Prey even has a "SOLD OUT" label on top of its image if you add it to a showcase on your Steam profile. Pictured here are also some other games no longer available for purchase on Steam.

The prices for Nintendo Switch 2 in Finland just made me chuckle. I was prepared to pay the MSRP, but the distributor in Finland seems to think adding an extra 25% on top is acceptable.
Yeah, fuck that.
Yeah, fuck that.

Weekend’s book haul. For some reason it’s getting increasingly hard to find The Long Earth books or Discworlds with Kidby/Kirby covers. Especially in Finland. Thus I grasped the opportunity while in London.
Also nice to find Vonnegut books other than the three most famous ones.

I should also get a new mug at some point. Been using this ToeJam & Earl mug exclusively for the past few years and it’s starting to show.

After a long period of not buying any vinyl records, I ended up ordering a second record within the last week. Really cool that Amesoeurs’s album gets reissued. It’s a perfect pixie shoegaze metal album.

Mockingbird by Walter Tevis from 1980 is almost prophetic with its story about a world governed by an AI, a mass epidemic of depression, declining birthrates, and people losing the ability to read. It's a story that has stayed with me ever since I read it. A masterpiece.
