Update 1/7/24: In the days following this story, Wizards of the Coast acknowledged that the Magic: The Gathering promo image was indeed made using AI tools. You can read our latest story on the controversy and its aftermath.
Original Story: In December, Wizards of the Coast committed to not using AI art in Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons, saying it requires its artists, writers, and other creative contributors “to refrain from using AI generative tools” to create its products. Despite that, MtG fans are accusing the company of using AI to create the backdrop for a promotional image of new cards—something WotC flatly denies.
Wizards shared the image on Twitter on January 4, writing, “It’s positively shocking how good these…
In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the Night Elves have ended its latest story patch with a new home: Bel’ameth. In case you’ve been out of the loop for a while and don’t know why Teldrassil is gone: Sylvanas blew it up. Former PC Gamer writer Steven Messner documented The Burning of Teldrassil back when it happened in 2018, writing that it was “easily the most controversial moment in World of Warcraft’s history.”
Well, now the night elves have a new tree and a new home in the Dragon Isles, and they’re even willing to let bygones be bygones. Bel’ameth is currently a neutral city on the PTR, meaning both Horde and Alliance players can visit.
Now in fairness, the Horde did have a hand in fixing things. Dragonflight’s done away with the faction conflict altogether. Instead, th…
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game of almost unparalleled freedom, and we all know what that really means: the freedom to murder any NPC you can get your hands on. Usually, the danger of any RPG murder spree is that you might kill someone who’s vital to a later main quest event, and end up locked out of progressing. But it turns out Larian’s accounted for that by giving certain NPCs back-ups to replace them if they perish—and even back-ups for the back-ups.
YouTuber Proxy Gate Tactician has taken a deep (and bloodthirsty) dive into the possibilities around the tieflings at the grove, and discovered some fascinating interactions. Mild Act 1 spoilers ahead.
Normally, if you choose to kill the goblin leaders, Zevlor, the leader of the tiefling refugees, will invite you to a …
We’ve been testing the best gaming laptops, digging deep into the latest flavors of AMD processor and Nvidia graphics silicon, and we know which notebooks sing and which are just tone-deaf. We’re not just talking about sleek, expensive new machines, either, we’ve picked a range of gaming laptops at different price points to highlight which give you the best bang for your buck and which are just outright awesome.
The current generation of mobile GPU and CPU are now established, offering the best Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have to offer, and Intel’s Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh machines are starting to filter out, too. I’ve already tested a host of potential alternatives, but the best gaming laptop remains the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. It makes the best RTX 4090 gaming laptops, inc…
It’s Amazon Prime Day, or as I like to call it, Black Friday Summer League. The deals are out on this day where we all flock to the internet’s largest storefront and pick from the scraps of its pretty OK deals.
“Pretty OK” is how I’d classify my Prime Day so far. My Amazon page seems to think I want yet another new air fryer and a 1TB SD card (can never have too much storage, but you can definitely have too many air fryers). If you’re in the market for a modest PC upgrade, we’re actually finding the best deals outside Amazon itself. That’s right, Prime Day is now bigger than Amazon: Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart are conveniently running loads of sales right now too, and some of them are better.
