I take my game library with me when I travel and there’s no reason to miss out with these Black Friday handheld gaming PC deals

Handheld gaming devices have rapidly evolved, and it's a misconception that one must always buy the latest model for portable PC gaming. Many budget-friendly options provide a great gaming experience, especially with Black Friday discounts. The most enjoyable handheld PC games are often casual titles rather than high-end triple-A games. The Steam Deck, released in 2022, remains relevant in 2025. Newer models like the ROG Xbox Ally may not significantly outperform older models, as they often use similar components. The ROG Xbox Ally X offers some improvements but at a high price. The Legion Go S has impressive specs but comes with a hefty price tag. Accessories like ergonomic grips and quality headphones enhance the gaming experience, and shoppers should look for deals during the holiday season. It is possible to enjoy gaming without spending excessively, thanks to various budget options available.

We owe Skyrim’s beloved Stealth Archer to one of the designers of an all-time classic PC stealth game, who wrote Todd Howard ‘a big document of stealth in 20 different games’

Stealth mechanics in role-playing games have been popular among players for decades, with games like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Cyberpunk offering immersive experiences. The Stealth Archer playstyle in Skyrim has gained a significant following, leading to numerous guides and discussions online. Emil Pagliarulo, Bethesda's design director, has a background in stealth games, having started his career at Looking Glass Studios, known for titles like Thief. He conducted an analysis of stealth mechanics in 20 different games upon joining Bethesda. Oblivion, released in 2006, introduced important stealth mechanics such as consistent sound and line-of-sight, enhancing the stealth experience compared to previous games. Pagliarulo distinguishes between Thief, which focuses solely on stealth simulation, and Bethesda's games, which offer a broader range of gameplay systems. He emphasizes the freedom players have to shape their characters' identities through stealth gameplay, expressing pride in the evolution of stealth mechanics at Bethesda.

I’m finally switching to Windows 11, but not for the reason you think

Approximately 40% of Windows 10 users have upgraded to Windows 11, driven by the end of support for Windows 10 on October 14 and various practical considerations. The author upgraded to Windows 11 after acquiring an OLED monitor, as Windows 11 handles HDR significantly better than Windows 10. The introduction of Auto HDR in Windows 11 enhances the visual appeal of older games, while the HDR calibration app is incompatible with Windows 10. The author also faced persistent issues with their Windows 10 installation, such as file corruption and poor microphone quality, which prompted the switch. The end of critical security updates for Windows 10 further influenced the decision to upgrade, making Windows 11 the necessary choice to ensure better performance and security.
