Most years, I log on to work over the Black Friday weekend with the intention of discussing the best deal I've bought. This time I've had my eye on extra storage, with a Lexar 4TB SSD (-19% off at $187) making it all the way through checkout. However, I cancelled once I remembered that the Alienware R10 it was destined for, which I bought a couple of Black Fridays ago (and honestly have regretted due to the hassle it's caused) only has one NVMe slot. I don't have the brainspace to futz around with an adapter or migrating my data on the current drive, particularly as the case is such a pig to deal with that I hast actually drawn blood. So instead, let's talk mini-fridges, and why they're one of the best upgrades you can make to your PC gaming setup.
Revenant Hill has been canceled due to "serious health issues" affecting the team
08.11.2023 - 10:23 / techradar.com
The Glory Society, the team behind the upcoming Night in the Woods akin adventure game Revenant Hill, has taken to Twitter to share that development of the title has stopped due to serious health issues affecting the team and causing members to step away from the project.
The statement begins: “Making anything complex poses challenges along the way. Games take a while to make and usually require a good team working together. We’ve been lucky to have one such good team. Unfortunately, recent serious health issues have necessitated two key members stepping away from the project indefinitely.
We are a small team and we each wear multiple hats. This is a loss of several hard-to-replace hats in an environment where all hats are needed. Given the realities of schedules, budgets, and the fraught task of reworking the whole project within those parameters, the team has amicably decided to suspend operations. For all intents and purposes, this is the end of the development of Revenant Hill.”
The full statement posted to Twitter can be seen below:

Revenant Hill was first announced in May, offering a trailer as the first look into a new take on a familiar world. Although not a direct sequel to 2017’s Night in the Woods, it appeared to boast a similar tone and art style which sparked a lot of interest from fans of the game, which is why news of the development being canceled has sparked such upset.
With that said, the team didn’t explicitly state that the operations of The Glory Society would be suspended indefinitely, so there’s still potential that the team will continue working together in the future, but for now, the health of those affected is the primary focus.

Payday 3 hasn't had updates because of a 'critical error in our backend', Starbreeze says the launch has been 'frustrating'
It's fair to say that Payday 3 hasn't had the smoothest of launches, but then it was never the easiest of sells. Payday 2 came out in 2013 and amassed a dedicated following, then Payday 3 came along and, on the surface at least, didn't seem to change an enormous amount about how the game worked but committed the cardinal sin of going live service and then… nothing. Since launch there have been plenty of complaints about its offering but only one minor patch, leaving players wondering what exactly was going on.
