Importing anything into the UK with a value over £135 requires the payment of VAT. S'why my stock orders are arranged into boxes that are each valued at about £130. *taps nose*
Why are people surprised that their £300 game console has VAT to pay?

This Steam nonsense is getting silly now. Three quarters of my wishlist is on sale.

One of these things plays every Game Boy and Game Boy Advance game ever made.
The other is more expensive but ohmygodyoucanpressthebuttons.

An £800 handheld plays most PC games at 60fps. A PS5 is sub-£400. Find a PS4 for under a ton. A Brick Hammer that plays everything up to PS1 is £70.
Ain’t a game on the market that requires a 5090 and 128GB of DDR5, AFAIK.
Driving isn’t ‘unaffordable’ because Ferraris are expensive.

It just launched, I don’t see anyone talking about it, and it has only a handful of Steam reviews so I gotta say: Sektori absolutely rocks.
From an ex-Housemarque dev and if you love Resogun, Geometry Wars, etc. you need it in your life.

While I wait for my 8bitdo controller to turn up later - I am a mug - this just rolled in with today’s stock from Japan.
£7. Doesn’t work, but I will be proper emotional when I fix it. Back when I was just a wee prince, this was the first game I ever owned and I LOVED it.

So my original N64 recognises all inputs from my Retro-Bit or Retro Fighters controllers, but the Analogue 3D connected using the same dongles...doesn't?
But the controller from their partner - sold separately - works fine?
That's fucking suspicious, if I'm honest.

It’s the 1st/4.2nd/17th/23rd/39 years and 3 month anniversary of the North Azerbaijani release of the Sony Xbox 384 DS XL.
Best way to celebrate that is to mebbe shut the fuck up and play a game.

It's so weird seeing people crash out over the potential price of the Steam Machine. To me it was pretty obvious it'd be priced like a PC, not like a Console.
Hell, I'd be shocked if the next generations of consoles won't be priced like a PC.

Promoted via the playoffs. Dunno how.
Top 6 of 12 midway go to promotion group. Winner goes up. 2nd from each of 6 divisions go to 2 groups. Group winners (who are part timers) then play a pro team from the division above over two legs.
Plus all your players are non-contract and can just...leave.

Picked up Sektori (by @gimblll.com) on Steam and I've only played it for about 10 minutes, but I already recommend it.

Honest to fuck, people who call the GBA the ‘Game Boy Advanced’ should be fucking shot.
Spend half your life talking about what a herdcorn gamurz you are, then you drop that extra D like your momma should have.
Shameful.

I think it’s awesome that 4,246,972 outlets got Analogue 3D units to review a couple weeks before paid preorders even shipped.
All the reviews will really help boost the sales of an item that you literally cannot order.

Arrives here Friday. Got boned on shipping, so no idea if I can turn a profit. Worst comes to the worst, that PSVR1 unit is brand new so like...I can play Headmaster again. I AM GOOD BUSINESS MAN.

Everything is geared around every game being against Monster and vape-fuelled sweatlords who think they're going to turn pro despite being ranked 2,932,817th in the world.
I play online a fair bit, but I much prefer single-player any day. Give me decent single-player Ultimate Team options, EA.

58% of players in the UK said they preferred single-player games, and 65% in the US. Notably, age seems to play a factor.

Sad to see big outlets like Eurogamer and GameSpot still stuck in the social media trap of framing everything in ways that'll anger the maximum number of people. Scrolling Facebook is just an endless series of hastily made images that all pretty much say "YOU CAN'T PAUSE IN CALL OF DUTY."
