Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the horniest games of all time and, you know what, that’s just how we like it here at PC Gamer (well, some of us). To play Larian’s fantasy RPG masterpiece and not bump uglies with at least something is probably this game’s true hero run, as there are quite frankly a lot of alluring characters to get romantically involved with and many of them want to desperately jump you at every opportunity, too, (we’re looking at you Gale), often ambushing you with yet another proposition to remove your underwear when you least expect it.

And talking of ambushes and underwear, there is one character in Baldur’s Gate 3’s third act that it is particularly difficult to avoid doing the bedsheet shuffle with. At this point I will drop a spoiler warning to note that what fol…

We’ve already spotted Intel’s next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs after they were accidentally posted on a UK etailer website. Now we can flesh out the full details even further, including pretty much every important spec for all five launch models of Intel’s latest desktop CPU, plus apparently Intel’s intended release date.

When I stepped into SteelSeries’ Copenhagen offices and noticed what was on the table, my heart sank a little. It was another Apex Pro keyboard that, for all intents and purposes, looked the same as the last. My hopes weren’t raised by talk of the new software presets and the company’s take on SOCD, either. But then I heard the new Apex Pro 3 clack. And boy, does it clack.

I was mighty impressed by the unadulterated thockiness of the Apex Pro 3, given it’s a Hall effect gaming keyboard and that weighty thunk is traditionally a more mechanical affair. Still, after the SteelSeries representative had given a tantalisingly short demo of the Pro 3’s clickety clack, all talk of its newest bells and whistles fell on somewhat deaf ears.

I didn’t care about software features; I nee…
