Wccftech: Where Winds Meet Review – Living the Wuxia Dream
The launch of Genshin Impact in 2020 fundamentally changed the world of free-to-play gaming, ushering in an era of free open-world RPGs with AAA production values. While this success prompted a proliferation of high-quality experiences, the genre continued to be defined by the gacha mechanics that often introduce a certain clunkiness to the experience by tying progression and key characters to monetization. For old-school players like me, this was a major issue that prevents them from getting into this type of game. I'd rather pay for a full experience than have the story told piecemeal or rely on luck for a cool moveset or character.

Hardware Busters: Corsair RM1000x Shift ATX v3.1 PSU Review
After the HXi Shift, Corsair released the more affordable RMx Shift series which consists of three members with capacities ranging from 750W to 1000W. This line is ideal for users wanting the side-mounted modular panel, yet don’t want to pay the premium price of the HXi Shift models.

IgorsLAB: Corsair HX1000i Shift ATX v3.1 power supply in review - One out to the side, please!
The Corsair HXi Shift series will exist in parallel with the HXi series. The main difference is the side-mounted modular connection panel, which is made possible by a different internal platform and allows the connection panel to be “shifted”. There’s also plenty of iCUE, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
