Valve : We've improved the store front page! Steam : Some users have tagged one of your favourite games with a 'joke' category just for sh*tz'n'giggles and now we're only going to recommend games based on 'lamppost licking' to you until the end of time.

As is tradition, #Tesco removes its seasonal BBQ-themed products from its shelves because, as you know, people become deathly allergic to marinated pork chops & chicken, burgers, kebabs and sausages during the colder months. 🤬

I was somewhat enjoying 'Cosmos' - the new 10th anniversary expedition for No Man's Sky... right up until on the final stretch, building a Corvette, filling it with all my ill-gotten gains and it promptly deleting everything. In some ways, a frustrating bug is the perfect way to mark NMS's 10th!😠

Played (early access) Breathedge 2. Not too impressed so far but things might change - EA after all. At the moment, it's a string of resource gathering targets, supposedly clocking in at 10hrs of content. Even my slow-progress, leave-paused-in-menu ass finished it in just over 9hrs.😒 #breathedge2

Breathedge 2. New sequel in early access. Probably best to leave this for a year or so.

A friend on Steam just bought Spore (the 2008 Will Wright 'classic'?) and it struck me how much the mid-game screenshots look like proto-No Man's Sky.😜

Playing the early access game #Sandustry at the mo'. Basically, you mine dirt into sand and lay down a little factory to process it (and the by-products), generating gold to purchase factory and tool upgrades. It can be a little overwhelming at the start but super satisfying over time.

An example of a Sandustry factory, converting sand into gold, burning off the excess residue and eventually getting seeds to grow into plants... which you also burn off. There's a lot of burning going on. And sand. So much sand.

New trailer for #VisionQuest and it's looking good. I really enjoy Paul Bettany's Vision and you can't say no to more James Spader on your TV. It's a shame #Disney are scaling back on the MCU TV offerings as I've thoroughly enjoyed almost all of them. *sharp side-eye at Secret Invasion*👀

It's that time again. The pre-order page for #NBA2K27 is up. Nothing to see, really. The player close-up screenshots and game description could easily be mistaken for the #NBA2K26 page. Anyone thinking about picking it up -- they still haven't fixed the connection bug from over *2 months ago*

Part of the NBA 2K27 cover, showing Wembanyama being utterly bemused that 2K and Visual Concepts still haven't fixed a connection bug in NBA 2K26 after 2 months, and wondering why anyone would trust them enough to purchase anything they churn out.

Two weeks now and the Season 7 connection bug in #NBA2K26 still hasn't been fixed or addressed. Utter contempt from #2KGames isn't new at this point, of course but does this particular sh!tshow have anything to do with the layoffs at #VisualConcepts? Stretched too thin cobbling together #NBA2K27?
