roleplaying, real-time strategy, and colony simulation that should lead to making tough choices in areas like careful building, precarious combat, and tense emergent story. Instead, each of the three aspects is implemented in such a barebones way that not one of them is deeper than a quagmire or remotely entertaining. The result is about as engaging as living in a swampy, miserable town you're desperate to leave, and when you finally do and your parents ask why you never visit you tell them it's because not only is their town not fun, it has bad inventory management to boot.
Corsair K65 Pro Mini Review
26.07.2023 - 20:07 / mmorpg.com / Pro
The Corsair K65 Pro Mini is out and has made several design improvements. From beveled edges to sound dampening, Corsair has taken a lot of prior feedback and implemented it well. It’s a great 65% keyboard, but do these improvements push it beyond the previous model’s quality and performance? We think so and are ready to tell you exactly why this is a keyboard you won’t want to miss.
The Corsair K65 Pro Mini is out, and it is a quality 65% keyboard for those looking to limit their peripheral footprint and maintain quality performance. Unboxing the K65 Pro Mini was quick and easy. Along with the keyboard, the box contained a braided USB Type-C to Type-A cable, safety booklet, warranty booklet, and alternate spacebar. While there was no keycap puller, it was easy to pull the default spacebar and replace it.
Corsair has made several design improvements to the K65 Pro Mini while maintaining the quality of earlier versions. It's a solid keyboard; I barely noticed any flex while typing or testing it by hand under pressure. The edges are now beveled, removing any sharpness, making it comfortable to handle. The Type-C port has been recessed further at the top of the board to prevent additional stress on the connector when moving the keyboard. Corsair also added height adjustment feet to the back of the board. The feet are rubber-tipped, which is a nice touch. The K65 Pro Mini feels higher quality while handling it when compared to the K65 RGB Mini.
The key lighting is excellent. Almost every key is clear at a glance. The font used is cleaner than many other keyboards I have used. The only issue some users may have is with a few keys with an alternate function on the bottom side of the keycap. These are unlit and can be hard to see in darker lighting. Installing the iCUE software was an easy process. After heading to the Corsair website, I downloaded the installer quickly, and it detected the K65 Pro Mini without issue.
Corsair’s software is a great experience. I could navigate it without much issue and layer my effects to create custom lighting or pick a default mural effect if I wanted to set up my lightning quickly. The pop-up tutorial/info windows helped with learning the basics quickly. I also liked the widgets used to monitor various system temperatures through the iCUE software. It was nice to see a few additional plugins that I could use to integrate certain other 3rd party devices. I did notice the software could use some system resources at times, but it never impacted my gameplay.
I have been using the K65 Pro Mini for a week now. The gaming and typing performance has been excellent, with no ghosting. Two layers of sound dampening are now part of the K65 design to reduce the sharpness
RODECaster Duo Review: The RODECaster Pro II Mini
When we reviewed the RODECaster Pro II , we found that it was one of the best podcast and content creation solutions out there. With four separate inputs, it was large and for many streamers and home creators, it left you paying for connectivity you might not need — in both space and dollars. The RODECaster Duo is the solution. Smaller, cheaper, but no less feature-rich and powerful, it’s a tremendous option if you only need two mic inputs. Find out more in this review!

The future of developer Striking Distance has been a bit of an open question recently. Founded by Dead Space co-creator Glen Schofield and backed by PUBG publisher Krafton, the studio launched The Callisto Protocol last year to… less than enthusiastic reviews. Since then, we haven’t heard much about what Striking Distance might be doing next, if anything. Considering the studio was purpose-built to make The Callisto Protocol, what happens when the game doesn’t do so well?
