    It’s that time again: giveaway time.

    Everyone asks Verge reviewers if we get to keep the gadgets, and the answer is no — but I can give them to you! Our third Today I’m Toying With giveaway is live, and I’m making it a regular Wednesday thing. You have to enter to win each time; I do a weekly drawing. US residents only (sorry!)

    Nvidia’s RTX Spark PCs will get Sega games including Virtua Fighter.

    That’s the word from Nvidia today. Sega was already on Nvidia’s big partner list in May — see below — but you can add Virtua Fighter Crossroads to the list alongside Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Fortnite, Pragmata, League of Legends, Valorant, PUBG, Naraka Bladepoint and Alan Wake II. We don’t know which are built natively for Arm.

    Capcom, CD Projekt, Konami, Mihoyo, Saber, Wargaming, and Xbox are also on the list.

    I tried the Asus AR glasses with the OLED Ally — they felt extraneous.

    I enjoy plugging Xreal glasses into handhelds for a huge virtual desktop — but that’s no reason to make us buy the priciest version with a 240Hz mode handhelds have trouble powering. Plus, 240Hz halves resolution from 1080p to 540p, which felt weird and ugly in person. (120Hz was fine.) Good thing Asus will now sell the OLED Ally separately!

    If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

    The OLED Xbox Ally X20 is so good, Asus will sell it solo

    You won’t need to buy the AR glasses too.

    Intel wants to go back to space with Starfire-branded chips.

    Intel has put chips in many a spacecraft. Until 2012, the International Space Station had 16MHz Intel 8086 chips as its primary brains, then received an “EPIC” upgrade to 266MHz Intel Pentium. Now, Intel is publicly marketing cut-down Panther Lake chips for private space industry too.

    Insta360 just released 3D models of the Luna cam — so anyone can 3D print accessories for it.

    Want a cool accessory that fits the Luna Ultra and/or its detachable screen? Bambu’s new contest is incentivizing makers to build some — there are already 23 new designs. Make your own by building around the 3D models, or just using ’em to punch a camera-sized receptacle in your design.

    There are more files than these — the clip-on piece in the modular parts file looks particularly useful for amateurs like me!
