This ones about museums, would you believe, with exhibition themes including the world of prehistory. Find a trailer propped below this paragraph like a freshly brushed-down Tugowaurus skeleton. The theming is played for laughs, but theres a relentless metrics-sating machine rattling away beneath. Hmm, I wonder if I can build another Toilet Maze?

Valve are still taking SteamOS beyond the Steam Deck, though dual booting is a ways off

The Decks long-promised dual booting capability, on the other hand, sounds further down the to-do list. “The team is continuing to work on adding support for additional handhelds on SteamOS”. Best of both worlds, innit.

Perhaps handle any initial player criticism under cover of non-announcement? I guess we should be thankful it isn’t anotherHalf-Lifetease. The scale of the leaks means we have a pretty solid idea of how Deadlock plays. In the meantime,how about that Project White Sands, eh?...

PUBG owner Krafton have acquired Tango Gameworks and the Hi-Fi Rush IP

I particularly enjoy the hand-rubbing, grinning use of the word strategic here. But learning Tango has a future feels like a great start to the week. Presumably, these other IPs havent changed hands.
