Does your gadget seem like a fit? Don't pitch me text: DM me photos or a video clip!

Steam Machine today, Steam Phones tomorrow The Steam Frame is a Trojan horse carrying Arm’s gaming future.

So. Remember when Valve announced a VR headset that also plays Windows games?

Remember when I played a Windows copy of Silksong on my Android phone?

Valve planted the seeds for *all* of that. It's the same technology. Valve is behind Fex. www.theverge.com/report/82065...

1000% more useful than all the info valve itself has put out there about these three new devices

It'd be fascinating if the Steam app had a tool that could inject the necessary stuff into a microSD card

Ah, fair point, fellow Cameron. I guess it's just pretty novel to have the support in a separate ecosystem from windows

Making microSD cards full of games interoperable across Steam devices is really smart www.theverge.com/games/818602...

The government shutdown is delaying new gadgets The backlog of products awaiting FCC clearance is growing.

With the government shutdown in its 27th day, the backlog of packaged, ready-to-go tech products awaiting FCC clearance is growing. Leica and WiiM are some of the companies impacted by delays, but there are likely dozens (if not hundreds) more www.theverge.com/report/80785...

The new Metroid Prime art book offers rare insight into Nintendo’s design process In addition to art concepts, it’s full of producer notes that feel like Easter eggs.

This book is worth $50 for the producer notes alone. There are a lot of interesting tidbits of info that I hadn't heard before, like that Retro originally had a FPS in development that wasn't Metroid Prime...until Miyamoto stepped in www.theverge.com/games/803399...

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

"They talked about Neural Arrays, Radiance Cores, and Universal Compression. No, these aren’t Destiny 2 patch notes, they’re a roadmap to what will seemingly make gaming on PS6 marginally better than current-gen tech." lol nicely done

Sony teases new GPU tech coming to its next PlayStation Sony’s Mark Cerny and AMD’s Jack Tuynh shared some graphics compression and GPU innovations coming to the unnamed PlayStation devices, presumably the PS6.

Sony teased next-gen AMD graphics features coming to the PS6 (presumably - the console wasn't named). You'd think any whisper of PS6 would be a big deal, but our readers don't seem excited. One said "This console generation has fully convinced me to move on to PCs." www.theverge.com/news/797640/...

The rear grip of the EasySMX S10 is in focus, with a lemon in the background out of focus. I attempted to zest the lemon with the grippy grips, but it didn't work.

In trying to expand the way that I test controllers, I attempted to zest a lemon with the S10's very grippy (for some, too grippy) grips. Alas, the lemon remained unzested, which is good by the way

Hello, I tested out some Switch 2 controllers for @theverge.com for your consideration. The EasySMX S10 is the best gamepad that isn't Nintendo's own Switch 2 Pro (it has almost all of the same features, but is $40 cheaper right now).
