    Here come the third-party Steam Machine accessories.

    Jsaux was early to ride the Steam Deck wave, and it’s even earlier to committing to the Steam Machine. Months ahead of its launch, Jsaux shared renders of two screen-equipped face plates, one of which seems similar to Valve’s not-for-sale e-paper prototype. My big question: how will these be powered?

    Trade in your taxidermy for video games.

    Some GameStop retail locations will host a “Bring Whatever, Get Store Credit! Some Questions Asked.” initiative, letting customers trade in one item for $5 store credit on Saturday, December 6th. Exclusions include VCRs, guns, jewelry, sex toys, and drugs. On the list of accepted items? Taxidermy. (Terms are at the bottom of GameStop’s homepage).

    I’m testing one of the most affordable 27-inch 5K monitors around.

    The $750 KTC H27P3 just showed up. It’s a 27-inch IPS screen with nearly the same pixel density as the $1,599 Apple Studio Display (217 vs. 218 PPI, respectively), plus two display modes: 5,120 x 2,880 at 60Hz refresh rate, or 2,560 x 1,440 at up to 120Hz. Review to come!

    The mythological pantheon of Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

    Gamers Nexus reports that the cost of many consumer DDR5 and DDR4 RAM kits has increased drastically recently.

    But why? There’s a lot to it, but AI datacenter projects, like OpenAI’s Stargate (which the company expects to require 900,000 semiconductor wafers per month), might be contributing to this trend.
