Part 2 is up early for members, and yes, the hospital section is exactly as uncomfortable as it should be.

Any illusion of safety disappears pretty quickly here.

This episode turns into:

• searching for tools

• trying not to panic

• pretending every dark room is fine

• discovering that safe rooms apparently have opinions now

There are some genuinely sharp moments in this section, especially once the hospital starts layering in infected encounters and puzzle pressure at the same time.

A few highlights from this one:

• The hospital atmosphere is excellent and terrible

• Resource management immediately matters

• One closet deserves jail time

• I trust nothing now

Also, if you thought Part 1 was just warming up, this section starts making that clear very quickly.

Before this goes public, you guys get first crack at it.

Part 1 of Resident Evil Requiem is officially up early here for members, and right away this game wastes no time making everything feel uncomfortable.

The opening already has that classic Resident Evil tension:
dark spaces, bad lighting, suspicious noises, and the growing feeling that every hallway is about to become a bad decision.

This first session is very much the beginning of figuring out what kind of game this wants to be, and so far it feels like it wants to keep people nervous.

A few things immediately stood out:

• The atmosphere is doing heavy lifting in the best way

• Sound design is excellent and deeply rude

• Exploration already feels dangerous

• Confidence drops quickly

This is one of those starts where you can already tell the game understands pacing.

Public upload goes live soon, but members get it first.

You don't need a dedicated console to dominate the living room. A cheap mini-PC, or even an old laptop, can become the ultimate retro gaming station. The trick is making it feel like a console, not a computer.

Boot directly into Big Picture mode on Steam, or launch an emulator frontend like ES-DE or Launchbox on startup. Pair a wireless Bluetooth controller (8BitDo makes great ones) and configure it to wake the PC from sleep.

If you really want to sell the illusion, get a cheap 4K upscaling HDMI converter. It will take the low-res 240p output of emulators and make it look crisp on your modern 4K TV without losing the retro aesthetic. It’s cheaper than buying a RetroFreak or Polymega and does a better job.

If you play older games, you know input lag. It’s that tiny delay between pressing a button and seeing the character move on screen. On old CRT TVs, this was virtually non-existent. On modern digital displays, it can be frustrating.

RetroArch has a feature called "Run Ahead" that solves this. Essentially, it emulates the game a few frames ahead, saves the state, and then loads it instantly when you press a button. It effectively reduces lag to zero.

The downside? It requires a powerful CPU. You might not be able to run this on a budget handheld, but on a PC or Steam Deck, it’s a must-enable feature for action-heavy games like Mega Man or Street Fighter. It makes tight jumps feel responsive again.

Call to Action: Read our detailed guide on "How to Configure Run Ahead" to squeeze every millisecond of performance out of your setup.

Anbernic struck gold with the RG35XX. It’s cheap, it’s pocketable, and it plays everything up to the PS1 remarkably well. But with the release of the "Plus" version, people are asking which one they should get.

The standard RG35XX is a horizontal device, like a mini Game Boy, and it's the king of GBA and SNES. The RG35XX Plus is a vertical device, similar to the Miyoo Mini, designed primarily for 8-bit and 16-bit games.

Honestly? The form factor is the deciding factor here. If you want horizontal ergonomics, get the original. If you want vertical, get the Plus. Both share the same powerful chipset (MIPS-based), meaning performance is nearly identical. It just comes down to how you like to hold your games.

Call to Action: Which form factor do you prefer: Vertical or Horizontal? Cast your vote in our weekly poll!

We talk about automation a lot, but if you’ve never written a line of code, DuckyScript is the perfect place to start. It’s designed to be readable by humans. You don't need to be a programmer to make your computer do cool stuff.

The basic structure is simple: You tell the script to wait a moment (DELAY), you tell it to press a key or combination (GUI, CTRL-ALT-DEL), and you tell it to type text (STRING Hello World).

The best way to learn is to automate something annoying. Do you hate typing out your email address? Write a two-line script that types it for you. Once you see that work for the first time, you’ll be hooked. It’s instant gratification, and it scales up to complex tasks quickly.

Call to Action: Visit our "DuckyScript 101" section for copy-paste examples that you can run on your Flipper Zero today.

For years, the Sega Dreamcast was considered the "unemulatable" console. The complex architecture meant that even high-end PCs struggled to run games without bugs. But today? We are in a golden age.

Thanks to Flycast, Dreamcast emulation is now viable on Android handhelds, the Steam Deck, and even retro handhelds with a bit of power (like the Trimui Smart Pro or Miyoo A30). Games like Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, and Power Stone run at full speed with very little tweaking.

If you never owned a Dreamcast, you owe it to yourself to try this library. It’s a unique blend of arcade energy and early 3D experimentation that hasn't aged a day, especially with the enhancements modern emulation provides, like widescreen hacks and increased internal resolution.

Call to Action: Join the DXL Membership to download our "Top 25 Dreamcast Games" pack and start playing tonight.

One of the most underutilized features of the Steam Deck is Steam Input. It’s not just for mapping controller buttons; it essentially lets you remap the entire hardware of the Deck. This is a game-changer for emulation and non-Steam games.

You can map the rear touchpads to act as mouse inputs for point-and-click games, or create "hotkeys" that launch specific macros. For example, you can map a double-tap of the L4 button to instantly take a screenshot or toggle your shader without ever leaving the game.

You can even create "layers." Hold a back paddle, and your face buttons suddenly become hotkeys for save states and loading. It adds a level of customization that no other handheld offers natively. If you aren't using Steam Input profiles, you are leaving a lot of power on the table.

Call to Action: Download our favorite "Ultimate Emulation Control Profile" from the downloads page and take your Deck controls to the next level.
