Hollow Knight: Silksong, Team Cherry’s sequel to Hollow Knight that has been in development for seven years, is releasing later this week for just $19.99. Silksong’s highly-anticipated launch on September 4th comes with a modest $5 bump over Hollow Knight’s original $14.99 price tag.While Team Cherry could have charged more for Silksong, it’s essentially pricing it the same as the original when you factor in inflation over the past eight years. The team revealed seven years ago that it kept the Hollow Knight pricing low to ensure as many people played it as possible. “$15 US is actually quite a bit of money for many people, especially in other countries than the US,” explained Team Cherry cofounder Ari Gibson in a 2018 Reddit post. “Ultimately, our main interest is that as many people as possible play our games, and we want to price them such that players can do so.”Four days until release! Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on 4th September.Release times:7AM PT | 10AM ET | 4PM CEST | 11PM JSTGame price:USD $19.99 | EUR €19.99 | JPY ¥2300 pic.twitter.com/JeDmozItpX— Team Cherry (@TeamCherryGames) September 1, 2025The considerate choice on the pricing of Hollow Knight allowed millions of people to play the game, with the original selling more than 15 million copies. That’s made Hollow Knight one of the most successful indie video games ever, so a $19.99 price tag for Silksong could produce similar sales results — especially as it’s currently the most wishlisted game on Steam.Silksong is releasing at 7AM PT / 10AM ET / 3PM UK on September 4th. It will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and Team Cherry has also struck a deal to include Silksong on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

The PlayStation 5 is the latest and greatest console on the market from Sony right now. But while the console itself is powerful and has a library of great titles to play through, new PlayStation 5 owners will want to get extra accessories for their console to better their overall experience. Although there are a variety of accessories for PlayStation hardware available in many places, not all of them are necessary and will just have you spending extra money. However, there are a few PS5 accessories that everyone will want to pick up when they can, especially if they want to get the most enjoyment from playing games on it.

Notion has been my default workspace for years. I like how sleek and flexible it is, and almost everyone I know in tech swears by it. I built my own little systems inside it, from personalized dashboards to practical databases. But the thing with software that’s feature-heavy: it becomes a drag to use and causes more problems than it solves. The downsides started piling up, and I also disliked how dependent Notion is on an internet connection, even for the simple stuff.

Windows 11, the most-used consumer desktop operating system in the world, undoubtedly has its problems. Yet, despite those problems, it's the most refined version of the company's operating system, regardless of the unsavory additions that have seen many users either commit to Windows 10 for as long as possible or even make the jump to Linux instead. There's one specific aspect of Windows that has always bugged me, though, and it's Microsoft's long-standing policy of requiring drivers to be digitally signed before the operating system will load them.

If most of your viewing is on OTT platforms like Netflix, Max, or Hulu, you probably don’t need anything extra. But if you are someone like me who still watches a lot of live TV, you know the experience feels fragmented and limited even with a smart TV running Google TV. You often need separate apps or subscriptions to access sports, news, or local channels, and the built-in TV tuners are slow with minimal guides and little flexibility. Recording or pausing live broadcasts is either not supported or tied to proprietary restrictions. I almost gave up on live TV until recently (well, I am a little late to the party) when I discovered Tvheadend.

The first time I used ChatGPT to code, back in early 2023, I was reminded of "The Monkey's Paw," a classic horror story about an accursed talisman that grants wishes, but always by the most malevolent path - the desired outcome arrives after exacting a brutal cost elsewhere first. With the same humorless literalness, ChatGPT would implement the change I'd asked for, while also scrambling dozens of unrelated lines. The output was typically over-engineered, often barnacled with irrelevant fragments of code. There were some usable lines in the mix, but untangling the mess felt like a detour.When I started using AI-assisted tools earlier this …Read the full story at The Verge.

OLED monitors have been at the top of the gaming display pyramid, but that doesn't mean the technology is perfect yet. All OLED panels suffer from lower brightness levels than LCDs, burn-in is an ever-present concern, and the HDR experience is inconsistent between models. Tandem OLED was unveiled as the next big innovation in OLED technology, and we're now seeing some excellent displays from the likes of LG, MSI, and Asus. I'm excited about this next stage of OLED monitors because tandem OLED looks like a big step toward removing the imperfections of OLEDs.

When you sign up to receive Internet service from an ISP, they'll usually provide a router and modem, or a combo unit of the two. While it will certainly get you online, it quietly leaves a few doors ajar for malicious actors, putting your security and privacy at risk. This is exceedingly common with routers provided by ISPs, but you can lock things down fairly easily with a few tweaks.

You’ve just installed Linux, and everything looks shiny and new. The desktop is clean, the system is running, and you’re ready to dive in. But before you start using it day to day, there are a few simple steps you can take that can make the experience nearly perfect. Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian come ready to use right after installation, but with a little fine-tuning, you can take things from good to great.

Third-person shooters are a special breed, aren't they? They let you see your hero, your weapons, and your chaos, unfold all at once, and in the process, end up giving us some of the most iconic moments in gaming history. The greatest TPS games have nailed the story, over-the-shoulder gunplay, their narrative, or they have introduced mechanics to the medium that have since become a staple of it.

Obsidian is more than just a note-taking app — it’s a second brain. I have been using it for years to build a vast network of interconnected thoughts, and for a long time, I thought I had a pretty solid system. But it turns out, I was missing out on some truly game-changing workflows that have since changed my entire process.

The original Doom is one of those video games that helped define a genre. It was one of the pioneers in the first-person shooter category, and is still a noteworthy game to this day due to the genre it helped launch, and the franchise that spawned from its initial success. The Doom franchise is a massive catalog of games with frequent releases, including this year's Doom: The Dark Ages.
