Neowin: Endless Legend 2 Early Access review: Big, brilliant ideas reshape the 4X landscape
Amplitude Studios, a name that should be familiar to turn-based strategy fans for its hit Endless franchise of games. Outside of the Endless Legend and Endless Space series, the studio’s biggest attempt at making a splash was with Humankind. Now, as a newly independent studio, Amplitude is going back to its fantasy realm and releasing Endless Legend 2, its latest 4X turn-based strategy game. While I don’t consider myself a diehard fan of 4X games, it is a strategy genre I get into a couple of times a year when I get the urge for a chill but engaging experience I can play in the background. Most of this has been spent inside Civilization V and Civilization VI. As for Amplitude titles, I bounced off the original Endless Legend quickly, which I remember was due to its janky UI, while Humankind didn’t hook me in even after giving it multiple chances.

APH Networks: SilverStone Triton 1000Rz 1000W Report
I was recently reviewing resumes for a co-op position we had posted for my team. For some context, the job posting made it clear we were looking for people who were currently studying in post-secondary. As such, I laughed when I saw more than a dozen resumes that were from people with many years of working experience. These were easy people to immediately reject, especially as it showed they were not even looking at the job listing. Unfortunately, this still left me with more than a hundred applicants to review and filter through. A lot of these overqualified applicants are people who spam out their applications at all opportunities they can find. Even so, I find it strange this many senior-level workers would even think about applying for a junior position, especially with a notable reduction in pay and a limited work term. I wish people would read a bit more or limit their automatic applications to positions for which they are suited. Even in times of desperation, it is important that you apply for things you are looking for and not just spray your resume everywhere. On the other hand, power supplies are not that specific when it comes to your computer’s use. Unlike deciding on a CPU or GPU that can be based on the purpose of your computer, a good power supply should be good for any use if it can provide enough power for the connected components. Today, we have the SilverStone Triton 1000Rz 1000W, which is a Gold-tier unit. Does this power supply fit as a solid option for any build? Let us read on to find out!
