And they come with some stickers or something but who cares I’m told that if I do one morePrime Big Deal Dayspost, they’ll take off the metal clamps holding my eyelids open, and won’t put them back on until Black Friday next month. Result! So here’s a little after-dinner mint of a PC gaming hardware bargain: JSAUX’sSteam Deckthumbstick covers, which come packaged with some stick-on decals for£8/$8. Both 20% off, they be, leaving a price so low I have real hope you’ll forgive me using the phrase “stocking stuffer” in October....

Despite missteps and the pitiful profits of the late 90s, Revolution Software keeps on turning A few months ago,Broken Swordcreator Charles Cecil walked out of the office of Revolution Software and onto the Shambles, the Diagon Alley-esque street that has survived since York’s days as a medieval trade hub. He closed the door behind him, somewhat grumpily - he’d had to work late, and it was already past eight o’clock. Then a voice piped up behind him....

4TB of solid state speed for just £178 / $210 Would it be fair to say that we sometimes overlook SATASSDs? With NVMe drives forming our future and mechanical hard disks increasingly consigned to the past, the 2.5in form factor is just kind of… there. In all of its middle groundedness. Which is harsh, because they can provide heaps of capacity at relatively attainable prices, as theCrucial BX500is currently demonstrating. PerPrime Big Deal Days, Amazon UK is running the 2TB version for just£92(34% off) as well as 4TB for£178(41% off)....

Now, Humble Games’s former general manager Alan Patmore and global publishing VP Mark Nash have foundedGood Games Group, a new indie publisher who will work with many of the same development partners from their Humble days....

Everyone on the ship has great oral hygiene, to be fair Mouthwashing’s greatest triumph is placing you at the scene. The first being the most obvious crime: a captain steering their space freighter into harm’s way, entirely on purpose. You’re there, staring through the eyes of the person in the cockpit. You open the locker and grab the key and insert it into the safety override panel with a satisfying click....

There’s always next time A new PlayStation blog (thanks cheery fanzinePCGamerfor the spot) has provided some illuminating info on the upcomingLike A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, and in many ways, the LAD series as a whole. The biggest takeaway: the fact pirateYakuzawas, at one point, going to be a fishing game called Like A Dragon: Tuna. Sachie KobariinterviewedRGG studio director and LAD executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama, alongside RGG’s chief producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto, about LAD: Pirate Yakuza’s origins....

It’s 41% off in the US as well I always like to balance the inherent cynicism and general corporate awfulness of covering events likePrime Big Deal Daysby focusing recommendations on hardware I genuinely like, and ideally, what I actually own. Partly hence theG515 Lightspeed TKL keyboard postfrom yesterday. And here’s another: the sleek-lookin', sharp-recordin' Logitech StreamCam, which is down from £139 to£70in the UK and down from $170 to$100in the US....

Hawthorn is everything I love doing everything I don’t Why,Hawthorn, must you put in me a position where I have to balance my love of woodland fantasy against my complete exhaustion with chopping things down to build other things? There are two scurrying mammals wearing robes inside of me, and they both loveRedwall,Mice And Mystics, andMouse Guard, but might spontaneously combust if they have to craft another hatchet. A trailer, eh?...

Act fast, the deal expires after today. We’ve all used a Steam Deck, so we all know how poor the battery lifecan be when playing a more graphically extensive game like God of War: Ragnarok, orCyberpunk 2077. Here’s the trick, you need a good power bank to accompany your portable PC adventures. One of my favorites is on sale in the final hours of theOctober Prime Day (Prime Big Deal Days)sale right now....

Refresh your memory It’s easy to think of your PC’s RAM as something that just needs to beenough, rather than a powerhouse like thegraphics cardor CPU. Easy for me, anyway, until testing out theSilent Hill 2 remakethis past week served up a reality check: modern games need a lot of memory, and in SH2’s case, might not even get past the Steam launcher if they decide you’re lacking in it. As penance, I’ve found some DDR5 RAM deals in thePrime Big Deal Dayssales that should set any modern rig for years and years of… well, games launching properly, I suppose....

Steeping a little longer The game is being published by Annapurna Interactive, which recentlyimploded like a sad submarine after all its crew angrily fired themselves into the sea via the torpedo bays. Although we don’t know the exact details of how the publisher’s ongoing difficulty is affecting studios linked to it, it’s likely not helping. It’s worth emphasising, however, that Ivy Road don’t state whether this particular hiccup has contributed to the delay....
