ArenaNet is trying something to entice people into its MMO: dragons. Specifically, jokingly telling you that Guild War 2’s dragons are superior to World of Warcraft’s with a cheeky new advert.
While World of Warcraft isn’t specifically mentioned, it’s pretty obvious that the advert is winking at expansion Dragonflight. The short 30-second clip shows off the skyscale mount in a myriad of different skins, along with a griffon, the game’s other mount type, prompting the question: “Why wait to ride a dragon?” A bit of a cocky question, considering the time-gating on actually unlocking the skyscale. It’s a pretty long quest, taking a minimum of four days to complete. Very little in MMO time, but still requires a decent amount of dedication and materials. Then again, that’s even if you meet the prerequisites of hitting max level and unlocking all of Living World Season 4. It’s a lot of work.
Ironically, as many pointed out in a post on the subreddit, your chances of getting a dragon-themed mount in World of Warcraft before Guild Wars 2 are substantially higher. The game has a handful of dragon mounts you can use as soon as you unlock flying at level 30. These regular flying mounts are distinct from Dragonflight’s drake, but still very much dragons.
I don’t think it’s ArenaNet’s intention to draw people in on the basis of dragons alone though—it’s just a bit of fun. The advert is a lighthearted way to poke fun at a competitor by honing in on a shared feature. It is the first time the developer has noted the similarity in style between its dragons and the ones coming to World of Warcraft, but our editor-in-chief Phil Savage noticed them when he wrote about Dragonlfight’s new mounts earlier this year. He did point out, however, that while there’s a lot of mechanical overlap, they aren’t identical.

Forza Horizon 5 supports both Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR 2.2 with its latest update. The Donut Media update brings new story content and cars to the game, but importantly will deliver new ways to maximise your fps.
Nvidia DLSS support makes for a healthy bump in performance for anyone out there with an Nvidia graphics card, which is the majority of PC gamers today. We tend to find DLSS deals relatively well with motion, though that can depend on the version. Forza’s latest update integrates version 2.4.12 (opens in new tab), which can be so-so.
Nvidia’s DLAA (Deep Learning Anti Aliasing) will also be added to the game with the Donut Media update. This uses the Deep Learning engine to produce improved visuals, much like DLSS does, but instead of bumping resolution uses this ability to reduce jagged edges in the final image.
But it’s AMD’s upscaling technology that’s most interesting here, as this is an entirely new version of it, FSR 2.2. Not only is this set to be an improved algorithm for greater upscaling ability, which should mean a sharper image, this technology can be used across most modern graphics cards, regardless of manufacturer. Basically, if you’re an Nvidia GPU owner, try both DLSS and FSR 2.2 and see which one you like the look of most—the world is your oyster.
AMD has also talked a little about what’s coming with its next big version of FSR, FSR 3 (opens in new tab). This should incorporate some form of frame generation, lending to an up to two times performance increase over FSR 2, so says AMD. Though we know little more about it beyond its vague 2023 release date.
If you’d prefer to kill your frame rate instead, there are also two new ray tracing modes headed to the game, ‘ultra’ and ‘extreme.’ Ray tracing has already been serving up some gorgeous close-ups of the cars in-game since launch, but now you’ll be able to extend those glamorous player car reflections to Free Roam, photo mode, and during the actual races.
(Image credit: Microsoft)
There’s a handy table to show when and how ray tracing will be enabled based on your selection in the settings menu, so bear these in mind if you’re looking to crank up your settings.
It sounds pretty taxing, if you ask me, but if you’ve just picked up an RTX 4090 (opens in new tab) then you need something to make it sweat. Owners of that high-end card will also be pleased to know that Forza now recognises its power and will set graphics quality automatically to ‘extreme’. It was before defaulting to ‘low’.
The update (opens in new tab) is available to download right now, and on my machine it’s reportedly going to ask for around 10.9 GB in total.

Forza Horizon 5’s new ‘Donut Media’ update offers some extremely enticing performance and graphical updates for PC gamers, including FSR 2.2/DLSS support and new ray tracing modes. However, one thing that’s just been added that could make a world of difference to a few Horizon festival go-ers is fresh compatibility with 3DRap’s Hand Controller HC1.
3DRap’s Hand Controller HC1 is a throttle and brake that attaches directly onto a PC racing wheel. It allows a user to apply the throttle or brake in-game with two levers within easy reach of their thumb, and since it’s attached to the wheel it’s not going to get in the way or swing out of reach mid-corner.
Much like most pedals sold by top racing wheel manufacturers, both levers on the Hand Controller use hall sensors and bearings to offer a fluid and smooth response both in real-life and transferred in-game.
The 3DRap Hand Controller is intended to be used by sim racers who could find themselves locked out of their favourite, or the newest, racing games due to being unable to use their feet for acceleration or braking.
“On reflection, we came to the conclusion that it wasn’t just about ‘not being able to play a video game. There was much more at stake,” says Italian company 3DRap in a blog post on the controller (opens in new tab) back in 2018.
“For example, being able to adequately prepare for obtaining a license from the comfort of home, or finally being able to experience the thrill of driving a supercar, racing in online championships with your friends. In short, feeling part of a community, without barriers.”
Racing wheel compatibility is not easy, and in fact even Forza Horizon 5 at launch had some teething issues with constant wheel disconnects (opens in new tab). Those were rather swiftly fixed soon after launch, though. 3DRap support has taken a little longer to arrive.
The Hand Controller is available to purchase for €90 (opens in new tab) (pretty much $90 exactly), and comes in left- and right-hand options. Forza Horizon 5’s latest update (opens in new tab) is already available, so you should be good to go if you’re just investing in a Hand Controller today.

Praise the sun, for the entire Dark Souls trilogy is finally back online. Over nine months after being deactivated, FromSoftware has at long last re-enabled online features for Dark Souls Remastered.
The game, along with Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3, had its PvP servers shut down on PC back in January. This was thanks to a serious security vulnerability that was discovered for Dark Souls 3, which allowed some pretty malicious code to be run through its online functionality. It took an entire four months to hear any further news when FromSoftware finally announced that the servers would be returning “progressively,” starting with the third game in the trilogy.
Three months after that, Dark Souls 3 was finally back. At the time, FromSoftware said it was working “to restore these features for all other Dark Souls titles.” Unfortunately, when Dark Souls 2 was resurrected in October, the developer revealed that one original Dark Souls game would get left behind. Prepare to Die Edition was found to have “an aging system” supporting its online features and was promptly nixed from FromSoftware’s to-do list.

That just left Dark Souls: Remastered, completing the developer’s nine-month-long journey to squash the security vulnerability and bring the game back. FromSoftware kept its final triumph very brief, tweeting: “Thank you once again for your patience, understanding, and support.”
It’s wild that it’s taken almost the entirety of 2022 to restore three of the four games deactivated. But at least Dark Souls players are now free to invade, summon and slap together some cheeky (and occasionally massively unhelpful) messages to bamboozle and amuse fellow players in whichever game they like. Except for PtDE, sorry.

Fortnite has just added the Dial-A-Drop to the battle royale and it’s worth hunting down for the extra items it can give you during a game. This can be especially handy if you find yourself running low on resources or just fancy adding an extra weapon or two to your arsenal.
The Dial-A-Drop is needed for a challenge, so there’s extra incentive to find this new consumable. You’ll have three options, so you can pick the drop that will benefit you the most in your current match. First, you’ll need to know where to find the item, and that’s where this guide comes in. Here’s what you need to know about the Fortnite Dial-A-Drop, including where to find it.
How to find a Fortnite Dial-A-Drop
No specific locations guarantee the Dial-A-Drop to spawn, so you’ll need to do a bit of legwork and search chests and floor loot around the map. It’s a rare quality item, too, so you shouldn’t expect to find one too quickly, but areas such as Cloudy Condos and Tilted Towers might be good places to start your search.
Once you grab one, you can call in a Standard, Healing, or Vehicle drop, depending on what you’re after. Here’s what they contain:
Standard: The same as regular supply drop. Contains a mix of weapons, resources, and healing items.
Healing: This drop is restricted to healing and Shield items only.
Vehicle: Drops a pickup truck.
There’s also a chance to find a Dial-A-Drop in one of the regular supply drops that happen throughout the match, so it’s worth checking on these too if you find you’re coming up short.

Microsoft has been trialling a bunch more advertisements and popups through its Windows 11 insider builds, and although these could change, Microsoft may decide to keep these somewhat intrusive features in the final versions of upcoming Windows 11 updates.
It pains me to say it, but yes we may well end up with yet more ads built into our operating system. Windows insiders spotted the ads in a preview build of Windows 11—likely the less stable canary, rather than dev or beta builds—and have warned of their coming (via Windows Latest (opens in new tab)).
The ads in question include a ‘Complete your profile’ notification, a ‘Sign up for Microsoft Account’ suggestion, and a OneDrive alert encouraging you to backup your files. They’re sitting at the top of the session flyout (that little menu when you click your user profile meant for locking, or signing out of the session).
Honestly, just this morning I was trying to figure out how to stop OneDrive from automatically eating up my cloud storage every time I sign into a new machine for testing, now Microsoft wants to notify me about it too. As if it wasn’t enough that we’re plagued by lock screen tips, service promotions in File Explorer, and suggested apps—some are even pre-downloaded, pinned to the Start menu and impossible to uninstall (I’m looking at you Xbox Game Bar).
Sure these little notifications may be helpful for first time PC users, but anyone who’s used a PC for more than a few years will likely find them annoying. The worst part is that there doesn’t appear to be any way to turn the ads off.

This week I am seriously wondering if the world is ending after the McDonalds McCrispy gaming chair (opens in new tab) came out, and the idea of yet more ads on my PC is giving me a mini Orwellian crisis. But hey, at least the sky isn’t filled with advertisements just yet. Oh, wait. (opens in new tab)
Just remember that, although Windows 11 will let you roll back to Windows 10 (opens in new tab), you’ve likely have missed the window by this point, so you might want to turn off automatic updates if you think this is something that’ll bother you.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.
You’ll want to start with a strong word (opens in new tab) like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.
After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).
If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips (opens in new tab), and if you’d like to find out which words have already been used you’ll find those below.
Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab), as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle (opens in new tab), refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures (opens in new tab). Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Half a centimetre doesn’t seem like much, especially when we’re talking about small pieces of plastic. But it turns out it can make all the difference when it comes to fan spacing. Noctua, the brand known for making some of the best PC fans you can get (opens in new tab), has just introduced new inlet spacers that are only 5mm thick.
The new NA-IS1 (opens in new tab) is spacer designed to sit on the fan positioned at any intake points, likely on the side of your machine. It creates a bit of extra space between your fan and the grill or plating that is supposed to be there to stop your computer sucking up mountains of dust.
Normally, the proximity of these grills and the fan can increase the turbulence when pulling in air. This is less efficient for the fans, and can be responsible for a fair amount of noise. Noctua claims these spacers cause a significant reduction to influx turbulence, improving both efficiency and sound.
The spacers are being made in both the common 14cm and 12cm Noctua square sizes and should fit all of the current brands’ models in that format. When installing, the idea is you first remove the anti-vibration pads and then either use the included self-tapping screws or the vibration mounts to fit the spacer between the grill and the fan. There are also screws provided for radiator mounting setups as well.
It seems only fair that Noctua would include these tools, given the NA-IS1 will set you back around $15 USD (opens in new tab) for a set of two. If you’re already rocking the Noctua fans, it seems like an easy upgrade and likely a bit of a no-brainer. Especially when it’s rocking that classic Noctua brown, shared by the Asus X Noctual RTX 3070 (opens in new tab). Though they do also come in black.
Alongside the NA-IS1, Noctua also debuted the NA-AVG2 (opens in new tab), an anti-vibration gasket for systems that need a tighter seal on the fan. These would be perfect for connecting up to water cooling radiators being made out of high quality silicone rubber. This material also helps to reduce noise, and has greater efficiency on air loss. You can get the gaskets in a set of three for around $10 USD. (opens in new tab)
That being said, if you’re not such a big fan of spinning blades Noctua also offer passive coolers like the NH-P1 (opens in new tab) to keep your CPU chill without fans. These will definitely set you back a bit more than a few more mms of plastic, but they’re also basically silent.

Hearthstone Access (opens in new tab) is a mod that made Blizzard’s collectible card game accessible to blind, low-vision, and limited-sight players, who can use it to play Hearthstone via screen-reader software and keyboard commands. It’s the work of GuideDev, a modder who has been keeping it updated since August of 2021, but has now announced he’ll be ending Hearthstone Access support (opens in new tab) with version 24.6.
As Guide Dev wrote, “carrying Hearthstone Access on my back all this time has become increasingly difficult and the time has come for me to take a step back. I really, really hate to be doing this, but the last few months have been extremely busy and I’ve been seriously struggling to keep up with everything.”
Due to Hearthstone’s fortnightly update cadence, Hearthstone Access has also needed an update every two weeks to keep it working. “I simply don’t have as much time as I once had to devote to it”, Guide Dev wrote. “With all the recent (and upcoming) changes, it’s gotten to a point where I think Hearthstone Access is just getting worse with every patch (while Hearthstone itself is getting better). This was never the intention – and I’m really not happy with it.”
Blizzard has since addressed the issue with a post about Hearthstone accessibility on the official forum (opens in new tab). A Blizzard community manager explained they’ve previously worked with Guide Dev and “implemented measures to make development of the mod easier” as well as working on improving Hearthstone’s accessibility in ways that complement the mod. The example they give is that, since screen-reading software can struggle with overlapping dialogue, music, sound effects, and ambient sound like Hearthstone’s background voices simulating tavern chatter, they’re planning to implement separate volume controls for each as well as a mono sound option.
While that will be part of a patch following the launch of March of the Lich King, in the future Blizzard will be “exploring what it will take to implement native accessibility features that allow for our blind and low vision community to get back into the game.”
There will unfortunately be a period after Hearthstone Access is broken by an update and before the game’s native accessibility features catch up during which blind, low-vision, and limited-sight players won’t be able to play. As Blizzard explained, “A project of this magnitude and importance will take time to complete. We’re very sorry to our friends and players who won’t have access to Hearthstone during this time.”

Generally speaking, I have a rule about electronics in the microwave. I know it makes me a bit of a party-pooper, but this is my house, and in my house we keep things like metals outside of the electromagnetic radiation machine. However, it turns out that incredibly good and safety conscious rule has been holding me back, because building a PC inside of a Microwave sure is a choice some people are making.
Jack Lucky posted a video on Twitter (opens in new tab) showing off one such microwave PC build. He explains in the caption it was built by a man in Brazil in an effort to save money after losing his job due to the pandemic. Lucky also states the build cost around $900, but the video makes it a little tricky to see exactly which parts are powering the machine.
A man in Brazil who lost his job during COVID decided to make a microwave PC in order to save moneyHe built this fully operational for just $900 pic.twitter.com/UxRRtqgtclNovember 7, 2022

We also don’t know when the build was originally made, but $900 doesn’t exactly sound like a cash saving endeavour. Right now this Asus RTX 3060 gaming PC is on sale for $740, which is a great Black Friday deal. If you’re really after those dielectric heating stylings, you can always gut the ROG Strix G10 and put it in an old microwave, if you like.
Further down Lucky posts some additional pictures of the build (opens in new tab) where we can gleam some more insight. It looks like we’re seeing an Asus A320M-K motherboard, and one helluva heat sink on that CPU. Even with fans installed on the side of the microwave oven, we’re guessing it still lives up to its name there. Temps may not be the easiest thing to control in something designed specifically to heat things up.

Best CPU cooler (opens in new tab): keep your chip chilled in style Best PC fans (opens in new tab): super-silent and plastered in RGB Best PC cases (opens in new tab): big, little, and everything in-between.
It turns out Lucky’s friend in Brazil isn’t the only bright spark to have had this idea. Further down in the Twitter thread we’re treated to the image of a build by Lucas Cavalcante. This Microwave PC is mounted above the work station, making it look a bit more like a normal microwave at first glance.
This is immediately changed when you spot the RGB glow coming front the machine in blue and green hues. It’s a nice looking ITX set up, but you can still see the heatsink towering towards the back. Still, a very cute idea, especially when it sits above the rest of the PC setup, kind of like a real microwave.
I dare you to build a microwave computer better than mine (with only R$1500,00) pic.twitter.com/mSHi3ggPEEJuly 30, 2020

You can find a few more microwave builds around the net, like this one by Neosalicious on PC part picker (opens in new tab) featuring an 2080 Ti. This has since been superseded by their version 2 microwave (opens in new tab) machine sporting an RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 9 5900X, and water cooling.
The best part about all this is of course, the creativity. PC cases can and should be just about anything is definitely a rule I can get behind. Be it a microwave, giant dino sculpture (opens in new tab), or even a chainsaw (opens in new tab), please, put gaming PCs in everything.
