Retro & Indie video games, dragons, plants, SPACE, greyhounds, and more. Probably a few grumbles about the state of the industry and whatever Aus politics is up to.

I had no idea that Analog, Asimov's, and MoF&SF had come under new ownership that is issuing predatory contracts to writers, including rights grabs for producing things like toys based on stories (seriously!) and putting the writer in the hot seat for out-of-court settlements they arbitrarily make.

That's not HL3. I guess all those speculating were wrong once again! :P
Valve has announced the Steam Machine, a console-like PC gaming device, as well as a new Steam Controller, slated for early 2026.
Valve suggests the Steam Machine is six times more powerful than the Steam Deck.
"It has the power of an entry-level PC, and will be priced similarly," they said.

I must admit, though I keep my phone in my pocket or under the chair while driving, I did think about buying a big shirt covered in phone designs.
But I didn't want to fight a fine for doing so.

So, HIBP let me know via email I've been caught in the "Synthient Credential Stuffing Threat Data data breach".
Along with ~2billion other accounts.
And it's kinda useless as I don't know which site was compromised to go and change. Could be a decade old one no longer used for all I know.

Backlog Day: XCOM: Enemy Within
I only ever played X-Com/UFO and Chimera Squad. I was doing quite well, until I tried to help out the French and 3 of my team got wiped and Vahlen kept telling me not to blow stuff up.
Why can't I blow Vahlen up? Or feed her to a Chryssalid for study?
