We still have not changed out the goals and technology tiles though. This was one of our highest scoring games yet but I won again, 180-153.

by SilentTempest What aspects did you like and what are you into? For example, are you playing with the recommended starter decks? Do you like deck-building? If you're right into deck-building and competing in that way then a small part of me wants to recommend a second base game so each of you can engage in a deck-building arms race without needing the same cards. If deck-building isn't your thing, read on...The expansions contain characters that are quite specialised and have their own schticks / special rules. I'm not sure any particular expansion would be "better" than another, although others may have different opinions. I think maybe just go for what you think sounds cool. Other than the Ninja expansion, each has 2 characters that don't necessarily need to be used against each other.

Lowering the lows down to 1-4 gives you more space for nuance in your 5-10s. Or maybe, and hear me out on this, they have a different ranking preference than you?

27 July 2024 @ 8:00 am

We also already know some of the specs of the upcoming budget model. Now we get some detailed renders to enjoy as well.

27 July 2024 @ 5:28 am

Nothing is launching the Phone (2a) Plus on July 31, and it will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM. That much has been revealed by the company itself, but what about the other specs? What makes this "Plus" version superior to the original Nothing Phone (2a)? A new leak today answers precisely that question. Let's start off by saying that if you were expecting the word "Plus" to be about physical size, you'll be disappointed. The Phone (2a) Plus is rumored to sport the exact same display as the Phone (2a). It will be offered in gray and black and...

Google Pixel 9 leaks in all colors

27 July 2024 @ 2:36 am

It's been a crazy week for Pixel leaks, and they don't seem to be stopping. Following a previous leak today of some promo videos for the Pixel 9 family and official cases for the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, now we have the 'vanilla' Pixel 9 leaking in all the colorways in which it will be offered. This follows a similar leak showcasing all hues of the Pixel 9 Pro yesterday. So, the Pixel 9 will come in Obsidian, Porcelain, Rose, and Green. Google Pixel 9 in Rose As you can see here and as you've been able to see from multiple other leaks, Google is changing the design...

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 price leaks

26 July 2024 @ 11:47 pm

Yesterday Google's upcoming Pixel Buds Pro 2 leaked in all the colorways in which they're expected to be sold, and today it's time for pricing information to be outed. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 will allegedly cost $229, €249, and £219, respectively in the US, EU, and UK. That's a slight increase of $30 / €20 / £20 compared to the original Pixel Buds Pro which came out in 2022. The new earbuds come with a similarly shaped but apparently slightly larger case, which may hide a bigger battery. The buds themselves will hopefully have better features than their predecessors. The Pixel Buds...

Google Pixel 9 Pro cases and official promo videos leak

26 July 2024 @ 8:59 pm

It's a new day, so it's time for some new Pixel leaks. Google may have been trying to prevent comprehensive leaks of its upcoming devices by holding its annual launch event two months early in August, but that clearly hasn't worked at all. Following yesterday's barrage of Pixel leaks, today we have a ton of newly leaked promo materials, leaked promo videos, and leaked official cases. So let's dive in. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL's official cases have been leaked. The former device will get silicon cases in Charcoal, Porcelain, Hazel, Rose, and Aloe. That last one is strange...

Samsung Galaxy A06 gets listed in India

26 July 2024 @ 5:58 pm

Samsung's Galaxy A06 is coming soon, and it might actually arrive very soon. The device has now been listed on Samsung India's support pages, with the model number SM-A065F/DS. This obviously means India will be one of the markets where it will be available. The "DS" suffix in its model number also tells us it will have dual-SIM functionality. The Galaxy A06 has previously been certified by the Bluetooth SIG, BIS, NBTC, and the FCC. It was also spotted in the Geekbench online database a while back, and that run revealed the fact that it will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, just...

Poco M6 Plus launches on August 1

26 July 2024 @ 1:45 pm

Poco has now announced that it's officially launching the M6 Plus in India on August 1. This phone will be the newest member of the M6 family, and Poco has already teased the fact that it has a 108 MP main camera with 3x in-sensor zoom and f/1.75 aperture. Interestingly, this looks a lot like the Redmi 13 5G which launched earlier this month, so it could be a rebranding of that model. It definitely wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary for Poco. If this pans out, then expect the Poco M6 Plus to sport a 6.79-inch 1080x2460 120 Hz LCD touchscreen, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC,...

WhatsApp reaches 100 million monthly users in the US

26 July 2024 @ 1:00 pm

It's been a long, hard, windy road but WhatsApp has finally reached 100 million monthly active users in the US. That market is notoriously enamored with Apple's iMessage so this is quite the feat for WhatsApp - unlike ever other place in the world where WhatsApp is as dominant as iMessage is in the US, or more. This information is official and comes straight from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The fastest-growing markets for WhatsApp in the US are Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle. The company is also saying it's experienced "significant growth" in the South, with Texas having more than...

26 July 2024 @ 12:30 pm

Realme is launching the 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ in India on July 30, and ahead of that it's revealed some more details about the duo. For starters, it looks like both models will have a 5,200 mAh battery with 80W wired charging support and they will be powered by a Snapdragon 7 series chipset. It's unclear which one, however, since the brand stopped short of naming names. The devices will have dual Sony 50 MP camera sensors with dual OIS, the "world's first Sony LYT-701" sensor in the Pro+, as well as the "world's first Sony LYT-600 periscope" also in the Pro+. By the looks of things, it will...

27 July 2024 @ 8:17 am

Core Ultra 7 265KF This might be our first look at Arrow Lake-S carrying an official name. The upcoming Arrow Lake-S processor, listed as Core Ultra 7 265KF, is the first next-gen Intel CPU to leak. The SKU is equipped with 8 Performance cores and 12 Efficient cores, providing a total core count of 20. As we know, Lion Cove and Skymont architectures do not support hyperthreading, so the thread count will also be 20.

Intel finally provides a clearer overview of Raptor Lake instability issues No recall, no fix for affected CPUs, investigation still ongoing. Intel has responded to press inquiries about the instability issues affecting 13th and 14th Gen Core processors. Questions from The Verge to Intel were prompted by an earlier, rather underwhelming statement that did not explicitly confirm how widespread the problem is and how affected customers should address it. The new answers finally clarify what users might do and what they should do if their CPUs are already affected. For the first time, Intel confirmed that the instability problem might affect...Keep on reading: Intel confirms no recall for Raptor Lake CPUs, microcode won’t fix affected units

ASRock X600TM-ITX board World's first "Thin Mini ITX" with AM5 socket. This is as close as DIY builders can get to their own NUC systems.

NVIDIA typically has several embargoes for each product, covering areas like product disclosure, unboxing, reviews, and even the MSRP and non-MSRP models. CPU launches tend to be a bit simpler, as there are no custom CPUs to review, but they still have multiple embargoes, such as with the Ryzen 9000 series. For the Zen5 launch, AMD has set up at least four embargoes. This number increases to five if reviews are included...Keep on reading: AMD Ryzen 9000 reviews will be posted day before launch
