| Welcome back to the WIRED Games newsletter, gamers. It's been quite a week, and whether you've been playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth or you have entirely too many hours in Palworld at this point, let's get right into it so you can get back to that, shall we? Speaking of Infinite Wealth, it's turning out to be one of the industry's biggest launches of the year (I mean, besides Palworld, obviously) so far, and a kickstart to a kind of dreary 2024 that's seen more people in the games industry laid off than games released. That said, if you are planning to pick up Infinite Wealth, you're in for a treat. Josh Broadwell reviewed the game for us and praised the game's storytelling and character development. Also worth noting, did you know there's a whole Animal Crossing–inspired part of the game where you can build furniture and lay out a village? I'm not kidding! Reid McCarter analyzed Infinite Wealth in the context of the broader Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise and says Infinite Wealth left him with hope for the future. The game does a great job of passing the torch on to a new cast of characters, faces that we've been introduced to here and there in previous games, but this one feels like a proper handoff. Now then, over from our Gear Team, last week Henri Robbins put together a wonderful, complete guide to building your own mechanical keyboard, if you're interested. I've been using mechanical keyboards since they were too loud and annoying for people in offices (sorry ex-coworkers!) and this is the kind of complete reference I wish I had back then. But don't just pay attention to your rig: Scott Gilbertson has a great list of 12 ways to boost your home Wi-Fi speed and stability, so make sure to check that out too. Oh, and don't miss Simon Hill's tips on how to clean up that old bag or box of cables you have lying around "just in case." I know you have one. I have one. We all have one. Finally, a classic from WIRED's archives: the story of how a bet on a Call of Duty match ended up with one of the first cases of swatting to get national attention. Of course, these days we all know about swatting, and even though it's well understood by the public, law enforcement still falls for it, and people still get hurt or killed in the process. We may have come a long way since this story we published, but the dangers are still real. |
