Thanks to the very hungry AI industry and the resulting memory supply crisis, RAM is reaching prices I naively once thought impossible. Between the tail end of 2025 and now, I’ve had a bit of a rude awakening, let me tell ya. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get RAM for a reasonable price—you just … Read more

It comes as a surprise to absolutely no one that Subnautica 2 has finally surpassed 5 million copies sold. It did sell two million copies in just 12 hours after all.
