Tape to Tape. It's a roguelite hockey game that has a big sense of humor.

At this point, they aren't even reporting the cause of death. The oven is just where they found her body.

I've had mine for almost 2 years now. My usage has always been situational. I use it to game when I'm away from my relatively high-end gaming PC. Extended trips. Any time I know I'm going to be sitting and waiting somewhere. Or maybe I've just had a long day of remote work and want to play a game but I don't want to sit at my desk, so I'll plop down on the sofa or outside with my Deck.

I'm a little confused why this is in the news. First off, it's just a House Resolution. It's has no legally binding repercussions. It's basically the House of Representatives as a group making a statement: "We don't like anti-Semitism". The definition of anti-Semitism they decided to point to is the thing that's really in contention. But again, this affects nobody but the US House of Representatives.

Secondly, the vote on this took place in December. So it seems kind of late to be raging over it.

If you're in the US and it really bugs you, I'd suggest looking up how your district representative voted and let them know how you feel about it.

True enough. It does have controller support. I just find the interface a little more usable with mouse controls.

Balatro is my new obsession. Runs great. I'm using the touchpad for mouse input.

Woof. Their website is chock full of buzzwords (with lots of bonus spelling and grammar errors) with very little actual specs. My personal favorite: "All new flasship gaming processpr" [sic]

Oh, and this helpful bullet list:

6D Immersive Gaming Experience

• Vision Track
• Adaptive Posture
• Sound Comes Alive
• Ultra-Precise Vibrations
• Audio Vibration Enhancement
• Sensory Sync

I have no idea what any of that means, and they don't explain any of it. But they do repeat it twice, so it must be pretty important.

Seriously. One of my pet peeves is shoes made with no outsole. Around 10 or 12 years ago a bunch of shoe brands decided they could save money if they stopped making shoes with a hard rubber outsole. Instead they just mold the tread into the soft midsole material. They spent a bunch of money convincing people it was fashionable. Probably a lot cheaper to produce for them. But the shoes wear out insanely fast.

I've been playing Planet of Lana. It's a puzzle platformer, very similar to Limbo or Inside. But there are some different mechanics that involve a companion animal that follows you around.

The story says they were in international waters, inside the Japanese economic zone. It's easy enough to find a map of that area if you need it. What are you implying that they are trying to gloss over?

I agree. If you're having trouble sleeping, playing an interactive game at bedtime is likely to make the problem worse, not better. If reading isn't your thing, consider listening to audio books or podcasts.

The mission "Entangled" is basically a truncated version of the plot from Half Life. I won't go into too many details but the artifact you retrieve is the Lambda artifact (the Half Life logo is the Greek letter lambda) The suit you get as a reward even has orange highlights that are mildly reminiscent of the HEV suit.
