Yesterday Valve announced a new suite of Steam gaming hardware that includes a console-like Steam Machine, a standalone VR headset, and a new Steam Controller.

We've got previews of each device and we've spoken to Valve about them. Catch up here: www.eurogamer.net/tech-valve-a...
A close-up of the new Steam Controller, showing a the face buttons, thumbstick, Steam button and menu button in great, shiny black plastic detail. Valve's new Steam Machine - a small black cube with a lighting strip above the face-side USB ports. Valve's new standalone VR headset, which looks like a black ski mask, with two adjoining comma-shaped controllers.

Current progress on splatteworld: here's the retooled shop screen. Not final, but a big step. Item names are placeholder, but we're limited at ~14 characters max due to how inventory screens are laid out. But it's still a damn sight better than 8. Before and after attached.
Splatterworld Japanese shop screen. Upper left window says "Weapons." Below it is an annoyed-looking shopkeeper. Under him is the character list, and below that is the player's "Horror", the currency in the game. To the right is the item list, limited at 8 characters per item, Buy/Sell options below it. At the bottom of the screen is shopkeeper dialog; he's asking "What are you buying?" All text is 8x16. Splatterworld translated shop screen. Shopkeeper is at the top of the screen, above a window that says "Weapon Shop." Immediately to the left of him is the character list. Below both of those is the item list, which now allows up to 14 characters per. Below that is the player's horror (currency) on the left, and Buy/Sell on the right. The 8x16 text has been changed to 8x8, and the selection sprites have been widened horizontally and shrunken vertically to fit the new names. At the bottom of the screen is shopkeeper dialog; he's asking "What are you buying?" This text remains 8x16.

In a particularly rare case, Sony is allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection players to get refunds due to the brutally retro nature of this re-release. (Repost)

The Séance of Blake Manor is shaping up to be one of my favourite games this year, and a brilliant Halloween treat for detective fans

This is another reminder about the PaRappa 2 decompilation project, where we reached 64% (~43% for matched bytes) of completion. 🎉

Recently we achieved shiftability (the ability to add & delete code and data).

As always, any help is appreciated 🙂

Hello new friends! I'm Nadia. Thank you for following my shitty analogue circus.

I podcast like hell in addition to writing. I do a newsletter for our weekly podcast, Axe of the Blood God, that's always a blast. If you like my word-muck, please subscribe at the $5 level!

patreon.com/bloodgodpod
An excerpt from the weekly Axe of the Blood God newsletter. The picture is of Sans from Undertale sleeping. Text follows: Maybe it's defeatist of me to regard Undertale as the last clean truck stop before our societal freefall. I mostly blame Pokemon GO for that. (The summer of 2016 was the last time the world was friends.) Despite all the garbage going on in the world, Undertale is still a wonderful game with a message about love and friendship that may come off as a little corny in this day and age, but is vital for every human being to process: Loneliness is the #1 cause of people flipping out. Sometimes an all-powerful god-child isn't evil at heart. He just wants you to validate his anime OC. (Do Not Steal!!!) Hug a goat today.

A thread on Barney Ronay's article criticising the decision Birmingham City Council and supported by West Midlands police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from traveling to Birmingham. It might be a depressing decision but it's not a terrible one. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a terrible decision – and a depressing one | Barney Ronay
The idea that barring the Israeli club’s supporters from Villa Park will de-escalate a volatile situation just doesn’t stand up

Many Palestinians in Gaza felt there was little to celebrate on Monday. “It’s important that the bombing has stopped, but there’s nothing to be happy about,” said Saed Abu Aita, 44. “My two daughters were killed, my home was destroyed and my health has deteriorated.”
Gazans See Little to Celebrate Even Though the Bombs Have Stopped
The cease-fire in Gaza has taken hold. Hostages and prisoners have been exchanged. But amid the utter devastation of two years of war, a sense of gloom pervades.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list.

Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.
