First up
Here's Katie with the hardware scoop.
(Future)
Y'all really had me thinking Cities: Skylines 2 would be made in UE5. I've got nothing against Unity, I'm just slightly biased from learning Unreal at uni—and damn do those new features look great. Either way I'm way too excited for this game announcement; I might have to 3D print myself a chocolate chirper to celebrate. Yeah, that's a thing now.

While we wait for Cities 2, we could have a chat with AI Keanu Reeves because I'm sure the experience would be... breathtaking. Oh and don't forget to slap a screen on every component ever, because that's apparently just something we PC builders want in 2023.
The Big Story
Storing trillions of your Discord messages is waaaaay harder than you thought
(Discord)
On big public Discord servers, most of the the displayed messages are recent and cached which is good for performance. But smaller servers used by just a few friends can often involve old messages that aren't cached being displayed or read from the database every time a user logs in.

Pretty big deals
Bathtub Geralt | Polyresin | Rubber Duck included | 5.5 x 3.5 x 8-inches | $62.75 (save $17.24)
(Dark Horse Deluxe)
The man, the myth, the bathtub. It's the iconic PC gaming meme made flesh. Well, polyresin. And now it can be yours with a 22% discount. Bargain, eh?
Yeyian Katana X10 | Core i5 11400F | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | 16GB RAM | 500GB SSD | $949.99 (save $450)
(Yeyian)
This is a great deal for a mid-tier gaming PC, especially when many rigs around this price are delivering you an RTX 3060. The Core i5 is still a really solid CPU today, and RTX 3060 Ti is probably the best mainstream GPU of Nvidia's last generation of cards. Sadly you're stuck with 16GB RAM, and a 500GB NVMe SSD which you'll probably want to upgrade in future.
ASRock Phantom Gaming D RX 6600 XT | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,607MHz boost | $274.99 at Newegg
(ASRock)
Another nice budget offering now it's seen a price drop, this card will beat the RTX 3060, and while its not as fast as the RX 6650 XT on our best graphics cards list it's a great budget alternative, especially at that price.

This PSU with connectors in all the wrong places is actually a breeze to build with
(Future)
Corsair's done the impossible: it has made an actually exciting new power supply. To achieve this magnificent feat, it's taken all the connectors, shrunk them down, and moved them to the side of the PSU.
