I’ve been chasing stutter and slow level loads in open-world RPGs for years — from dense cities in Cyberpunk-esque titles to sprawling fantasy landscapes that stream in foliage, NPCs, and object meshes as you approach. One of the most common upgrade recommendations you’ll see tossed around is...

I’ve spent months testing 1440p ultrawide monitors in real competitive FPS scenarios to answer a simple question: do they actually give you an edge, and if so, which ones? I test like I play — hands-on, under real conditions, and with setups I’d recommend to both casual grinders and serious competitors. Below I break down what matters, which monitors stood out, and the settings that...

I treat LANs and weekend tournaments like modular engineering challenges: how do I carry everything I need, set up quickly, and avoid the cable spaghetti that turns a hyped game night into a frantic troubleshooting session? Over the years I’ve iterated on a carry system that fits in one backpack, keeps fragile gear safe, and lets me go from door to playseat in under five minutes. Below I walk...

I spent the last two weeks pushing an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X through a mix of real-world creative workloads and gaming sessions to answer the question I get a lot: How hot does this chip run, and what kind of FPS can you expect in modern games? I tested thermals, power draw, and frame rates across a handful of titles and content-creation tasks so you can see the trade-offs between performance and...

I’ve bought my fair share of mice, pads, and headsets — some were instant upgrades, others were painfully cheap knockoffs that masked bad sensor tech behind flashy RGB and exaggerated specs. Over the years I developed a practical set of tests and red flags I run through before I recommend gear or drop money on it. Below I’ll walk you through how I spot fake gaming peripherals and avoid...

When I build or tune a gaming PC, one of the questions that comes up again and again is: Do I really need an NVMe SSD for games, or is a SATA SSD or even an HDD still okay? I get it — storage is expensive, games are massive, and the difference between “it loads faster” and “I actually feel the improvement” isn't always clear. I’ve tested a lot of drives across a wide range of games,...

I’ve spent years dissecting the invisible chessboard that is Dota 2 map control. It’s not just about stacking wards and pinging; it’s about shaping where fights happen, timing objectives before your opponents can react, and actively denying the enemy territory until their map feels small. In this guide I’ll lay out advanced warding patterns, timing windows, and “territory spoiling”...

When I first started tinkering with GPUs, I treated thermal paste like an afterthought — a dab of whatever came with the cooler and I was done. Over hundreds of hours of long sessions, tournaments, and hardware testing for Gameriously, I learned the hard way that thermal paste choice can be the difference between a card that sings through a marathon session and one that slowly degrades,...

I’ve spent years swapping between every kind of controller I could get my hands on — stock Xbox pads, custom Scuf controllers, modded PlayStation sticks, and boutique builds like the Xbox Elite and Razer Wolverine. As someone who tests gear, runs aim drills, and plays at a competitive level, I can tell you there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there are clear moments when a Scuf-style...

I’ve spent more nights than I care to admit juggling framerate, GPU temps, and a messy overlay that looked great on paper but tanked my game. If you’re on a tight PC budget and you want a pro-level streaming overlay that doesn’t cost you frames, I’ve got a workflow that’s practical, tested, and focused on efficiency over flash. Below I’ll walk you through how I build overlays that...

I spent years chasing the puzzle of how to make aim training actually matter in live matches. Like you, I’ve tried the classics — grind sessions in Kovaak’s, switch to Aim Lab for a week, then wonder why my 1v1 fights still felt off when the pressure was real. Over time I learned that translating aim practice into match performance isn’t about hours logged, it’s about deliberate...
