If we make ten sales before Sunday night, we have rent. Late again, so late fees attached. But ten sales would bring us to safety for another few weeks. Thank you so so so much!!
Well shit, they laid off Matt Zoller Seitz? Guess they're giving up on film crit?

Even the lighter side of extraction shootersβsay something like Arc Raidersβcan be remarkably unfriendly to casual folks long-term.

Fast forward to 2025, and weβve solved a bunch of the hardest problems. The Proton compatibility layer brought thousands of excellent games to Linux and SteamOS at no cost to game developers. Millions of players have helped us refine and perfect the gamepad experience of shopping, playing, and chatting on Steam. Manufacturing learnings from the original Steam Controller, the Steam Link streaming box, the Valve Index, and the Steam Deck all poured into realizing what we dreamed about more than a decade earlier: a gaming-first living room experience, an open platform for customers, and wireless virtual reality headset with its own processing power. Hereβs the lineup of hardware we announced in 2025. We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. Weβll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!
Despite today's SteamDB updates pointing to "coming soon" for the Steam hardware, Valve seemingly casts some doubt on them launching in 2026.

I played it at launch, but I already had two MMOs on the docket, so I didn't stick with it.
Crimson being single player and finite is more appealing for me.
This clip of HORSE DRIFTING in Crimson Desert has instantly sold me on Crimson Desert in a way no other feature has.

4 is a better game, but I was in the trenches in 3 as a youth!
Super Mario Kart is a similar pick. 8 Deluxe is the best one for me by farβor another racer like Burnout 3 Takedownβbut the OG is what forged me.
I guess I'm a basic bitch.

The six finalists for the Mega Man: Dual Override contest all look great.
I'd probably do Sweeper Woman, Valve Man, or Cactus Man.
Taken together, both ads say something.

"Mike, why isn't this just a blog?"
I NEED TO FINISH SETTING IT UP! I'M TIRED!
What's the sales case for Helix, or PS6, or a Steam Machine at $800+? It feels like a rougher road to me.
Especially since the other leg is AI is part of massive layoffs, so folks don't even really have enough disposable income.
Lots of dominoes all the way down.
So you've got the K-shaped economy. The well off buying g the most premium stuff, and everyone else else abstaining or hunting for older/cheaper stuff. (Which pushes up those prices and everything continues to spiral.)
Is that sustainable? No clue.
At the same time, *because of AI* everything in the tech market is now more expensive due to the RAM and storage issue.
So the reason to upgrade has lessened, and now the general affordability has gone as well.
It's interesting, because we've sort of reached a tech plateau.
Every year, the phones, tablets, and TVs are mostly the same. The specs grow (see PCs), but we don't need much more power. Most aren't using what they got.
That was the sales case for AI, convince user they need new thing *for this*.
Some journalist somewhere...
"she just... tweeted it out."
Oh, I know. I use them as cold storage for PS5 games. I move titles back and forth over to the main drive.
(PS4 games are on a different, older 1TB drive.)
I should picked up a meaty NVME, but never got around to it. They went into the PC
