Combining dye with an armor in Baldur's Gate 3.

If you enjoyed the overwhelming number of customization options you had while creating your character in Baldur's Gate 3, then you'll be happy to know there's a bit more you can do after picking your race and class. As you adventure, kill, loot, and buy new equipment, those changes will be reflected on your character. Still, as cool as some armor may be designed, it might not be the color you were hoping for. If that's the case, you'll be glad to know there's a simple way to change it with some dye. Like many of Baldur's Gate 3's systems, like doing nonlethal attacks, it isn't super clear how to actually do it even if you have dye. Here's the tutorial the game doesn't give you on how to dye clothes.

How to dye clothes

Step 1: Find a dye. Obviously, you will need dye to dye your clothes, so the first step will be to get some. These come in a variety of colors, and are most commonly found being sold by vendors as early as the Emerald Grove.

Valve keeps widening the SteamOS net, and more handhelds are finally getting caught
Valve's SteamOS handheld empire just got a little bigger

SteamOS isn't just a byproduct developed for Valve's gaming hardware, and the company is proving this by expanding support for other handhelds aside from the Steam Deck. While the platform hasn't been exclusive to the Steam Deck, more handhelds from MSI, Ayaneo, and Konkr are getting support for Valve's latest SteamOS beta.

As spotted by Notebookcheck, Valve’s new SteamOS 3.8.25 beta expands support for several third-party handhelds. This doesn’t amount to Valve giving every device full SteamOS certification, but the update brings another handful of machines closer to working properly with the company’s gaming-focused operating system.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.

Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE review: This one hits differently and it made me rethink clicking
Turns out, the humble left click had a lot more room to evolve than I thought.
Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Design 1

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I'm far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year.

For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn't the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I'd flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then, only to come crawling back a few days later. Most of them either felt too hollow, too small, or simply lacked the reassuring heft I had grown accustomed to. Then the Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE showed up, and for the first time, my G502 has been gathering dust.
