Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

I might've just played the greatest run of my ARC Raiders career. Ran into 4 other solos. We all teamed up, took out a bunch of large ARC enemies, opened up some key card rooms, did some friendly PVP, picked each other w/ defibs, and extracted together. Don't know if I'll ever experience that again.

Playing "Dispatch" on PS5, the dispatching sequences would have been perfect for virtual mouse controls. It feels a bit clunky to navigate the map and menus with a controller.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

This is great news. I hope the price is reasonable.
Valve has brought the Steam Machine back, and this time it's an impressive, compact, SteamOS-powered box that aims to further bridge the gap between gaming PCs and consoles. We went to Valve to try it out.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
