Microsoft seems to be embracing ARM processors for more than just for Windows laptops and desktops... The Azure Cobalt 100 processor has 128 ARM cores.

Ars Technica: Holy chips! Microsoft's new AI silicon will power its chatty assistants

#ServeTheHome has published some more dazzling deets on the Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 processor. The processor is using Neoverse N2 cores.

It's not the highest performing cores, but it's not the weakest of the available server- or cloud-oriented cores either.

I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.

For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".

Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".

I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).

I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.

I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.

One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Unplayed games:
Trying a game again:
Going live on Twitch:

I'll hashtag these with so you can mute it if you're not interested.

February 24, 2024 - Day 420 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 456

Game: Neoverse

Platform: Steam
Released: Feb 19, 2020
Installed: Feb 1, 2024
Unplayed: 23d
Playtime: 34m

Neoverse is a 3D-ish rogue-lite deckbuilder.

It didn't get off to a good start. There are three main characters, all women. The opening cutscene seemed to be entirely about them engaging in various battles aimed at the male gaze.

One of the main characters featuring in the game art is a character wearing a skintight silver bodysuit, viewed from behind and below the waistline, with her butt being the focal point.

As for the game itself? Nowhere near that. It's set in a multiverse, where you and two other characters need to enter universes to fight a series of staged battles to unlock more cards and save the universe(s) through card battles.

As rogue-lite card battlers go, Neoverse is (just barely):

3: OK
