Supporters | Off Topic: When racecar engineering is a puzzle to be solved
(Or some of the very best motorsport books I've ever read.)
"Those who can, do," motorsport's most famous enthusiast Murray Walker used to say of his vocation in typically modest fashion, "those who can't, talk about it." Taking that adage further still, some of us are just happy to read about it, and ever since I fell in love with cars driving in circles fast I've read everything I could lay my hands on on the sport and those who pursue it. In parallel with my love of video games, enabled and enhanced by the words and articles of fellow fans in magazines or even on sites such as this, reading about motorsport and the fascinating stories surrounding it can be just as rewarding as heading to a race track itself.

Recommended | A Plague Tale: Requiem review - a brutal, spectacular adventure of love and sacrifice
Rats entertainment.
The series A Plague Tale: Requiem keeps reminding me of is Uncharted, and I didn't expect that. But not since Uncharted have I been so dazzled by a production, by an adventure, that I've lingered longer in places simply so they don't end. And not since an Uncharted game have I been treated to so many spectacular sights in so many spectacular places I have never even imagined before. Requiem, it turns out, is every bit a game about uncovering lost legends and their secrets. It's a treasure hunt. Only here, the treasure you're hunting for is a cure.

A cool heart and a steady gaze. Luigi winning the game and bringing us all home.

Digital Foundry | DF Direct Weekly takes on Nvidia's RTX 4080 12GB 'unlaunching' U-turn
Plus: reaction to the RTX 4090 debut and Miles Morales' PC upgrades.
I've been covering PC graphics hardware in earnest for around eight years now and I'm not sure I've seen a U-turn quite as profound as the RTX 4080 12GB 'unlaunching' situation. Logistically, the implications are profound: those cards have been manufactured, the packaging is likely waiting. The GPUs themselves may even have RTX 4080 branding that'll need to be addressed. Ultimately though, it was the right decision to make - as we discuss in this week's DF Direct.
